It's disappointing, that's for sure. The initial interest in the premise kept me reading up to Chapter 38. However, I became increasingly frustrated with the storytelling. The first chapter was peculiar, which piqued my curiosity. I generally don't mind illogical actions from characters if they serve their purpose, as it adds depth to their personalities. What I can't stomach is when the author undermines the protagonist's intelligence, despite claiming extensive preparation – a major letdown.
The story started focusing on monster girls, which temporarily distracted me from my annoyance. I viewed the protagonist as a symbol, hoping for the narrative to revolve around their conquest of the monster girl world, as hinted by the title. The introduction of the cruel and pragmatic goddess was a refreshing change, breaking away from the usual portrayal of gods as subservient.
Unfortunately, the plot took a sudden downturn, only to revert back to the norm in the next chapter, leaving me bewildered. I nearly abandoned the book then, but the world-conquest plot involving the monster girls finally picked up. However, the translation quality started deteriorating, making it difficult to distinguish between dialogue and thoughts. The author's descriptions also became vague.
If the author has indeed altered the story based on reader feedback, it seems to have negatively impacted its potential for greatness, steering it towards mediocrity at best. I genuinely hope for a manga adaptation, as they often provide a clearer and more engaging narrative, like in "I Can't Exploit My Slaves Because of Their High Expectations and Evaluation," where the source material struggles with clarity but the manga version shines.
