Review Detail of ArrogantSavant in THE NINTH HERO

Using the story of moonled journey across another world and other Japanese isekai novels as a general inspiration this novel does a adequate job setting up its own story despite that because the author has sufficient writing skill.Unfortunately the author hasn't done well in turning the plot development more suited for visual mediums to novel form. Up to a certain point in the story does an excellent job knowing where to point the camera and which characters to point it at but the author vetoes starting from chapter 64 that introducing side characters that he lacks the writing flair to make immediately interesting compared to a visual medium. There is also a deep contradiction when it comes to creating that initial investment in these characters. The main character himself is hostile or wants to avoid them entirely. It makes me feel making such an investment of interest is pointless or more likely suggests a chain of future events forcing the maelstrom of things happening against his will or with a convoluted resolve. Leaning on the humans versus Demons thing is fine but I feel the author took the wrong approach with the main character he created. The characterisation of the main character is more suited to a war of shadows and corruptions whilst the author chose to make it a war of blood and terror. I find it a shame the novel couldn't live up its full potential because of these circumstances but I actively looked forward to the author's next novel because he is a good writer but shackled himself to his inspirations dragging down his novel.TL;DR Author-san stop reading isekai manga and read more webnovels.
