Plot Summary: Even in his past life, Cid’s dream wasn’t to become a protagonist or a final boss. He’d rather lie low as a minor character until it’s prime time to reveal he’s a mastermind or at least, do the next best thing-pretend to be one. And now that he’s been reborn into another world, he’s ready to set the perfect conditions to live out his dreams to the fullest. Armed with his overactive imagination, Cid jokingly recruits members to his organization and makes up a whole backstory about an evil cult that they need to take down. Well, as luck would have it, these imaginary adversaries turn out to be the real deal-and everyone knows the truth but him.

Depending on how far they get into the adaptation, They still haven’t cast Rose Oriana, who plays big parts in Volume 2, is in Volume 3, and plays a big part in volume 4. They also haven’t cast Yukime who plays a big role in volume 3

I have noticed that sometimes they don’t announce characters until the week before the episode they appear in airs (or the same week if they appear in the after credits)
