Review:
I noticed a very GLARING similarity while reading this, so I checked Novel Updates to see if it really was the novel I was thinking of. I was right, of course im doing this review to say that Orin_Watari DIDNT WRITE THIS, I only skimmed the 4 chapters he has up (unless you count the prologue) but I also think he didn´´t translate this. So unless he takes this thing on a different direction from the original novel, or translate this story BETTER than the other groups did, that are already on novelupdates, THAT ARE ALREADY ON THE SEVENTH VOLUME (more especifically they are on chapter 389) [For reference the first volume lasts about 50 chapters, and all the other ones are around 50-65 chapters each one (kinda) ] You should just read the already translated chapters.
Actual Review:
With that out of the way I think the story in of it itself is fine. I would give it 3.5 stars.I think the book being a keeper of his progress is cool, the summons are cute and uh the characters are fine.
TL;DR
Orin_Watari Didn't write this, didn't translate this (75%~ sure of the translation) and you should just read the chapters that are already translated by way better groups. The actual story is fine.
