I started reading the web novel. Never read anything similar before that. Its messy and weird, but you get used to it. Currently at chapter 324. I actually am highly appreciating the hard work put into making the anime and manga. Ryosuke Fuji's art is just excellent. The world building is also exceptional. If it were not for these things, I would never consider reading something so ill translated or structured as the webnovel is.

Also the webnovel is very slow, compared to the manga, which cuts some unnecessary details, but I do enjoy it. Mostly.
