I don't know how to get this added to the title page but this is the novelupdates link if anyone wants to read the novel version:

I decided to check out the novel to see how it starts off and it is a bit different in terms of how it presents Kenta. This chapter covers chapter 1 and half of chapter 2. The dream sequence showing his summoning, fight with demon king, and betrayal by the kingdom is not present in novel or at least not within the first few chapters.
Novel starts off with people yelling outside Kenta's house and him grumbling about having to deal with them. Kenta describes Princess Victoria as wearing a filly lace-adorned armor whereas the manga has her in a frilly dress. This totally changes her impression for me. Armor says that she is actively part of battle as a commander of some sort, dress says to me that she stays far away from any conflict. Kenta also comes off as much less obsessed with his wife in the first few novel chapters and quickly backs down from the idea that he actually hates everyone.
The impression I have from the novel is that Kenta is a reclusive guy that loves his wife, is annoyed by the people showing up at his doorstep, and mainly just hates nobles since they are the ones that betrayed him. Manga Kenta comes off as a paranoid guy that's obsessed with his wife and actually hates everyone else in the world.
