In the ninth installment, Lv 2 kara Cheat manages to continue balancing its feel-good nature against its couple of problematic relationships. This book’s a bit more focused on the blonde hero’s party than usual but is otherwise more of what you should have come to expect by now from the series.
The seventh Shinja Zero no Megami-sama novel picks up right where the previous one left off and proceeds along at a rather brisk pace. You get a power-up for both the protagonist and Aya, some focus on one of the scattered former classmates, and a bit of political intrigue alongside awkward harem antics.
