"We are guardians, but also a bunch of miserable wretches that are constantly fighting against threats and madness."
-
Story ★★★★★ - Setting, World-Building, power system and its drawbacks, everything is well built and intricate, at certain times it's even good for you to stop to "digest" what's happening, because it can be a lot of information coming at once XD.
-
Character ★★★★★ - In my humble opinion, all the characters of the "main core" have their development, even more than the same development, come through the "potion" that each one took and the reality that surrounds them, whether in the Nobility or at Sea as a Sailor ... and the interaction with each other.
-
Enjoyment ★★★★★ - Here's a warning, the start is slow, and for some readers it might be BORING, but give it a chance! The setting in the Lovecraft style, with Mystic elements from various cultures, the author created it very intricate, I have no doubt that there was a good research to use as a reference XD! In several moments the work has its moments of tension, those that you think "sh*t happened XD", and the heartbreaking moments are some, but when they come, they come with force :c !
-
General ★★★★★ & 10/10 - This was the WN CN that made me have a little more faith in works of CN origin, the only one I had read so far was Tales of Demon's and Gods, and if you've spent a considerable amount of time in this endeavor as a reader, You must have already come across this disgrace XD, anyway!
I recommend picking it up to read, it's a content that can sometimes be very dense, very relaxing and in some very sad, even more so when it addresses the situation of poor residents, it's heartbreaking :c.

If you read this review thank you very much and may The Fool bless you XD!

I just finished reading it and I hope this review helps you decide whether to give the Manga a chance or not :P

Story: 9.5/10 - The story has a very strong beginning, and after that it continues in small arcs, resolving the characters' "issues" and finally the conclusion of their dreams, as some comments pointed out, the story is very "black in white", forgetting the shades of "grey" in between, it's a valid criticism, but the characters don't deal with these types of people, only the dark side of society, so it's even possible to overlook that part a little .
Furthermore, the setting of the ... Manga is very good, and well detailed by the author, accompanying art that gives even more life to the Manga, and then you wonder why I got the 0.5, FOR ME the development of the last arc left me with a slight bitter taste in the mouth, because of how a "couple" ends, so to speak...
-
Art: 10/10 - I really liked the Art, it sets the tone of the Manga very well.
-
Character: 10/10 - I have no complaints, the entire main cast is very charismatic along with the secondary people who are gradually introduced XD.
-
Overall: 9.5/10 - A story of struggle, overcoming, drama, resilience and willpower to keep living. It has a little bit of everything, of course, as other comments have pointed out, it follows a "formula", which for me wasn't at all uncomfortable, it may be for some, but others may enjoy more of what this work has to offer, and I'll even say more, be an inspiration to move forward.

If you read this review thank you very much and may God bless you!

This review was done on April 26, 2022 on Novel Updates, since MAL posted the Novel I'm just transferring the review here XD.
-
1. Story ★★★ - I took 2 ★, for not having so much interaction with the NPC's, the game being augmented reality could have made the world much more "human", even though "Overgeared" is doing well so far in that department, the same came after the LMS, which overshadowed a bit in this area, the LMS battles are fantastic, the ending I found rushed and therefore "weak", but it was a very good walk XD.
-
2. Character ★★★ - A lot of the characters ... as I remember, had little or no development, Weed and Seoyoon, the rest of the people just orbited around them, as I said before there was here or there, but it was very little.
-
3. Enjoyment ★★★★★ - As I said in the story part, it was a great walk with a rush ending, which is sad, BUT there were a lot of wonderful moments in the work, so I'll give this discount here XD.
-
4. General ★★★★ or 8/10 - I think it's fair, many things I wrote I'm pulling memory, so if you want to refresh my memory in DM, you're very welcome, and as much as the ending is rushed, it doesn't take away the merit of the walk, so if you have the patience and time (since there are a lot of chaps), go for it! XD

