First part absolutely awesome. Then you get mad because it was such a good novel

However the start of the big incident just doesn't sit right with me and the entire time since that moment in the back of my head I'm thinking that which kinda killed it a bit for me.

I feel like second half was botched and even the end.
    • His character development was weird.
Spoiler

In the novel Ellen even says if the demon King attacks the persons I love basically (Reinhardt) I will become the hero or even says to Loyar I could die for him, yet when she find out he IS the demon king goes to Bertus??


If we were going with Ellen her character it would even make more sense to say something to Charlotte {If you tell anyone Ill kill you or even without saying anything kill her}

And even IF she didn't that we would see her confronting Reinhard herself why wouldn't she, she is even stronger then him.


Especially because we see the student who was killed by Ellen even change and try to kill Ellen and Charlotte.
Ludwig was also botched

This is one of those reads that blows your mind. The highlight goes to the fun interaction between the characters, each with their characteristics effectively influencing the development of the story. It's a sad story, but worth reading.

I would score it as 4.5 due to the fact there are some parts of this novel I do enjoy re-reading. If you ask me, I believe the story should have ended at 380~ chapters because after arc 1 (and the messing drama near the end of arc 1), arc 2 isn't as interesting. In my opinion.

The story is still enjoyable and the twist and turns this story has, it is okay. But some subplots are left alone in favour of story progression and some events are skipped over, which... more>> left a smaller impact than I would like to see. I really like the story but the leftover frustrations from arc 2 and sidestories are not enough to feel like this is the best conclusion for the story, but that is my bias. I believe that the author has the right to end the story the way they want and the conclusion isn't something always acceptable to the reader since each reader has their own interpretation of their own unique ending.

Spoiler

Arc 1 is perfect set-up with light humour and a nice slice-of-life feel, with the main character as a demon king in hiding, it makes a nice suspense with his identity playing a part of the plotting in the background.

Arc 2 is a division of a bunch of stories; a loose strings of events which takes a different tone from the mild arc 1.

The sidestories... well, some are a hit while some are whatever. I am more disappointed with the fact that Ellen's and Reinhardt's relationship is somewhat repaired, yet never goes as farther than 'they have a kid now.' Like, I prefer more confrontation of their emotions than just one instance of it, so I feel like it never really got resolved and left with this awkward conclusion of the story.

What really upset me is the achievement system became nothing but a background feature with his one death video. No personality exist during arc 2, which makes its condescending nature in arc 1 a sad and empty development.

Another thing: after he finished his story, he was suppose to be in heaven. I mean, that was the premises of the story, but his life continuing was a bit weird but I liked it since it means the story would had to continue one way or another.

[collapse]

I would probably re-read the earlier part of the story since I enjoy those light-hearted moments and suspenseful tension of this character. While the second half is still good, I wouldn't read again. It is enough for one read.

Carefully consider if you want to read this one, because while there are different opinions on this novel, overall, it has its good moments and its bad moments. <<less

The novel wrote by Korean. I can see why the MC's character different to shounen MC in general, tho in the early story MC seemed no different to typical delusional shounen MC. The other character also similar to those subculture JWN characters but not that really 1 dimensional. The interaction between MC and other characters is refreshing if you're used to reading JWN. But but but it's shame the writing seemed influenced by tr*shy writing JWN in general. Repeated information, obvious and unnecessary explanation, and unnecessary details. IMO, those things... more>> what makes WN tr*shy work in general. In this WN's case they repeated the already known information and explain obvious information which originally 1 paragraph stretched to few paragraphs to few pages again and again with the same structure. They do it as if their target audience is a reader who has goldfish memory. It's annoying I need to skimming few times just in 1 chapter and often lost trying to figure out what author trying to say but turned out they explain something that already obviously clear or repeat an obviously clear information that they already wrote beforehand. Fak. Yes I'm mad. 2 star is already generous. This should get 0 star. If the author got an editor like my language teacher, they would get F grade for many wasted word.

