This volume is very different from the light novel but it did leave two questions since the next volume description says satous promotion and the questions are following. How does satou get promoted? Also does zena go with him? Other than that I felt like I was reading a different series comparing the webnovel to the light novel but at the same time the same series.

First things first, error callout : not geist, but geas/geis (no t, geist is German, geis/geas is Old Gaelic). So, a thing that jumps at me first is that this volume has probably the biggest deviation from the original WN script. Orphaned plot threads adopted, late-appearing plot points foreshadowed, some circumstances changed, and flashbacks becoming more coherent. All good changes IMO, the kind of thing that new readers can still enjoy, and old readers can wonder at. Naturally, the main show for me is the sheer disconnect to common sense that Satou suffers from. It has to be seen to be believed. And it seems like the author is really set on denying Satou his true love. Give us Chant Orb-chan you coward! This volume is mostly low-intensity in comparison to the ones before. No big boss fight or anything. Back to another long wait then….
