This story is very... moderate. I can't feel the desire for revenge from the characters, even though they keep saying it's what they want. They are robotically going through the motions. The story does a lot of telling rather than showing. There is hardly any hint of blood lust. It is as though their desire for revenge is completely insincere.The main leads are also quite flat, personality-wise. The MC is as generic as they come. Although he says he wants revenge, he still acts as a super-nice guy saving everyone along the way. That would still be okay if he at least had an ethical struggle with his decisions, but he's not even worried at all. The character has hardly developed at all from the beginning of the series. The female lead has an interesting background, but she also comes across as incredibly flat and has had little development. There is no tension between the two characters. Not a single drop of chemistry to be had. There is no suspension, no tension, no question of betrayal, no secret motives... They both just wear their hearts on their sleeves and have identical goals of revenge against the same people. There is no drama to look forward to with their interactions. None of the side characters make the series any better either.The story does not have enough comedy, action, or creativity to make it interesting enough. That said, someone who wants a mellow adventure series staring an OP protagonist and the maou might like it more. This story really lacks in intensity.