And about faith and religion in this story, it doesn't make sense. Author don't get what they wrote. What they wrote is cult, cult mentality, brainwash, and typical sociopath instead of faith and religion. Due to inability of author to make it clear, this thing turned into a plot device for convenient excuse to justify racist, no, speciesist war. This device made the world magically lack of literacy despite the world setting supposed has high literacy and more advance than real world. And the last thing, this novel wrote by Korean so be prepared your brain get shut down because of forced drama. This genre is infuriating. Every character magically shares the same philosophy even though they supposed has different character and mind. Ugh, I want to ask author that write this genre, are they anti realism healthy relationship or something? This genre is honestly bad, immature reader would build unrealistic standard and just like addicted to p0rn, their relationship would be unfulfilling and delusioned and confused unable to separate between lust, ego, and love.

Finally, for authors that use those kinds of writing, thank you for writing despite your bad skill. And at the same time, F U. <<less

This falls quite short of 5 star material.

The overall plot is generally well written and the cast is great. As many reveiewers talk about, the first half is very good. Comedy, slice-of-life, good feels, and a lot of drama. The characters are well done in the beginning.

The second half, much like the premise of the story, flips the table and a lot of constructs in the first half become irrelevant or get dropped without much explanation. The writing seems to change a little too, although that might be due to... more>> MTL where things are described in a circular manner that is very repetititive. The benefit is that the reasoning for how the plot progresses is explained in depth which can bog down the pace.

Personally, the biggest shortcoming for DPGA is probably the harem element. Maybe its just the culture of that world, but there's a pretty severe lack of intimacy beyond platonic day-to-day stuff (which is well done). This goes all the way to deep in the epilogue which seems pretty unrealistic. Maybe they're just too busy to get busy? or even hold hands for that matter. The platonic parts are good, and the girls are nice... but that's about it. Thankfully the author doesn't touch the line often so the MC can at least avoid a beta-male persona. The best part about the harem is the tsukkomi at the end of the day.

Ultimately the greatest injustice from the author is probably Ellen's treatment, but none of the relationships really feel all that satisfying at the end. Let alone the main female leads, the subs are severely neglected in the second half and even the end result of the harem is a pretty severe disappointment. Eleris's conclusion is perhaps the only one that ends up feeling right.

That said, for what its worth, the mystery, tragedy, inevitability, interconnectedness/butterfly effect make for an interesting read that I found enjoyable enough to finish. The more I reflect on it though, the more I realize its mediocrity. <<less

Story was very good until around 350ish chapter. Fun and interesting characters along with dialogues and plot. It began kind of serious but mostly lighthearted. After chapterb 350 when the story stops being in the academy I guess the author just decided to destroy his work. It became more and more depressing with author emphasizing main characters burden and whatnot. Just bullshit. Skipped some chapters out of curiosity and it was getting only worse so I decided to drop it.

this is novel is great. Every plot is interesting and mostly original.

I put high expectation on this and it got answered with satisfaction.

however, ... more>>
Spoiler

in the beginning gate arc and the afterward , the plot kinda lack of consistency,

to make dramatic plot, the author throw away or nerf some character's OP ability.

it feels like plot hole

[collapse]

im impressed by the magic system on this novel unlike other fantasy novel that said "magic is magic, so no need explanation,

this novel explain magic with a good detail detail, it interesting and feel logic, it like make something with high level language programming

it's clear that the author put a lot of thought on it.

rating 4.5 <<less

Couldn't even get past the beginning chapters. Author kept going off into tangents, delve into unnecessary and irrelevant things (not related to the scene). The MC is said to be the author of the book he is transmigrated into. His inner monologue is always "oh woe me" because he can't remember what he wrote most of the time and the things he did not write about were "auto filled" without his knowledge. Despite the dangerous situation he is in, and even tho he keeps saying how lost he is, he... more>> always acts without thinking, and always in the most s*upid way possible.

Spoiler

In one scene he asks a question and the options he receive is either a vague answer that will always end good and or a clear answer that is most certainly a trap. He decides on vague, doesn't understand what it means (the meaning/clue was really obvious to me), doesn't take time to think about it and he asks the same question again to get a clear answer. Then he proceeds to do what the answer tells him to do, completely forgetting the clear answer was a trap.

[collapse]

The book was too s*upid and cringe so I decided to skip this one. <<less

(my opinions, my interpretations, subjective: for me a 3star) Same as a lot of plp already pointed, until 400 yep, from there on meh. And it's not even cause it turns "dark/tragedy" or something like this (and I would even debate this ... more>>
Spoiler

he tries to "attack on titan" things saying there's no solutions and all but no central character dies, some sides that you have favorable feelings do but the story doesn't build anything on it so you don't even feel it. ludwigs drama is just annoying most of the time, and the ghost thing just as much. harem happy ending, bertus (never liked the guy, still he got saviolin at the end) happy ending, combat guy thunder girl happy ending etc.

