I've been enjoying all the novels thus far so the story itself definitely gets 5 stars from me. However if I am to take translation into consideration, it wouldn't be 5 stars. One of the reasons is that the translation doesn't retain honorifics. Especially in this series where I felt it was especially important regarding each character's relationship with one another. This is most likely a Yen Press thing so I don't blame the translator on it.
There's also a very specific line that I don't agree with on p.12 where it was translated as.
