Please remember that I've already read the entire series in its original Japanese version. While the series as a whole is exceptional, individual books might seem less impactful due to its gradual pace. Initially, it appears directionless, but skillfully weaves plot threads early on, addressing them incrementally. Virtually every named character holds significance, with their own stakes and motivations contributing to the overarching narrative. The core storyline gains momentum around volume 5 (Chapter 130), but prior to that, numerous enjoyable subplots and humorous moments keep it engaging.
In terms of translation quality, the older translation by Estelion's Secret Imouto is abysmal. It's essentially poorly edited machine translation, turning into a half-hearted adaptation of the manga a few chapters in.
On the positive side, the newer translation by Divine Dao Library stands out. It's excellently crafted, maintaining consistent names and terminology, and the localization is smooth without losing the original nuances. It's worth noting that they redid the initial chapters done by Estelion's Secret Imouto, so start from the penultimate chapter listing.
Update (June 7, 2020): The Divine Dao Library translation, currently up to Chapter 82, has experienced a slight dip in quality since Chapter 40. Occasional editor and proofreader comments, although infrequent, can be distracting.
Update (October 10, 2021): The Divine Dao Library translation has progressed to Chapter 225, and the overall quality has improved over the past 100 chapters. The jokes are now localized more heavily, enhancing the humor in the translation.
Update (September 15, 2024): The Divine Dao Library translation has now completed the main web novel content and is currently engaged in the additional side stories released alongside print book editions. The translation remains consistently strong throughout.
