Okay! I really love the immediate setting the story starts off with.TL:DR: Good story to read, see if you like it. Characters aren't too fleshed out as of yet, but they probably will be, and narrative (like, what happens in the book) is quite unexpected for me, which was cool.Story: Son of a bi- Hero isn't as strong as his father or mother (the saintess). Pushed down by society, the MC struggles to be acknowledged by the world until he meets the Demon King that his father and his comrades killed. He works with the Demon King to become the best.Pacing + Story: The storyline is very nice. That's subjective from me, so read it at your own pace or whatever. It flows very well and doesn't feel rushed at all. As the story progresses, there are chapters from another's point of view, which is very helpful for providing context, alongside a different perspective from our MC.Romance: The MC's denseness doesn't affect his relationship with the current three women, as all three are very proactive in chasing him, so if you're here for the romance, proceed! An issue is just that... it's gonna take a while for the romance, especially at Sads' translation rate (I'm just spoiled) Translation: I know further down there's a comment that hates on Sads TL and has a lot of likes, implying that he's correct, but really, it's fine. I'm able to fully understand the episode, as well as get the jokes, and Sads TL makes sure to explain the joke. As I'm not able to understand Japanese, I'm judging blind, but the story makes sense, so it's a yes from me!World and Conflict: The setting is understandable. If in a swimming pool, it'd be the border between the shallow and deep end where the tall people can touch the floor, but the short ones can hit their tiptoes while keeping part of their face above the water. As we aren't that far into the novel, there isn't too much about the world explained. As the story progresses, the MC is forced to understand parts of the world he never knew about, through his master. Parts of the conflict of the story is pretty cliche, but the author spins it into a relatively good scene. An issue I have is the conflict. It feels fantastical and forced, but hey, f*ck it.Characters: They feel flat. There's not much I can say about this. They're driven by their goals and ONLY their goals. There isn't much about them afterward. The side characters and deuteragonists (Semi-main characters) neglect their responsibilities for said goals, which is very concerning, especially in a realistic sense.If you've actually gone this far down, and like what I've written, you might want to check out my recommendations list. There you can suggest novels for me to read because I'm running out of things for me to run away from society from.
