Description

Chaos had risen, signifying that the next generation of the Demon King was about to be reborn.

In what seemed like another usual attack from demons, Nemo Light was heading towards a shelter when he ran into Oliver Ramon, who was heading back to town to find his father, being chased by a demon. In the process of saving him, he inadvertently formed a contract with it.

As they returned to town, they found it ablaze, and while trying to figure out why, they were wrongly accused of being demon worshippers and were hunted down by the church.

With no options left, they set about becoming mercenaries to survive while slowly discovering that their ordinary lives may not be so ordinary.

Thus began the adventure of a gentle knight and an unwilling mage.

It’s really good, the action, the mysteries, the romance. But im not a fun of side couple so I just skip the side couple’s parts lol. But I think it’s also a good couple, im just not a fan of multiple couples. The main couples are pretty satisfying on their own 💚

im pausing cause I honestly don’t know where this is going.. Like they are just going with the flow and I don’t know ehat to expect next, so the excitement isnt really there, BUT it’s really good. I just... more>> got a bit tired. I’ll continue this next time <<less

I'm so incredibly grateful to the translator for making it possible for me to read such a fantastic novel.

To think I almost passed it because of the uninteresting synopsis... As others have stated quite well why this novel is so amazing, I don't feel like I need to repeat them. Just read it and see.

Fair warning, if you are not very emotionally mature, closed minded, get offended easily or are unwilling to expant your vocabulary, this book is not for you. It covers many themes and topics that some may... more>> find difficult, such as the true nature of good and evil, the purpose and/or use of organized religion in society and the like. There are no truly good or truly bad characters. Everyone has their motivations and reasons for their behavior, even side characters. One person's believed "right" action often ends up being a serious betrayal/catastrophe to someone else.

Also, the translation is very well done (with the occasional typo but come on lol).

To the reviewer complaining about the disconnect with the western setting and language usage... pfft, I don't understand your problem. Do you not like elegantly described scenes? Or is solid and consistent world-building your issue? Or is it that the language used and themes require a more open and mature audience?

the reviewer who believes the side couple was unnecessary/ruined the pacing/created an unhealthy "forced" nature, I get what you're saying. I'm not a huge fan of that kind of thing. So it was quite off-putting. I could only hope that it's inclusion wasn't gratuitous. Fortunately, an explanation and resolution for this behavior does occur. It's just very late in the book.

That's all. I hope more people can enjoy this novel and the others by this author. I'm off to read Happy Doomsday, translated by the same awesome person! <<less

5 stars!

Thankful to the translator for translating this long journey because I don't think my brain cells would have survived reading this in chi.

And what a journey it was. Each arc had its own important characters, and some are even subtly linked to a bigger picture. It's a real adventure rather than just a romance story. Although the romance is also very present and very healthy. The story literally kicks off in chapter 1 with no slow build up and never really stops till the end. I do so have... more>> a soft spot for the fantasy setting.

I love the relationship between the main characters. From acquaintances to something more, their relationship was the most solid thing in this story. But that doesn't brush off the side characters (even the morally grey ones) aside. I loved the main team (and coughcough the side CP).

There were also many other characters that left deep impressions:
Spoiler

Like Aurorae (CRIES). And also Tela (I will never remember how to spell its full name) whom I thought was a great enemy at the beginning.

[collapse]

My favourite arc was
Spoiler

the withering castle arc. I mean. It had the worst separation but somehow looking at how Oliver is pushed to the brink yet never faltering and the super emotional reunion, was very moving. Especially the scene in the furnace.

[collapse]

The ending is also the best:
Spoiler

like hello, it ends with a wedding. And pretty much everyone ends up happy. I loved the subtle development of all the side characters getting their happy end as well. Although at the very end, there's a slight sadness knowing some of them are not immortal.

[collapse]

Overall, one of the best reads of the year. <<less

Not sure why but I'm not that interested in what is happening sadly. I think it is a mixture of unfamiliarity with western fantasy and the translation. It is full of that awkward sentences that appear with mtl. The grammar at first glance seems perfectly fine but sometimes, it's like there are a couple of very important words missing from the sentences that would make it have perfect sense. So there is some slight disconnect from certain paragraph to paragraph that I sometimes don't understand what they are... more>> trying to say. There are a lot of reviews praising it though so I’ll probably pick it up to try again later. <<less
