- The first potential harem member just tags along with the MC playing the maid-wife role and the MC doesn't even bother to try and understand her situation or her motivation. Later on we're given some shitty excuse like "I watched you MC-sama", as if this sh*t ass wimpy MC is worth watching.
Now don't go telling me it gets better later. A story worth its salt always gets better near the latter portion because thats its climax! But a real good author knows how to keep the reader hooked right from the first page. Either one of the two things is essential for that:- Purpose: the author has to give a clear purpose to the story and the MC. This has to be done in the first few chapters, and this purpose has to be over-arching one that'll last till the very end of the story. Good stories always start with a purpose to them.
OR 2. Crafting the world: The systems and elements that consist of the world should be so interesting that the reader can enjoy figuring it out even if there is a lack of purpose as of yet to the story. Unfortunately in this series neither has been any good. I'll probably try and keep reading for a few more chapters to see if the MC gets more bearable, and if the characters improve from the standard 2d cutouts that they are, but it'll take a miracle for that to happen.(Example: Listening to her proposal, Aria refused.
"I'm sorry, I have to refuse."
Aria refused with an apologetic look.)
(Everything one would be interested in in such a world is boiled down to honourable mentions at best.
Magic, Skills, Races (elves, dwarves), Dungeons, Monsters - a lot of potentially interesting material, and none of it is used. Magical items are the most talked about, but the author tends to just repeat himself, so the end result that you don't actually know much about those either.)
(He's one of those uninteresting, weak-minded harem protagonists. He's easily replaceable.
His only saving graces are his spirit guides. His ancestors, who are all interesting in some way, and his
day-long change in personality, which occurs whenever he levels up. There are logical reasons for why he is the way he is, but that doesn't change anything.)
(Things just happen - there is no build up, no tension. Just when one would think things are about to explode in a climax, the author either glosses over it like it's no big deal, or it gets resolved 'off-screen'. Sometimes the situations gets a paragraph to itself, but that's about it.)
(All of the girls are likeable in their own way and are diverse in non-stereotypical way. All of them seem to have a story of their own, but their behaviour doesn't properly reflect that, I think. I'd say this is up to personal preference. These characters are the strongest points of this novel, along with protagonist's ancestors.)
(I've already touched upon it, but I think they deserve a mention of their own, as they really 'carry' the protagonist through the story. One could also argue that without them, there would be room for a much more interesting protagonist, though. In my opinion, the author should have limited their ability to interact with the protagonist, as they completely overshadow him.)
I really didn't appreciate the ancestor forcing Lyle to become a King, something he didn't want but had to do because they purposely didn't tell Lyle that in absence of a figurehead to rally people he would have to fulfill that role.
Lyle's goal was just to defeat his sister, and save his country if he could. Not be king, so he could have just created a elite group to assassinate her. I actually made a post about this topic years ago and people argued with me about it how he had to become king, but he really didn't. And he couldn't get away with just killing her as it would cause a continental war.
Lyle's home country is vast and incredibly powerful. Even with his sisters antics and massacring folks that didn't change. Even when Lyle builds a army they admit they wouldn't have much of a chance if his sister hadn't turned the people into s*upid undead on a whim.
This reveals his country was in no jeopardy of losing to any invaders if his sister was killed. And there wouldn't be a civil due to a power vacuum as both the crown prince and the former king and queen were still alive.
The harem is a joke that started well but becomes a gag by the end. New girls that didn't even benefit him really, more than one, and who didn't like or even know Lyle well or at all. And I especially dislike Novem and Miranda towards the end, and if you read the extras you know why. Especially Novem since the author swaps out her personality for a yandere who isn't as supportive or nice as she used to be.
Only good thing about the extras is Lyle finds comfort with Aria and the merchant daughter who he escapes to from his crazy harem in his spare time.
- Great character development of main character Lyle
- The story keeps you hooked
- The world building is phenomenal
- The harem members are unique and lovable characters
