The story in volume 6 has been criticized for its lack of action and compelling narrative, focusing instead on mundane details like food preparation and civilian concerns amidst war. While it introduces new and returning characters and sets the stage for future developments, many reviewers feel it lacks the drama and excitement expected from the series, resembling more of a slice-of-life format rather than a self-contained story. Overall, the volume is seen as a disappointing setup for what is hoped to be a more engaging climax in volume 8.
“The entire volume is a setup for a climax story in volume 8 by introducing us to new and old returning characters, as well as the conflict at hand.”
“Because of this, the entire volume seems less like a self-contained story like previous volumes and more of a slice of life show (in a battlefield) with an overarching plot in the background.”
“We finally got a glimpse of what the actual story was going to be in volume 6, but almost nothing happens here.”
“Again overpriced, especially the last chapter; the author must love his food because more than half the story is about food and how it is prepared.”
“When I purchase a visual novel, I am expecting a story with drama and action, not a lesson in food preparation.”
