Poor guy is gonna have to become a clown to juggle all these identities. It doesn't help that he makes up new ones on the fly so often, lol. I give it fifteen chapters before he's a high-ranking agent for the golden eye organization.

What the fuck Murakan! They were just gonna try to capture him and you turned it into a kill order to aura farm.

So a man with experience then. What's the downside?

Call me crazy, but this feels like a set up for a 'power of friendship' ending. Don't get me wrong, I'm not inherently against that, I just hope it isn't one of those "I know you're still in there!" ones. I have faith based on the writing of this story that, at the very least, the ending will be done competently whether or not they go that route. I do really hope they don't though, lol.

Yes, that too, but at this point in the story they didn't know that demon's could get a class in the first place. I'm pretty sure that's established later.

TruePurpleMK is right, the novel rocks. The pacing is also much faster if my recollection serves me right, so you can start from the beginning and it would only take you a few hours to get to this point. The novels are mad cheap too, like 3$ or 4$ per. I read most of them with Kindle Unlimited tho. It's like 13 dollars a month so if you want you can read them in all and then just not renew the subscription. It's not machine translated or anything either, it's just an English novel, so it's quite well written. I only mention that since I've been turned off by the horrible grammar in a few MT webnovels.

She was never stupid, she was naïve. When your from a plane that is so fundamentally different from the world of the living and your not even two years old, some ignorance can be forgiven. Besides that, from the beginning it's shown that she's never actually made a dumb decision when she has the right information and context. If anything, the only thing I'd say is that she's a little too prone to taking risks. The only thing I was kind of confused about is the fact Daniel figure out it was a demon, and then I remembered he's sleep deprived.

Besides that, if I'm being honest, it was kind of obvious it was a demon once a cultist was mentioned. The small details just reinforced the point.

There is no translator. This is an adaption of an english novel, just like the beginning after the end. They meant that you can learn space magic without a class, but each level is equivalent to a year of study. Or that's what I got from it at least. Unless I'm fucked up? Was there a place where they genuinely got them mixed up in the speech bubbles? Cause I didn't see that.

It's been a while since I've read the novel, but I think I remember Edithe mentioning that his antics were embarrassing or something like that. It's been like two years so my mind could be making that up, though.

Does it count as a retcon if it's just an unmentioned detail? It's not like her being colorblind really changes or recontextualizes any interactions up until this point. I mean, it's not great writing, but I don't think it's a retcon. If she's actually blind then maybe, but even then I bet it's something like her seeing through her magic, something the audience could reasonably go without knowing until now. It could just be a normal reveal. I don't want to give this story too much grace, it's had some really shitty writing, but I don't think this necessarily counts yet.

Considering that there was a tl note saying that the author chose to name the swords in english, I'm guessing he just did it cause it would look cool to the native readers. Like an english novel naming a sword a google translated japanese phrase.

Honestly, I wasn't sure about the art change at first, but it's growing on me. Things seem less stiff now.

Damn, who is Fred and what did he do to become pornwha?

lol fair

Yeah, the whole "bathing the world in blood" thing doesn't seem super sustainable anyway. Being the king of a mountain of corpses doesn't sound all that fun.

I'm beginning to see why he'd make such a good demon lord. He started out with low self-esteem, but now that he actually knows he has self-worth it just makes him cool-headed. He can roll with the punches without letting his temper get the better of him because he's experienced worse and decided to be better than those that harmed him. I'm actually glad he didn't go ape shit, it shows his potential as a leader that he can be righteously furious without losing control, unlike other demons.

Holy fuck it was hard to get that down to 3,000 characters. I think they count line breaks or something, because I used a word counter and I was only at like 2,900 something. That took like twenty minutes of cutting and rearranging to make work, so sorry if my critique seems scatterbrained.

If brevity is the soul of wit, then I'm braindead.

I tend to play devil's advocate for manga, and I usually dislike it when people talk shit about a story for making choices they wouldn't have made. However, in the case of this story, I can't really ignore how mediocre it has become. Sure, it was never fantastic, but it had the makings of something dumb and fun, and hell, it was for a while. Now, I don't know.

Cain is just too perfect. He's incredibly powerful, yet humble, not a trace of arrogance or pride to be found. He's a natural-born leader and has no bias in his leadership. He's evenhanded when talking to those he should naturally find strange or even antagonistic, and empathetic to those he doesn't know. None of these things are bad in and of themselves, but the fact that he doesn't have a single flaw makes him boring. Normally, the way to combat this is simple... Just give your main character a flaw. But that doesn't have to be the only way; you can have a flawless Mary Sue and still have an interesting story. You just have to make sure that the world or story does the heavy lifting for the conflict, because there has to be conflict. It's basic storytelling.

In this, the conflict feels so weak. The Evil God hates him and is gonna do Evil God shit. Okay? So far, all he's done is get his ass kicked. I get that we're in the rising action, and the BBEG will get stronger in the future, but we already know where that ends. Cain will be stronger. He doesn't have to be more clever, more underhanded, or even use the magical power of friendship. He is just gonna struggle, maybe have another training arc, and then win. It's not even fun in a trashy kind of way, like with Anos Voldigold, because it's written straight. No twists or anything, it's as stereotypical power fantasy isekai slop as you can get.

And this is coming from me. I love trashy power fantasy stories, I'm a fucking trash goblin. I rummage around in the shit and bathe in slop like a pig in mud. I have, I can't stress this enough, terrible taste. And yet, even I'm getting bored that everyone in this story either wants to fuck or fawn over Cain, and the people who don't are all just evil bastards with no deeper motivations other than greed or base violence. And you know what? Doing a story straight like this can work, just not for 70 goddamn chapters. Apparently I've found my upper limit before I crave some variety.

I guess my overall opinion is that this story just isn't enough. Its action has gotten boring, its romance was never that interesting, and its characters have gone stale. I'll give the story this, though. It's character designs, while not particularly inspired, are done very well. That's about it.

Unfortunately, I was made to cut a few paragraphs due to the character limit. This jist is: If you like this, awesome. I talk a lot, but my opinion is just that. I'm done with this story, but I hope you can continue to enjoy it.

One week to both get eye treatment and recover is crazy. I love this series but I hope he extends that break a little. At the very least, I can't imagine many people would drop this story over a month long hiatus. I've waited longer for worse.

Dude, it's getting bad. The amount of times I see comments bitching about a plot hole or contrivance that never happened is staggering. Like, I'm half convinced that over 30% of the people on this site aren't literate. I understand that a slip-up can happen, people misread shit sometimes and that's fine, but I see it way too often.
