Ok. I am bored as heck, and so, I decided to make a proper review of this without being biased. Story - 4.6/5 Characters - 4.8/5 World Building - 4.4/5 Romance - 4.6/5 (smut) Writing - 4.9/5 _________________________________________________________________________________________________ Ok, so here is a little summary of the book so far: MC is born with an unknown mutation that makes his body pretty interesting for scientists. Long story short, he becomes a lab rat for years, dies, meets a "system", and goes into the world of Danmachi. Now for the story:- One word - Mysterious. It's basically about going from one world to another. Why? In order to get stronger. Why? To go to another world. Why? To save a certain someone. Now the mysterious part. It's the MC's mother as well as the MC himself. What is he and what is she? Why is his body made up of certain energy and why is he able to travel from one world to another. Simply put, the ability wasn't just handed to him by some god, or it happened randomly. There is something set in motion. You could say, gears of fate turning. The plot itself does feel a bit TOO slow at times, but it manages to pick up later on. Characters:- A really good portrayal of the characters. This is a fanfiction at its core, yet it doesn't follow the plot AT ALL. The MC is in the world of Danmachi years before the plot of canon begins. What does this have to with characters? Well, have you wondered what the characters would be like if the dumbo-harem-aura didn't affect their personality? Well, this is it. MC does get to have a relationship with the girls, but that doesn't affect their personality. Each girl acts in their own unique way and no stuff like "everyone did (insert comedic/dramatic reaction)." The characters are properly fleshed out, and if you pay attention to the core of their personality, there is a portrayal of the weakness of all sentient beings. World-Building:- I don't need to say much about this one. It's a fanfic, basically borrowed worlds. The author describes it well and tries to show a clear image of what it's like. In the end, though, it mostly depends on whether you've seen the original anime/ played the original VN. Romance:- This one's a tough one to describe. How do I put it, "MC loves to love, and his partners love being loved." Basically that. MC is mentally unstable due to what he's gone through in his past life. This makes it very hard for him to differentiate between a lot of stuff. (eg. love & like). This makes the relationships seem almost unnatural, but you mustn't forget that the world isn't Earth. The girls in the anime are totally different from the monstrosities here. It isn't the MC that is mentally unstable. Most of the girls he's with have been through SOMETHING. They all have a past, a wish, and a dream. Also, lots of smut. Writing:- Very good. Mistakes are kept to a minimum and the grammar is fantastic. No headaches while reading. Chapters are also pretty long.

No Yaoi and no NTR. Those were just trolls making tags, back in the days when readers could give books tags of their own.

That matter you are speaking of is too complicated to be summerized, especially in this case since I try to avoid spoiling. The buildup is important for readers to understand its meaning. I'll admit it though, I was more than a little pissed about that part, to the point I dropped the book for a month or so. By then, I gave it another go, and that part started to make sense, albeit a little. For NTR, a relationship needs to be established between someone who's in a relationship with someone different than their significant other. Which in the part you're speaking of is not the case. Once again, please think of it in a more professional way before letting your feelings get the best of you, lest you prevent others from reading an otherwise enjoyable book.

Thankfully, the author doesn't mention that matter all that much later on, so you're good to go. Before I begin, I must say: I try my best to keep my reviews and replies as professional and unbiased as possible, so I'll try to explain to you the reasons for Freya's obligatory relationship establishment from a neutral POV as best as I can. (As you guys have spoiled these parts, I'll just summarize the whole thing up, as hard as it may be.) If you've seen/read Danmachi, you'd know of the several factions that are in the world. Out of those, Freya's faction is known to be the strongest. The reason for that is mostly because Freya is a power-seeking individual. Now, what would such an individual when she discovers that she could conceive a baby with an individual that would be beyond strong? Simple - Do whatever it takes to get it done. So, she tries to that, however, the other "important" females prevent that from occurring. Despite their best attempts in doing so, Freya would eventually lose her patience and attempt to get what she seeks through extreme means, which is not good for the MC and his allies. Why? Well, Freya's faction is known for its strength, so imagine what it would be like if a war began. Basically too many risks forced them to compromise. From there when Freya gets what she wants, things start to develop in a way she never imagined. And it's at THAT point that a relationship sprouts, which is way after the aforementioned events (including the matter with Ottar). A little note: No book is perfect. There always is some part that you'd hate, or at least not enjoy as much as the other parts. This means that if you decide to not read books based on such things, you'll be having a hard time in the future when it comes to reading. Thank you for taking the time to read this, I hope you have a good day/night.

