I like video games, so I had high hopes for this series, but they were quickly dashed. The protagonist is a typical Mary Sue character. His sole flaw is being too nice and amazing a guy. No, I did not make that up. Nice and amazing is why this professional player is penniless despite being a "god" among men. Quanzhi Gaoshou is about this amazing guy who, when others don't recognize his amazingness, leaves the rockstar-like existence that is professional video games behind and lands a job where he plays his favorite video game full time. He starts a new character and continues doing amazing ... things.

Storywise, this series is extremely shallow. There is no real conflict, since there's nothing the main character can't do. Supporting characters are likewise one dimensional. Each exemplifies a single quirk serving only to throw the hero's dignified stoicism into sharp relief. Bad guys are people who frown, and they are bad solely because they don't like the amazing MC's amazing amazingness or appreciate his sandbagging.

Actual animation quality is abysmal. "Real World" CGI shots look like they came from the 1990s. In-game CGI is better, but nothing special. Action scenes are split evenly between in-game and real world viewpoints. Real world action shots consist solely of...typing on keyboards. Occasionally a mouse gets moved. Yes, typing gets just as much screentime as in-game PvP action. In both cases, assets are reused frequently, ofttimes within the same episode.

The soundtrack isn't terrible, but isn't good either. Synthesized stuff you can hear anywhere.

Taken as a whole, this was clearly a low budget production. That's not a bad thing in and of itself, but this show fails at every turn. Plot, characters, and setting are all terrible. This is one of the worst series I've ever seen. I can not recommend it to anyone.

This story about High School vampires manages to be both funny and insightful.

I watched the anime some time ago. After reading this I'm impressed how much better the manga is. The story is enjoyable, well paced, and ends on a satisfying note complete with "happily ever after" extended coda. A romcom aspect is present but plays second fiddle to meaningful and insightful issues. Secondary characters are one dimensional, but with so much page time given to fleshing out the main cast it's forgivable. Artwork isn't amazing, but sufficient to the task. It shows what happens where quite nicely.

My final take? This series starts with a ... good story. Nothing is spectacular, but with such a solid foundation it doesn't need to be. I enjoyed this series very much. It wrapped up nicely, but if there were a sequel I'd definitely check it out.

This starts off as an interesting vampire series, but winds up falling flat. Conflict between vampires and church isn't new, but this manga takes everything as given and never develops the theme DESPITE Vampire vs. Church being the main source of conflict. The manga abruptly switches to Man vs. Vampire for the final arc's conflict, but again nothing is explained, resolved, or changed.

The world, which is genuinely interesting, isn't explored at all beyond two small locales. Characters randomly appear and disappear with neither rhyme nor reason. The MCs past is explored only in flashbacks and lots of exposition. The vampiric female lead's motivations are never ... voiced. The final "resolution" is a total cop out and in the end I'm not sure what the heck happened.

Some ancillary characters are hard to tell apart, but on the whole people are well drawn. Backgrounds are sketchy, but are good enough to show what goes on on where.

Ecchi content is solely of the "stumble over nothing and fall in someone's crotch/breasts" variety. It adds nothing to the story and only looks out of place.

I'd revisit this series if it were rebooted with better storytelling, but don't particularly want to see a continuation. I think this was originally meant as a longer series, but between sloppy storytelling, both unintentional and enforced by no-doubt impending cancellation, and all the loose ends I can't call this anything but bad.

This story revolves around a spirit fox bound to a human male. It's a relatively short story, but moves along at a solid pace and provides some closure. It's not great, but this manga was clearly meant to build a world and fill things out later.

There's not a lot of time for character development and most characters come off as bland.

The artwork is decent enough. Backgrounds aren't very detailed, but I can always tell what's going on and who says what.

There is a lot of "stumble and fall into someone's breasts/crotch" ecchiness. Rather than complementing the story it distracts. It's crass, out of place, and ... serves no purpose.

All-in-all it's a decent enough manga. I love books and the notion of an infinite library residing within someone is seductive. I was a little disappointed upon reaching the end and discovering no more chapters. This series introduced an intriguing world and fed my imagination. I'd like to read more about this universe.

Kitsune would be a better series if it were longer and spent time fleshing out its inhabitants. Unfortunately worlds are prematurely discarded all the time. This is an abandoned world. It had the potential for more, but in its current state Kitsune is only average.
