Unfamiliar Faces(Completed)

Description

Live a long enough life and boredom becomes the enemy. Live a strange enough life and you start to crave a little more normalcy. Old Monty has been around for quite a while. Long enough for all his enemies to have either died off or gotten over whatever they were mad about. Long enough for all his friends to have either moved on or moved up to higher planes of existence.

For eons he slept, unbothered, unprovoked, unremembered. Now a whole new life is knocking at his door. A whole new adventure as the familiar of an intrepid but callow young mage.

Can a immortal lord of the void lower himself to being a mortal's partner-in-crime? Yes. Will there be some good stupid fun along the way? There better be...Or the whole world might be in trouble.

Just got to chapter 7 and figured I'd stop and write a short review.
Like I mentioned above, this MC reminds me of Sebastian from Black Butler anime series; Overpowered 'servant' type that does some wickedly wierd and kind of cool things for their 'master' and you start wondering who's really in charge.
As of Chapter 7, the grammar is a bit better than the prior negative reviews indicated. So good on the writer doing some cleaning. I did see 'some' issues here and there, but not as bad as reported.
The world building is pretty neat; modern and magic, always a favorite of mine.
But in the end I liked Black Butler because Sebastian was bad ass OP Mofo with charm. I'm starting to get the feeling that our MC is like that too. Charming, OP as frak, and I suspect just as badass as Sebastian. Heck, I'd suspect that the MC was once Sebastian in a different time and place.
Good times. Onto chapter 8!!
And I can see the MC agreeing with Sebastian about wanting to interact with humans:
"Unlike demons, you’re base, you harbor a complicated malice, you lie… You struggle desperately, knocking down others in your way… You steal and are stolen from, you make endless excuses… And still you strive to get over the hill and far away. I suppose that’s why humans are so interesting." - Sebastian

Funny and we'll written is all I need but plot is nice sometimes. 5 stars anyway, thanks.
You can safely delete chapters 16-20. I have no doubts that you lost readers in this chapter range. This story has 3 things going for it. Style, characters and comedy. You completely lost those things in that range while adding nothing else but boredom. Using the $ and dollars together was annoying but that was really the worst of the grammar problems.

It's a great story. I wasn't snagged on any major gramatical issues, and while the plot is nonconventional its still very interesting. Furthermore, it actually settles into an ending, if abeit also unconventional ending.
Nothing stands out to me that's negative is what I'm trying to say.
Though I do want to point out, it is very unconventional and even though the writing's good, i don't think its for everyone.

Not to bad.
At first I had problems trying to read but I stayed with it and it got better. I like the point of view of "I will be here long after you all die so why should I kill you if you leave me alone?"

Ch22
Very enjoyable read
OP character done right interested in where this goes
A few spelling errors and weird phrasing pulled me from the story but that's about it
Ch31
Still good It feels like chapters are super short (I dont know if it's because I read fast or they are short oh well)
Edit also indigo is really good about fixing stuff if you point it out

You over explain everything. Almost like you're writing a children book for adults. Not to say the story in general is bad. If there was a story. It seems to just jump from point to point like a sidewalk that requires you to cross the road, go back a street and then turn3 corners to arrive where needed. Some grammar errors were noted during my read thru as well. One that stuck out to me I think was "What we do we do."
Tldr. Messy story and over explaining. Some grammar errors.

A relaxed story about a very OP character casually making someone in a bad situation into slightly less OP character while they do some random stuff. If that sounds great you might enjoy this but personally besides a few nice bits in this story most of it is very boring and uninteresting to me.
Relationship between the 2 main characters is interesting and the family drama is somewhat nice with the "bad" guys having pretty well developed and intersting personalities but they are sort of ruined by the fact that besides possibly causing slight emotional turmoil to one of the main characters they pose basically no threat due to how OP the MCs are.

While tagged as male lead/non human lead this is very much the story of a young female protagonist getting a powerup with a male wizard character standing in as the info dump avatar of the author.
I don't appreciate tag subversion, please tag your stories appropriately
