Review Detail of HeavenlyAzureLotus in God of Crime: Strongest Mafia Boss

Long time HG reader, been reading his stories since hero king was around 105 chapters. I’ve had the opportunity to watch him evolve as a writer anyway heres my honest review. What I like: unique setting of paranormal meets normal society. Heavily researched religious & mythological ideas and influences in the story. Unique & Interesting power system. Things are very well described leaving a very complete feeling to each action taken. MC Is not a hero or villain just someone trying to do the best for people he cares about, which is very human. What I dislike: plot feels very slow with many description and large pools of information heavily impeding plot development. The prologue, first 30 chapters, foreshadowing and MCs job give you a feeling that there will be smut and harem relationship advancement when in reality there has been barely any in 300 chapters. (As a SHK reader this dIssapointed me quite a lot). I would understand if he choose to make this story less smutty and much less relationship focused but the way the first 30-60 chapters lead you to be excited about the relationship advancement & female MCs only for plot to be slow and relationship advancement almost non existent you feel kind of baited by the introduction and early chapters leaving dissatifaction with the plot progression. (Example author states vol 6 is supposed to be the arc of Female Mc X (no spoilers) yet 60 chapters in we haven’t even seen her) essentially getting your hopes up for relationship advancement only for it to be ignored most of the volume. Overall: this novel is still better than 95% of WNs don’t be mistaken. Just don’t go into this story excited hoping for fast plot, smut and relationship advancement, or you will be like me and be dIssapointed everytime you read more chapters and nothing happens that you’re expecting. //Lotus
