This is my second novel of Yomu Mishima so I describe an author style a bit as his stories have the same general properties. He is good and bad.
Author is very good with his ideas to write a story. Despite of using sometimes standard and boring tricks that we can meet in another authors his stories are quite surpising dynamic and interesting. And I can find quite original way of creating WN with its events and characters. One could say that "7s" is much better and complicated story then Overlord or SAO but...
Writer is very poor or lazy craftsman. His stories are lacking detailed descriptions of events and characters. Scenes of his novels are missing proper transitions. Dialogs are very often replaced by narrator. A lots of scenes important for better mood of a story are missing. Romantic events and battles are at most warm.
What I like in "Sevens" is that it is described in two plains. First one is story about Lyle who is gradually becoming stronger and who is collecting his harem-like allies. Second plain is a story about Walt House generations mixed with main story by using dialogs with Lyle ancestors and retrospections generated by a Jevel memory being Lyles heirloom. As I hate retrospections in general I love them in "Sevens". And as a reader I can feel safe as all tragic events are placed in a past.
Events of WN are interesting enough to make me stay with them longer and longer. I still wanted to know how ancestors will change Lyle character and how they will help to solve his problems. As I mentioned Lyle is changing and evolving in a story. He is a different person at the beginning and different at the and. And his goals change as well. Some reviewer said that harem here is one of the most realistic. I would say again : yes and no. It is quite well described why a harem must be created and it is created by proper managements of first Lyle female friend. In general women characters are realistic and some of them join by realistic reasons. Maybe not strong but main romantic plot continues almost to the end of a story. But for a very long time I was vexed by very cheap and boring way of bonding Lyle with women. Too many of girls started to love and follow him after "proper confession". As I said : boooring and impossible to meet in a real life. This story would be much more popular if writer write it better way. World gives a feeling of RPG despite authors statements that it is fantasy. With very general way of describing events I continuously had a feeling that something is missing. Still I like "Sevens" and recommend to read it.
This novel start off realllly slowly, with the MC initially, being a god damn pu*sy that needs a bath everyday, even though he just got kicked out of his noble house.
However the plot escalates deeper and deeper, with his sister reveal as a monster and charming everyone around her, including the whole country. In short, the MC decided to man up and decided to put a stop to his sister/monster madness.
The best part is when the MC experience a post-leveled up "high" stage, where his personality changes to a c*cky, confident person, uttering some flirty pickup lines (lol) during his "high" period.
The harem can be alittle too much for some people (>15 wives), u can probably assume every new girl he met will be his wife eventually. Yet some of his girls can be quite cunning and even dangerous to some extend, in fact the wife factions infighting lead to some interesting plot.
The ancestors backstory, is actually quite interesting and touching. Every and each ancestors experience their own unique hardships and taking their own drastic ways to further or solidify their family power.
The story was good, but nothing special. Characters were great, their development and relationships were quite a blast to go trough, but holy sh*t there were a lot of them at times. The forced harem plot was also something you don't see often, at least not in this capacity. Really, there are a lot of good points in here, but there are a couple of things that kinda ruin the fun. Ambiguity for one. There are a f*ckton of things that are left ambiguous or just left for interpretation. If it was for some plot irrelevant things or worldbuilding than I thing it's fine, even an unclear ending I can take every once in a while, but this... I don't know, maybe a first for me, or more likely first so blatantly obviously infuriating. Imagine the MC gets some critical info on one of the big "secrets of the world" that is plot relevant, and then... nothing. In a few, or a dozen chapters you may get the acknowledgement that MC did talk about to some or all party members about this, and it may reveal some thoughts about it, but then it might not reveal basically anything and be left to 50-100 ch later when there is more info, and then they maybe reference that they discussed it at that point, and nothing else. Or it might just imply that something or other happened and then leave it at that. When this kind of stuff happens time and time again, when you don't even get which character knows what info, when a thing that happened ages ago only gets referenced way down the line and somehow becomes plot relevant, but still is not explained... I don't know, this kind of sh*t infuriates me. When the conclusion is left for interpretation it's fine a lot of the time, but when the process is left like that, it feels like it defeats the purpose of telling a story at all. And the other thing is realism. For a lot of things it relies on being realistic, about the world, about the relationships, and all kinds of other stuff. Heck, you could get even some life advice from parts of this. But for some reason it just lets some bullsh*t in, like to confuse you, or that you wouldn't take things seriously for some reason... And then there is comedy, and it becomes a mess. I mean I get it, you need to sprinkle in some comic relief or this will look so dark and grim that it would become edgy, but holy sh*t does that kill the impact in some places. The ending was especially so, all that build up and the fight and all that, it somehow becomes a joke in the middle of it, and for some reason at the end, it starts to build up again for some reason... Like what the hell is this pacing? And throwing out the realism in some places and then somehow remembering it in the middle of action, what is this, a cartoon? I don't know, some of this sh*t could really have been done more tastefully ffs... Yeah, but even after all that stuff, I did still binge this for some reason, going to sleep only at 4am sometimes just because it was so engaging. It's still a good novel, and id recommend it fully, but you really have to bear trough some wtf moments from time to time. PS.
You thing the MC is useless piece of garbage? Yeah f*ck you, you're gonna get the reason why only at the latter half of the story, sucks to be you.
