Shouldn't that be The Chivalry of the Failed Knight? Engrish titles are just annoying when it's single grammatical error like that.

Yay, three announcements for LN adaptations in one day, albeit this one was already announced, there was news of its development here. Totally not disappointed in these production companies at all! Rejoice, LN lovers.

I don't know if the author/illustrator or the publishing company thinks that the audience has a short memory, but featuring the main girl, Stella Vermillion on the covers of 6 LNs of the 7 published so far is a bit much (the MC appears in #5's, and the MC's little sister, Kurogane Shizuku, appears only on #4's).

Also, poor Ishigami Shizuka; her recent roles are for anime adaptations of ecchi, "you've seen it before"-type of shows (Syr Flover in Dungeon ni Deai wo Motomeru no wa Machigatteiru Darō ka?, Ellis Fahrengart in Seirei Tsukai no Blade Dance, Kajō Ayame in Shimoneta to Iu Gainen ga Sonzai Shinai Taikutsu na Sekai, and Mito Ikumi in Shokugeki no Sōma). Her only "out-of-the-norm" character was Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso's Kashiwagi Nao. Geez, talk about type-casting.

Also, Ōsaka Ryōta as the lead MC, Kurogane Ikki, might work; I liked his work as Gokukoku no Brynhildr's lead, Murakami Ryōta.

I'm somewhat looking forward to this because I like the main girl and her relationship with the MC not expecting anything good or great I'm hoping for this to be at least decent, just as a time waster.

If they were exacly the same, they would have the same creators, cast, story line, text, and title. In addition, copyright infringement would be likely pursued.

While I get that many LN stories will share similarities, to call them the exact same is an exaggeration.

Technically, one was already announced, more details were just added.

Actually all those anime you listed have different stories, they just share the same genre. I am also glad that the main heroine is finally a twintail heroine. It has been a long time where the main heroine that has twintails is being romanced by the protag.

You know, I'm genuinely curious how this fantasy harem LN adaptation is different from the "Undefeated Bahamut Chronicle" and "Hundred" fantasy harem LN adaptations. They all kind of feel the same to me. Aren't people going to get tired of this stuff if it keeps over-saturating the market like this?

One is a girl school with one boy and the other is coed. They also have a different story.

Story is different, yes, but all the sh*tload of LN clichés they share together isn't even funny. Fundamentally they are I would say 70% similar.
