I'm a librarian who loves anime, manga, and reading a wide variety of genres.
There's an interview with the translator at the end. Here she addresses one of the things about this book that she disliked:
"While the different perspectives from the various characters were somewhat helpful in fleshing everyone out, the repetition really does have a tendency to drive me insane. I would like to see less of that in the future."
Oof, yes. I suspect third-person POV could have cured a lot of this, but for some reason it's rare to find third-person POV Japanese light novels.
Despite its enormous problems, however, I enjoyed this book and will likely buy a credit for the next one rather than wait for the one credit to get added to my account on the 15th. If I continue at this rate, I'll have read through this entire series before I even get that credit. I wish I had a week or two off just for reading.
