Ubell Blatt is super dumb, the edgiest shittiest schlock.
I love it.
Story - 4
The story is a pretty standard revenge plot, give the royalties to Monsieur Dumas.
In a generic fantasy kingdom with a name I can't pronounce, fourteen heroes set out to defeat the evil magitech kingdom, whsoe name I also cannot pronounce. Exact details are scarce (until the big flashback after the introductory arc), but common knowledge holds that three died along the way, and four betrayed their comrades, lead by the Sword Saint Ascheritt. The evil was vanquished, and the seven surviving heroes return home to fucking bank off of that whole conquering heroes
...
thing.
Twenty years later, a mysterious elfin shota (waif works too I guess) called Koinzell appears in the besieged and lawless frontier of the previously mentioned generic fantasy kingdom. He's strong, fast, an incredible (ly violent) swordsman, and he seems incredibly angry at both the self proclaimed "Four Betrayers" who are attacking the frontier, and the Seven Heroes who saved the kingdom years ago.

The action is pretty good. It isn't particularly weighty, and the gore isn't super extreme, so I'd say 5 out of 10 Miura's.
Character designs are quite good, although in each flashback Ascheritt looks more and more like he's under a little kid than the teen he was originally stated to be.
Backgrounds are alright.
As a seinen manga, there's obligatory tits and heavily censored sex scenes, and they're alright. I thought it was super hot in 2010, but I'd really recommend going for actual hentai instead.
Characters - 4
Koinzell is a pretty generic angry determined revenge type.
Ato (who is antagonist for about five seconds in the introductory act, and Koinzell's sidekick/minion/sort of protege for the rest of series) is a tomboy princess. Her and Koinzell are pretty cute together, and she manages to stay relevant later on, so that's better than some series?
The side characters are also pretty generic. Off the top of my head, only not-Armstrong stood out at all.
The villains are RIDICULOUSLY EVIL. In a hundred plus chapters, only two of them have gotten any real development at all beyond "I was jealous/greedy/raised by a racist/other reason that doesn't justify being a backstabbing murder at all".
One of the four betrayers has a grandkid who works for one of the seven heroes, and he's shown up a bit. Again, quite generic.
Nothing here seemed too terrible, but noting is that amazing.
Enjoyment - 7
Knock-off Berserk with a shota shonen is roughly how I'd describe this show. I liked the EVIL villains, the ridiculously bullshit prowess of the protagonist that gets counterbalanced by him cosntantly getting the shit kicked out of him (not in any ways that really matter, but eh), and the unpronounceable names of the generic but cool setting, with dragon ships and evil magitech and dragons and SWORD MAGIC.
If you want a dark, violent, and honestly pretty immature revenge fantasy, this is the manga for you
