The shortest korean/chinese/japanese novel I've read until today. Don't be deceived by the "67" chapters mentioned... It's pretty much 9 chapters chopped up to 67 chapter parts... The "volume" mentioned here on novelupdates should be replaced by chapter. If you look at the chapters, the translator, or perhaps the author started it, has separated every sentence into a new row with a few spaces in between, so each chapter is no more than a paragraph or two (there's a little bit more text towards the last 2-3 chapters), even if... more>> it's spaced out so much that it looks like several pages. I mean, I'm not a really fast reader, but I spent just a few hours to read through all of it and I think a good bit of that was spent scrolling.

Read this if you can't find anything good to read currently and just wants to spend a few hours killing some time before going for another long novel. There's really nothing new at all here, no story (and I didn't really expect any) and every joke has been done a lot of times in other novels/anime/manga, so if you've read or watched a lot, you wouldn't be able to easily laugh at the stale jokes. Completely nonsensical with no thought at all put into the gags or developments.

Reminds me of 4koma style gag manga but with no good/refreshing jokes, it's hardly worth reading for me. I would've given it a 2/5 if it was any longer, but for something that you just read to kill a few hours of time without caring about the characters, when you don't want to start a novel that takes days and weeks to read, this is a good choice for some light reading and a smile or two, so I feel it's worth a 3 just for the fact that it's a novelty to find a novel that you don't need to spend so much time at reading. If you haven't delved that deep into japanese manga/anime/novels, you might even be quite amused by this novel and it'd shoot up to a 4, although short, it's not really bad if you haven't seen the jokes so many times before after all, even I smiled now and then. It's pretty much a japanese novel written by a korean author who has *stolen* a lot of well-used japanese gags/jokes that tends to be funny the first time or times you hear/see them. Japanese references all over the place. The last side story was pretty amusing, though, my favorite part. <<less

At this point, the interactions between the characters and 4th wall breaks have... eh.. Everything is screwed up :) Recommend giving this a try, it's hilarious. Just remember; don't expect anything serious when the novel treats even it's own existence as a joke. xD

If you read the description of the book, you know what to expect. Nonsense slapstick humor. For the genre, it did a good job. The whole point was to mock tropes and stereotypes. Well done indeed.

Started good, turned bad. Simple.

When you start reading it's good because you have a somewhat good character development, later on... it's not so good.

Characters start coming one after another just because they can. We're introduced a lot of unnecessary characters like the aunt, grandfather, great grandfather, sons, nephews, uncles and brothers of a God that the author makes seem relevant—which clearly aren't.

Some stuff may seem funny for some people but... meh.

I'm not even sure what I just read... Parts of it were hilarious. The beginning looked promising, but then the whole series just derailed into non-sense... The whole series was really short (I was seriously surprised at how short it was considering it has v9) and nothing really happened. ... more>>

Spoiler

The whole story was suppose to be about the relationship between the demon king (overworked office worker that ran away) and hero (typical can't do anything but swing a sword, abusive heroine), but it was essentially they meet, spend time together, non-sense, roll credits, and then finally a weird epilogue. It was suppose to be a sweet slice of life, but it got high and went for a magic carpet ride. If you told me the author was high, or sick I would believe it completely.

It was short but hilariously short. Hahaha it was refreshing really like the new aproach of the author when it comes to hero and demon cliche setting. Love it hope you write another story thank you. And also thank you for translating this. Long live!