I understand what are you saying but do you really believe for a empire to establish there will be no war . And mc have some serious level potential + power if he trains seriously for About 2 to 3 years what can even freya do against mc . Mc can just destroy freya for all we care . Look in his harem there was even prostitute worker but I am fine with her cause she didn't cheat on mc and her past was forced . But freya hell no . Yeah if you are thinking professional neutral point of view you should also think about some people triggering at such situations.

There is no NTR situation, no matter how much you try to twist the context. I left the comments that actually made sense and I'm so tired of hearing people talk about the Freya situation. It upset you, sure, but that is no reason to inflate it to a level and literally fabricate facts to try and justify your bias. Whether or not I'm worthy of respect has no relevance. I'm not trying to earn the respect of people who don't even read the novel. I'm trying to write a story people enjoy. Stop trying to ruin the experience for others. All you do is regurgitate platitudes and pretend like you have some moral high ground to stand on despite the fact I have never even once tried to elevate myself and act egotistically. I just don't tolerate people making **** up just to spread negativity.

Chill, mate. Remain calm when having a discussion. I've been a part of several discussion boards and I can confidently state that the one thing that is frowned upon the most is unreasonable statements made rashly. There are various things that would cause someone to say things with no base. Your case being one of them (the situation). There all sorts of way to show your dissatisfaction, however, what you did a while ago isn't a proper one with all due respect. Insulting authors for their work is the one thing that I find intolerable. So, please refrain from doing that. That said, I'm sure Ein wouldn't delete comments that are properly discussing the context of the book and don't have unnecessary emotions in them. Just keep calm and discuss things without mentioning things like "respect" and "ego". If you're dissatisfied with something, you may go and write a review of your own without spoiling things and making rash statements. Even then, you can't write baseless statements, as that's simply ranting and not reviewing. Note: A comment section is supposed to be simple and not a place to hate all you want on something. Do not take my words harshly. It's just how it is. Thank you for your understanding.

Whatever I don't care anymore about your story. I am unsatisfied because i liked your story then . And the way you have written that situation reading that the first thing comes to mind is ntr . Yeah I will not think that was ntr if mc and freya didn't know that they are going to be together in the future especially vahn he knows that she was going to be his wife and he even have a daughter with her but he still helps her becoming pregnant with another man. I mean why don't mc pregnant her at that time if she want a baby . That's some serious drama which I didn't enjoy . Author I am not saying your work is bad hell it's good I even said that to my comments which you have deleted unreasonably I just wanna want people know about freya's situation the then there will be no naggings about her to you In the future . As guys like me can be very triggered in situation the like of freya's. But you have to get it that deleting comments like this will make many people angry at you .

I had plenty of reasons. And no, you aren't letting them know about her situation. You are forcing your incorrect interpretation and opinion upon them. How about, instead of telling me how deleting comments will make people angry, you think about the content of the comments you are making? You place all the burden on me, completely ignoring the fact you are the problem. Why must I tolerate you making **** up and trying to deter other people from reading a novel you already dropped? What value do your lies have other than inflating your own ego and making you feel better? Everything you've said about Freya is based on a mistaken interpretation and you superimposing your expectations onto the novel. There is contextual evidence to support everything that happened, and, while it might not have been a pleasant development, that doesn't matter in the slightest. You are so consumed by your own bias that you disregard more than a thousand chapters for no better reason than self-pandering.

It's usually worse. He isn't nearly as bad as the people who have literally tried to get me fired from my job or had my patreon taken down. It's always the people spewing platitudes and calling you egotistical that end up being some of the most disgusting and petty human beings imaginable.

Freya never played that pivotal a role in the story. If you had read on, you would have gotten over it very quickly.

I will try but then I have to read it from the start but since you told me now that she doesn't play an important role I will try again to start reading . At least you have told me about her situation before I asked you about her you just completely ignore me that's also one of the reason I drop it . But still thanks.

