Honestly? Just the fact that it didn't overstay its welcome. Also, it's quite refreshing to see all those heaven-defying feats of the Campiones to be acknowledged by the story and having a somewhat long-lasting consequences for tourism. There's also this sense of exhilaration when you see major mystical beings be felled down through tactics or just outright overwhelming power, the kind you want to see from Type-Moonshit back when they weren't as meandering as today. Perhaps one of my biggest gripes with the story itself is that it tends to downsize the rewards given to Godou in favor of drama, though it's not the worst I've seen since that shit's quite rampant.
All in all, it's Dendro before it was cool, but with a bunch of fillers and a harem end. Desu, it could use a bit more characterization for the other Campiones and a reduction in the number of off-screen fights.

Nuh-uh, anon, you're wrong. As long as a series is tangentially related to the romance genre, who the MC ends up with is as important as—or even more so than—how it ends. I ask thee anon, what do you think if Red Ai Black Dress were to win in Loliou? or if Ikta ends up with that absolute bitch of an empress in Alderamin? or if Chihiro were to win the Keimabowl in TWGOK? Utter. Chaos.
Jokes aside, yeah, I agree. Nina ends up adding neither value nor growth narratively since she exists to be saved yet again in the end anyway. I olev how Layfon/Felli ends up being a pair of immortal planeswalker though, so that's all that matters.

Yeah, not to mention how the official ones tend to be of at least decent quality and are tailor-made for their demographic. We even got a dice/tray set for a fairly new series like TRPG around two years in, while Spice and Wolf's collector's edition set is one of the most sought-after items of all time, even when taking into account it's disastrous release in Burgerland (although S&W does have an anime, it won't get as far if it has a shit story/fanbase in the first place). Them publishers would honestly do anything short of publishing their own doujin (since it won't be a doujin anymore, duh) if it'd bring them more money.
Subtracting all of that, the only thing left for artists and studios to make would then be doujin, which is more of an appropriation than anything else, knowing that not a cent of that sales money will ever come to the author. I'll give them a pass if they also make wholesome non-erotic stuffs ala Touhou since that equates to passion and love for the IP, but that's just impossible innit?
