CRITICAL REVIEW Read up to current latest release 71/71It's not bad. Very lightnovelish and anime-like written story. I don't really have much to comment about it surprisingly. There's some persona inspiration which is awesome. As for the romance, I can't tell if the mc is being oblivious or is dense. I assume the former. A complaint would be that while I did like it, the heroines seem easy to fall in love with the mc. Ngl it really seems to be resembling a tras*y isekai webnovel. Then again it can technically be excused since it is a dating sim world... but I value realism so it bugs me. As the story progesses the mc also appears to be falling into the shoes of becoming a true generic mc. Please try and avoid that. This is a frequent occurring issue in most 'mob stories', which defeats the purpose of the mob genre. It's hard, so just try and make it so he doesn't seem generic. Another issue I've had is that the novel does seem to kinda rush things somewhat. It kinda gives off the impression of skipping/wandering around with no truly meaningful substantial progress. An example would be when the story introduces Elicia. (Spoiler) Okay so then have an event together and then everything is just glossed over. They are friends I guess? We barely see any interactions which is different from someone like Luna who we see a lot of and see clear development of and most importantly... REASON TO CARE- that's how I express it. It's much like Isabel and Elizabeth where everything feels glossed and not substantial. They don't give me reason to care enough. And its not enough to tell, but you must show it. Luna feels "show" while others feel like "tell".Some spoilers~Grigory is awesome but his prestige falls the further you are in the novel. Perhaps its because of my expectations for him of being like a double-edged sword. The seemingly ominpotent power he brings in exchange for something precious later along the line. Because right now, he's basically a full-on slave for the mc. I had hopes of him being a very nightmare-like being for the mc that hes forced to use. But with the tone of the story and all, Grigory is just likable and comical.Much like my other reviews, I always end by trying to ship.As not all heroines are introduced (I think), I suppose I ship the MC with Elicia since I'm a fan of tragic heroines. Even tho we barely know her.I hope this doesn't end in a harem ending!
