I believe it was ok until the "second" reincarnation of Kretos. It's very generic for this kind of novel. There's a few problems I have with this novel. 1 Half the girls that he takes in don't have any sort of personality or reason to be there. (Hilda, Sword Princess, everyone from the Kretos arc) 2. He's the Demon Lord Reincarnated, he has the wisdom of supposedly 10,000 different reincarnations or even more. He's supposed to be very intelligent. He cares so much about his family and village, but leaves them to fend for themselves. You literally know that there are forces stronger than whatever Lisa could possibly train... He had established himself as a force already within Grenton, but he didn't move his family or his village there. Sure maybe not the village since he has the whole "I break the norm and only care about people I care about" attitude, but at least your family. Using Lisa and the Father as a way to push the story to some other place was probably the biggest turnoff for me. 3. What is the Kretos arc? It's a huge mess and the story could have taken a much better turn than that.
