I thought I'd like this series when I first found it. And in fact, I did - at least at first. A couple dozen chapters in, a faint voice rang in my mind asking, "Where is the main story-line?" Well, after over two hundred chapters, so far I haven't seen much of it. But what I've seen has been unimpressive and very dull. The novel had the same general story repeated with different enemies. Every time I've tried to tell myself, "It's just the protagonist's personality." But I can't handle that anymore, because if it's just the protagonist's personality, it's the writer's responsibility to stop the story from getting so damn repetitive. The only good thing I can think about for this novel is that there's a lot of action. For me, it feels incredibly unsatisfying. The characters are shallow (funny enough, that's actually true for all characters in this novel, not just the secondary ones), and the plot is too weak to get me invested in the conflicts.Two hundred chapters. I'm two hundred chapters in, and I've seen no character development, feel no attachment to any of the characters, and can't bear to read any more of this story. Even Kuro No Maou, that story with a horrendously slow and lengthy start, is a series I started to really enjoy far before chapter 200. This series looks like something I really won't enjoy. The translation is great, so if you like a cycle of mindless action, go ahead. This ain't for me.