You can even start reading from the second Record if you want. There would be some context missed but each of the Records stand on their own merits. If you enjoy the story from there, feel free to read it from the beginning after you get caught up. One or two disagreeable elements in a story shouldn't ruin the entire thing.

That's what I've been trying to say. No matter what, unless the story someone reads is written by said person himself/herself, there always is a thing or two that they will find disaggreeable. Dropping a book over such a petty reason is not the brightest thing to do.

I mostly write this just to help people understand some of the premise and not be disappointed if they are looking for something else. Now, this is not a wish fulfillment story about travelling across various anime worlds and fighting and adventuring. This is a story about the life of a 14 year old who has spent his entire life in captivity, being exploited by others . Literally. He was found to have panacea like blood as a newborn and was kept in a research facility since he was like a month old. He has not been loved or cared for at all and is just used as a blood producer. His common sense comes only from animes and mangas. Now, you have to understand is that what he does and how he acts is entirely different from normal considering he is a broken, ignorant child. He does not process emotion as casually as we do and is basically just a giant bleeding heart because of his past. Because of this he will not act like shounen protagonists or wuxia MCs at all. They are hot blooded idiots who like fighting, want women and are usually extremely ambitious. Vahn is none of those. He is someone who has been given a life and freedom and just wants to experience it. To him, fighting is a nuisance and despite his claims of being a battle junkie, does not like having fights to the death. He does want to explore, but he has no urgent desire to make it his immediate goal. Understand that this is a rather realistic story of Vahn's growth despite the fantasy tag. He mostly just wants to live in peace and love because of the fact he never had it for the first 14 years of his life. He appreciates it. Some of you like to think of him as a generic japanese protagonist but thing is he grew up watching them as well as suffering great injustice so he has an actual reason to be so merciful. If you expect an MC that goes around all excited and battle hungry or has some vague reason to become the strongest, this is not it. Also, I'll just adress another issue that is going to come up as you progress. He has a huge harem. As in over a dozen girls after the first 100 chapters or so. And the reason for this is because he is a capable male that is highly empathetic and thus becomes attractive to most women who live in a rather shitty world. Also, since he himself has no resistance to others, he accepts basically everyone. He craves love and if someone gives it he'll take her. So yeah, it can become rather unbearable to watch him forsake higher power just to mess around with the harem members and basically start a slice of life but if he doesn't do this, it would be highly unrealistic. This is not a one dimensional novel about fighting progressively stronger enemies and becoming the greatest of them all for no particular reason and neither is it for exploring universes and collecting women. It's about a shattered person trying to enjoy life and fulfill his desires. He wants to explore but won't just leave his family behind for it. He wants to become strong but won't neglect his reason for becoming strong for it. I hope you found this useful.

Writing Quality: 5/5 - While there are occasional typos, ****y tiny grammatical errors or punctuation errors, they do not detract from the story in any way. The writing is excellent and just draws you in. Stability of Updates: 5/5 - The author pumps out chapters like a madman all in order to feed the addicted souls he has created. 'Nuff said. Story Development: 5/5 - The story starts with a nieve and broken main character, Vahn, and through interactions with the world and the characters in it, he grows. Vahn still has a lot of growing to do and I, personally, look forward to seeing the man that Vahn will grow into. Character Design: 4/5 - I would love to give the author 5/5 stars just for the design of Vahn, but I prefer to be honest and forthright. Because this is a fan-fiction many of the main characters were already designed by the original author of DanMachi. That said, Einlion takes those pre-existing characters and completely makes them his own without violating the source material. While reading this story you will be hard pressed to find any reason to complain about the use of the pre-existing characters, their reactions, or their believability. World Background: 4/5 - Again, I would love to make this 5/5 stars, but the story takes place in a pre-existing world. Just like the characters though, the world is not violated or discarded it is embraced and honored. Fan-fictions are a tough genre to write in, you have to take a world and characters that already exist, and are loved, then make them your own while writing your own story. Einlion does this exceptionally well and is crafting an amazing story that follows a unique and amazing character. The only thing I could possibly complain about is that I found this novel now instead of a year from now, I can't binge read it nearly enough. On a final note, if you are a fan of DanMachi, or anime in general, and looking for a story with a unique and entertaining main character than I strongly recommend reading this story.

