my only regret is reading it before it's completed. and the update schedule is also hella slow, so ill probably forget the chara's name in the meantime. sigh. the story is phenomenal, and there's no shortage of smart charas beside the glasses mc. he;s definitely not the strongest, or the smartest, but he sometimes come up with great plans/scehemes that could be pulled off with luck and boldness. the plethora of relevant likable side charas with their own personalities and strengths/weaknesses and interpersonal relationships and team dynamics creates a sense of realism and community, and i applauded the author for juggling all of that while creating logical and creative strategies using the world's power system. and need i mention the power system and battle play? the power system is relatively easy to understand, it's more sci-fi than fantasy. and there are so many ways to utilize triggers. the battles are always unpredictable, bc every chara is reasonable smart, with their own talents, it's very common for initial strategies to fail, forcing charas to come up with more various clever strategies that utilizes and boisters the team ace or make up for the weakest's weaknesses. also, i like how low the stakes are for the story, there's plenty of action but it also feels rather slice-of-life bc of a relative lack of intensity.
