Youre absolutely right on the dot. Each girl basically gets a whole light novel volume to themself with a bit of Hinako + other girls sprinkled into it. It starts with Hinako in V1, Mirei in V2, Narika in V3 (you were indeed correct), Yuri (commoner childhood friend) in V4. Afterwards it focuses more on Itsuki’s hardships in the school and his rise to vice president of the student council, also getting Asahi (the one female friend thats seemingly has no romantic feelings for him) in like V8 iirc. Every Volume after the first 4-5 start leaning into drama very heavily and Hinako is still emphasised as the main girl in all the side moments between them.

God this makes me want to drop the series

Quick note that, after all that, nine LN volumes later, he still refuses to give her a yes-or-no answer to becoming her fiance. Sigh.

So as far as you got do you think it'll be worth it? or its just falls down?
Honestly its not a really appealing arc right now, considering is a monthly release.

It’s obviously personal preference.

Spoiler: If i’m going to be honest:

all arcs will probably be as drawn out unless the manga cuts things shorter because the light novel is genuinely so far ahead (we are on vol 2 of LN in manga out of 11).

All arcs genuinely show Itsukis growth from commoner to someone many in the privileged achool genuinely respect, plus a lot of romantic and comedy moments, so personally ill stick through with everything because i genuinely liked the light novel (though Itsuki’s utter density is always annoying). I also actually liked the drama, of course some was unnecessary and some caused by misunderstandings, but the ones that actually challenge itsuki and force him to face titans in the school (former council president, son of a political figure, brother of asahi who supports another student council president candidate etc.) while working together with the girls, shizune and his own cultivated skills are genuinely fun and tense to read. Especially because they put him in legitimately difficult positions that youd think hed never escape from.

Its somewhat political with a lot of underhanded manipulation though, so if that isnt your cup of tea then it isn’t unnatural to drop it. But imho the light novel was really good if that counts for anything. The author also never forgets to add romance in every chapter in some way or another

Author sama, you can't do this.
