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.

Got the message the first time, my man. Guess Irene's a favorite for you here. Thanks for the criticism. While I don't particularly agree with some parts, nevertheless it is what you took away from reading the story - so I will respect it all the same. Don't really have much to say other then, I'll work better to provide a better reading experience for everyone. I'm also glad to know that in spite of the qualms you have with the story, that you'll still be reading it. Hopefully, sometime in the future, I'd be able to turn your impression right around.

Sorry about the second comment, when I came to check for any mistakes in the review for some reason it looked like the finishing bit got cut out, so I posted the last bit again... Slow burners are good too, so I'm willing to give it a chance again when more chapters are released =)

If you came here for a JP-like fluffy, comedy, slice-of-life novel about a random dude living with a hot elf, then look no further, cause that's exactly what you'll get....... for a couple of chapters - and then it'll go all in on grim-dark despair. Overall, Elf-story (shortform for this novel's long ass title), is really well written. It has good humor, narration, exposition, pacing, witty dialogue, and multi-dimensional characters with fleshed out backgrounds. So, all's well that ends well? Unfortunately, and this is my personal opinion, the story just got too dark too quickly - and theres too much of it without any sunshine (read:fluff/romance/light heartedness/happy moments/etc). This, combined with a beta, spineless, and indecisive MC (who we never get to know the name of), simply began to annoy me more and more. I came here for a fluffy elf-chan comedy story, then I was pleasantly surprised with deeper and darker plot, but then it became tedious reading about a never evolving relationship, pitifully spineless MC, and constant dark-upon-dark developments, where the story is going from one crisis to another. I hope that in the future plot can include some more romance, where Ash (elf-chan) and MC kiss, make up, do gf+bf stuff - and no, don't tear them apart with some stupid deus-ex machina plot machinations the next chapter to prove their love or some other random bullshit reasoning. Keep them together, and have them develop together for the fluff in the dark. In short, fluff is good, but lately too much dark and crisis combined with a constantly spineless MC is becoming tedious to read.

Slightly confused at what im reading. Im at chapter 205 and literally the world building of this novel leaves much to desire. The premise of the book definitely starts off on a high note but at some point as a reader you literally say aloud “wtf is going on?!”. Theres no foreshadowing to speak of, the mc deviates between natural speech to prim and proper “ye old english” with bits of slang thrown in here and there and to cap it all of… the MC Is the stereotypical beta character who is 90% of his time thinking self deprecating thoughts but “some how” will pull the occasional confidence out nowhere. I find myself asking myself is he weak, irresponsible, secretly clever or just dense. i understand the mechanics of how a flawed character should behave as there are plenty of light novels that have this character motif of weak to strong (i.e second coming of Gluttony, Devils Son in Law, etc) but this MC leaves me literally flabbergasted. Its not a bad novel per se but i feel the MC is tryibg hard at being something he isnt. Eventually i will come back to this book perhaps but for me personally i just think unless you can deal with a typical beta MC who maybe through some past life act of valor (saving a universe, stopping Thanos’s snap, or defeating truck-kun) somehow ended up in a harem but not a harem (as some of the characters are plainly disrespectful or love him for absolutely no reason that can be found at all) that maybe this book isnt for you. Apologies to the author if this criticism is too harsh but im actually trying to temain objective about the failing points while remaining polite. TYVM.
