It's alright.
Would not recommend
Tons of cliche with minimal effort to expand or provide depth to the plot or characters. They got maybe 1 layer under the surface.

Chp 4: Female knight (light short hair) brainwashed & releasee.
(Then cloned and turned into assistant)
Chp 8: Old man -> Young woman
Chp 9: Princess -> Dragon
Chp 12: New female knight (dark hair short hair) possessed
Chp 14: Cleric & ????

I mean, yeah demons are evil but mag feeeeeeeels
