   First of all, this novel features multiple female characters, each of whom is well-developed (although some feel forced). The plot is fairly standard, lacking any novel tropes. Overall, as the title suggests, it's a light novel, purely for enjoyment. The downside: like most light novels, it's all about the thrill. The plot progresses noticeably faster in the later stages.

    This book follows the typical genius-level progression story, where characters acquire skills and equipment gradually. There's no "pretending to be weak to deceive others" trope; the genius rises to power through sheer force. The pacing is steady, the logic is sound, and none of the characters become unintelligent; there are no mindless villains who appear to humiliate and demoralize the reader. The power system remains consistent (a common problem in many books is that power levels start to crumble in the early to mid-stages and then disappear completely in the later stages). This isn't a book with fake reviews; it's worth a read.
