In tempted to say this season is better than season 1. But if I do that might sound like a more grandious compliment than I intend, because it's still not great. The main reason I suggest such a thing is because there's a few more things that makes me thing the author was trying to make this story interesting. For example we get backstory on the previous Ring King, and how he wasn't as benevolant as people think. While he started that way, originating as a normal farmer who came upon the first ring by chance, after many years doing battles against evil with his wives he ended up getting jaded, becoming the type of man who just wanted to fight and bone his wives, despite their pain. Also Peridot Romca, who is the one elf who helped the main cast get Haruto's elf wife, Nefritis Romca, out of the elves territory, was the elf wife of that very Ring King, and she's the one who tells his story. This is an interesting idea, although I wish more focus was put on it. Also this seaosn does give slightly more focus to the relationship between Haruto and his wives. We dig slightly deeper into Haruto's mindset and why he hasn't slept with any of his wives yet, not only because he probably wants to, but also because that's required to make him way more powerful. Once again interesting ideas are brought up, about the idea of consent and love vs. duty, but it isn't given enough focus. Like I said when I talked about seaosn 1 I get that the main purpose of this series is to be escapist fantasy, see a boring protagonist, (and yes, he is still pretty boring since none of these new ideas are fully fleshed out), get with a plethora of attractive women and the plot is arguably just set dressing, but at the same time I can't help but be disappointed when the series does bring to light fascinating themes that aren't fully taken advantage of in the narrative, regardless of what the point of hte series is. Despite the arguable marginal improvement from the first seaosn, I would still rather re-watch Highschool DxD or Peter Grill and the Philosopher's Time, or get a 5th seaosn of Highschool DxD. Also the 5th wife that we saw very little of at the end of the last seaosn, Amber Idanokan, is the least interesting and fun of hte wives, in my opinion.
