Perfect story exactly what I needed. Plotline is of common beginnings but the execution is brilliant. I feel happy just thinking about what's next. Long chapters perfect cliffhangers. The characters are generic but there's a reason theyre tried and true. golden finger is satisfying to use and the Mc isn't clueless to the world around him as other books. He knows whats going on in the world within reason. THE MC ACTUALLY STANDS UP FOR HIMSELF AND SPEAKS HIS COMPLETE MIND. multiple tiers of existence for mc to beat. Revenge arc plus self conscious Mc equals greatness

First and foremost, this will probably be a lengthy post.
I black-hole-consumed this story on Wattpad in the span of probably 36 hours. I'll get right to the point here: It's been so beautifully long since I've been as hooked as this on any story, book, WebToon, manga, anime, you name it.
My thoughts here stem from many perspectives, all of which were uniquely charmed. I'm an author... or trying to be, I guess. As someone who pens isekai, who religiously consumes the anime, the trashy Wattpad and RR stuff, the manga, and as someone involved in the translation process for dozens of isekai manga, including Arifureta, I've read just about every way you can spin a trope, and I still love it all.
So I clicked on this story thinking oh sweet, looks like the perfect trash isekai. From the get-go, I was intrigued by the special abilities of the heroes, and the countless implications they could offer. Every chapter I raised my eyebrow further realizing... ah. Author here has some serious depth in this story.
It's unique, it's gripping, and it's visceral.
The characters feel surprisingly fleshed-out. They have depth, human flaws and elements that make them more than 2-D "I was betrayed" protags, and the same applies to the characters involved in such affairs.
I recall the exact two turning points:
When Anne so quickly accepted Van, proclaiming his "father" to be someone she admires. It was a quick turn of depth.
And when Van had to settle the royal dragon, which alone carried so much history and fun with it, there was a line that said Varlog knew Van was smiling ear to ear beneath his helmet.
In the tiniest ways, the emotions and values of characters are revealed, are changed, challenged, and challenged again. As an author, I love to read stories and think of a thousand ways it could pan out, and yet every time this author managed to come up with something different.
As things panned out, the scope of the story increased. Twists existed inside of twists, relations and revelat

A few gramatic mistakes here and there, but they can be ignored, the pace is perfect, not too rushed, not too slow, perfect romance, perfect twists, one of the first stories that made me give a 5 star review! I really hope that this status continues so I can keep enjoying it!

SPOILING THE FIRST COUPLE CHAPTERS
Is the magus c*cking the MC premise tarded ? Yes. But the story is fun to read what can I say? The story really reminds me of those misunderstood forever Virgin Japanese anime characters. If you like those type of stories with an OP main character then you will enjoy it.
for the author I think you got yourself a solid book if you spend more time fleshing out the characters more. The harem all of a sudden loving Van felt weird
if you flesh out the side characters and make you can actually elevate the story a lot more. They feel like the typical 2D harem characters you find in a lot of Japanese novels if you make them more realistic that will help this story a lot. Aside from that good job I actually found myself looking forward to seeing the romance with the demon queen blossom

I think this is a good story
its one of those story’s with a lot of medium sized arks that make you think “I wonder what’s next” I would recommend this
feel it is a good read to just wait chapter by chapter to get a understanding or it can leave good cliffhangers to wonder about in the shower

The story was nice. It showed the mental fatigue of a Man who tries shouldering things of his friends and loved ones, tries to carry Emotions and Insecurities with loss, and grows in the process, finding that not all is as it seems and that everything is complicated. Then we arrive at ch. 64, and everything, in my point of view, becomes pointless; all the Gods of this world are incompetent pricks. How they achieved divinity will be a mystery, as they all seem blind and take offense at something that should not be more than an internal Joke. This killed the desire to keep reading.
One day, the Auther will create something great, but not in this story.

