@redgun14 so-so, there is progress, might just feel like it. But so far it feels comfortable.
It's only 5 chapters, too. If this keeps being interesting but also progresses, it's really gonna be a gem. There could be far more behind it and/or some world building.
Personally I really like the op protagonist and still adding a 'growing strong' or 'growing up' with the princess.
The waiting feels painful, but I'm happy it seems weekly and no 1.1, 1.2 chapters.
