Well it was good while it lasted, but the drama and the constant bitching ended up grinding my patience into dust, also it's time to start considering DxD a curse, everytime it's introduced in a fanfic the quality takes a nosedive.. The first 40 chapters are great, i didn't even miss a comma, but by chapter 80 i was so annoyed i started skimming through.
Self insert novel, the translation is very poor and from what i've read women get quite the "treatment".. Call me whatever you want, but from my experience all novels that start with all these checkboxes ticked never improve.
The novel is harem but it is impossible to look forward to the mc getting girls because 1. all of them insta fall for him, 2. the scenes are skipped and 3. the interactions feel empty. The harem part is supposed to be the meat and potatoes of the novel but how am i supposed to enjoy it when literally everything gets rushed/skipped?
Don't get baited by the family system thing, his family aren't even relevant enough to be considered background characters, they're just numbers for the mc, by chapter 2 he has already married 2 girls, proper introductions? character developlent? any fun interactions? how about no, just take this timeskip and don't ask any questions! okay, chapter 3 begins, we get some merchants interacting with the wives, here comes the character devel- Just kidding, have another timeskip! sure.. chapter 4 behins, oh look their wives got pregnant and even gave birth in the same chapter, they're healthy bab- *timeskip* Dude what even is th- *timeskip*
Thought it would be a fun read just because of the tag combination but all i got was a Bleach dramafest with some lighthearted moments sprinkled on top, can't say a thing about the system because up until ch 29 it did literally nothing except for that questionable race change, extra point because of the interactions, those were really enjoyable.
Very fun read, the mc is pretty nice too and the setting is chill and enjoyable (dunno if this wish-trading concept/setting is original or not but i haven't seen it before, wouldn't be surprised if more writers adapted it for their own fanfics) So far as of chapter 45 i can say it is one of those rare novels where its high rating reflects its quality, keep it up!
Insanely annoying and bitchy mc, dude keeps having inner monologues saying he will do this and that but all we get is him being faceslapped again and again because he's weak as an ant, also the ntr part.. no comments.
Was hapily reading the novel (pretty lighthearted, not bad honestly), however, from chapter 5 to 29 i've been feeling some kind of deja-vu, then chapter 30 happened and i finally remembered, this is that novel where the mc's grandfather allows an assassin to sneak into the mc's house, in their own heavily guarded clan, and strangle one of the mc's girls while the mc is away.. yeah no thanks bro. I would like to ask what were you thinking when you wrote those chapters but forget it.
Had to take some deep breaths before reviewing this thing.. First of all i have to congratulate the author, who somehow managed to craft one of the most unbearable mcs i've ever read on this website, a talking "system" that is as dumb and annoying as the mc, on top of that, useless (first time reading a novel with a system that has no functions other than annoying the reader) and a "goddess", goddess that is as dumb as the mc and as useless as the system, what a great combo man, thanks! And those "mysterious" characters that get their dialogue interrupted/cut everytime they're going to explain what's going on can keep being mysterious all they want, the crazy lore they know wouldn't matter anyway when it's impossible to care about the main character. Oh also, 1 month worth of training and the dude is still weak as an ant but somehow extremely handsome? for what? so he can make people jealous and get bullied? who enjoys this kind of outcome? This novel gets you progressively angrier, and i doubt that the reward (if there even is one) will be good enough to make you think "hey, you know what? it wasn't that bad afterall).
I've read 52 chapters, not a single time i thought "nice, well done mc!" or got hyped about him making a heroine fall for him, because in the end they don't matter at all, the only thing that matters about them is their backing, so the mc can waste our time playing them for 40+ chapters and then destroy them because generic jade beauty #4 wanted revenge and he needs her because she's a system point cow that hasn't been milked yet. That's the mc in a nutshell, if the system asked him to trade his little brother for 100k points he would do it in a heartbeat.
Update: the dude literally accepted on becoming tiamat's (one of the 2 beings monitoring him) son.. on the spot! i don't have any other words to say than LOL! Seriously though, webnovel has to start double checking reviews, we (the readers) are wasting our time giving these novels a chance getting baited by fake ratings (seen those 4-5 star emote-only reviews? or the ones saying "likeee"? that's how these novels get to the top rank)
Boy do i hate novels that keep the mc under monitoring.. and this novel has 2 beings behind him! also, the fact that the author himself is telling us that the mc will be dumb for the first 30-40 chapters doesn't help either. I'll give it 10 more chapters, if this dumb handholding doesn't go away i'm dropping.
How to ruin your novel in 9 chapters, seriously, what was going through your head when you decided to write the whole irinaxissei stuff while baiting with a possible relationship with the mc? now after being rejected by quite literally one of the worst mcs in anime history, she has no value or future as a character and any interaction with her will feel like pity and borderline cuckish. I'm not into cuckery so yeah, i'm out.
Had potential but the whole "you're just a woman" was a massive turnoff for me, i don't get it, why make it as if his "fated" encounters with the girl were something special if you're going to downplay anything she does or says with "but she's just a girl", "just a mere female" and the childish "i can't ask her for help, she's a woman"? Might as well introduce her as a rival CEO so you can faceslap her as much as you want and keep the mc single.
Boring, extremely boring. Mc is all talk, has the personality of an emo teen and behaves like a child (where's the "high iq" i was promised?) Plot is generic and well, it's a self-insert power fantasy solo mha fic, so don't come expecting much. As usual i'm surprised about the rating, if this is 4.7/5 material i shiver at the thought of a 2/5 novel.
