The Devil is a Part-Timer! volume 17 can be summed up as this: lizard babysitting...with one good chapter fighting an astronaut.

TheOASG reviews The Devil is a Part-Timer! Volume 16, which is starting to put the puzzle pieces with Emi, Maou and the cast together.
The Devil is a Part-Timer! Volume 21 Review
On top of narrative issues, The Devil is a Part-Timer's final volume also has a divisive ending that leaves the series original charm behind.

Volume 16 of The Devil is a Part-Timer! has Maou take on Valentine's Day, but also has Chiho's role in the light novel series in question.

The last chapter makes The Devil is a Part-Timer! Volume 19 a recommend read, if only tepidly since 80% of it is dominated by Chiho.
