After watching the anime, I started reading the light novel, and the series itself is really good. However, the author managed to ruin a part of the story in the final volume. In the end, Sadao chooses Chiho, and why is that so bad? It made the story bad because from volume 9 to 21, Chiho has almost no importance in the story anymore. When the story takes place in Japan, yes, Chiho is well-developed, but even in Japan, she was still secondary compared to Emi. But after volume 9, this became even stronger because the story takes place in Ente Isla, where the focusis entirely on Sadao, Emi, and Suzuno. But mainly Sadao and Emi, where they develop romance, closeness, friendship. LITERALLY EVERYTHING. After a bunch of things, Sadao becomes human with Emi's help, who saved him with a kiss when he died. Then he says he has no romantic feelings for Emi. BUT HOW? The author literally built almost the entire story around them, they even had a daughter. After being with Chiho, he opens a café with her, but they are still extremely poor and can't even afford their wedding, while Emi continues to stay in Japan, she is successful and invests in his café and even shares custody with him. The end. YES, THAT'S THE END OF THE STORY. THE AUTHOR LITERALLY RUINED THE END OF THE STORY OUT OF PURE PREFERENCE. IT MAKES NO SENSE, HE THREW AWAY THE ENTIRE DEVELOPMENT OF THE STORY. But apart from the ending, the story is good.
