So this novel got underrated so much I have to defend it. Why are you even comparing this with Nidome, sure they all about revenge but with different characters. Kaito lets all the hate devoured him which is a good thing for a vengeance based novel, it lets you feel the joy and madness of a broken person on a quest for vengeance. What about this one then, Iori also got betrayed and thought he has broken, but he's not. Which leads to the torturing scene a little soft but that's not wrong since he hasn't broken yet. He just want a sorry (also the death of his betrayal or so he thought) and more importantly he got Elfi which can become a healing factor to make the good out of him. As much as I hate to admit but this story will self destruct if it continues to force the vengeance part, I am ok with it being the plot but put vengeance as the theme is not going anywhere with the MC this soft (except if the author throws a big boom and let Elfi die when she and Iori are in the relationship, that will be a trigger for the next, maybe even madder Kaito, and vengeance can really be pull out from the novel) I highly recommend this novel not as an vengeance base but an adventure base, don't read Nidome and come here complaining since Iori isn't as broken as Kaito. Give it a try but read it with the thought of this is an adventure novel, it will be a lot better. Overall:Plot: 4/5 since the MC not fit for madness vengeanceWriting: 5/5 good job from the translators (only when you read it fast thou) Character: 4, 5/5 again Iori not fit for madness but Elfi best waifuTheme: 1/5 wrong choice when forced vengeance as the themeOriginality: 4/5 have similarities with Nidome but different in a lot of thingsPotential: 5/5 this can become 1 of the best adventure/romance novels or a very forced vengeance one
