The story in volume 6 is criticized for being largely uneventful, focusing more on mundane aspects like food preparation and civilian life rather than delivering the expected drama and action. Many reviewers feel that this volume serves primarily as a setup for future installments, lacking the self-contained narrative quality of earlier volumes and resembling a slice-of-life format amidst a war backdrop. Overall, the anticipation for a compelling story is met with disappointment, as the narrative feels diluted and overpriced.
“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.”
“We finally got a glimpse of what the actual story was going to be in volume 6.”
“We finally got a glimpse of what the actual story was going to be in volume 6, but almost nothing happens here.”
“When I purchase a visual novel, I am expecting a story with drama and action, not a lesson in food preparation.”
“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.”
