The villainous young master Dark Demon finally recalled the memories of his previous life at the sorting ceremony of the Dueling Academy. He was reborn in a very strange Galgame world.

And he was the ultimate villain in the game, the Demon God of Seven Original Sins!

Superbia、Invidia、Ira、Accidia、Avaritia、Gula、Luxuria！

Once any one of these seven indicators broke through the critical value, he would irreversibly transform into the Demon God!

In the era of Saint Marian, where the demons had been completely destroyed and the demon king had fallen into eternal sleep, no heresy was allowed to survive!

Good novel

Although it has problems such as the use of other franchises, what takes away its originality is how the author portrays it, it makes it very interesting since it has greatly improved the Dark monsters thanks to this and for author to bring chapters more easily quickly.

Although the pace is slow, the story is continually updated in the Chinese version and there are very few filler chapters that do not serve for a configuration for the future.

I know you couldn't like dark because the author does it as a... more>> perfect since he almost never makes mistakes in front of many people but this has brought dark problems that are beginning to manifest themselves in his second year

Also your undefeated streak so far may upset some but remember how you have explained how the mind is related to the aspects of the duel and the speed to use your cards along with the Op that your monsters are that allow you to give Dark the advantage to overcome older people although their luck is also quite good when he draw or his monster for reverse the situation to win.

One of the reasons I like Dark is because of how different it is from the shonen characters as he has clear priorities.

already when someone asked him this question

If you have two groups and you can only save 1 with one with 10 people you care about and another with 100 strangers which one would you save

Dark answered without hesitation that to the group of 10 people and that although it would be a shame the death of 100 people that would not be essentially dark's fault and if he has to feel something it would be just because it is not strong enough to save 110 people.

Although Dark seems op he is still growing for a more broken since he has only touched the surface of what he can do so the plot also has good time for the increase in power and as mentioned the spoiler he will only be getting stronger the longer and more monster he create

Spoiler

-Dark created Fusion card but later it was revealed that there are many types of fusion spell so he will have to continue studying in the future if he wants to maybe create Mastermon

-The advance of creating evolved cards of sins that needs studies of ruins and things related to gods to create Sins card to evolve your monsters to new levels

So far the farthest it has come is Pride 4 but it can only be used with certain monsters and it is the only level 4 Sins card but it is still considered defective.

-It is the power of the bonds they have the possibility to replace the sin cards since when pride 4 gatomon is used I need the magic power of dark and its connection to evolve into angewomon

-If this is possible, imagine the reaction of people and your opponent if dark evolving his monster without the need for cards (Removed a great weakness from his deck) or even recreate contact fusion to bring his fusion monster

-Although I hope this only applies to the digimons and not to the other monsters of Dark

-There is also the mention of ritual and another type of summon that has not been mentioned so far so there is still more development for Dark since Blue eyes has good material for ritual summon and Professor Silver's mention that elves have secret techniques like dual chanted

-In the current chapters it seems that we will see the appearance of other gods since the gods can have influence on the intelligence of creatures such as monsters either from dungeon or dark for which dark could make an advance on the Sins cards or create another God Armed card.

Things not related to duels

-Maybe black clover reference with spirit dive if possible with Dark and the spirit that he gained from Aurora's mother

-Dark won a book to learn fire magic, maybe he can become a magician that his incredible reserves thanks to the power of demon god allow him to destroy someone with magic

-We still don't know everything about alchemy and refinement of armed cards so maybe Dark could in the future do something similar to fullmetal alchemist or Hajime nagumo of arifureta

-Also that chakra or qi thing that is mentioned is the only power of humans than the 7 is considered a new magic imagine if Dark had something like the wortless of DxD or Copy without restrictions (referring to Eeve pokemon with more evolutions or ditto that can be anything)

[collapse]

He certainly gives that protagonist yugioh vibe combined with the rivals

Since he has shown similarity with Judai / Yuya in the desire to have dueling fun including his opponent and possess the power of an antagonist with rivals like kaiba and kaito with reference to kaiba

Spoiler

Dark is becoming an Businessman as he is now laying the foundations for his own company with a focus on the monster duel.