I just finished reading it and I hope this review helps you decide whether to give the book a chance or not :P
-
Story ★★★☆ - I really liked the story, simple World-Building, but pleasant to read, the characters are very "believable", I lowered the rating because of the V4 & V5 but then came the V6, V7 and V8...
-
Character ★★☆ - As I said, the characters are very "believable", with the exception of the group that FMC surrounded itself "pre-Isekai", the problem is in the lack of "difficulty" that these people have, the plot-armor gives FMC are them , the staff is a "do it ... all", they don't have difficulties with anything, and all that the FMC asks, they can do, is practically play in "Easy Mode", not that it doesn't have its difficulties, but they dilute it TOO MUCH they.
In relation to other characters, as I said, they are very "believable", I liked their development, and I think it's pretty cool, now... The decision that some took from V4 & V5, is questionable.
-
Art ★★★★★ - They are beautiful, if I have to complain about the Art, it would be the lack of more detailed colored art.
-
Enjoyment ★★☆ - I really thought the idea was cool, I would have liked the Romance of some characters to have been more detailed, as for the City-Building part, as I said, they were "mid" and the romance followed the same path, the political part was very OK too nothing especially, as I said, simple world-building, but pleasant to read.
-
General ★★☆ & 5/10 - I give this note, as it is a more "comfy" story, it has its heavy moments, but as I said, I found the ending to be quite abrupt (V5), and both the Romance and City-Building in LN could have been better developed , also, I found the last 3 volumes very BORING, if I had finished at V5, I would have given it a 7/10, but the other volumes were painful to read, of course this varies from reader to reader ¯\_(ツ)_/ ¯.
-
If you want a more detailed review, I invite you to read my review on NovelUpdates, which I'll put some spoilers in case you're interested! If you read this review thank you very much and may God bless you!

This review will only come out because of the force of my hate and to remind myself never to read another LN & WN with an MC more DENSE than a bag of rocks!
-
Story ★★ - World-Building at the beginning is indeed interesting, how a Matriarchal society deals with men, and how they are treated in society and of course the consequences when a War occurs and their lack of "supply", but of course this is the first Arc , from then on it's just downhill, if the LN ends in the first arch, a 7/10 would even be a valid score, but no... The ... Author has to extend himself in the WORST possible way.
-
Character ★ - And here begins the DOWNHILL, our MC Leon at the beginning wants to be a Mob, he doesn't want to call attention to himself, but it's the cliché that the less attention he wants to have, the more attention he has, being a character who is always reacting to problems, the action moments are even OK and some even cool, the problem is the Romance, and why it exists in this work.... Is the character DENSE? He is denser than adamantium, I don't know why Japanese authors follow this cliché even more when the guy in question is a man in his 30s who was Isekai, it makes no sense, even more so when he has TWO BRIDES at the end of the first arc , there comes a later moment in the story that both want to sleep with him, the same thinking it's a shit test, takes MEDICINE TO SLEEP, did you imagine this scene in your head dear reader? Calm! BECAUSE WORSE, so cowardly, the two BRIDES start kissing at a certain moment (NTR), while our MC is rushing to solve a problem he set for himself, these events I told you are just the end and the middle of the Iceberg, unites its development that is NULL, with its cowardly side both in the romantic issue and in the battle (fear of killing), self-esteem on the ground even more after saving the Kingdom in which it lives, in short it is a COMPLETE PILE OF GARBAGE !
- Of course this is just the MC, what about the other characters? Apart from the quartet that is there for the comedy, which actually works, Maria is an OK character, the Harem girls are nice, but due to the lack of "action" by the MC themselves they turn into a pile of garbage, some characters sidekicks are BETTER than him in that regard.
-
Art - 10/10 is very good!
-
Enjoyment ★★ - As I said, the world-building is really cool in the beginning, the fights are even OK, what drags this into the abyss are the characters.
-
General ★ & 1/10 - Sincerity? Stay away, this LN is not worth wasting time with, because of it I started to hate DENSE characters with all my might, I always look for a review if the story contains romance, so as not to pass this anger and run away again, enough in one level that gives the reader agony, as you read the LN thinking REACT DAMN IT! LOOK AT THESE TWO BEAUTIFUL BLONDES WANTING TO BE WITH YOU AND YOU TAKING MEDICATION TO SLEEP FOR SUCH A COWARD YOU ARE! Anyway, this LN is INTRAGABLE, of course even after the V8 that's where I left off, something happens, the path is very painful and not worth your time.

