About this ebook

Against his wishes, Leon keeps getting pulled deeper and deeper into these otome game plotlines. Somehow, he's ended up with the Guardian Crest of the Sacred Tree, which is supposed to manifest on the hand of the chosen love interest. But Noelle, the new protagonist, couldn't possibly feel such things for him, right? He's going to have to figure it out fast, or Noelle might be swept away by men with far darker intentions for the Alzer Republic...and for Noelle herself.

Ratings and reviews

I think volume #5 is the end for me. i think we can see what happen in the future. i think mc will remains as incompetent as usual with many girls like him because his status and cheat item. well, i can't blame him though, but there are many possibilities to solve the problem but the mc . . . . well you know what i mean when you already read this volume. I think if mc can be competent despite his actual age and experience in dating sim, he should know better but he always looks as clueless af.

I really have enjoyed the pacing of this series so far. The queen is my favorite for #1 harem slot. Obviously this arc should end with the next book. It appears that our hero just can't refuse to save any damsel in distress as it should be. The sister storyline takes a interesting twist with her reverse harem storyline in this book. The next book should be interesting to see what the author confirms about the larger picture. Is this truly a post apocalyptic earth situation which has been implied several times before. Next book somehow needs to incorporate Angela and the Hermione more which is expected. Last note the hero really needs to add an elf to harem to complete it. As the hero needs to do some internal clean up especially with the previously renegade duchy being persecuted so much so that it is the next arc. Just maybe, we can elven damsel in distress too.

It was a great volume. Great translation overall. There were highs and lows, and while this isn't my first time going through this volume, it was still great. The liberties Seven Seas did made to better fit the language and make the narrative flow more smoothly. I just have one nitpick: why is Livia still referring to Leon as "Mr. Leon“? I know it's because of how she calls him in the original Japanese LN, but it just sounds weird, especially since the first few volumes didn't use this.
