I'm dropping this book. But not for the reasons one would expect. In fact , the story is well-written . The characters I have seen so far( except Amelia) are interseting( even elizabeth’s adopted children), the plot is slowly uncovering and the aventure promises to be exciting! But that said , this book just has too many pet peeves of mine for me to be willing to continue. First , the annoying female companion trope. Really they are not cute! To me they just mess up good books . And the fact that they are reoccuring characters makes it even harder for me to get through a read when such a character is in. Second , the " oups! It’s an opportunity for the perverted ones~" trope. Creating situations to sexualize Mc or other characters just doesn’t sit well with me . It’s not funny, it doesn’t sevre the plot , it takes away some of the charisma of the characters... So I just don’t understand the reason why so many authors like this! As of chapter 23 , there had only been two such scenes. But it was enough for me to understand that the author would continue in the same way. Third ,"all the main girls are sexually/romantically interested in Mc "trope. This is the major reason why I'm dropping this . Seeing as they are in the characters sheets , I get that Elizabeth and amelia are proeminent characters in the story. But it’s such a shame that the author made them both interested romantically in the Mc( or is at least headed this way). That’s why whenever I try to read further and I see Elizabeth is involved , I' m just unable to continue because my heart aches at the sight Of the big wasted potential she is. Can’t there ,for once, be a female main character who is not the mc’s love interest but has a great friendship with him? Neo and Elizabeth 's first meeting , ignited this hope in me. But then they went to sit naked in the divine pond and it just showed the author's intentions. It’s not a bad thing . It’s the author 's choice . The problem lies with me so I'm only expressing my feelings so that others with such pet peeves can be fixed on what to and what not to expect. Aside from all that , I still recommend this strongly to anyone the afore stated things do not annoy. And for the author :May God bless your writing journey !

Well said brother, I feel the same
The same reason why i didn't continue reading this novel. Especially with the Mc recieving holy attribute which doesn't sit well since the Mc has the bloodline of hades. He also has water attribute which was very convenient for the Mc to use the tremor ranked spell he received from the mermaid queen. I don't know why Author's do that , Making things convenient for the Mc. Apparently having the knowledge of the novel and bloodline of hades isn't enough. He's got a System too which showers him with attributes. The thing with Elizabeth really annoyed me too. Like it's really not my thing where every woman falling for mc . Except that story is good. I just wanted to share this information .
thank you for giving my novel a try
I think most people really don’t care to read about a relationship between a second female lead and their male best friend. I at least, legit have no interest. In fact, I could read novels where there is no romance, and still not want to have another male lead in the novel.
