This production is of the quality to become one of the cult classics of the harem genre in the future—a complete masterpiece. Even though it doesn't have a very original premise, it's successful in terms of how the story is handled and the plot structure. It's not an extreme success, but it can definitely be considered "good."

The most important thing that sets this harem production apart from others is how well the world settings are arranged. As someone who has watched hundreds of harem anime and read several of its manga, I can say this: the common problem in most harem works is the presence ... of "unjustified and exaggerated interactions." What I mean is that in harem stories, relationships between characters form and develop incredibly fast, even though there's no clear reason—or the reason is too unnecessary to be considered valid.

However, in this series, the fact that only women can gain power in the world, makes the entire cast being female justified, and Kyouka's ability being based on a "reward" principle, all provide a logical foundation for Yuuki's interactions with the female characters. Thanks to this, the sense of artificiality disappears, making it a much more enjoyable work to watch/read.

If I had to offer a negative critique, it's that Yuuki is a bit too passive as a main character and not very interesting. While this is understandable since he lives in a society where men are passive, it would have been far more impactful if he reflected a bit more of the male nature.

This manga is a masterpiece. I saw it while randomly looking for manga, and when the first chapter was a bit clichéd and I thought about leaving it at first because I wasn't in the mood for it, but when I saw the theme of revenge and what happened to naima, I respected the brave attitude of the manga creators and said I would give the manga a chance. At first, when I saw the classic revenge story and the hateful mc who was exiled to dungeon, I thought that they would use revenge as an excuse and swallow to us the classic leveling-themed shounen, ... but after a slightly long introduction, things started to get darker and darker, separated from most productions and turned into a deeper production where all kinds of emotions were processed. As someone who is looking for originality in a manga and waiting for the unexpected, this manga always offered me the unpredictability I always wanted, making me long for it and suffer in 12 chapters. I think it is one of the productions that should be given a chance.
