    Reader note

    A light novel focused on action! It leans towards shonen manga, a light novel with an anime/manga feel, but without the usual filler content and doesn't rely on high readership. It's slightly chuunibyou (adolescent delusions of grandeur), and the female lead is even a classic tsundere. There are probably several hundred thousand words in the backlog. I wrote the entire director's statement and volume outline seven years ago, so the framework was very complete. Then I got busy with graduation and work and put the book aside. Because I wanted all the characters in my story to have a complete ending, and because I have an outline and focus on plot development, I wanted to finish the whole story, so I've picked it up again. I'd love to hear from experienced authors about plot holes and inconsistencies. Thank you all!
