I really wanted to like this, but I am fed up with this garbage.Firstly, the constant reference to manga/anime and the like is so cliche and unnecessary, while many might find it relatable, it's out of place, and doesn't inspire any confidence in both the author and protagonist.Secondly, the premise is ridiculous, he wasn't awake while every other single person on earth was... really? Then this supposedly grand being takes an undue interest in an otherwise ordinary, if not downright hopeless prospect. Why not groom someone who isn't such a pathetic fool? Lastly, the writing rubs me the wrong way, whether it's the first person narration, or transitioning to third person. While, there isn't anything wrong with first person, it's unconventional, and it doesn't help when you alternate to third person. Then there's the dialogue, which when you choose to have the protagonist converse with God, you aren't helping yourself out. The dialogue doesn't convey any depth or intricacy as it pertains to the speaker, which can be a hurdle, but when you have a supposedly nigh-omiscient character, I can't help but find it odd when he speaks as though he is a fledgling preteen. Which is only made worse when you capitalise his dialogue, and also include exclamation marks. I can understand the capitalisation, but unless he is actually shouting, there's no need to insert exclamation marks. Frankly you could've have done neither, and highlighted the manner of speech, either amplitude or depth, with dialogue tags. Overall, terrible characters, terrible writing, the story is a joke, and though I didn't see much of the world, I can only assume it would also be poorly developed.
