Finished it, I put it on hold to read because it looks like misery p*rn. I love it that the author weave why we should care for each character even if your gut feeling that they will die in first arc. It's simply phenomenal in term of character but lacking in term of logistics and worldbuilding especially the magic and politics stuff (if you are looking for that then read youjo senki). The TS is simply useless especially what the author do in arc 4 but isekai trope is still used a bit at least. It's super depressing maybe I could say it's indeed miseryp*rn but a great one. Cried like a b*tch in last arc. Read the LN up to vol 4 and not too much changed and i think manga story felt like finished draft but the art especially it's arc 1 and 2 will be lil bit off putting