I just finished reading it and I hope this review helps you decide whether to give the book a chance or not :P
-
Story ★★★★ - A good story, with a world-building that I felt the need to see more of this world, I found the end very abrupt, and that it was slightly rushed at the end, the Magic itself I found the concept and how interesting is used in the work.
-
Character ★★★★ - There are several characters in the work, some do not need development, they serve to move the story along, as much as I like the interaction between Mercenary and Zero, I ... thought he lacked a little development, it was dense until the end work without any need, unlike other works in which the dense character is boring, bordering on unbearable, the Author managed to make him not be those boring MC's that make you want to drop the work, in relation to other characters like Padre and Lily para It was great for me to see their interaction, and especially the development of Father, Lily and some other characters, however small their development was.
When I complain about the development of Mercenary, it's about his relationship with Zero in the sense of "romance", even at the time the Author put this, that their "loving" interaction had been properly developed, because without that Zero could be a man, and it wouldn't have any problem to work.
-
Art ★★★★☆ - 9/10, Zero has the body of a girl from whatever... 13 years old? In certain covers, it is completely out of tune with the art within the work.
-
Enjoyment ★★★ - Precisely because I think the ending was abrupt and we missed seeing more of this world, that's why I give a 6/10 here, interaction with other parts of the world, meeting the other Judges of Dea Ignis, other witches, there was potential in that , and I don't say that the author threw it away, he simply put it aside, or saw no need for it. That's why for me the ending was "slightly" rushed.
-
General ★★★☆ - 7/10, I think it's fair, even more that volume 11 I didn't like, half of the volume with side stores that could have been calmly put in the point it was in the work, of course starting from the point that the Author he already had the story assembled in his head from the beginning, or simply, if he had continued the Epilogue given a more closed ending, half of the last volume the stories there were very thrown, in other words too random for the last volume.

Warning for those who are going to watch it, to have a better idea of the anime, I recommend having played at MINIMUM Legend of Heroes Cold Steel 1 & 2!
-
I rarely do reviews for anime, because I've watched so much stuff and starting to do it for new animes that are coming out makes me lazy, but Legend of Heroes is an exception XD, finally the review!
Even in the discussion threads and in other reviews, the story is rushed, which I already expected being an adaptation of a Region that we didn't even set foot in the game (And also contain only 12 episodes), ... we only heard the events in CS3, so the Falcom saw no need to make a game just for that specific region.
I think that if the media used to tell these events had been a Light Novel or Manga, it would have been better told and less rushed, especially if it had been an LN.
I already expected that the quality in terms of the story would not be "great", but I must say that it is not rubbish as some may complain, in terms of animation, it is pretty decent or honest if you prefer another term, other animes of the season it has average to weak animations, and Kiseki's anime is far from being "trash" in this regard, I could even expect more if it was a Square Enix, which is not the case :P.
It turns out that in the end, the anime is fanservice, of course it's not THE BEST, but it's still one XD, since I went to watch it without expecting much, my hype was low, so I was able to digest the content better.
The biggest problem is that you go watch it with HYPE, expecting a level of game history, compressed into 12 episodes, if you go with that mindset, the anime will definitely be a disappointment, because let's face it, it's impossible to compress something that would have known there about 15h to 30h of gameplay in 12 episodes.

Hey... Do you want to be the protagonist?
-
Story ★★★★ - The story of a man looking to become the protagonist of his own story, and of course his friends and how that influences each of them, from the maniac MC for Imouto (Little Sister), to the most serious and relaxed writer friend, each character is very believable and nice to follow, his personal fears, his fears as professionals, even his doubts about "what to do?" when they leave school, the novel takes most of these characters (because some are simply script tools, aka serve to move the story and don't need a giant back story, ... just one that makes sense) and gives direction to these characters in an organic way I would say, but you wonder why this in question is not a 10/10 for you? Well... The problem is in the characters.
-
Character ★★★★ - I'm going to leave the review as spoiler free as possible, I'm going to do the same review on novelupdates, and there I'm going to go through that part in detail in the spoilers, but speaking in general.
For me, the main core characters that is, the people who frequent Itsuki's apartment deserved both types of development (professional and personal), which does not happen, in the case in question being Haruto, and I was very annoyed by that, in addition to of other details which I simply thought unnecessary is given by the author in the last two volumes (13 & 14), even the details that didn't have much explanation like Nayuta's background to some reasons of Itsuki's Father you could trace why Itsuki's Father acted that way or why Nayuta got bullied and how she got BROKEN like that.
-
Art ★★★★★ - 10/10 very consistent, and beautiful XD.
-
Enjoyment ★★★★★ - It is very pleasant to read, from the Author's beer reviews, to how the Light Novels market works, it gives perspective from both the Writer and the Publisher, and how this moves the industry and its consequences, the effects that an anime can have, to fans giving hate on the internet and the consequences of letting yourself be carried away by them, you can safely say that this novel is the "Shirobako" or "Bakuman" for Light Novels.
Another point is the influence of the characters on the actions of others and their consequences, from the simplest things to more "energetic" actions I would say XD, of course comedy also comes in and you have a good laugh XD.
Another point that you can easily end up getting confused with is dates, I think the author is too lost on this point XD, and you as a reader have to guess where the event X of character X intertwines with character Y and etc...
-
General ★★★★ - I'm honestly going to give an 8/10, for me the work would have been perfect, but the author was a little unnecessary in some points and weak in others. The author's message in the last volume aka Itsuki's speech is very strong, and for me as a reader his message was crystal clear.
Anyway, you who are reading this review, your life can be shit and etc... You can be the protagonist of your life, take it into your own hands and DO IT, and you can end up becoming the protagonist of someone else and giving meaning to it her XD!