[collapse]
) but more about other things: characters acting out of their patterns for some chapters to switch the plot, the author doing too much to correct the backlash of the audience's feelings for them, the MC becoming a complete incompetent on everything with too many conveniences covering for him, too many anticlimactic and unsatisfactory resolutions... then it ends and you think: fuc it, at least some fan service so I can go away with no bad taste on my mouth, I liked those characters for the first half after all... and the guy is too lazy even for that, the mf just teases and goes away, lol. <<less

So, Fortunately and unfortunately I loved this story... at least for the first half. The Second half, completely bummed me out. The author is a wonderful writer, and the translation is very professionally done, but this story is missing one thing in particular... a sense of wholesomeness.

Too many characters got less than they deserved in my opinion, and I think that ultimately it comes down to that old adage "you can't have your cake and eat it too" I think overall the characters are likable and have depth, but the... more>> harem aspect of this ruins the depth of romance that could of been possible for the main and any one of the lead heroines. So although the story is good, it misses the mark of greatness. love the author for crafting the world though and I hope that one day I'll be able to read something similar and feel happy for the outcome as is it's good. just not great. <<less

About halfway through the story it starts to become stale. The author can really pad a story with filler. Now there are many leaps in logic to create drama that don't make sense, but the author treats them as a matter of fact.

The story has also become a melodramatic love triangle/square.

I picked this up because I was craving some romance and I don't regret my decision. While the author goes into a lot of unnecessary detail and even repeats things that are obvious, I still really enjoyed the underlying story of this novel so far. So if you care about the flow of the writing then this is probably not for you. But if you're someone who doesn't mind quickly skimming through the boring sections to get to the juicy parts then I can recommend this work.

The characters are interesting... more>> to me and the girls don't just suddenly fall in love with the MC for no reason. It actually takes about 150 chapters before they start to develop any concrete feelings (and even 100 chapters later they haven't started getting super intimate yet). This is a good thing to me.

I quite like how the protagonist's true identity is treated as an important secret that must never be revealed and there is actual emotional significance to it. I'm looking forward to how this will be dealt with later on.

Even though the only part of this novel that I can really praise is the characters' relationships, I still feel like rating it this highly because I haven't read a good romance in a long time and this managed to make me feel satisfied so far. <<less

This novel is great, it was a hard read up until chapter 25, when he really enters the academy. The rest of the story or the prologue could be called mediocre at best, it was annoying to read as well. However, once it reaches chapter 25 and he actually enters the academy the story just skyrockets. I love how the story is written, how the characters change over time, and how bad his writing was called for the story that he wrote. The cast is diverse, but I could remember... more>> their names, the worldbuilding is great, and if I had the ability to read it again I definitely would.

Also, you can read like 10 chapters in advance to bypass the reaperscans paywall by just searching it up on google. <<less

One of the better webnovels I've read thus far. It's well written, though the story and characters can be frustrating.

The MC is not OP. He is original/excentric, not dense (socially speaking) but definitely acts dumb (the story feels a bit contrived because of that). He can be absurdly impulsive but also cunning (in an ex-machina fashion). I wished he owned his decisions more (esp. Concerning him hiding his identity to his friends). He can be strangely judgemental sometimes to people with principles (ie, Olivia). Basically, he's a dumbass thinking... more>> himself mature.

Other characters are okay. Most are women (harem logic), which I'm fine with. There's no personal rivalry, no enemies. The novel is not boring, thanks to events. But the plot is slow and not particularly exciting, and once you get bored of clichés or the MC's inconsistence, there's nothing left.

The worldbuilding is minimal but works. <<less

Great character development. Love all the characters. No word padding. 5-stars up till when MC's identity is (inevitably) revealed.

After that is... uh, not good. Lots of crawling in my skin. Ending was also a letdown (not about the main characters at all). Honestly after the metaphorical trigger is pulled, not sure what could've been done. Maybe if the author had developed the demons in the setting better there might've been some options (pretty much neglected the entire story and given token "monster" treatment).
