First few volumes are great. Then it devolves into time skip, side story, time skip, time skip, side story. Characters getting new gear just happens off screen. New skills, new levels? Of screen. You will get a sentence here or there that just says "oh btw so this and that happened". The pacing is jarring and not good in the slightest after the first few volumes. The funniest thing about the school arc is that there is no school scenes. Only later will you see a reference of something like... more>> "oh yeah we learned this in X class".

If the entire story was written as well as the first few novels I would give this an 8/10. However, with the later novels having erratic pacing and tons of time skips and side stories with a lot of progression glossed over I give it a 6.5/10 <<less

Came from the manga. At first it started off interesting but later it got tedious to read through because the summons are just named bird A or something. Like the MC feels boring and the summoning system gets full quickly. Average at best

At least the manga compressed some parts of the story so it's better to read that instead
