Writing Quality 5 stars. Stability of updates 1 star (Author just vanished for two weeks without a word, this is possibly even dropped at this point, even before then the chapters updates were pretty sparse) Story Development 3 stars (it's an interesting original novel but it's not what the genre dictates as this is in no way 'anime' or even a 'fanfic' I'd give this 4 stars if this removed the DxD, RoR and Anime baiting to get people to read it when it's unrelated to the actual novel that's here) Character Design 3 stars (honestly some of the side characters in this are interesting and rather entertaining with their own quirks and life going on in the background but the MC and his immediate family are basically defined by their tropes and/or divinity so one is just the fool of the group, another is the joker that hits on everything that moves, the father and uncle that only see everyone as tools for personal gain/alliances etc which is a shame. The MC himself is a guy that likes to invent and find food before their time due to his memories of the 21st century, he is aimless and does things just to pass time due to boredom and wants to gain strength and flips out if someone harms those he cares about so basically shonen protagonist #69420 who turns into a completely different person who is incredibly violent when drunk and also has a berserker mode where he loses control and forgets everything that happens which is not something I particularly like to see in an MC) World Background 4 stars (It's a good 'original' world created with many pantheons and gods with unique and rather interesting personalities and their background are very close to the real world mythos) People looking for a DxD fanfic and not an original novel should avoid this as It's not even DxD, any character that existed in DxD do not act the way they do in DxD (granted it's a long time before canon but it doesn't really cut it when everyone and everything is different with many added pantheons and gods from outside DxD) this is an original novel that follows real world mythos rather closely and is in no way related to DxD at present, not only are each and every character behaving different but the author also lists pictures for the characters he introduces and they all have a realistic movie/fantasy feel to them and in no way an anime one. I can best compare this to Annihilation Maker DxD with how irrelevant both DxD and AM are in that novel. This is certainly worth a read if you are looking for an original novel with a rather strong mc (he's far from the strongest beings however, just the strongest in his weak pantheon at present) the 'romance' isn't really romantic as it's basically the typical, get drunk and wake up next to a girl kind of situation where they remain friends but mc remains a brick wall despite the girl having feelings for him. The world being created and the mythos explored is rather interesting as well if you enjoy tales of myth, just don't expect this to be a fanfic with proper romance and you can certainly enjoy the novel. PS. For those that dislike forced historical events despite things going very differently due to mc's actions then it's best avoiding this as this novel has the whole 'Fate Goddess' aspect where they have tied events that are meant to happen with the MC's actions so things will still happen regardless, like if a flood happened due to some event, this time it would occur due to some butterfly effect of the mc but still have the exact same outcome.

Hit it on the head. I liked this story until the mc befriended the rapist gilgamesh. Literally wrote in that he would force a women to sleep with him first on their wedding night by law. Also would randomly just take women and force them to sleep with him. Thats the kinda of person that deserves a beating not toasting and friendship.
