So like I said earlier, the plot revolves around the battle of good and evil. The MC is an absurdly good guy. Prety much the nicest you can be. And in a "shocking" twist the demon king is the exact opposite. The who plot is just building up towarss the final fight between the 2 or thats how it is for most of the series. In truth their conflict is actually some kind of proxy war between the sun goddess and the another evil god. Honestly the details are still a bit vague or it might be that I just didnt understand all of it because I read the raws. The system exists to limit the actions of both the hero and the demon king before their final fight. Both of them need to complete certain mission in order to awaken their powers (the hero needs to aweken his armour and the demon king needs to fully aweken her powers).
The twist being that they need to pretend to be the opposite of what they are. That is to say the hero needa to pretend to be evil and the demon king needs to pretend to be good. This later becomes them taking on the others identity (the demon king pretending to be the hero and the hero making the demon army think he is the demon king, though he himself never confirms it and just leaves it to their imaginations).
And should they be found out as frauds they get a penalty. This penalty decreases their vitality and life. That is to say the more people know that they arent good/ evil, the weaker they become. So thir remaining lifespan is cut in half and thry cant use their powers as much as they could before. But since the hero is a human he has it far worse than the demon king who has more vitality and lifespan. And just to further decrease the heroes chances of victory, he already had only 10 years to live due to his helping out one of the main female leads.
And so every time one of the female leads finds out abiut him, its not a good thing. And so the plot revolves around the MC doing the missions the system gives him, while the female leads who find out that the MC is actually good try to find loopholes to save him. Has some quite nice stakes and it never feels live the MC is at an overwhelming advantage, but its also not like he is losing all the time.
[collapse]Now if you didnt wanna read the long ass spoilers, im gonna tell you some things that will make you wanna read it. If you like little tyrand doesnt want to meet a bad end or demon prince academy, then you are going to like this one. Its main selling point is that the MC is already string from the start, but his system works against him to make him weaker which is unique. The harem is great, thoigh I gotta complain about the lack of any other male character in the cast (not a big deal, but just something I noticed as a fan of best friend characters).Dont worry abiut the plot shifting suddenly either. What you get in the first 10 chapters is prety much how the story feels up to chspter 248. A lot of romance and an ok amount of action. Thats about all I got to aay so go read it.
