There are some really cool plot points that I actually would have liked to see - for example, inner conflict in the Vow, Mile having to choose between the Vow and the Wonder Trio, Mile choosing whether or not to make the Vow op etc..

The only problem I have with all of those plot points is that the author never actually follows up on everything. Everytime something sick might be established and we might getting some character development, the author just says "haha you thought" to our faces and never actually giving it. The biggest BS I see is at the end of volume 13 where Marcela and the others just randomly get these super op powers one chapter from Mile and then nothing still happens. Probably will next book, but they only used like 10 pages to do that and these was roughly no dialogue anyway.

Even the stuff with the Brandel Kingdom and their king and princess chasing Mile would have been fun, but when we thought we could have seen something relating to it in V5 there's nothing there leaving only disappointment. I'm sure something might happen later on, just don't know if I'll stay there for that long.

Even though Mile has cool stuff that might happen, it never does. Ofc nothing is finished yet, these things should just happen in the next few volumes after for a good story telling experience at least for me.

Maevis has nearly died three times in a row now and lost an arm just trying to keep up with the other three. Between that, her training arc, her constant struggle to try and stay relavent amidst three powerhouse magicians.. Honestly, the author is doing a fantastic of developing her.

In short, the Estelion translation is holding this story back. I like story and characters, but the repeated poor quality of the editing and machine translation ruins a lot of it. I honestly wish they'd drop it, and someone else pick it up.

When they released a purely machine translated chapter 106 it settled it for me. The writing is occasionally ambiguous and hard to follow. The editing is often plagued with redundant and poorly constructed sentences. Seeing the garbled mess of machine translation the editors are working with gives me new respect for them, but ultimately, they are mediocre editors working with a garbage translation.

I like Mile and her companions. I like the concept and the parts of the story that shine through. I don't like the translation though.

Adele arrives - invisible, cloaked - before the lesson starts. The girl, the merchant daughter she once used to tutor, is sitting with the other students near the front, all waiting for the teacher. The teacher arrives, the girl gets up and walks to the front/blackboard, the teacher sits down in her (student) chair - and the girl starts the lesson. The teacher writes down what she teaches :-) --- Background: Adele, as a top student from Japan, has math knowledge far exceeding the medieval-level 2nd tier academy teacher's knowledge, so when she taught the girl it was far above what the teacher there knew.

All the author does here is add one single word: "UNDERSTOOD." With that word - suddenly appearing in her ears injected from the nano-machines when she attempts to give a thought-command to create "a lot of" water, this would be much less funny because then there only is the amount of water created that is unexpected, However, that amount is not really unexpected to the reader, but adding that single word that for Adele but to an extend also to the reader comes from nowhere at least for me makes this very simple paragraph so much more funny. Subtle humor that arises from the context and is not force-fed to the reader, I like that.

For example, there is a Adele-soloing side-story where she explicitly supports "the ruling class" (here: the local lord) against farmers/villagers who want their taxes lowered ; or another story (actually, I think that happens along similar lines more than once) where the girls don't kill the enemy group - but they break everybody's legs (!!) to prevent them from being able to return home too quickly. They just walk around the already down and beaten people and one by one break a leg of each and every one. So it's kind of hard to think the novel is too pacifist or too idealistic.

The God who reincarnates our protagonist, whether willingly or not willingly, chooses to use an unconventional scale for "average." Rather than taking the mean, he takes the median, which obviously would skew her power levels. Her magic level is in the middle of the most powerful magic user in the Universe and someone with no magic. Whereas the average magic user is probably in the lower 5%, she's plainly on a completely different level from the average populace. She reincarnates into a noble household because the median in the class system happens to not be "commoner, " but a lower rank of noble instead. So on and so forth.

So technically she is average? I guess? It's not like Evil God Average where the protagonist asked one thing and God just said "f*ck it" and ruined everything for shits and giggles. This God's just lazy. Really though, this is another story with an overpowered protagonist, and if you thought it was about someone with average skills in an underdog story or doing some other interesting stuff with that premise, then I'm sorry for your loss.