His first Dragon Monster (I don't need to say more)

Have the power of money

The ability to look down on someone and win

Although, unlike Kaiba, he has achieved what he could not, which is to win a tournament that he himself created.

As for Kaito, his resemblance to dark is more in kaito's calmer personality compared to kaiba

[collapse]

He will certainly have to face more problems now that it is second year and problems are popping up.

Spoiler

-The vision of most of the people of the same year taking him as an omnipotent being instead of a human being who also has defects and weakness

-The brute force of his deck that makes him surpass all his classmate in terms of deck power and his constant growth will leave him alone since he has no one from the same year that he can call a rival so this will produce loneliness and boredom as pandora suffer and told in one of the initial chapters that are translated in novelupdate

(Since dark began to worry about his plays when he returned to face his classmate so that the duel was not so short even though he was able to avoid that mentality he admitted to having lost ability due to being able to depend on raw power)

-Being a noble (This is a possible threat to dark) since dark comes from the modern world I do not think that he is so aware of how to be a noble and how the relationships of the nobility could create rumors against him and attack him just because he does not I worry about it

-The intelligence of his monsters something that Dark himself has questioned since he can only say that time will tell if it was correct to increase the intelligence and independence of the monster from him or no.

[collapse]

I really like the mentality that Dark takes now to keep winning until the golden cup arrives where senior participate so that he can have fun since his year probably

Spoiler

only Dianna, Sara, (Eudora we don't know her true capacity), White, Emma

I put Dianna on top of sara because her deck is about power

Sara was able to give dark some true fun back but still failed to face his brute force.

(For yugioh first generation lovers this will surely be a fun duel / chapter to read)

Eudora the power of a possible obsessive yandere has yet to be seen

White and Emma both lost to dark in the silver cup but I see white with more chances because Emma depends on her luck on her deck

Although it will only be possible if dark has an initial bad hand

Now it is under investigation:

Pokemon:

-Virizion because dark got a holy sword with herb and light properties

-Aerodactyl from a biological orb that he obtained in a dungeon

Digimon

-Dianamon (lunamon)

-My expectaction that the author has given Digimon protagonists a Dark but I wonder if he will give him some of the second generation and if he does what will it be since Dark's knowledge goes more through the first 4 digimon until frontier I think and I wonder if he does it give in the future wormmon to Dark since he already gave him the iconic digimon of the first digimon and iconic digimon of the girl protagonist of the third generation so maybe he will give him the digimon of the protagonist's rival when it comes to the second generation since it is one of the few digimon that It could have multiple routes if the sins cards can replace the digi eggs also it would give us reason for dark create veemon where the author could perhaps give him his own evolution for level 3 and 4 Using the digimon that started all Veedramon (Digimon V tamer) and has a similar name so that veemon can evolve to AeroV-Dramon and definitively to Ulforce V-dramon so that veemon is not just a basic digimon that only serves to evolve champion or material for fusion monster with wormmon and can fight powerful digimons

Yugioh (My expectation)

-Replicate his blue eyes custom monster which should be easier since there are more materials but the difficult thing is how to get them and also Dark has to tell the truth to Pandora about what he did with his gift and if dark gets her or Hephaeus give him materials to replicate his blue eyes monster or if these blue eyes custom monster take different routes in the six star but they all become blue-eyes alternate white dragon when entering the 7 stars and then blue eyes white dragon and have the ability to turn into eggs like the first blue eye custom monster.

