>Now that I think about it, what was his name again? There's only been one full volume so far but what I've read so far has been excellent. Written from different perspectives does the job of portraying the battle of wits, the constant guessing and deduction by different characters perfectly. Even though I dislike LaLa for being a stereotypical tsundere, I have to admit the rest of the novel is written incredibly well. The MC's f*cked up childhood and worldview does not impact on the enjoyment of the story, in fact it adds to the entertainment value somehow by explaining his ability to deceive and analyze others, as well as his motivation in life.
MC isekais into game he plays as a weak demon lord. Contrary to your typical tale of MC getting OP powers (so far), our MC uses his brain to survive as his conditions aren't so great. This is similar to a time regression novel as he uses his game knowledge to his advantage while trying to maintain a lazy NEET life. After this the novel changes drastically. We originally have a lazy character, he suddenly becomes more active and seemingly abandons his humanity. From here on our it's just spoilers/complaints pretty much. You've been warned.
Everything below includes Volume 2 Spoilers:
Falling in love with the Lala. Nothing wrong with this but MC basically dances in her palm the entirety of volume 2. Uhhh, you're the demon lord. What happened to Lala being a lowly half? Where does she get off being so disobedient.
He allows someone he befriends that is humane/against s*avery but allows Lala to kill him. ??? Are we not going to talk about this? I know he's a demon now but there's no input from his human perspective. It comes across very strange.
He rescues a s*ave to lead an army to lead a war against humanity. I guess we're dropping being a NEET now? Furthermore, she's exceedingly cruel--more cruel than probably how tr*sh he describes the 72nd demon lord in volume 1.
"I don't like people that look like kids."
>Proceeds to f*ck loli. Okay then. I also guess demons don't care about harems? I wish some discussion went into this though but Lala just doesn't care I guess.

- The characters
a bit bland at first but they grew on me. They all have different personalities and motives that really fit with the characters and for the most part get the stereotypes and smash them apart in a good way.-
- The story
10/10, with the mysteries and schemes slowly revealing themselves in a grand fashion and sometimes unexpected ways while giving you just enough information to make you own judgements and guesses. It is masterfully done. Except for the plot holes and inconsistencies which makes you question whether or not you are in space or the writers room... go in with the need to suspend disbelief and you will enjoy it.-
- The
It mostly works, it starts off mostly explaining that the MC has daddy issues and convincing his dad to commit su*cide because of his mom who wants to make a meat toboggan out of him. While it was surprising the rest of the novel just runs off shock factor and an internal competition of 'who wants to beedginessDark themesa millionairethe darkest scene, ' it is done really well in the earlier volumes and actually isn't that bad overall but it just becomes an edge-fest fast but an enjoyable one. BTW the translation is amazing props to them! Overall I quite enjoyed it (and actually did a assignment on it and did well XD, the teacher never questioned it) but it really does require a suspension of disbelief and to not look overly deeply into things and enjoy it for what it is; a dark novel based entirely off shock factor with pretty good writing but not using everything it should have. EDIT: I just found out that my assignment on this is being used as a high mark exemplar for the school, LOL.First and foremost, about his ability to see people's affection. Somehow after the second volume, that ability has never been used again. Oh wow, Dantalian is a real pro in gaming. The choices that will appear when he's making an important decision. This, too, has never been mentioned after a certain point in the story despite he has been clearly making very important decisions throughout the entire chapters up to date. Well, these two things will probably be used again in the future so no big deal but it's absent for few volumes, that's inconsistency, which is a big flaw in novels.
Secondly, this is probably the biggest flaw in this novel.
Languages.
At the start of the series, when Dantalian encountered some adventures, it has been established that our MC perceived conversations in Korean. However, when he met Laura for the first time, Laura tested him by speaking in several different languages and somehow Dantalian could perfectly differentiate those languages. Wasn't he supposed to hear it in Korean? It would have been better if he managed to differentiate languages by reading their lips instead. Our MC could appear even more "genius". Also, during Laura's speech before the war, I'm wondering as to what language she had used to make ALL OF THE COMMONERS AND PEOPLE BELOW THAT from all of the nations of the opposing side to understand her. Those people are highly unlikely to be bilingual, let alone multilingual. There was no clarification at all, the only thing that was described in the chapter was how the witches used sound amplification magic to make Laura's speech audible to everyone. This is a serious matter in my opinion, because this speech plays a major role to cause internal problems to the enemy.
Then the Imperial Princess also conveyed a speech, she at first asked a mage to stop invoking a spell to translate her speech into the demon's language by saying she could speak in demon's language so that she could intercept Laura's speech. Well, it was a complete waste though since she didn't intercept it and she also didn't speak in demon's language I assume since her people could understand her but not the soldiers of neighboring countries. This had no problem whatsoever but it shows that this novel lacks crucial descriptions.
