I really enjoy the writing style of these light novels. I feel like they can be very stream of thought like. There is a lot of deep thoughts and ideas that are whisked away by humor or situations, which is very fitting to the world.

I really liked the Inumaki story but didn’t care for the Kyoto girls story. The Ultimate Mechamaru and first year trio stories were really wonderful and talk about loss in different ways. I think this light novel was very good at remembering the main cast are teenagers.
