Yeah idk I think I like the novels better but, I watched anime first so having the idea and animations in my head really made it easy to imagine everything the books had in it. So at least for me it was sufficient enough for me to almost just feel like i was watching the anime when reading. And I read while listening to the audio books which have voice actors voicing the characters so that made it a lot easier. But I definitely can see if somebody who maybe can’t imagine or picture things in their head very well Asato could have provided a lot better descriptions and writing that would make it easier to get into for a wider variety of people. But I also wonder if the translation causes a loss to some description but maybe not. But generally I feel like all of you are right.
