"It gets good in season 5" energy
Language learning: This is the junior edition with furigana so kanji wasn't a challenge. When I started the read it felt pretty tough, but reading some other things and coming back to it helped. Once I got used to the writing style I felt like the same general pool of vocabulary was being used, besides occasional new vocabulary for making new things.
Entertainment: This volume felt like very long scene setting for the fantasy world and characters. Despite the page count, I didn't feel like the characters started to gel until the actual last chapter of this volume (which is partway through the normal volume 1). I think this started out as a webnovel so that's not too surprising; usually webnovels take a while before they find their footing. I can see how it might be interesting to follow the characters in their journey from humble beginnings, and see Myne's ascendance through the social ranks (I assume), but the character relationships in this volume didn't really grab me so far.
