The story drags unnecessarily. Similar to this plot: "My Next Life as a Villainess: All Routes Lead to Doom!", but extra long with no ending in sight. I watched the anime first and then read the manga and light novel. There were some arcs in the light novel that could have been just condensed to one or two chapters. At this point, I think the writer is just milking the plot, given how she included another arc for a "2nd game" to the plot. I think I'm going to drop this series. Only read this novel if you're okay with waiting forever for an actual ending (like Naruto). If you have short attention span or don't want to wait that long for an actual ending, don't dive in.
