plot wise, i consider the ln on the top 10 percentile of Isekai stories.
the anime is obviously missing budget but otherwise does a decent job of adapting the story considering that, the biggest question is if this season will only adapt the first 2 novels for better pacing or the first 3 for a better season ending. the setting feels like utawarerumono but adding an otome game paint job to it ( and pay 2 win). |

Unless this already has a second cour planned I can't imagine them not adapting vol 3 it just wouldn't make sense not to considering its the perfect stopping point. |

It's not just that they run the show. spoiler[But that a temporary system was designed so that the nobles from a certain levels would act in a self destructing manner so that can used to purge them later.] spoiler[And the nobles spared from the future purge's work is to not allow that to affect the lower classes.] TLDR: spoiler[Too many nobles in the kingdom and that's causing a financial straing, a purge is needed, but it would be bad to simply destroy them without justification, so they create laws that will encourage behavior that can be used as excuse to destroy them later.] |

Is this from one of the side-stories or WN? I do kinda remember something like that, but I don't remember reading it in the LN. |

I definitely don't remember it, unless it's from a later LN. |

it's not said outright, it's implications based.on information given around the series, including Marie's route/spin off.

I was wondering about that regarding Angie’s fate in the game. It’s kind of sad they consider that a bad end for her but that reflects the values of Holfort I suppose.
I watched 2 episodes then decided to check out the manga then proceeded to read the novels up to the end of volume 5. I love this ridiculous story, Leon, Lux, Livia and Angie and have come around on Marie. It was quite a page turner. The light novel art and the manga are great but the anime’s art direction, flat look and lack of animation is really unfortunate. The first four battles in the duel really emphasized the lack of animation. At least the pacing is good so far. I think they’ll adapt to the end of volume 3 and hopefully not skip anything significant. |

"I think Marie's biggest mistake is that she thinks once she reaches the “ending” of the game, it's happily ever after for her. But realistically, once she reaches that point, she'll no longer be able to steal Olivia's lines and act like her. Perhaps it's only then that the mask will come off and her harem will be able to break free of her manipulations."
I just started laughing at this, Marie doesn't know what's going to hit her when she succeeds in her harem route! |

Delicious karma there. There is no choosing wisely, she just takes all the apples as is. |

Wait, did I hear that right? Is Marie possibly Leon’s sister from back in Japan? The one who made him play thru the game for her?

spoiler[ In main storyline, yes, she is his lil sis. In side story, no, she just share similar background but not his exact lil sis. Yes, they will confront on each other being siblings but you'll have to wait.] |

Basically, a large amount of the cast makes decisions to achieve a short term goal, then discovering that in the long term they have screwed themselves. Starting with Leon's stepmother trying to marry off Leon for money.

I'm wondering if this is actually the greatest issue that will come out of this situation. These guys losing sort of represents a cataclysmic disaster for the nobles that bet "all their money" on them. This could literally means financial disaster. The underdog winning is good for the book-makers and the few that bet on the underdog, but someone has to cover the losses of everyone else. Most likely, the families of the prince and his entourage are going to have to do so. And THEY are also going to have to face the wrath of the crowd that believed that they were the sure thing to bet on. |

I wouldn't reach that point. Most of them are students so "all their money" mean their allowance which is still a lot by sheer amount of people betting against them but not to the point of economic disaster |

If I remember correctly from the manga spoiler[he didn't just have a bad personality, he was abusive. So it wasn't just, "she's unhappy because she doesn't have the privileged life she expected", but a certifiable "bad end". Basically the awful fate that the villainess seems to get in otome games. Or at least the ones portraited in all these isekai villainess stories lol. The manga also didn't mention if it was the original Leon or not, though it was implied considering the setup presented.] |
