Pretty decent resolution of the plot of v1, although the series itself is not yet finished. Still, not much is setting it apart from the typical villainess stories, and since I have never been a big fan of (ridiculous) oblivious MCs or some of the other tropes in this book it wasn't really the story for me.

I finally figured out why I disliked Volume 1 so much. It feels like the author or publisher split one complete story in half, then sold each half as Volume 1 and Volume 2. They really should have dropped the boring and unnecessary bonus stories from each and combined both volumes into a single book, especially given how short Volume 2 is.

Volume 1 ended on a pretty lackluster note, but if the story had been presented as a full, unified book, that ending would have landed more like a slow middle section that leads into a more satisfying conclusion. As a complete story, I might have even given it around 3.5 stars. It is a cute, simple read, nothing groundbreaking, but with a few hooks for future adventures.

I would only recommend reading this volume if you finished Volume 1 and felt unsatisfied, and you want closure on the story.
