It’s only half

The novel was originally released in the early 2000’s and it’s a great series but unfortunately the people who bought the rights then only published 4 of the 7 novels due to the anime only covering the first four novels…. Now years later sevenseas picked it up and to make more profit they decided to split the novels up into vol. so yeah in the 1 part it’s all bad stuff happening to her and there is no solution cause it’s literally half the novel maybe even a third of the original novel. The anime is still available on crunchy roll and it has a dub if you are interested just be advised that they added two completely unnecessary characters so if you ignore them it’s actually a pretty good adaptation and a great story obviously the novels are better but since only part one is out… you can at least see where it’s going to see if you want to continue with the series.