So we can see how six star monsters based

Blue-Eyes Abyss Dragon

Blue-Eyes Solid Dragon

Dragon Spirit of White

And Dark summon sometime although I think he will need his Sins cards to achieve it and bring Deep-eyes white dragon

Chapter 640

Pandora offered to negotiate with Dark for dragon-type materials so we have hopes of more blue-eyes monster in the future when Dark reaches the point of making a replica or some similar version and other types of dragon materials for other dragon monsters in the future for something for something that only dark can give

[collapse]

If there is someone who can contact the author can suggest these idea of ​​monsters for dark future deck since he use element from other franchises because it does not put things like

Digimon: Phascomon I really feel that dark needs another demon type in his deck and what better than the one with the possibility of becoming a belphemoth

Spoiler

Since I really do not want demidevimon to be a monster that has a chance to become the 7 demon lords of digimon since I feel that although it would be important to demonstrate demidevimon as the ace of dark is that I really want to see more demons monster for dark not only for him Problem that someone mentioned in the reviews but I would also like dark to collect or to show moment where he fell into darkness similar to the protagonists yugioh digimon and also to stop dark the appearance of a hero of justice and it will be incredible if in a duel he manages to invoke both belzemon as belphemon rage mode in the field plus another demon lord since it would be incredible although I wonder how author will do it with the pride route

Since I don't like Lucemon and I don't find it interesting compared to Mastermon and since pride 4 seems to lean towards the light maybe the author degrades the form of lucemon: larva mode to make it the same as neodevimon level and the defininitovo level is Lucemon : Satan Mode that would be more original than the male version of Mastermon

[collapse]

Fate: A hybrid version between saber artoria and lancer artoria with 4 effects that the first tries to equip an armed card from the deck or hand and the ability to become the owner of the weapon and manifest its true power without needing to be a brave or demon to use holy or demonic sword and other unknown effects.

Pokemon: Poipole since the author gave popplio to Dark then because he didn't give him another pokemon from pokemon sun and mon

Yugioh: Starve venom fusion dragon (I know this is not very original but it would be an incredible monster for dark and his evil moment in addition to starve venom would be perfect because its name of its evolution is related to the Sins and it can have alternative or evolutionary routes if we also consider the versions hybridas pendulum and supreme king)

Although so far Dark has done too well and his system is only giving a count of the amount of his sins which I like since the whole future is in the hands of dark and his decisions

But I wonder if the person who brought dark and his system will be happy with just this since I also enjoy when a hero suffers adversities and overcomes them as he grows up making a decision.

Since in one where his system tests him for little progress to see Dark with a sense of urgency and danger to see how he overcome it.

It is also said that the game deals with 6 years in school and I wonder how the author is going to do it since Dark's growth and how slow the story is going I wonder if he is going to do a time skip in the future or something similar where dark and the others temporarily leave the academy to face threats.

I really hope to see the duel between senpai and kohai between dark and pandora in the future since it would really be interesting and about how much there will be since I would not like only 1 since I want several duels since they have little opportunities to face each other

In addition, Pandora can be to Dark what Jack and Ryo were to Judai and Yuya by easily defeating him and being the first person to teach Dark and his monsters failure when facing an overwhelming force.

At least there have been several indications that they will probably be in a duel.

Since Pandora has shown interest in facing dark in some type of combat, although dark has rejected it because he himself knows that he is not ready or cannot.

Since really if we want Dark to advance, a goal is necessary and Pandora can fulfill that role to make Dark evolve to new heights and I agree that having his final duel in third year vs Pandora in his sixth year would be a good form to show this rivalry as the kohai will finally surpass the Senpai

Spoiler

But the problem is that when he enter 4th grade that duelist will be left to try to challenge dark and that is why I am interested in knowing what decision the author is going to make regarding this

Although for the moment at least we know that when Dark enters 4 years Pandora will continue to be his teacher since she declared that she wants to stay in school as a librarian for various reasons so she will continue to be a figure that can help Dark in his investigation although We no know if could have a duel again due that now they would student and school employee and it is allowed or not

[collapse]

My Theories

Spoiler

Actually the author will keep dark as human or will make him become the demon god but keep the human form of him.

