How does it compare to the author other works?

Like im sure for some of us this is the first work of the author that we got introduce to.

But reading a bit about him he had other works previously and at the same time.

While of différents genre overall quality is indeed something that can be discuss from work to work in a author library.( like the general difference in quality between the star wars originale and prequels and sequels films)

So how does kimisen compare to the author other works?

Should I start the LN from the beginning?

Short story: Was S1 a faithful adaptation or is it worthwhile to read the series from the beginning?

Long story: So I recently saw that S2 of this show was airing and remembered how much I liked the anime, I just finished my rewatch of the first season and decided to start the novels after S2 but.......you know what happened. Anyway I've been getting some mixed feed back with my research of how good of an adaptation S1 was and was wondering if I should just read it from the beginning or jump straight to Vol5.

Also please correct me if I'm wrong here: There are currently 16 volumes and 1 extra volume of side stories called the "secret files"? With 13 officially translated?

If you guys could give any additional info or corrections I'd be happy to hear them like where the side story fits on the time line and when I should read it

Thanks.

Still no news... is it possible that S2 is canceled ?

While its on hiatus officially with no date in sight.

Do you think its possible they may have just given up due to not be profitable and the industry shaky state right now?

Were Alice and Sisbell that bad of sisters to Elletear ???

Im asking this cause when Elletear was discussed this came up frequently enough that im actually curious.

Now the mom was....not the best. I dont think she was the worst mom ever( hello Ragyo/Medusa) but she wasn't...the best. But while not excusable she was since a young age in a mess of a situation which affected her to say the least.

Also the sovereignty is to put it lightly a shitty system full of hypocrisy and discrimination. Rather funny considering what the Astral mages ran away and fights against. Not so différent i guess.

Now for alice and Sisbell.

We dont know much about the backstory (actually a complaint i have. Not much we got) about the trio but from what i gathered. None of the two seemed to even had care about her or something.

Hell even Alice and Sisbell dont even seem to get along in the present which may explain why the family bond was ruined overall. Cant even get along with yourselves huh? So much for unity i guess.....

Anyways. Were the two that bad of siblings to their older sister or what?

The middle princess syndrome .

Let me talk about my favorite character

Aliceliese has literally manifested the middle sister traits in this work . Where she was forced to grow in particular way for her family sake . Whilst her big sister definitely put efforts to get better it was all unseen due to the power system .

Alice focus on her life goals made her distant from both sisters . The girl doesn’t even know some normal pleasures like her little sister nor depends on others like her big sister . As result she couldn’t often abandon her role even if she want to . We can only imagine how she grow up as politics child . Her teenage days filled of meeting and papers . Restricted

Even though she seems to accept this fate . Her struggles began to show when she met iska . A person who treat her differently . Not just a princess soon to be queen or weapon in war . She tried to balance this desire with her reality . Then both of her sisters actions that she observed begin to rub on her . They were far from the princess she build herself to be . A foreign idea of princess .

Alice arc is all about identity and what she really want . This is my favorite part about her . She’s discovering different desires and sides of her that probably didn’t exist before . Question and fear to lose this only relationship if she give up and names it something else. Because if she did it will contradict her ideals and the role she was given . The way she grows to be. She also began to see her flaws . Her fate goes upside down in single night yet she was strong to accept this change and had unsuccessful attempts to ask for help from the only person who have seen the true Aliceliese .

Not like before where she freed him in return got something back but this time it will be as bond between two persons . I’m so excited for the next volumes and how Aliceliese is going to develop