Too much Japan influence for my taste here... then again it was marked as isekai, and I read the reviews before so I should have expected that.
I need to say the story is actually quite good when it gets serious - mainly drama, but it's often ruined by comedic relieve or even some references to 'our' world's pop culture - it just breaks immersion on so many levels, lessens the impact of drama or completely pulls you out of this new world to remind you about our world... also I suggest to add 'author notes' not directly into the story' script (like some songs names or info for reader), there is special space for that which reader can ignore if he wants... you can't really ignore it when it's directly put as paragraph in the story.
I love OP characters, so together with well written drama arcs, it was keeping me entertained, but there is a lot of issues I just can't keep ignoring, two main offenders are: a typical isekai MC you can read more about in Pravum Vitiosus's review, but also a fact that this story takes itself sometimes seriously (those are the good moments - mainly dramas), but sadly it mostly tries to keep some kind of satirical viewpoint of this kind of stories, I don't find these elements to mix well together, either be one or the other. There are some major plot issues too with the leading one being no side effects to his main ability... after so many deaths his mental stability should be all over the place... and the story makes sure to show you how many times he dies even mentioning tortures, you would think he would be a shell of a man after that time - once again an issue of story taking itself seriously or not.
It's just a mixed bag... tho it was able to keep me up to the end of 1st season and that definitely means the story is worth reading, just not for everyone, especially not for ppl hating the usual isekai/japan teenager MC - you know the guy with virgin crisis, stack in teen's mindset with little to none development even after 25yrs spent in

This is gonna be a rough review im not really analyzing the story more just ranting a bit
So this story comes off as a basic isekai shtick at first, and its pretty good. Hits all the boxes, the premise is kinda interesting for a bit. Then it takes a left turn into complete grimdarkville. Just, so much weird bad stuff happens out of nowhere. The mc has really dark thoughts constantly, and the story changes into this weird sexual thing based around the original "hero" guy. The demon queen is literally in like two chapters up to chapter 78. Im not saying its a bad story. It's pretty interesting but jesus man, where's the chill tone you started off with. The whole point of the story is that like all woman(also men kinda) are mind controlled by either the heros passives, or the mc passives, and its like ntr on steroids dude. Wheres the demon queen at, can we just go back to the funny proposals at her castle plz 🥹
If youre going into this expecting shallow isekai like I was, turn away! Shit gets weird and serious all the time. I dont mean that in a bad way, but I was so misled by the disc and the title lol. If you are looking for a grimdark mystery isekai with a weird amount of ntr, you've struck gold! It is a good story, I dont mean to be super negative I just keeping getting surprised at how dark the story gets lol.

So for the first 50-60 chapters the story was pretty good. It had some weirdness, like just normal shouting or loud talking written in all caps and such, but it was still a good and engaging read.
But then for some reason the author decided that
the trauma and depression needed to be maximised, and made nearly every charackter betray or cheat on the MC, or reveal that they did bad things for no apparent reason in the past.
To expand on that in the beginning the Story was doing a very good job to look at the good and bad things happening, and painted a good picture that everyone has their flaws, and most people have their good sides. But then
it just goes into full blown angst-emo-grimdark fullfilment of the worst kind, with everyone suddenly hellbent on inflicting pain and suffering on everyone else, with not a single shred of goodness left.
So we ended up with the Main character, Hero, their party, the other human side charachters, and even the gods beeing extremely unlikeable, stupid, annoying and frankly just bad. The story gets so bad that there is only like 5 charackters left that i want anything positive to halpen to, and those have appeared in like 5 chapters in total combining all their appearances. For the entire rest of the cast, and most of the world, the only interesting or even remotely entertaining thing to read about would be how a new cast of charackters comes in and just completely wrecks the place in 2 chapters and starts an entirely new world with nothing of the old left around.
TL;DR: when the point comes that I realise that I actually root for something bad to happen and permanently kill every single major charackter in a book, I can't continue reading it, and i recommend others against reading it as well unless the author rips out everything after chapter 60 or so and does a full rewrite.
The review has been edited to comply with rules on spoilers, hence why it looks abit odd, but i thoufht it best to try and keep it as close to how I originaly
