she might have a similar char design like lark but she isnt lark also there is a 4 year timeskip later onwards which is quite nice because the story felt a little slow but it was nice i give the web novel for now a solid 8/10 because it wasnt boring though i am pretty disappointed that he couldnt still meet lark, YES the only time he was with lark was beginning of manga and she saved his ass when he fell unconsciouse and then she vanished so only 2 occurences which were like 1 ch long which is probably really short since there are around 81ish chapters in the light novel i hope he does meet lark though
