The Novel started out pretty good, but was ruined by five things in particular:1. The MC is basically a loser, no matter how many enemies he kills he always loses more. The author probably did this to increase the sense of dread in the LN, however, it backfired on him. By the time the MC gets some type of chance against his enemies, the readers will be extremely frustrated.Spoiler
Why does the author tease us by getting the MC super depressed and close to loner OP mode, and then changing his attitude all of a sudden?! Which happened THREE f*ckING TIMES!!! It will happen eventually, why delay it for so many chapters[collapse]
160 chapters in is when the main character gets a power from a god, but this power is not explained or even technically revealed and will take a bunch of chapters to actually develop into something the MC can use.
[collapse]2. Too many POV changes. Seriously, who gives a f*ck what the enemy thinks. Would have been better if it stayed as a first person. Poor translators by the way, they had to identify every POV change.3. The unnecessary introduction of guns in fantasy world. Should have seen it coming since the MC came from Earth and the only attack magics he has are gun related. SpoilerThe author uses Simon, an alchemist who made a gun, as the gateway for guns into the fantasy world. Are you f*cking kidding me, some guy in an alternate universe dominated by magic and martial arts just thought one day, "I'm gonna make a gun". The fact he sucks at magic is not an excuse for this. Modern technology in a medieval setting ruins the story.
[collapse]4. Harem+Dark storyline filled with gore+pathetic MC=Crap5. The pacing is turtle speed, the useless POV changes to the villain's side do not help.If you didn't like Law of the Devil, you definitely won't like Kuro no Maou This review is probably really bad, but I was just so pissed at this LN. SpoilerWhy the f*ck is the author trying to give the readers a sense of attachment with the apostles by changing the POV?!
