@TheSDragon yeah don't worry, at this point I've lowered my standards to assume that all manga/light novels are written by 14 to 17-year-old aspiring artists. Basically easier if I pretend someone like Kirino from oreimo is making this stuff up on their phone. Then I'm pleasantly surprised when a story is well-written.
Though of course this story sometimes still rates moderately on the IQ scale used for Chinese novels/mangas.
