Now before anything, i wanna make this clear: It's been a while since I've started reading this and i noticed that very few people seem to express their appreciation, really unfortunate, especially when some 'authors' like ghostyz and akikan who write stuff out of their buttholes still get that much popularity and interaction, it is concerning...
Anyway,
The story is one of the few fanfictions on this platform that I really enjoyed reading and actually liked the main character who the story revolves around.
Now, if you're still in the early chapters, you'll probably think that I'm smoking something to write such a review, but no, it really does improve and everything is properly explained, don't be like me who let this hidden gem rot in his collection because of judging too fast...
While the story might start confusing and be a bit annoying sometimes at first because of the main character being too carefree for his own good and how he ignored a few obvious hints, it's explained why such thing would even happen and it's also solved after the end of Charlotte's arc. You'll be given the information required to deduce the reasoning, so you only need a brain to figure it out and then you'll really like the main character starting from that point because everything takes a different turn from the 2nd arc, which is High School DxD with Crossovers, and there's a plot!
It's not that Exalf(Author) just put everything in a mixer then said "nah, **** it, imma make a wish fulfillment novel" and produced some kind of trashy shit as a result, but there's an actual plot, a goal, and the novel seems to have so much thought and mental power invested in it, yet you still won't find a "Huge Pa treon Deal" suddenly popping up like a boogie-man and targeting your ass-hole.
Now, all of that aside:
-Writing Quality: There's almost no grammatical errors and you can actually read it without getting your brain fried trying to figure out what the **** everything means...so you'll be using that spare mental energy for figuring out the plot and trying to predict the upcoming events using the hints dropped in each chapter...
-Story Development: It really has great development, like, you'll finally find that it has a plot of its own and isn't just following the original canon, yeah not exactly what happened in the early chapters ofbCharlotte because the changes and improvements were in the latter stages of the arc, but the following arcs are really great, [Btw, Minor Spoiler Incoming...] especially DxD with the crossovers or more accurately, 'The Rift'.
There was a plan followed, and it was really great, not just rereading the canon all over again like how most 'authors' of DxD fanfictions do...
-Character Design: I think I've praised the main character previously, so let me explain why, well, the main character's alignment is chaotic neutral, if you're not familiar with the alignment system, then in simpler terms, chaotic neutral means "i do what i want, but i have a bottom line", the bottom line isn't the laws but his personal morals, sanity and needs. So you should expect a bold main character who knows what he wants, not a xianxia retard who'll commit a genocide because someone made eye contact with him nor a japanese little boi who'll blush left and right every single second, be 'clueless' about the girls' affection or act like a 'beta-bitch' as they call it here...
Speaking of the harem, now...take a deep breath...the author is....a certified lolicon...just like mys—now hold on and let me explain, it's all legal work...
But seriously, the harem mostly consists of legal and ancient 'lolis' such as Koneko and Ophis, however that doesn't mean that there are no other types, as along the story, the harem gets to include at least one or more of each type and the balance starts to appears, so not only lolis, there are milfs, yanderes, sane-tsunderes, kuuderes, danderea, and there's even around five sisters/step-sisters till now...though unfortunately, it's not literally Wincest in 'essence' but i won't explain why because that would be considered as spoilers and i won't spoil for obvious reasons...
So as I was saying, you'll definitely be satisfied and might even get sweetness-diabetes from the cuteness of the lolis—now put that phone down and don't call the fbi, there's only legal/ancient lolis here...
-Updating Stability: Consistently one chapter a day to keep your boredom away, though only till you finish it and the 'hunger for more' phenomenon occurs...
And finally,
-World-Background: Like i said many times, there's a plot, there's a plan, there's gold, everything is nice and cool. The complementary world building is great and there's world-travel not world-jumping, hope you know the difference...
So anyway, go and read it, survive the early chapters, and then everything will prove its greatness and worth to you. The novel may not be from the greatest three of all-time, but it certainly is the top ten in my humble opinion.
Also, don't forget to leave a review and some comments here and there to make the author feel that it's worth the effort because he doesn't really get any materialistic win out of this, such thing is very very rare these days...Now Go!
