Trivia

 * Several characters' names are spelled differently than in previous volumes they appeared in:
 * Balse as "Barus"
 * Aroyce as "Arios"
 * Kartos as "Cartos"
 * Yoshiki Saitou and Shinji Nakano's Jobs as "Aeromancer" and "Pyromancer" respectively were swapped.
 * In the Web Novel, Hearst's role of accompanying Freid to meet with Hajime at the Schnee Snow Fields had originally been given to Ahat. This was changed in the Light Novel due to Ahat having been killed by Miledi Reisen in Volume 4 of the "Zero" series.
 * The battle against Alva is longer in the Light Novel. In the Web Novel, after Ehit teleports away in Yue's body, Hajime immediately activates his deny-existing chains Artifact.
 * Ehit being responsible for turning the western region of Tortus into the Gruen Desert was first revealed in the Blu-ray Short Story, and was not mentioned in the Web Novel.
 * Hajime revealing to Kaori in the Great Orcus Labyrinth that he had acquired the Skills "Image Composition" and "Transcendence" does not occur in the Web Novel.
 * Hajime originally wanted to name his Hour Crystal Artifact "The Hyperbolic Time Chamber". This is the name of a location from the  series that has a similar function.
 * In the Web Novel, when Hajime is creating the weapons to fight Ehit in Oscar Orcus' worship, he has Myu and Remia remote control the golems he made so that they can teleport them to his allies.
 * Myu making friends with both Devourer and Lehman is first revealed in the Japanese-exclusive "Afterword of Afterword" short stories of Volumes 5 & 6 respectively.
 * Furthermore, in the Web Novel, Hajime doesn't learn about Myu and Remia's relationship with Lehman until much later when they and the rest of his family visit Tortus during their winter holiday.
 * The Web Novel also includes a fake chapter in which Hajime is able to rescue Yue from Ehit's control and save the day.
