It's good.

Author insists on making the children of the nobles from the Beltrum Kingdom, evil unjust, fickle, and in total impunity. The same bullies that accused Rio, when Rio saved Flora from being thrown down the hill. The same sons of nobles that left Flora behind to be a target for the Minotaur that Reiss left for the students.
Sons of nobles are not nobles. They have no noble title inherited yet. A noble title is personal, not to a family, nor is Rio a noble, so when the author writes Sir Rio and Lord Rio, author denotes lack of education. Lords are people that have been given a title by an authority from a Country, Kingdom, etc. The Proxia Empire that the author created is not an Empire because an Empire requires several territories banded together by one emperor. If Proxia is a small territory (smaller than a kingdom or a country, then it cannot be called an empire.)
And yet again, the author makes a mountain out of a molehill. Makes fake/cheap drama from the bullying those fickle/ pampered/ arrogant and evil secondary characters do during the whole of this light novel. It is one thing that characters are stubborn and unable to good, it is another that the author creates all of these one dimensional, evil characters, the in the same box-cutter personality.
Stewart was also the person that enslaved and trained, tortured and abused Latifa and yet the author and Rio do not do anything to Stewart. What is the author thinking? Why does the author create such a via crucis (path of great suffering) for the main character and his retinue? Makes Rio an underachiever-self-loathing-servile-subservient person, but makes all the antagonists arrogant, fickle, evil, intolerant, vengeful.
The light novel is a hell on another alternate world. All the humans are depraved, corrupt and evil. The victims are weak, untalented, trouble-magnets and ungrateful. The beasts are the spirit folk that are actually kind, honest, good and generous. This cliché filled group of characters make up the biggest contradiction of this light novel, this dystopia is terrible and the author created it, and is unwilling to change it towards something good and ethical. There is no point to this Light Novel, it was supposed to be a revenge main plot theme. But Rio cannot kill the murderer/abuser/assaulter of his mother's murder/rape/etc. Rio supposedly works hard every day to get stronger, but the author makes Rio, a pushover, afraid of bullies and nobles, of what these evil people will say and do, then what is the point of making revenge the center of this story, if the main character is going to kowtow, apologize (all of the time and to everyone) to all of the people that want him dead and want his retinue harmed? It makes it hard to read and I feel bad that I downloaded all of the series before really knowing how bad (nonsensical, illogical, evil dystopia) it was.

Excellent
Yet again, all I can really say is another excellent addition to the series, with the main character growing as a person more. Hopefully though, a lesson he learned here, won’t be not to play with your enemies.

Loved it
There’s no way of describing this book other than some simple phrases such as great work. I would’ve preferred if Rio used illusion magic basically wind and light to reveal himself to Lucius and then proceed to torment him. 😩

It kind of went down once he started "building" his harem. For me, this series ended at Vol 4. I had nothing else to read so I made it through vol 5&6 but I could not make it past vol 7.

Royalty Etiquette Guide for Dummies.
The story continues now focusing in a new area and introducing and re-introducing new characters. The bad guys made their big appearance in this volume, although the fights are quite boring and with anti-climatic endings. The first half of the books looks more like a “Royalty Etiquette Guide” bordering in some cases as nonsense. Actually, if you’re looking for inspiration and ideas on how dialogues between nobles and royalty should flow, this volume is an excellent pick. The story is not bad, although it took 7 volumes to start picking up. At least in this volume the “Flinstones House” didn’t appear.

Fantastic
This series just keeps getting better. Great story telling with very little of the disgusting explanations that are so rampant in other light novel series.

The translation of this one annoyed me a lot. The translator used a lot of "meanwhile [...]" at every section. Please alternate it a bit... The story was okish.
