The author has a fault in that he makes his main character Rio (Haruto) catch and release all of his enemies (stewart, alphonse, riess, lucius, slavers, adventurers, etc.) the more enemies RIo lets go, the harder his future is going to be. It is illogical to forgive all those that seek to destroy and harm you. I do not know if it is laziness or a hypocritical favoring keeping appearances and not having any real ethical values (as essence).
Leaving bad people behind isn't favoring life, its creating a recurrent and infinite problem to the rest of the victims in this hell of a dystopia created voluntarily by this author.
The best thing that could happen to the Beltrum empire would be total annihilation. To protect and safeguard the evil people of this world is to guarantee that this world stay the same.
I do not have any positive comments about this volume 12.

Good story with poor action.

In overall this is another good volume in this serie. As usual, the dialogues and story looks more like a medieval manner’s manual. Most of the time this polite and courteous dialogues are nice and fitting with the scenes, but unfortunately it ruins the only big action scene, where the protagonists and antagonists keep talking about their powers and how they are using it against each other. Some other scenes are just too strange for the setting, like using “environmental friendly soap”, building tables, kitchen and chairs for a picnic lunch, renting a kitchen in an Inn, etc. Overall, a nice story with a good plot but poor action scenes.

Great

Another enjoyable and very well written volume that was a pleasure to read. The main character continues to show how strong he is, and his enemies still plot and plan. My only issue is the group he is with seem not to understand the difference between a battle and a spar. Some of the higher level enemies they fought were left alive, and you really shouldn’t leave an enemy alive just to come back and attack you later.

The story continues and a, to me at least, very slow pace. It's still interesting, but there's not too much going on in this book. Let's hope that this filler was a prelude to something more interesting in the next book.

Although short, a lot of plot points had been expanded upon in a manner that was truly well done

Kitayama was able to string together plot points from the past eloquently to the current situation in a creative way that made this volume a page turner.
