At first glance this is a Naruto rip-off heavily inspired by Demon Slayer, and you would be right. It's not new, it's not bold, it's just good.

The good stuff about this series are the following: 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐀𝐫𝐭. I believe this is the first manga published by this writer and he quickly found himself a good art style. The paneling is easy to understand apart from a few very small panels which contain dialogue. Some panels are jaw dropping. 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐀𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧. A lot of this series is just the action and it's great and brutal sometimes. 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬. They are hit or miss as the ... story forgets to flesh anyone that isn't one of the three main characters. Even so one of the main characters is still without almost any character development or backstory. But for those that do, they are well driven in their goals and the story often reinforces their goals. 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐃𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐠𝐧. Every character is strikingly different from the other and the fashion they wear is representative of their character. It's goofy sometimes, but I like it. 𝐄𝐦𝐨𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐌𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬. This series isn't all just action and it has some nice emotional moments. I particularly like how some of them are visualized as we see the inner struggles of the characters.

The bad stuff about this series are the following: 𝐄𝐱𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧. It's shotty at best. Long, boring ramblings and uninteresting lore. Exposition comes right in the middle of fights when they could have come before. 𝐍𝐚𝐦𝐞𝐬. This one is minor, but a lot of people share this sentiment. There are too many complicated names. Among the long exposition you have the memorize these long ass names which are Chinese. 𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐥𝐝𝐛𝐮𝐢𝐥𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠. I don't particularly like the world building in this series. The magic system is poorly explained and made up of a combination of different shonen magic systems which falls into this mess of doing whatever looks cool. The world-building itself is boring and the world doesn't feel like it was built around the rules of this world. One thing I do like is how the characters are so highly out of league with the powerful forces in this world. 𝐕𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐬. They are crudely one dimensional and I swear I've seen them elsewhere.

It's binge worthy so far just for art and action, but It's nothing great. In between a 6.5 or a 7 so far, yet it has potential.
