The story is a 1/5 riddled with plotholes. However, the execution is a 4/5. To the point that I would say that despite the constant attacks by demons, the focus of this novel is actually the romance. Isaac always just uses Hunter to steamroll the demons, so it's a stream of SOL + training chapters with love interests occasionally interrupted by oneshotting demons.Despite supposedly hiding his strength pretty much every love interest detects Isaac's strength soon after meeting him. The SOL is done really well and salvages the relationships but the meetings are really, really cliche.Moreover, anyone who doesn't detect Isaac's power and grow interested in him pretty much falls out of the story. The main character of the game is largely ignored; I would be surprised to find out Isaac exchanged a sentence with him. The teacher (Fernando) that Isaac says is important and must be saved since he leads the opposition to the main villain has done absolutely nothing. The adults are ignored because apparently the MC and his love interests are such geniuses that the adults are too weak to be relevant (begging the question of why they don't hire at least one former genius to handle them).The story just does not hold up under examination. The author hasn't even bothered explaining the specifics of how Isaac's anti-Demon perk strengthens him. However, the SOL is really nice to read, so I recommend trying the series just for that. Ignore the demon attacks and enjoy the SOL portions if you like it. edit: I enjoyed the SOL, but thinking back the SOL also had a fair amount of cliches. A lot of the "dialogue" was also just the MC fangirling in his head. I enjoyed it so I did not mind. However, if you don't then there isn't much left to enjoy in the series.
