tl;dr at endIt’s a pretty decent story, however I have a couple bones to pick with it. The first one is that set should be s rank or rei should have an s rank pet because his power was so strong it overflowed into the scythe so it makes very little sense to me that set is not among the strongest monsters. The second is the fact that the way they absorb the stones is dumb for two main reasons they can only absorb one of each kind which doesn’t make sense and the second is that they gain skills which I just think is a bad idea. And his fixation on gathering magical items makes no sense, none of them are gonna be that useful in a fight and as such never uses them. Now we’re on to the big gripes, rei hasn’t changed in ANY way be it strength or maturity since the first 60 chapters or so, he has a couple of flaws that he has either not even tried to fix or straight up just quit trying to fix it. Next him being an adventurer doesn’t make much sense, they only hold him back. And lastly, unless I forgot about something while writing this, set is a glorified mount and yes man to rei and is extremely annoying, and yet steals all the attention away from rei which is somehow even more annoying than his constant Gurururu! Which only ever means three things I’m hungry, I miss you/I’m lonely, or I’m happy, rei plays second fiddle towards something I would barely recognize as a character.tl;dr the strory is just alright because the story is unfocused, has many things that don’t make sense, and character development is extremely slow if there is any at all.