Since although the sypnosis tells us that the epoca would not forgive Dark if he transforms into the Demon God but if he maintains his rationality and human form thanks to the future control of sins, I do not think there will be problems if he becomes being op something similar to Rimuru the slime who later became a demon lord but who kept his form and personality but increased all his abilities and power

Because Dark is unknowingly creating an army of monster that will fight for him and are loyal to him due to Dark's bond with them.

Dark is also unknowingly strengthening his family by creating a company to earn money so that his family expands in economic power so that his family in the future could dominate the world with his power.

His mother loves him too much and is determined to protect him unless the author brainwashes her to have a change of heart so that she wants to kill his son I do not see it possible I even think she would rebel against the world if it is to protect Dark.

The author already raised the possibility of a war or battle since Pandora asked Dark to give intelligence to some of his monsters to protect someone important.

The royal family is a joke since they only survive due to the power that supports them: the prince the holy church and the princess the family of dark that even a noble mentioned that if the royal family fell it would not mean anything for the family of dark or the holy church

[collapse]

I seriously hope Dark gets more demon-type monster besides Demidevimon since

Spoiler

The relationship of dark with his spirit is symbiotic and that not only dark affects his monsters but his monster also affects him since Eeve had a talent as a prophet and he developed or awakened this ability in dark that is why dark needs more demon monster since he has 3 monster with the quality of (brave) and only 1 demon monster.

[collapse]

I really hope he get dobermon (they are putting things from the undeworld in the future and what better than the digimon that evolves into cerberumon) and phascomon because the latter evolves Belphemon in its final form one of the digimon demon lords and it would be fun since it has rage mode and sleep mode to play.

It does not bother me as much as they make dark strong since they have told us from the beginning how the brain and talent are important for the invocation process and also the potential of the demon god helps him a lot to his potential that increases every day combined with his diligence along with the advantage that their monsters are Op and that they have strong determination since they, despite having intelligence, have never been paralyzed with fear in a duel but do everything possible to give victory to their Master.

I also adore his mother since she not only loves Dark very much but also helps him to get stronger very different from carter with roel from Little tyrant novel (I'm in the introduction of william and pendor so I don't know if carter helped his son later) Since Carter, despite loving Roel, never helped him to become strong since he never expected anything in terms of talent and power, what made Roel strong were his system and his connections with his going to a fragment of the story fighting life and death fights which made him strong and Carter nothing at all in Roel's quest for power but in this story we do see a good relationship between mother and son since Alvette certainly wants to protect dark and make him strong using the many means that she has available

Also the reason why it does not bother about the rapid growth of Dark is because of his background and I want him to be able to have a match with Pandora senpai in the future where Dark can win with Pandora doing everything possible since the opportunities are few Since Pandora only has 2 more years left in school as a student.

I would not mind if Pandora was the one who broke the undefeated record of dark since clearly the author presented her as someone op and it would be perfect due to her relationship senpai and kohai master-disciple with Dark in his third year defeating her and surpassing her senpai already That he won't have a chance later when he enters fourth grade.

The growth of Dark is interesting and how his perspectives of the duels that at first did not interest him but when he started to find difficulty and the fun of the duel has been interesting but I fear that this rapid development will leave him lonely

Spoiler

since currently in the raw he 600 and 601 is obviously about the level of anyone from his year and he can no longer enjoy the duel with the people of the same year as now he has started to relax due to his enormous power but I hope he can compose himself as I don't want dark's first real loss in a duel to be because he lost all enthusiasm to fight

Now he's in an internal debate about his plays and I hope Dark can be merciless so he doesn't have to hold back and focus on defeating his enemy no matter how big the difference is.

