Incredibly bland. That is how I would summarise this story. Mind numbing start with a lifeless mc who, I admit, does get a bit more tolerable over the course of the story, yet simply feels like a more mature, not stupid yuji. There is no individuality to him at all. The power progression is good, if put in a vacuum. Give it context and the battles are TERRIBLE. Excessively drawn out so as to keep cannon the same. He doesn't learn from his mistakes, yaps constantly, no sense of urgency when he should know better, doesn't capitalise on opportunities, and then complains when shit doesn't go his way. No planning before the shibuya incident at all that could circumvent 90% of the problems he encountered. Would background is not expanded on at all, and the world feels incredibly small. The writing quality is average, nothing much to say there. I found myself skipping the next three chapters the moment kinjaku appeared (during yuji and mahito fight), it was so forced that I couldn't bear to read it. So overall, a bit below average in terms of plot (however little there is lol) with acceptable writing quality and a lacklustre mc who doesn't seem to impact the story at all even with his tremendous boost in power compared to Canon yuji. Very disappointing, but expected.
