I almost passed on this novel because the premise sounded pretty vague and aimless. "He's going to search the entire world for his crush? How long will that take?" Glad I didn't.To be honest, I only read for my everlasting search of a harem novel done right. This... wasn't that. Like in a lot of cases, as soon as the girl falls in love with the main character, you can say goodbye to any depth she had. What made me stay however was the main character himself.I'll be blunt. The MC's an everyman built to relate to the audience as a modern day person fresh to this fantasy world. At no given moment does the main character know more than we the readers know. He's not even given some lofty ambition like defeating the Demon King or ruling over territory. His goal is just as stated prior. Plain and simple.But this very thing puts him at odds with everybody else who has lived in such a world for generations, trying to justify their actions both good and bad by lofty ideals such as justice and fairness. Watching this clash is always entertaining.Even moreso in that chapters seem to be written chapter by chapter. I don't even think the author knows what will until it actually happens so every twist feels genuine. Does make cliffhangers all the more painful though...
