Review while reading the MTL: Surprisingly one of the better "That one time I tried to bang my sister but then she told me I was actually adopted and she had secret feelings for me the entire time but then we got transported into a RPG action game?! Okay! I guess we'll conquer the world" title novels.It has cliches but cliches aren't bad since it really depends on how you use them. This one uses it kinda averagely, it's your typical otome game isekai novel, but what really carry's this novel is the setting. It's dark and gritty, you can feel how weak the MC is and how far the power gap is between him and the weakest yokai.however while I do praise the world, the story drags on a bit later on because it becomes conflict after conflict, battle after battle with brief intermissions. That's not bad because it keeps in tone with the dark gritty setting, but the MC doesn't really grow and should not be able to survive the encounters he gets into. Hmm, I should say it is repetitive. The story is basically him getting his ass beat over and over and then getting saved by the heroines or pulling a bullsh*t comeback despite him literally having his entire body cut in half. I'm exaggerating on the body cut in half, but really, the MC should not be able to survive the encounters he gets in because the author doesn't write enough power growth to justify it. Spoiler
Well, I mean there is one thing that kinda powers him up, but I'm not sure if I can call it a level up because it's not explained due to it just becoming prominent in recent chapters and he still gets his ass beat despite using it.
[collapse]Overall, considering the quality of Japanese novels now, this is like a shiny button inside of dogshit. It's better than most Japanese novels, but it's worser than it's Korean/Chinese counterparts.
