Reception
Yen Press' English edition of the first volume of the light novel received a positive review from Anime News Network of an overall rating of 'B+', with a 'B+' for Kawahara's story and a 'B' for Shimeji's art. It was praised for its "believable characters" and the thought that "switching between the hero and villain's point of view really works." However, it was said that Shimeji's illustrations can make Takaesu (the antagonist of the first volume) "more wolf-like than shark-like in some images"
