Precisely. The brutal large-scale war and gore just doesn't fit since none of the mains are supposed to die =_= Also they treat regular soldiers like random NPCs or something. Some series pull it off well, but Vanadis can't, especially not with that choice of art-style, I mean seriously is it war with treacherous tactics and cruel leaders or medieval harem life with OP bishoujo? Pick one. Not to say I don't like reading it but my problems with it rise very high. Also the fact that the implementation of the harem element enrages me. I wonder how well the anime will pull it off. I suspect boin physics and fluttering skirts. All in all, it tries to be serious when it is not. The reasons for his accidental perv actions are sometimes due to his battle training. Yeah.... sure.... battle instinct totally means groping.... *rolls eyes*

Sorry I'm just venting. I'm not having a vendetta against it or anything. I just wish the system that LN novels are mostly harem or sub-harem will change and we get more serious and believable stuff.