Hopefully Dianna (For being her friend and having a deck with enough power to connect with dark and motivate him) or Sara (She and her treacherous strategies) can give him back the hope of having a fun duel with people his own age

So far not a good impression. Setting aside the slow-development, the system is ridiculous, makes little sense and stop the MC from doing anything. He cant eat, he cant nap, cant study, cant even get irritated because then he becomes a demon god. He even has to resort to some pretty weird mental gymnastics just to read a book. It really feels like it the author tried to make it a gag yet completely and utterly failed at it.

[collapse]

Spoiler

The world is pretty interesting, obviously a soft copy or a parody of HP with digimon/pokemon elements, but ultimately fairly interesting. Unfortunately, the system still drags down the story. But if you skip the parts where the system comes into play (around 40% of the story so far) then it becomes bearable.

[collapse]

c31=>
Spoiler

the system seems to have gone into the background and/or dissapeared so the story has got much more enjoyable. The MC is a bit boring/passive, but as a slice of life with a sprinkle of humor, its a nice story.

[collapse]

c800+=>
Spoiler

it takes a while but it gets pretty good. The school its fun, the teachers do a lot of work and the system gets relegated to the background where it belongs.

[collapse]

I suggest this story a lot.

As for translations.... The MTL is pretty good until chapter 780, then it goes down hard on quality, making it nearly impossible to read. <<less

4 star (Although my vision is due to my love for the things the author used to enhance his story)

With the Dark Character I don't have much problems due to how they explained before why he should be op compared to his classmates although the inflation of power is also present but it is only a card game and not life-to-death battles

I think the author seeks to justify Dark because Dark is not like that due to his old personality but because of the threat of the Demon God's... more>> blood which can bring him death because they will not accept this.

Although I also have complaints about how the author shows Dark as someone omnipotent in front of the public both in duel and in doing things that is not dark's fault since what we read the novel we know how many failures and difficulties he has had to create cards and other things although it is still a high skill level (MC plot armor).

Although I would have liked that more people who have asked about the dark personality change, we must remember that dark is still a 12 year old and that he still has time to make a personality change that is more credible to improve or get worse.

Although I would have loved if someone had asked him and Dark answered that it was thanks to the school system of how good behavior represents DP which equals power and the creation of demidevimon the possibility of creating more monsters and the reason he wanted was to have more companions (making excuses that is due to the intelligence of their monsters)

Although I really wish more chapters that did not include dark point of view but other people's point of view since I feel the same yugioh (gx) vrains problem where they only focus on the protagonist and I don't want dark to happen something similar to judai when he lost his friends and became the supreme king

The reason why dark doesn't bother me is that I find him better than a certain protagonist of Yugioh (Playmaker) since while Playmaker has his trauma and they make him look like an invincible duelist and a hero who always wins without telling us anything else about him and The moments in which he show human emotions are very few (I know about their trauma but look at the other types of lost incidents that seem to be much more capable of expressing emotions) while Here Dark does not have to act like that because he have a trauma but because of the risk of the blood of the demon god to act as a model student without really being able to enjoy his new life while the author try to give his perspective on his school life and on how the world works

Another thing that I liked about the author is how he really does how Yugioh says where no cards are useless since each card that Dark has made has had a purpose or moment to shine and he also tries to mix things serious like romance (Although it does not concern dark) and how it complexes or destroys a person

In destroying a person I mean the brave white that seriously deserves some shine that is not removed instantly, although the author managed to stabilize his mental state thanks to a certain incident, I hope it improves his treatment of him.

Other people who are beginning to be self-conscious are dark companions who do not have a strong mentality or because of romance problems

I am really interested in seeing how Dark developed in his second year and how he does to deal with the problems that are beginning to arise that are both for him and how he will respond in his relationships with his friends.

While I ask as he will battle with the boss of this year will be like, they already introduced him and already gives us an idea of ​​who will be the beings that Dark will have to face in the 5 years that he has left in school to overcome and what battles he will have and maybe if there will be more life or death battles where he will have to overcome

Another thing that has me interested is how the dark couple will be if it is a only 1 girl or harem

Regarding harem, I feel kinds confused. Dark doesn't really love any girls. Perhaps Pandora, a senior sister, can get closer to that level but that's it. But almost all of the main girls has crush on him at some degree.

