Overall it’s a pretty decent book, however there are a few things that made me drop the novel: 1. The chapters are just way too short, one chapter is roughly the same size as half a chapter on most novels I read, later I’ll explain why this is particularly bad. 2. The novel goes premium on chapter 14. 3. The pacing is just way too slow, I can appreciate a slow-paced novel when it’s executed right, this one doesn’t do a very good job. The setting (I’ll get more into that later on) set the pace of the story as a very fast paced quasi-action novel, it took him 20 chapters to even leave the initial room of his dungeon, fights and events that are supposed to happen quickly take multiple chapters to complete and those only happen after 20 chapters of non-stop talking. It wouldn’t be so bad if the chapters were long and multiple things happened in each chapter, but they are ludicrously short, like read the first few chapters and you’ll know exactly how short they are, coupled with the slow upload rate and you’ll feel very annoyed very quickly. 4. Boring characters, I’ve already spent way too long on this review so let me speed it up. Characters are static and boring, MC is always the virgin that gets flustered around women that’s also a really cool, calm, calculated leader. The FL is your typical clumsy, shy maid/(*insert any subservient role*). The old guy is the super devoted old butler. Apart from his interactions with the FL none of the characters change or develop. 5. The setting is confusing, the author never establishes the setting, the mc was just transported into the devil world and there are other dungeons out there is all the setting we get, the author never expands on that, up to chapter 45 we know virtually nothing about the outside world, the lack of information doesn’t make the readers curious about the world, it just confuses them whenever there’s a pov change and we’re supposed to figure out what’s going on. That’s about it for complaints, let me praise the novel for a little bit: 1. The writing is pretty good although the author tends to repeat him/herself a lot it’s not that bad. 2. I tried thinking of other positive things so say but I couldn’t think of anything to let’s leave it that. 3. (I wanted to have at least three bullet points so that it looks nicer) Overall the novel is pretty mid, a faster pace would marginally improve the novel, most of my criticisms stem from the snail pacing. Since it goes premium on chapter 14 midway through the prologue I would NOT recommend this novel to others, if the premise interests you read the free chapters and judge from there, using your stones/fast passes on these slow, brief chapters is nothing short of a waste. See what I did there? ;)
