Decent idea. The issue is there is no character development and the MC feels very one dimensional and fake. He immediately romances sona and becomes her fiancé after complaining about the factions within 2 chapters. Romance makes zero sense with this particular character slash reincarnation. All in all, good general idea, poor execution. Remember, if you’re going to do a Gilgamesh story, and not just a gate of Babylon story, you need to make sure it fits with Gilgamesh as a character and develops that way. You would be better off having him change as the story goes on which would provide better realism and pacing.

LIKEthe story hasn't even unfolded yet , but you do you i guess , his character does mesh with gilgamesh well , because he isn't him , well.. not yet i guess , you're given a review way too early , or maybe i should've made the story unfold earlier , either way thank you for reading , and i will try to improve my execution
Honestly him already engaging Sona sucks, you would think a Gilgamesh MC would try to better humanity, create his faction or something new. And of course you choose one of the worst girl of DxD
i chose one of the girls that didn't matter , bc i like her and i want to make her matter, simple , and again idk what you don't understand about this , he's not Gil , he's his own person , he might become like him depending on future events , but now he's Yuuto Ichiou , a reincarnator with Gil's powers , he doesn't sound or act like Gil bc he's not him , he merely acts like him when agitated , and that's power influence , and Gil would never create a faction or better humanity , he's too proud to even care , he would simply treat this world as a vacation and looks for interesting things , and maybe annihilate all the gods as a side quest , don't speak as if you know what would he do , this is uncharted territory , that i merely made one of the possible paths that it could unfold as .
give the guy credit..the story is not perfect but it fun..can someone do better
Have you read that fic of Madara in Avatar? I think that was good
Well if he is is not Gil maybe change the title because the title makes people think they are reading a Gilgamesh story
The story isn’t bad per say, but like one of the other commenters said, if it’s not a Gilgamesh story then you should change the title. That title, at least made me expect Gilgamesh in the DXD world. You could do something like “Reincarnated with Gilgamesh’s Powers” or “DXD Gate of Babylon”. Normally this wouldn’t be an issue if it was another character, but I think becuase Gil is such an iconic character, readers will expect your MC to pretty much BE him based on the title.
like i said , it is early to decide he will be much like Gil a few chapter later , you just need to be patient , remember what Sirzechs said about the Ea and Enkidu , i already said it is a puzzle piece waiting can be beneficial if you want a great story , not everything is a masterpiece and mine certainly isn't i'm just trying to make what i have in mind come to life , and what i have in mind requires build up , i can't be like oh look it's Gil in dxd watch blast everyone to pieces and do nothing else , how is it a dxd story then ? like 95% of the story is about the girls in it , and if the mc doesn't interact with them the way an mc should , then there is no point in choosing this word in the first place
Dude, Gilgamesh ushered the era of man. Why do you think he is the first and oldest heroic spirit? I think you are just talking about Archer Gil, in the lore it was said that as when Enkidu died, Gilgamesh traveled the world to look for a treasure that gives immortality, but when he found it, he realized that he doesn't want immortality, he gave up all the treasures he collected to his people to allow his people to protect themselves only living him with a wand and a book of magic, thus becoming the Prideful, Wise king compared to the Prideful, Arrogant king which is Archer. There's also a Gilgamesh who's a Ruler Class, it was from a game, Ruler Gil got bored in the war and decided to open his own shop.
that true in many ways given Gil's personaltity
Why do you keep putting spaces around punctuation marks and the like? It’s irritating to read and very bad writing.