But one of the theme in the story is about the rise of women status in the world so I doubt that he will end up with a harem but author clearly writes in a harem route. But nothing sure so far

Although if I'm honest I really want Dark to stay with Pandora and Dianna (I really feel that she needs a advance since even though she is her best friend and would be the girl I would support if it weren't for Dark is an adult who went back to being a child, since I no want dianna to suffer a broken heart)

The other characters

Rose (Nothing against her but she supports Dianna and her family is tr*sh the typical nobles who seek benefits)

Her fiancee (Due to Dianna she loses sense and due to Dark that has no idea that she was her fiancee and his misunderstanding although it all depends on how the author develops her)

Eudora (This would be a person who would be interesting if the author gave her more prominence in the story and maybe if dark has a harem I wouldn't mind if she added it)

I do not consider Sara and Emma because if They interested in Dark it is because they are seekers of the number 1 position that Dark has since for sara she was always confident in being the first until she met dark who defeated her exceeding her expectations every time) while emma is also bad loser who has more time in history for being a confirmed heroine of the game.

And this is a comment for the user TheOneEye:

Spoiler

The slow development of the plot happened from the things that were already noticed in the spoilers since it took more than 400 chapters for Dark to finish his first year so the pace is super slow and considering that it has more than 600 chapters and in novelupdate just goes to chapter 62 obviously have a lot of road and need stamina and patience to be able to enjoy this story

What Dark does during his spare time as mentioned in previous spilers where for the most part, he will watch the MC as a spectator for most of the main plot, but he won't avoid getting into the mix of things if he has to, which he usually is. Near the end of the arc when something important to his future development occurs and aside from that, he spends most of his time experimenting and playing cards which makes most of the events seem repetitive until the duel or fight scenario of life or death.

What you have already been warned about if you read the spoiler even the same synopsis and the protagonist tells you that the game where he reincarnated used the elements of other franchises

About your comment about Dark, do you not remember that he was an adult who woke up in the body of a 12-year-old boy with almost no important information about the game and you seriously hope that in a world where mathematics is at a lower level than his previous world are able to make a problem for Dark or that some children can compare themselves with respect to intelligence on that subject and you mean the age that enters the first years was 12 years old and it is true that compared to how the characters of little tyrant these look very immature in comparison just take that as a story for fun

(And by the way if there are noble people who are manipulative or think like noble but they are teenagers or adults but most of them cannot harm Dark due to the protection of his mother or dark plot armor)

At points that I agree with you is that the narrative form sometimes becomes very repetitive at certain points and continues to praise things such as the virtues of effort, dedication, and other virtues to explain the victory of some people or the constant advance of dark

About harem I already said it, the girls are the ones who fall in love with him but not dark with them since he is busy with his own affairs and it will be difficult for him to be in a relationship since so much dark before and after obtaining his memories he does not have no experience in a real relationship

I also agree with White and his affection card but he really during the course of the story he does not use it due to the scolding he received from the teacher and due to his own morals so there is not much problem in that.

Your comment about Emma I don't remember if I saw Harry Potter so I'll keep quiet but it is obvious that she is one of the author's favorite characters because she has a longer screen time although she is not related to Dark as a friend.

Although I hope that she gave more screen time to girls more interesting in second year since Emm if I'm honest I am not interested in she as a rival or love interest

It is pretty good. The character development and interactions are what made this novel interesting. Although it copied some settings from various pieces, it still stands unique. I like the card making and the fact that the MC can utilize his seven deadly sins in it.

