For a light novel written by a Korean, it is selling pretty well (don't have the exact data, but it is getting reprints, which is a good sign, and also news from the publishing industry is positive). Furthermore, the designation as "harmful to youth" by the Korea Media Rating Board seems to have sparked further interest. The best sign is that THERE ARE NOT TEXT FILES VERSIONS CIRCULATING THE WEB. Regularly you see such files going around for so-so titles or bad translations (Toaru was damaged severely by bad translating), but you seen none for this novel.

Anyway, it seems the author learned from his mistakes from the first book and thus wrote volume 2 to be more appealing to the general population (reducing DC-centric jokes, for example). It also tells the history behind the MC and his sisters, and why they are the way they are. It's getting lots of good reviews from bloggers, so I think we'll be seeing a great story forming.
