Good adaptation but they botched the ending.

The narrative does well in adapting the plot of the novels, but in ch 10 and 12 they introduce a non-canon elements to the story that derail the original premises of the story.

This is a world of real people, everyone in this universe has free will and their own ego. That is why Yumiella becoming lv 99 so early one causes a Domino effect that changes the future of the game story. So introducing a "The game plot controls Alicia's body" makes this whole premise moot. Yumiella's actions in the story, Alicia's lack of level, and other ... events that cause Alicia to not grow as an individual lead to a very interesting character development that makes future adaptations of the novel close to impossible.

Also, the Demon King Fight was tainted. The whole extra 10 minutes of Alicia attacking Yumiella was awkward to watch. They should have kept things in the original order, as well as shown Yumiella's reluctance to kill the Demon Lord. As he was the first Human she ever killed.

I suggest watching this anime up to episode 9, then reading chapters 5 and 7 of the novel.

I would say that this was close to becoming one of the best adaptations I have seen, but this major flaw just leaves a bitter taste in my mouth.
