I have read books 1 to 4 so far (I intend to read and then watch the lectures gradually as I read), and I'd use the word delight to describe the experience, its immersive and you don't feel like stoping reading it, I am reading the same English translation as you, and one feels that it is easy to follow, however, one also has a sense that this is what good English should look like.
