    What do you want to know about the web novel? From what I've heard, it's completed, it takes a different route than the light novel, and no one currently plans to translate it.

    Seeing as how this thread was brought back, I might as well post this here. The author is extremely fond of putting little callbacks/in-jokes within the same volume, such as Barbatos and Dantalian making fun of "Know Thyself", which was later revealed to be Marbas' maxim. The three steps of buddhism is another obvious one from the same scene. But here's a subtle one that I only caught upon re-reading Volume 5.

    Remember how Princess Elizabeth realized the existence of her Empire, and how its society functioned, based on the mere act of a servant replacing candles every night?

    “Since the candles were replaced every day, it is clear that there was someone who made those candles every day. Since there was a person who made a living by solely making candles every day, it is also indisputable that there was another person who cultivated, harvested, and handed that candlemaker their food.”


    I was not aware that those subjects, those jobs were a major part of the crown land. I have never seen the artisan who made a living by making candles. I have never seen the farmers and I have never seen the blacksmiths who made those farmers their farming equipment. However, as the candle was replaced right before my eyes and shining brightly⎯⎯⎯similar to how the burning candlelight was clear and certain, the subjects that I couldn’t see with my eyes were also clear and certain.


    Well, despite never hearing her talk about this, Dantalian uses a fairly similar metaphor near the end of the volume


    “Your Excellency, I beg for your understanding.”

    Understanding.

    The act of looking deeply into a candlelight.

    By simply looking only at the light burning in a lamp, looking past the things which can and cannot be seen and feeling them out.

    Fathoming the connection between light and light.

    Similar to how I had connected smoke with smoke all the way to the other side of the Black Mountains, the ones who were capable of pulling this off were monarchs, and they could only be monarchs by managing this.



    So by Dantalian's criteria, Princess Elizabeth already possessed "Understanding", a primary quality of a monarch, even as a young and naive child. A nice little touch.

    I got really excited for a moment, thinking that this was a next volume (Volume 6) release thread and well.
    I'm disappointed.
    I'm sad now.

    He's going to indirectly destroy (through Barbatos and Paimon) the traitor demon lords that are hiding in the back including some of the strongest ones. I thought that was made very clear.

    The series is running out of women to put on the front cover. Who's next, Ivar?

    Some of the rape is a backstory. Like a girl abused by her father. The other rape is the main character being forced into sex with some crazy loli demon lord. Its not really rape as much as a means to an ends. Its not that bad.

    Plenty of death, mean people, plots & schemes. Occasional sex(nothing insanely graphic like an ero novel). Rape is pretty rare, and as far as i remember, its only been the MC getting raped(i use the term loosely, he isnt really putting up much resistance, not that he could). No NTR. One of the heroines was abused when she was younger. The succubus heroine probably was abused, but its never been stated as fact. None of the rape/abuse really matters. What exactly do you want out of this novel?

    Rape is any time that you got no choice in the matter, so technically mc, and the witches are constantly present examples, Princess was almost raped by her brother....