Dude.... You are writting an amazing world here... the quality of the writting is excellent and i dont believe i have found any mistake, the character development is marvelous dude... each individual character is seen as a person with alll their characteristics. About the development of the story, while i find that its somewhat... well, really fast paced i would like it to slow down. Its like you want to climb a mountain but you dont go by foot but by helicopter. So far the MC is soul tier 2 and tier 9 is the highest known currently since the path is an artifact lvl 9, if mc goes to soul tier 3 to fast it will make things feel rushed. Now speaking of danmachi, to be honest i would find it a waste should the MC leave, currently danmachi is cataloged as 1-4.... But a way exist to make it 1-5 and so on i believe. So it would be awesome if the world can level up too, and there exist the posiblity of even mixing up worlds with portals so as to make that MC could come and go between worlds. Even the MC could get a portal skill to come back to Hephaestus and the others. IT would be awesome if you can make it with the help of MC that people can go beyond lvl 7, which is ottar from the freya family and reach lvl 8 or higher. I say it again, it would be a huge waste and terrible mistake in my opinion to leave behind danmachi should the mc go to another world. This is beacause danmachi universe didnt existed before the mc went inside, the path i believe created that world, gods and all. So its fine to think that the path has the ability to make universes that are weaker than it, who says you cant make other universes and mix them up? Even more you can put it that inside the laberith is a portal to another world too, and to make things easier it was found a portal in floor 60 for example that can send you back to the surface or from the surface to floor 60 if you have reached it.

This story is one of my most favorites that I have ever read, from Royalroad to Webnovel, I've been reading stories for years. I've loved how this story showed me the gradual change in the MC, how his hard work made him grow stronger physically and mentally, however unfortunately, the story ended up following the usual harem template... I'm not saying that harem stories are bad, in fact I love a lot of stories like that, however when every character introduced is a romantic interest.. no, more like a sure fact that the character is immediately gonna join his harem... Because for some unknown reasons they immediately fall in love with him and act the same way as every girl that has feelings for him, relationships between the MC and the female characters are either Harem member, possible and future harem member and non-harem member, not a single friendly relation. The story quickly became bland. Also there's no friendship between the MC and any other Male character, in fact there's not a single interesting guy that the MC can befriend. The weird fact is how the female characters always end up falling in love with the MC in a matter of days, there's no developing and gradual romance in this story with the exception of veeerrrryyy few... I like some of the girls because of their personalities and gradual development, however for most of them, they just pop out like popcorns and the MC ACCEPTS every single girl that says "I Love You" as if they've had enough interactions to fall in love... and he can never say no. I love this story, this is why I'm frustrated with how it is developing. .. though I'll keep reading hoping that it'll get better, I'm just sad it developed that way.

The story started out quite well, it was interesting, it had action, but it turned to sh*t at the 200 or so chapter mark. I mean don't get me wrong, your writing quality and updates are still awesome, but the way you introduced the heroine's from Danmachi was in a word slutty. They became generic Dating Sim gals on easy mode. They easily- no brainlessly fell for a pathetic guy who can "Emphatize" with them. In 3 mere months nonetheless. (F*ck! I can do that, hold my beer) I won't go into anymore details about this as I've already read a few reviews that were more specific about this topic. As for Vahn, I just plainly don't like him. You have great skills author, but Vahn is ****. He's just a cheap knock off of Bell. Without his plot armor "The path" he can't even compare. He's just a sad child that didn't know how to belong in the world, but somehow became a great socialite that could get every heroine(although braindead) to bed with only a few interactions. Give an autistic person a chance to reincarnate as a normal one, then give him "The Path", a handsome face and a large dick. I guarantee he'll do a better job than this faggot. Anyways, Writing quality - 5 Stability in updates - 5 Story Development - 1 (because 7/10 chapters are more on Vahn's daily life flirting with who knows how many girls especially in the early chapters) Character Design - 1 (You designed Vahn enough said) World Background - 1 (Danmachi is a great world don't get me wrong, but it's nothing new. I already read about it in the original don't want to read the same thing here) Overall : 2.6 Little advice bro, criticism isn't bad, you can learn and grow from them. But if you insist that everyone is wrong and you are right then you'll never be number 1.
