262 - 4.5 - if you don’t expect anything too original when it comes to the plot, then it’s a very good pick
It’s packed with action, it’s highly humorous, there’s no stupid monster massacre, and for once, the characters care about the value of life (including monsters) and the natural balance (not killing everything because they can)
On the plus side too there is little gender bias, even if mostly it still feels like a male world, I’ve rarely seen so little emphasis about it, and our team is not so far from gender equity
It’s not a one hero solo book, and not a harem story, the characters are flawed and imperfect - yet there's a really nice team spirit, lots of situations that are resolved with great team work without too much alpha syndrome
The pace is fast and the battle not long enough to get me bored, there’s just enough emotional tension and the value nice, lastly the antagonists not ridiculously stupid so far
Without being really awesome, it’s a very good light entertainment without the common flaws of these kind of tittle
If i had to mention one flaw, it would be that the mc feels a bit dull in the latest chapters (maybe he’s a bit too serious this time and feels isolated from his amazing crew)