BTW CHIHIRO BEST GIRL AND IMOUTO <3!

I just finished LN + Side Story, I hope it helps with your decision to read the work!
-
Story ★★ - The story at the beginning is interesting, due to its proposal, but in my opinion from the middle to the end it is very weak, some volumes wasted with parallel stories, minimal to zero development of the characters and even re-using ideas of character development, I am even thinking that the author did not have that much creativity, the World-Building that due to its PLOT would be extremely interesting but, it is poorly explored. What about the PLOT? Nothing new, for those who are used ... to reading other works, I may be being unfair in this part of the PLOT because it is a bit old, but you think, wow, is that all? Another point is that the author drags too much, repeating details of the character that you are tired of knowing.
-
Character ★★ - For me, it's the weakest part of the work by far, as I mentioned before the characters had little development for none, and one of those class of "None" was the MC, another point, there is romance in the work, but. .. As you expect our MC IS TOO DENSE, but this romance you see from afar that it will happen, but it takes time for the author to start and when it does, it's that annoying LN's Jp's.
-
Enjoyment ★★★ - I really liked the proposal, but as I was reading, the Author barely explored the world, it had so much potential, but you even accept that the focus is on the otaku culture, but not having used it as a way of "spreading the word" to other peoples, they even got into the issue of prejudice between races and it barely touched on the nobility aspect but everything superficial the author didn't even try to explore more of it, besides the author kept repeating himself too much.
-
General ★★ - It's a work with a great proposal, there are much better works out there for you to spend your time, and unfortunately this is not one of them, of course, that depends on how much you've read & watched, if you're used to it with the otaku side in general, you can pass away from this work, unfortunately it's not worth it.

SPOILER AHEAD!
-
-
-
-
-
Story - The author practically took a Sci-Fi PLOT out of his pocket, and shoved it down the reader's throat, do you remember that there was a time when anything was Nanomachines? So... Here we are XD.
-
Character - Of all the characters, some of them only had their decent development in Side Stories, of course the character spoke about his past during serialization, but that was very fleeting and REPEATED for the 2 characters in question, I saw that in this a certain laziness of the Author .
But my biggest problem is the MC, man he doesn't have ANY DEVELOPMENT, he's too shallow, if you take his "otaku" away, he's an empty character, and that's even spoken by himself in the work, it's even understandable the reason why girls fall in love with him is not something forced, but his reaction is always "meh" never changes, everything goes through the "otaku view", I go even a little further, for me it implies that parents don't care they cared about raising their son and stuffed him with LN / Manga and Video Games, and look at that he became a NEET for the shittiest reasons possible.
-
Enjoyment - You might think, okay, you said a lot of bad things, but what message does it convey? Sincerely? Don't be an otaku & fujoshi whatever audience of that sphere you are, don't go to the EXTREME. All Jp's characters are stereotypes of your "hooby", when you stop to think about it, they are practically ANIMALS driven by their desires and nothing else, they have no depth with the very slight exception of 2 characters, but even these two in question, there is no development for them to change their thoughts.

It’s time for a story.
It’s the story of a boy who was brutally killed by another, and a story of a monster who cruelly killed others.
Or perhaps it’s a story of a child who was abandoned by his parents, and a hero who was abandoned by the world.
Either way, it’s a story of admiration and folly.
It’s a story of love, but not a story of romance.
Someday, it will likely be remembered as a tale from long, long ago.
A horrible, tragic little anecdote.
One that was far too twisted to pass off as a fairy tale.

1. Story ★★★★★ - It's a very closed story, its plots are ... not absurd, but the world itself and especially the characters are very engaging.
-
2. Character ★★★★★ - As I said before, they are very engaging, there is romance for those who like it too XD, the development and its changes that occur little by little are very cool to see.
-
3. Enjoyment ★★★★★ - t's pretty heavy dark fantasy, certain scenes really feel a sense of urgency or are repugnant to an absurd degree.
-
4. General ★★★★ - I only took 2 points from the grade, because I felt that volume 7.5 was totally unnecessary, but that is personal for each one, I strongly recommend reading it.
