Honestly I liked the way it started out. I personally hate harem tags but the way this novel had it where there was only one romantic interest. The rest of the girls he hung out with were in no way romantic interests, simply just other people hang around that happen to be female. That was fine to me, and in fact, probably the only instance of a harem that I don’t hate.The MC is pretty op, and is shown to have a bit of a struggle with some opponents who have more experience or is a higher level than him. He is also a little chuuni, but the way it’s portrayed isn’t that annoying.Some parts of the novel don’t make too much sense, like a why a demon lord who should placing upmost priority in protecting his core would stay away from the dungeon for an extended period of time, or some of the other, smaller, actions the MC takes.The fact that the MC doesn’t stay holed up in his dungeon is fine with me, since it stops the story from being a repetitive “defend your base from some random new attacker” type of story, but if you’re the type that wants a dungeon defense story, this is NOT your novel.I am dropping this (maybe skim over some new chapters if the situation changes) because it’s beginning to change into a typical harem novel. It seems that the MC is being forced to accept the girl as a new romantic interest for no reason at all. There’s nothing as to why the MC would even want to accept her, and even less of a reason why his first interest would try to force the MC to get another romantic interest.Overall, I think the first bit of the novel is good, but later on it just kind of drops. The translation quality is decent.
