tldr, read it, it's good

Criminally underrated, the excitement this manga provides is soooo much higher than the average stuff coming out recently. It makes me want to cry that this isn't going to be a long running series, I would happily pay for even just another volume. The thing that really makes this manga stand out is the characters unlikeable, likeable, they're all incredibly interesting. I'm a sucker for any manga that focuses on the villain more than the hero, but the more neutral already lost demon lord in this one brings so much to the story. The relationship the protagonist has with his parents ... and how lonely he is truly is remarkable. I'm so sad bro...

If you are looking at this review I just want to say this is not a complete story. I don't know the specifics but it was axed at chapter 18. The story ends before it can actually solidify itself. However the setup for the main story are still worth reading. So if you can bear reading an unfinished piece of work it's worth a shot. The best chapter is 10 so I recommend at least read to that chapter, as its pretty unique and a decent twist.

Overall its quite unfortunate that this got axed as it had a good premise and a nice twist. It ... is adapted from a web novel, so if u are really interested you can check that out, although I can't comment on how good that is as I haven't read it myself.

This will be my very first review on MAL.

This manga is just outright perfect! The tension it builds up to chapter 10 is really fricking good, and seeing chapter 10 was so relieving, sad and just puts a smile to my face whenever I reread it, the character of eirth or earth in the light novel is just fantastic, seeing him improve and work hard to achieve the approval of the masses is so inspiring. ...

This is also the very first manga that just put me to tears since I relate to the eirth in a way, but if you're here, please read this! It deserves more recognition that it has right now.

Overall I enjoyed this manga very very much!

Honestly This manga has so much potential its killing me. The way it builds up so perfectly to chapter 10, and then executing a reveal in such an unpredictable and astounding manner left me itching for more.

Its still early to call anything but I truly think this could be a gem of a series with the way its going. I don't have too much to talk about as again it is very early, but I highly recommend picking this one up simply because of that chapter 10 grand slam.

The characters and story are what drive the series, each one stands out in their respective ... area, but I will admit they are quite stereotypical. However I do believe that the way the characters are used in the story is what makes this manga stand out. I feel a lot of the time characters will be added, given a couple lines every time they show up and only make sense to fill in that stereotypical character. This manga is good at making characters feel like they live in the story, make the reader get truly invested in them and that's what makes the build up, the final reveal all the more worth it.

This manga hits the feels so deep. It's really well-paced and I love it so far! it has a great balance of funny and serious and the story is very well developed. The main character is very relatable and his situation hits me deep and makes me want to cry in pain for him. His development as a character is very well strung out and I love this manga wholeheartedly.

- Overall story 9/10 is very interesting but it is a little generic, though it's done very well hence the high rating.
- Art 9/10 is generic but well done.
- Character 10/10 the main character is ... so well done, his overall story and everything about him I love, there are a few annoying characters but they tie into the story very nicely and the development of the characters is quite 👌.
- Enjoyment 10/10 love this series and overall 9/10.

It is good, love it. It was refreshing to see something new imo. Characters arent distinct except the demon lord he/she is not evil or cunning (yet), and it is refreshing because you dont expect he/she being good toward their killer's son. I enjoyed it. BTW how much is the word limit. I have to keep writting for no reason. yeah. By the way ive heard some bad reviews from LN readers. Though I cant confirm it. Yeah. Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah. Bro how longer am I supposed to write. I like it maybe you can like it too. Ugh ... how long am I supposed to write.

Forbidden Master is a surprisingly charming fantasy story that was a lot better than I initially expected.

I will try to keep this spoiler free but the synoposis is that the our main character is the son of the former hero who wasn't able to live up to the expectations of being the fathers son, but through being able to converse with the former demon lord will be able to get stronger than anyone could ever imagine.

Feels quite generic doesn't it, and yeah it is, but the story succeds in making it's characters likable to a fault as there no antagonists in the 18 chapers that ... were released, but it's quite obvious that they were trying to set up a larger world that we would be able to explore together with our main character.

The art is quite good. It won't make you stop reading to look at the details, but it's none the less quite good looking.

In the end Forbidden Master is like flower the wasn't let to flourish, but still something that I would recommend to anyone looking for a good fantasy and there is allways the webnovel to check out if you want more. I sure will.

Oha- to my own surprise, I have now read through a manga for the first time. Although that was not really difficult, where he has only 19 chapters ...

Before I say much here, you must know that the manga is finished. Not because the story is finished - I rather have the impression that just the introduction is through - but simply because it was not continued after this introduction.
Admittedly, there is still a finale that concludes a story - but it initiates a much larger story at the same time and accordingly it's just an open ending. I don't like that. Even though the ... light novel the manga is based on seems to go on, but I don't want to rate the work in relation to another.

In fact, I think that's a downright bummer, because while the story may initially sound like the generic "weakest shows in the world he's strong" story, it quickly becomes clear here that it's deeper and more complicated. This seems to be about true friendship, love, and ideals - nothing much more unusual than "weakest shows in the world he's strong", but could have been better and more exceptional.

Accordingly, I can't recommend this manga, even though I quite liked it overall.

TL;DR: Generic cookie cutter fanfiction power fantasy exile/underdog/revenge plot. Not worth reading.

It's another Isekai-lite. Like sure the main character isn't from another world, but he has the complete lack of personality you would expect from an isekai protag. Honestly, for the first 10ish chapters this story felt like it had some connective tissue and plot, but then that was thrown out of the window with a rather idiotic decision from our MC. From there the plot is aimless, and then ends at chapter 18 to make you want to go read the LN or something. The story is set up like a revenge plot from ... a Naruto Fanfiction,

Anyways, initial thoughts out of the way.

Art: it's fine. There are some decent panels but nothing that wowed me. 6/10.

Characters: they are not good. There is very little character development for the main character, and every secondary character gets even less. They make decisions based on what the author needed to support their plot, and the decisions made do not make sense. Additionally, even the main character is dumb--he makes decisions that go against *all* of his best interests.

Story is bad. Every plot twist was obvious well in advance, the world building was nonexistent (another country is called... Japone. And has samurai and ninja and eats rice.). With how the manga pivots goals in the second have, world building *needed* to be better. 2/10

If I had to give the story some props... the character designs can be halfway okay (except for the Kirito expy), and the magic tiering system being bit/kilo/mega/giga/tera is pretty unique.

Overall it just does nothing that makes it stand out from the crowd. I could quite easily find fanfiction that told the same story better, longer, and with more enjoyment. Overall, 4/10.
