It is published on the user-generated content site Shōsetsuka ni Narō (syosetu), which is well known for being the source of many popular series that were later given light novel, manga and anime adaptations.

The web novel began publication on March 3rd, 2013, and is still being updated as of July 2020; though the main story was concluded on March 8th, 2020 with Volume 17, Chapter 54.

It was later adapted into a light novel, which in turn led to two manga adaptations and a one-cour anime.
