“Buiden,” which originated as a web novel and was released as an original light novel by Fantasia Bunko, was reprinted immediately after the first volume was released in May 2021 and was also featured in the Light Novel News Online Award May 2021 issue. It became a hot topic, winning four awards: the overall category, funny category, new work overall category, and new work category.
