Metaphorical box.

Too much yapping! Get elbowed!
Besides, you threw the first punch and then the second and third ones too. This elbow is the fourth attack in this exchange.

"IT'S WORKING!"
How it's actually going:

He is stopping all seven of you with one hand.

One of the completed villainess manhwa I read. Which one exactly? I think it's "When the Villainess Loves."

Well, there is someone here who has the power of a martial ancestor. hehehehe

They seem to be treated better too.

Oh boy. Looks like his rep growing has finally reached its breaking point.

Also, importantly, we haven't seen his mom in quite a few chapters now.

The tightrope he seems to be walking can snap at any time.

He's been trying to not receive retaliation and it seems to be working, but that can't last forever.

That checks out. She's trying to pull a sneaky sneaky on him and... well, I don't think it'll work, overall. Though... if she succeeds, that would be the end of humanity which will eventually lead to the end of herself too.

She'd use his powers to delete devils -> to erase practically everything until there is only war. A war that will end only when humanity ends.

I think I get his ploy...? Allow rumors to spread that he's completely inept in multiple ways - but throw a saving grace that he's good in one way. It's... honestly, I wouldn't have taken the risk but hey, I didn't live 100 lives.

Did he just barf out the "Snow Devil" or something?

Also, is the devil that represents WAR really falling for Denji's miserable appearance? (Like, his appearance when he's miserable)

Well, this situation with the tutor can be directly linked to a situation IRL -> imagine a private tutor specifically hired to work with a child who has autism. Would it be acceptable if the tutor blatantly looked down the child?

The look of sheer disinterest spelling out "if you died in front of me while I stepped on a bug, I'd be more worried about my shoes."

The setting is ye olde times so like, it is expected; I don't think Mr. Main Character is surprised. Still, it still sucks that it's happening, ya know? Like taking medicine that tastes horribly. You can brace for it all you want, it will still taste horrible the moment you drink it.

Unironically, he's not wrong about the talent thing. Every manhwa and even manhua I've read feature corrupt people at the top who are quick to decide to "snip it in the bud" <- where "it" is a character with talent.

Yeah... what's with using months for baby ages instead of years? It happens often IRL too.

SMH skill issue.

Also, the go-to thing a baby can do to "attack" the person carrying them is pull on their (facial) hair.

Should've killed him. Hit him with "you, who is without mercy, now beg for it?" I mean, look at this scum, do you think he'd show mercy to your dad if you failed to stop his magic?

I know it's a different story between killing and hunting demons vs humans, but this trash attacked your dad. Not that you need more reasons to justify killing him, but it exists: that demonic energy.

Whatever happens, do NOT go the Batman route.

Eh, it's fantasy. If you've suspended your disbelief enough to accept the plot so far, you can suspend it a slight bit further to just shrug this off too.

Furthermore, you can just say "it's a fantasy world! Maybe they all breathe helium and oxygen is poisonous to them!" There is no proof otherwise so like, it isn't impossible. lol

Literally where I thought this chapter was going.

Also, poor maid, panicking over the baby.

This story starts with Ms. Main Character at around 10 years old; time passes and she barely reaches 11 years old; then a time skip happens and she's 14. No really.

Then a final time skip happens 9 chapters before the finale of FOUR YEARS finally getting her to 18 years old. You will spend most of the time looking at three dudes romance her with the thought of "she's 14. Her dad is protecting her well but I sure wish he was more definitive." Or you'd be a weeb and think he needs to stop so she can get romanced directly which... eww...
Also, chapter 207 is the epilogue and chapter 206 is the finale.

That annoying detail aside, this entire work's strength can be described in one word: CUTE!

It has an interesting start and some well written characters, interesting lore and all that jazz. There are a few problems:
1) The Emperor isn't written. Think of evil qualities and throw them at him and that's literally all he is: an embodiment of all that is wrong with the world with no rhyme or reason behind it.
2) and this one is more important: the pace is super slow. Anything that can be done in two panels is done in two chapters. I'm not hyperbolizing for the funny but I'm dead serious: the pacing is super slow. I was tempted to say "languid" to avoid saying "slow" as some people take offense to that (I dunno why) but it isn't just languid, but even slower than that -> hence "super slow."
This is made super apparent when the pace picks up from super slow to "normal pace" for the last few chapters and I'm like "oh my god, they had a normal conversation for once."

3) The art is nice and cute and all, but it cannot do action. The important parts of action are kinda communicated, but aren't properly shown. This is mostly fine on the basis that there is almost no action anyway. 99% of what happens is talking and being cute.

To reiterate on number 2, if it was all on a normal pace, forget 200 chapters, this would've been over from start to finish in about 50. Not much happens overall.

So uh... if you're good on the super slow pace and you're here for the cute, then 8/10.
Else, 5/10. Maybe 4/10.
I feel like if you skip from chapter ~6 or something down to chapter 196, you won't really miss anything... I already read it all so I can't verify if it is true or not, but if it is, then maybe 2/10. As you can see, I'm not the target audience for this but the first few chapters were good.
