The art is fantastic but it does get challenging

Let me start with what everyone has been saying - the art is phenomenal. This is handsdown the prettiest manga I've read so far and even a few books in I still catch myself just staring at the artwork for some time.

The story itself is good but nothing too captivating for me. It felt a bit handholdy and predictable at times but was still enough to keep me going.

Having read now 5 books of the series I can safely say that the difficulty curve is all over the place. I'd place myself in the early N2 level and some sections I can blast through without many look ups but then especially when it comes to explanations of magic or when certain characters speak it becomes very fantasy-esque where they love to use words you just don't see in everday speech. Still a good intro if this is a genre you want to approach but be aware that you're not stupid for not understanding at times it just does become challenging later on.
