Ain't no way. Please tell me at least a sneak peak of one of a massive shennanigans that happen in the future volumes

Mushrooms, horses, cakes and breads

The manga tried, but the LN's version of scene just goes way too hard, it's hard to measure up. It's one of my favorite scenes in the series

Yeah. The prose in the novels implied much more gravitas than what the manga showed off.

This is actually something I've had gripes with Morino Mizu's art for a while now. I do like her(?) artstyle, and she does do well in cutesy and comedic scenes. But she seems to have some difficulty depicting intensity in her art. For example, action scenes really isn't her forte (and man, there are gonna be a lot of action setpieces down the line from this point onwards). I know the novels always make it a point to say that Bel has a harmless empty airheaded look on her face and eyes most of the time, but that was supposed to be a moment where she suddenly displayed such imposing royal pride and presence that even the thugs were caught off guard and froze up for a second.

I'm really not looking forward to the fight scenes. They're so painfully average since its clear the author has no real martial art experience and is winging it using standard LN tropes

Average is fine. This isn't a fighting series in the first place. Fights in the novels boil down to
1. X (More often than not Dion) and Y clash.
2. Some trite exposition about how X and Y are mostly evenly matched while only doing the most basic of fight commentary or choreography
3. X or Y yeets themselves out of the fight because reasons

But the advantage of manga being a visual medium is that they can elevate even the most basic of fight scenarios with good framing, panelling and intensity. And depiction of movement or intensity isn't really a field that Morino Mizu seems to excel in. Most of the aforementioned action setpieces later in the novels aren't even person verson person swordplay. They're horses. Man, is there a lot of horse action in the series.

Spoiler

This is honestly why I'm a tad bit pessimistic about potential later anime seasons or even the manga lasting beyond the Lodestar girl arc. Drawing horses is a pain in the ass, and animating them is an even worse nightmare. With how horse-centric a lot of events later in the series are, anyone making potential adaptations of it are probably already sweating buckets at the prospect of getting to those parts.

Spoiler: Finally

we are in volume 3. And we haven't even introduced best girl yet 😭. It will be another few years.

I may just wait another 20-30 chapters before reading again, just so I can not finish every chapter like

Drat I've caught up on the misadventures of the idiot princess. Loved the series, thanks for translating.

Although I still read Tearmoon Empire as Tea Room Empire every time. Ruins the imagery when you visualise a chain of cafes.
