The opening chapters felt sorta tedious as being already familiar with the world system of this series is no wonder, but it certainly caught my interest the more I read

Quick Final Review (spoiler-free)
Characters like Lefiya and Luluna were tiring me out, their presences and other irrelevant matters render this rather boring. But regardless of that, I actually care for this, mostly for characters like Aiz, Asfi (not much, but still) or Finn
At this point, development (in general) doesnβt concern me much βcause Iβm already somewhat familiar with itβ¦as a matter of fact, Iβm pretty much frantic to advance faster

Final Thoughts (spoiler-free)
I just canβt bring myself to like a character like Lafiya [yet]β¦ But anyway, I thought this vol. was a pretty nice bump over the previous ones; the pivotal moments made me like it as such

Final Thoughts (spoiler-free)
I skimmed through it all ngl, I was interested in Tione and Tionaβs plot, but I was already familiar with them from the manga I read a while ago
Besides that, most if not all of the βhappeningsβ seemed pretty damn pointless/useless to meβ¦
Incidentally, the villains have been lame asf so far.

Final Review
A pretty enjoyable read, I got so from this. Despite going into it with low expectations, one could say it exceeded them; I loved the scenes, characters and this prelude of a story as a whole
I was so glad that Astrea Familiaβsβ¦demise wasnβt at this point in time. I wouldβve felt it, for real. But this let me gasp the impact it will take later on
Alfia's ending did felt a littleβ¦little, thoughβ¦ At the time, that isβI felt so no more after reading on. Underwhelming, even. Dunno, I just expected more from her character at the time. But I loved them allβErebus, Zald, and Alfia

Quality of Translations
- Fortunately, this is not so much of a concern for this series. The entire suite of official translations for the whole light novel franchise (Main Vols., Sword Oratoria, Familia Chronicle, Astrea Record, and others) is pretty decent despite some criticism. And there are no alternatives to begin with
