Outer World Story: The Black Mist that Devours Chapter 17 Discussion

at first when I read prologue, it remind me of <Dungeon Battle Royale> since most of pattern is quite similar but if you aim to read this genre then it still ok at some point though I found this one is more half-heart in setting building because many scene look like author just show it like that without explain or detail

good point - demon king and dungeon are more unique with their characteristic, human side also have special power that is unique for each person

bad point - character's deepness and development, lack of detail that would convince us to agree in some outcome

Spoiler

like how author try to tell us that MC is so good at setting trap and build up dungeon but you won't see much detail in his management except saying that he's so good at it or preparation is perfect that make me feel that it's more about his op characteristic that he get by chance since there also no detail in MC paste or anything and refer to his characteristic as demon king

also that op cheat that he could just take anyone as his kin without their agreement that is make thing become more half-heart and those character seem to act in killing human so easy too

still at this point this novel is quite ok to read to pass time

[edited: ch20]

I think I'll drop this one with these reasons, and lower it's rated to just 2 star

Spoiler

- at this point I don't found much management which I expect from dungeon management genre, instead author put in op evolved insect monster that even military's mage spend all of their mana into firemagic but it still deal just 1 dmg

- too convenient setting and progress, even through Japan acknowledged MC's dungeon to be most dangerous one but somehow they still send few 6 people squad to die in his dungeon once in awhile, also condition to escape dungeon is too convenient for demon kings since invader need to stay at least 1km away from entrance and over 1 hour have to pass before they could leave dungeon

- this one is only my taste but I feel disgusting when I found MC toying a girl (human which turn into his kin by his cheat) by s*xual harassment to get her information report (her family is in important position so she could sneaky get those information from her house which in area near MC's dungeon, so very convenient isn't it -_-")
