I usually don't review but this time its a must. World building is one of the best ones I've seen and I'm eager to see what you have else in plan (can you spoil me a little xD).
As for grammar and writing, it's pure 5/5. Though there is a small meaningless mistake when counting his Nords and gold, but that doesn't really affect the story.
Characters are 3 dimensional but I had a hard time imagining how they look (a mistake on my end) but there's character tabs so..
As for the story, I was thinking of rating it a 4 but I rated it 5 after reading Awakened chapters because of the mystery and new antagonist.
Now, the only problem is the stability of updates. PLEASE, if you can author-san update it more frequently.
Coming into this, you were probably baited by the title. DO NOT LET IT MISLEAD YOU! This story is masterfully crafted with intricate plotlines, characters, and world-building. Yes, harem elements exist, but that is not the only thing it has to offer!
All the characters are wonderfully crafted with delicate details to their backstories, and they all make logical decisions. Not once during my reading did I think that any of the characters felt fake in their dialogue or their actions. The main character Jack, is multilayered and deeply connects to the narrative, creating a powerful driving force for the entire plot.
Also, can we talk about the amazing writing quality?! As an author myself, the way characters converse is completely in line with how I would expect real sea folk to talk to each other! The descriptive language makes this story seem as if it's being narrated like a sea shanty!
The comedy is also very well done! None of it felt cliche and It got me laughing/giggling occasionally without me even thinking about it. None of the jokes flew over my head, the author does a wonderful job of presenting them organically without hurting the agency of the plot. He also interweaves them at the perfect moment so the tone/mood of a scene is not impacted.
Give it a try, I'm sure the first chapter alone will hook you!
Ahoy (Author here). This Webnovel starts out slow and dull, but right at the end of 'Beast of Howling Treetop' do the mysteries start to come into play, as well as the system. And by the start of Volume 2 you'll be fidgeting in your seat from the amount of excitement you're going to experience (and sadness). If you have any questions reply with a comment. Ty.
Compared to what stuff I usually read with harem tag, this outclasses each and every single one of them. Romance is slow paced (I think you're aiming for romance between Mary and Jack?) but satisfying
I like how sometimes they seek each others touch and care, and the next day they roast each other.
Question, I dont mind spoilers. Will Elenor join the crew?
