I don't usually write reviews, but I felt like king of hell deserves praise and so I'd like to offer a couple thoughts and encouragement.
Firstly, the story captured me from the start. The premise is very interesting and separates itself from the type of novels often posted on this site. It is obvious how much thought and work the author has put into developing his world.
The cast of characters are very likeable - Seir and Alessia are just too damn cool. The characters really draw you into the story. The humour and references the author includes in the story complements the action moments very well.
The structure and writing style of the author makes the novel very digestible and easy to steam through the chapters.
One thing I would like to see is for the fights to last a bit longer. The reason is that the author writes them so well and they're all very intense and exciting. But it's so well done, I want to see more of it out of greed.
Anyway... Thanks for the novel. Keep up the good work. Miyabi worst girl.

This novel could've been so much more, it had potential but was unfortunately wasted. When I read the first chapter, I was excited. There is just something about religions and mythology that draws me in naturally. So I continue to read with high hope. Alas, the story was not what I imagined it to be. I came into novel, expecting an epic adventure. A story of how the MC rise to the top using wits and power, not a typical japanese harem story.
The first sign of this being your typical harem story is Seigr. Despite having power over the MC, he, for some reasons, ignored his responsibility as a Devil and helped him instead.
This could be forgiven of course, after all MC needed a teacher to help him grow, I have nothing against it. What I do have against is how you skipped 5 years of training without even mentioning how the MC was trained. Then there's the Yuki Onna who literally showed up out of nowhere with her typical yandere personality.
She just fell in love with him, like instantly. No need to go on dates or find out about each other whatsoever.
The MC, who was supposed to be a badass that escaped the Prison of Hell acting like a bashful teenager after seeing the Yuki Onna's real appearance is completely out of character. In other words, MC's personality is inconsistent.
The way you write the novel is extremely rushed, it's like you couldn't care less about details and just want to get things over with. Your writing style is... How do I put this delicately... Horrendous. There's no details, no description whatsoever. You just threw in a bunch of very confusing dialogues and some paragraph together.
I don't know about the later chapters, but in the first few, the world building was pretty much nonexistent. (This could've been easily solved if you hadn't skipped the 5 years of training).
Overall, this could at most be a light read for people not familiar with the genre at best. As for people who had read dozens, if not hundreds of similar stories like me, its below a
