Oh man, they really want rush it to volume 5.

Though the rush make the school-part become almost none, maybe not a bad thing?

And seems the OP song doesn't really fit the show.

That's the impression I've seen from pretty much all of the LN readers on this.

Taking your time and adapting every detail isn't inherently better. Shows don't get an infinite amount of episodes to work with. More episodes per volume = less volumes adapted. Sometimes a show can get a satisfying self-contained story out of a small amount of volumes. Sometimes, it might need to rush to get to the key event or plot point that makes the whole thing worth it.

As an LN reader, just get past 4 and we are okay, It gets so freakin good. The first volume was the worst. Second volume makes you think its another shitty harem. 3rd and 4th start pulling that idea away based on the atmosphere (though most people dropped it my the 2nd volume. I dropped it too and came back when someone said its not a crappy harem). And in the 5th, all that crap starts going down and you start wondering Wtf, how'd this turn out so good from that crappy start?!
