Saijaku Muhai no Bahamut

This is so much fun to read and the fights are AMAZING the characters in this are spectacular 10 out of 10 for sure I have read 7 volumes so far and its definetely worth reading so about the MC he is badass and overpowered but controlled to the point where when he shows overwhelming strength you will be left speechless and when there is an opponent that stacks up to him he will win while giving a spectacular to read so the girls in this are very cute you will definetrely have a hard time choosing which one to ship but your choice will probably settle around volume 3 - 5 for this one I recommend watching the anime and then going into the light novel because you will be able to imagine the battle and the MC's battle style will be carved into your mind so you can imagine even further how the battle scenes are while reading and watching the illustrations so thats about it for my opinion

Undefeated Bahamut Chronicle is a light novel I would highly recommend. With 20 volumes, the series is officially done. Slight spoilers ahead.

Story:

At first it seems like the generic mecha/school/harem type, with an overpowered MC. However the story progresses on by introducing complex antagonists which creates a deeper plot. The political drama is the main force of the plot, with the obvious relationships also driving home the story. The ideals presented by both sides are complex enough to engage the reader, so its not just as simple as good guy vs bad guy, even though it may seem so at first. The plot also spices things up with the usual betrayal and "not telling the whole story" thing that these LN's do. The fights are also engaging, especially when he goes against the girls later on in the series.

Characters:

All the girls are great in my opinion with even the female side character getting spotlights to shine. The main girls all seem to be the generic types: the sister (BroCon), the airhead, the tsundere, kuudere etc. But the push past these types and their growth and backstories is really good. Some heroines get more time with MC, however I can say that the ending is satisfactory. As stated before the antagonists aren't boring and and kept me hooked.

Art:

Character design is generic, with the mecha's also being pretty generic. There are some interesting character design however most of the characters are the usual design you get. The art was great until they changed illustrators and especially the last volume the art was pretty average.

Should I read this?:

If you have the time you should definitely read this to the end, as the progression of the story is something that amazed me.

One advice to anyone who wants to start this series: start from Volume 1, doesn't matter if you watched the anime, it's better if you read the novel from the begining so you don't lose the insane amount of foreshadowing this series has. And please do me a favour and don't drop this novel unless you've read Volume 3, why you ask? Well, it's because Saijaku Muhai no Bahamut is the perfect definition of the "it gets better" mantra.

The first 2 volumes are very generic, with Lux being extremely overpowered and unrivaled. But then, the third volume shows a deeper plot, the characters start showing their true nature beyond that generic outside cover, and the battles go up a notch.

It is, however, the events between volumes 6 and 14 that truly show why I rate this series as a 10. Much more complex and compelling antagonists such as Singlen appear, Lux is constantly thrown against the ropes due to the new levels of threat he's fighting against, the girls are developed as individuals while their relationship with Lux moves forward, all the while the interesting mystery of the world's nature exists on the background.

And then volume 15 manages to top everything before it, giving us one of the most amazing battles I've ever seen on a light novel, explaining us who the main antagonist Fugil is, and setting a way darker tone that lets the political drama aspect the series had been scratching up to that point fully shine, with all the next volumes following from everything promised in here.

So despite starting as an apparently generic and unremarkable novel, the true nature of this series is amazing political drama with epic battle scenes and antagonists that totally steal the show and your heart, all while giving us a harem with actually developing romantic bonds not only from the girls' side, but from Lux's as well. Edit: And to tell you about who ends with, the answer is True Harem Ending, he marries all.

So I invite you to enjoy this beautiful, fully translated light novel about the story of the birth of a true hero.
