I feel like things happened too fast in this story. In the point of view of the protagonist who lived with Ash for a few weeks it might make sense, but honestly reading the chapters after the end of vol.1 just made me annoyed...
We had like 10 chapters of exposion to Ash, then she got kidnapped, then she got pissed at the protag and didn't stop thinking she's the center of the world's problems until now, like what... Think about it for a sec, the matriarchs and the succubus lost their home world because an evil goddes destroyed it, that's a lot of baggage; our lovely and annoying elf thinks that just because she was born an elf she's evil, I wonder what does that say about our kind protagonist, think she forgot but he is literally the son of the incarnation of evil and a hero, but sure being born an elf makes you evil...
Idk man, I just don't care enough about Ash to give a f* about her problems, to be honest the chapters were she doesn't appear are 10x better, it's the only way the protag doesn't have to act like he's in a landmine field afterall...
In conclusion, the novel is good, but everything happened too quickly, after the first matriarch appearence the plot didn't slow down for even a minute, we had 10000 new characters introduced, matriarcs, blighfall, mastermind of the blighfall and during all that the romantic/slice of life plot didn't progress even a bit, Ash still being annoying af, we don't know anything about Ria, besides the fact that if I was her master, I would have probably used a order to make her leave me alone during most of the chapters (talk about some1 who has no respect for other ppls feelings... If I was sad af because of some1 I care about the last thing I would want to hear is Ria's voice that's 4sure...), nothing to say about the matriarchs they kinda don't have any personality, one of them is annoying and the other is a zombie (a cute zombie that is quite caring, but still no other personality traits), the succubus is getting a bit of the spotlight in the last few chapters, but nothing really to talk about and let's ignore Amanda...
As some1 who has nothing to do i'll probably keep reading the novel, but I would like to see some character progression after this blight disaster arc ends... The parents of the protag are still ghosting him, we know nothing of the girls that will be a part of the harem except their names and a few personality traits and for god sakes make Ash less annoying please, more interactions with the succubus and a less annoying Ria would appreacited.
