Writing Quality - 5/5 The reason I have given this score is because despite the fact that the author is trying make this comedy, he doesn't make this overly ridiculous by doing bull****. There is actual writing put into it. Stability of Updates - 5/5 This only started yesterday. There is no reason to cut marks here. Story Development - 4.5/5 So far, story is not what this is about. Therefore, it doesn't matter that story development is not perfect. But, because of the author's other novel, I think we might get some interesting stuff down the line here too. Character Design - 5/5 Jokes aside, character design is well done and you can feel the uniqueness of all the characters. World Background - 4.5/5 So far, so good. I expect something more down the line though.

Well, people do say that laughter is the best medicine, and this novel contains heavy doses of it, which is certainly not bad for health, is it?! If you're an anime fan, then this already enjoyable book will become much more entertaining, cause it's full of references from all those popular anime that you people love. The protagonist-kun is in a league of his own. His meme making skills and monologues (which is his 'special skill' and mind you, don't underestimate it) are frankly epic. He's complemented by an equally amazing cast of characters, whose interactions are downright amusing. I could never get enough of them. The way I see them, they are like the colors in a rainbow -- vivid, vibrant, different and yet play off each other really, really well and as a result, making this such a colorful book! Honestly, it's the type of story that just keeps on improving with each new chapter and is VERY enjoyable and addictive! Trust me, you can't read even a single chapter with a straight face. The comedy is balanced by some tragic elements as well, and those too make an equally big impact on the reader. If anything, I feel like the tragedy is done even better than the comedy, even if the book inclines more towards the latter category.. It took me a while to actually begin to like Irium, but I do love it now, albeit not as much as author-san's other book, which I simply adore to no end. (Gomen ne author-san, gotta be honest here, haha) But anyway, personal preferences aside, Irium, in itself, is definitely a worthy read! If someone is put off by the slightly off-putting nature of the book during the first dozen chapters or so, I HIGHLY recommend you to continue reading, at least until volume 2, to see the true potential of the story. And after that, I don't think anyone can stop reading it, as everything connects and blends in together so well ever since the reader reaches that point. It just shows how multi-talented our author-san is, to be able to write two completely different stories and making them both so amazing. Great job!

Alright, first things first: this novel is hilarious. The author writes in a farcical style so natural that this reviewer is a hundred and one thousand percent jealous of how smoothly the bullsh*t flows. By that, I mean this story is a mass of disjointed references, memes, and jokes that for some reason qualifies a story. But that's not what gets me. What really gets me is: whoever edits this thing is good. Do you know how long I spent looking for ten sins so I could come down on this baby like fire and heavenly vengeance on Sodom and Gomorrah?! (There are actually spelling errors and such, but not more than once every few chapters - eh, lets call those negligible sins. *points at you seriously* I am not a saint.) The main male character is the unholy love-child of the Merc with a Mouth and Kyon of monologuing protagonist fame. He's thrown into a situation that is Oh! My Goddess in reverse, twisted into a ton of Angel/Demon-slash-Goddess/Devil summoning cliches and...marital counseling. No seriously, there is a whole scene that is basically 'How much do I loath thee? Let me count the ways' with a love guru *coughbwahahahacough* in action. Author, you ripped off nearly everything except the Latin Bible? *nods* I can respect the art that is this...masterpiece. *cough* Still, this is a mass of words written by an otaku that may not be understood by those not initiated to the deep and not-at-all-subtle mysteries of the anime fan community. I'd recommend it if your taste or lack thereof, hah, conforms to the above. (This reviewer is of course, a person of impeccable taste, yes, no joke, no really.) Oh yeah, this was supposed to be the first sentence of this very serious review: The main character is Irium Glice and frankly, his life sucks.
