It went BL, alot despite the author saying "wont happen again", I swear he likes toying with us
The MC is s*upid, all I can say, S T U P I D, sure he likes acting badass but he got tortured/controlled/had everyone he came to care about die/have everyone he was gonna protect die. Yet he still chose to be naive as hell while his harem members are actually the only reason he isnt dead yet, still dont get why the angel fell in love
Everything above would have still gotten this 3 stars atleast considering the writing is awesome and the story is unique just that
he gets honeytrapped into working for the god damn church and betray the demons who f**king helped him so much. Literally honetrapped, hes like "oh lets just forget the torture and stuff they put me through since this girl let me go and seems nice so ill be on her side" and oh the harem members separate cause of the sadistic author implying they are MIA, I like reality but. This is just the world going out of its way or rather the MC going out of his way to get f**ked
borderline yaoi & tentacle r*pe on little boys.
- Yandere Harem - haha, this just needs to be here since I rarely think having this in the story can keep me entertained. Also because his harem are cruel and manipulative who won't hesitate to do things out their morality, it kinda balances the MC being too idealistic at times.
- The Battle tension - the battles here were made to say that the enemies aren't going down just because the MC managed to outsmart or bring out countermeasures against them, they can also think of proper strategies despite not having a propped up intelligent character among them. Also because the main cast may be powerful but enemies are pretty much equal or stronger than them at times.
- World building - the setting in the story was thoroughly explored with the lore, situation and power system in the world leaving me to question very little about it.
What threw me off:- The MC is gets careless at times when it is not a major battle which is pretty annoying considering how many battles he had fought in
Spoiler

- Only a few battles had gotten me tense because of what the author said in one of the chapters
Spoiler
[collapse]
- There are times when things are just way too drawn out, sure there are instances where an ample amount of chapters are needed to properly tell of the circumstances but some times I feel lengthening the arc is just unnecessary
Spoiler

- I would have seriously wished there was a better way for the MC to have gained power

I could probably point out more good and bad things I found about this series but these are what struck me the most.the serious offenses here was when he got his arm reduced to a bloody mass since he couldn't control his striking power and underestimated his target, and the time he caused an avalanche since he wanted to fire off a flashy attack despite knowing they are in a goddamn snowy mountain
So basically he said that he won't try any NTR or death of heroine situations, I'm happy that he mentioned the former but the latter is just s*upid when there are arcs when the main consequence of failing the death of a heroine, that just made all the tense atmosphere you made in the arc worthless by mentioning that
For example, that time when all 3 of the main cast was subjected to some kind of hypnosis magic that lets them dream about their ideal world and it took several chapters for the MC to break free from it in which most of those chapters only explained their ideal world
He basically gained an upgrade only because a God suddenly appeared out of nowhere to test him, and what's worse is that it was even called with a cheesy name of "The Power of Protection" despite it never having to do anything about protection and more about the seven deadly sins really
the “Game of Thrones” atmosphere. Everyone can die, and usually they will. Right now I cannot say if the author is going to abuse this trope as a tool to “change scenary” without dealing with the aftermath of the previous arc or it will be used prudently and only if truly needed.. This we will see in the future.
Yes! It’s rare for novels to show realistic tragedy and suffering, many just gloss over it or someone overpowered conveniently comes in just in time to save the day. In this novel the “villains” don’t just wait for the MC to get super strong or make s*upid mistakes that are too unrealistic, the decisions they make match their overall shown personalities.
I feel that the author tries to keep the rawness and dangerous atmosphere of this world. The battle scenes are somewhat interesting, and how the stories develops is somewhat surprising. What I don’t like about the novel (and this is a common occurrence in many Japanese novels) is that the author tries to portray a somewhat strategist feel to MC, but later on portrays him to be extremely dense. I feel that if someone is capable of making critical decisions on the battlefield, then that character should be able to have a semblance of common sense.
I don’t know if the author writes these scenes for the comedic content in between the violence or if he’s just bad in portraying romance, but it reaches a level where I feel that all of the main heroines are starting to act the same. Many of the heroines act a certain a certain type of way when introduced (they have calm, cute, or strong personalities) but when they interact long enough with the MC they all turn manipulative and yandere like (to be clear I appreciate a good yandere), but they basically control almost all of the social circle of the MC and keep making decisions for him behind his back. They surely want to protect him but I don’t think they trust him enough to show him their true selves (While you keep reading you’ll notice that each of the heroines has a kind of “hidden quirk”, to say the least, that they keep hidden from the mc), they only show the parts they want him to see. Honestly some of these romantic scenes make the MC seem beta as hell, It feels like the author forces him to be dense so he can prolong the tension. It reaches a point where the only way for the MC to see that his partners are romantically interested in him is if they straight up say it CLEARLY to his face, because I’m sure that if they just say that they like him and are interested in him he’ll just misunderstand. It’s laughable that when they invite him on dates with very romantic settings he thinks that they just want to be close friends with him.
I really hope this gets better and he stops being so beta. All of this is just my opinion and everyone should at least read a few chapter before making a decision, ignoring the cliched romance it’s not that bad.
Story: 3.5/5 (same)
Writing: 2/5 (formerly 3.5/5) (Updated ch44: Yeah, it devolved quickly into a very confused piece of work. Author very clumsily swaps between perspectives and people. There is no indication as to when the changes happen so it can get a bit frustrating jumping around with no one view point really completed. The translation team seems to be having a hard time making this readable at this point, and honestly I can't blame them, it's the authors fault for using really unstable view points. I was Enjoying it immensely until about chapter 40, then things just started getting messy. I don't mind when things stagnate in a story, I just push through, but when things get messy I just give up. I'm hear to enjoy a story not a puzzle.) Far from the worst thing I've read, but far from the best. The grammar is tolerable, though awkward phrasing and wording is almost guaranteed to be found in each chapter. Not really a problem with the author, but a blip from the translation team. Still, a decent job and nothing the really detracts from the reading experience except for the momentary pause wondering what would be a better way to phrase or word something. As far as the story goes, it's nice, but not anything new or ground breaking thus far. Can't really say anything else on this, seriously. The writing is fairly well done, nothing is dragged through the mud with too much detail, nor is it really explained enough. The descriptive scenes could use some more flavor, but it's understandably difficult to do that with a translated work. Over all I'd rate this at a 3.5/5, with some hope for the future. Once I've read the entire thing I'll probably come back to finish this review.
