THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS. MASSIVE SPOILERS FROM THE FIRST NOVEL.
Just a forewarning: This is a spur of the moment review. I woke up and just thought I had to write this review, so it's unorganized like hell. It's not the best, but please take it somewhat seriously. Also, why does this not have a harem tag?
I am okay with dark fantasy. I am okay with story rape. I am okay with overpowered protagonists. I just think this author could've done it better.
To me, this just feels like an author's rape/power fantasy off of wattpad or similar. The story in the beginning of volume 1 felt
...
great, a great premise, but what came after was full of terrible ideas and bad (Not horrible. Bad.) writing.
My first gripe was about his powers. He receives "Jade Eyes" which lets him see the stats of everyone without a power. He received it because he "knew" when and where a spirit would appear that would give it to him, which just so happened to be 5 days before he was taken away. Yeah it's an okay power, not OP, but couldn't there have been a better way for him to get it?
He then went on to showcase his healing magic, receiving trauma from the memories he consumed from those he healed. That's actually a nice point. So far, the only good part of his powers that actually fit his HEALING role.
Afterwards he got powers that could literally transform his body, rearrange his skill points, take powers and EXP from others, change magical items attributes, one hit KO people... Tell me, how is this a healing mage? Yes he's a hero as well, but this still far exceeds a "healing" mage.
Another part is the overuse of rape. Yeah, it's part of the story and all that, but it still could be toned down more. It felt like an erotic novel I was reading. Females and males are given power by heros by drinking their bodily fluids, most notably cum. The MC was raped over 5+ times in the first 50 pages. He then escaped due to some OP magic, raped a princess, and basically made her his sex slave. Afterwards, escaping to another city he bought a slave that was a beast girl. A. 12. Year. Old. He then proceeded to have sex with her so she could gain power.
Story: 3/10
Art: 6/10
Character: 3/10
Enjoyment: 4/10
Overall: 4/10
Afterthought:
As I said, this is a glorified rape fantasy. I was actually pretty excited to start reading it but my expectations were shot down and I did not enjoy it. I may read farther at a later date, but I most likely will not.
I suggest avoiding this light novel at all costs as to not waste your time. There are way better light novels you can spend your time on, that have actually great stories. I suggest Mushoku Tensei.