Grade:

8/10 (pottet cats are goated)

TLTR:

its a good novel, the main drawback is its slow pace, but other than that? Its a good and interesting idea, a bizzare but wellput combination of differents novels and pieces of media; the hogwarts of harry potter, the yu gi oh system of battles, the pokemons and digimons thatare just that, pokemons and digimons! Personally I like the relathionships and how the character are portrayed, the author could have made the original MC of the story white gawd, the antagonist, but in reality is... more>> all the contrary, he is just a 12 year old boy who is trying his best, so I like how it escaped that cliche. The only other point of confussion is the fact that the main problem pf him controlling and learning about what causes his sins to grow, which it was invested at the beggining, as he tried to learn what and what not added to that count, ended being push down to the back, but its understandable, as we put more attetntion to the rest of the story. <<less

Temporary score of 3 - 3.5

A promising novel. Many people find it similar to Little Tyrant Doesn't Want to Meet with a Bad End, and they are right in some sense. This novel is similarly slow-paced and careful with detail. Objectively speaking, Little Tyrant Doesn't Want to Meet with a Bad End is better, but I prefer this novel because I don't like the former's protagonist and (probably) main waifu (again, they're not bad, but not in line with my preferences).

So, this novel has quite an interesting setting. On the... more>> surface, it's just a copy of Harry Potter + Yugioh + Pokemon + Digimon, but the author was able to make this combination alive. It still doesn't change the fact that it's not original enough, but it's already one big step ahead of other copycat novels.

The main reason why the setting works is that the author made the plot slow-paced and focused on the setting a lot. The protagonist is spending a loooot of time studying and researching, almost completely focused on those things in over 160 chapters I've read so far. In other words, while consisting largely of copied elements, the setting is fleshed out enough to make it good.

Of course, this has a downside. The plot is very slow-paced, and it could use more action in my opinion. Not much more—maybe twice as much, which would still not be that much. The novel is simply a bit boring in the long run, which I both favor and dislike it for (it's a bit boring, but it also makes it hard for it to distract me from proper work). Additionally, I feel like the characters' relationships with the protagonist could develop slightly faster.

Speaking of the protagonist, I generally like him. He has a big handicap (I feel like some reviewer claimed that it stops being relevant very quick because MC dealt with it, but this claim is only half true), and is generally likable. It's just that his character should be fleshed out more (rather than Buddhist life, it's more like a salted fish now). I mean, he should have some more vitality. For example, he likes cats, but if he was crazy about cats and it drove his actions sometimes, it'd make him much more alive as a character. Well, I suppose the slow pace is getting in the way of that too. Also, it doesn't feel like he has any overarching goal besides stabilizing his condition and studying. He doesn't really think about what he will do a year from now on or after graduation. That's another flaw.

The other characters are introduced and fleshed out considerably slowly, but this novel is so far very promising in terms of character depth. We have both obvious and not-so-obvious love interests, and all of them feel like distinct personalities, even though they have yet to gain much depth by 165th chapter. Moreover, we have multiple male side characters whom the author committed just as much time and effort to, which deserves applauding (harem novels generally don't give an F about male characters, coz there's no place for competitors in wish fulfillment; if they're not enemies to slap a face or two, they'd just get in the way). I can think of at least three, four of them who have relatively decent depth (as compared to love interests) at this point with ease.

Overall, this novel is very promising. It's just that it's slow, and the translator is slow AF. I would read the MTL, but I don't dare to attempt it with all the digimon, pokemon, and harry potter universe (magical creatures, ingredients, and spells) names being thrown around. Speaking of it, kudos for the translator for uploading pictures of digimons so that those of us readers who aren't familiar with it (like me) don't have to look them up. <<less

So I'm going to start this off with me saying that I don't actually like this book.

This book is very slow but detailed, there is a lot of time spent where the main character just follows steps in making a potion or goes to class over and over again. If this isn't your style then you won't enjoy this book. At least for me personally I don't like this style but I still enjoy it but what made me dislike this series was just how much of the core plot... more>> was stolen, with how much is taken from harry potter, pokemon, etc. and how these parts are from whatever keeps getting referenced breaks my immersion in the story and this just ended up being the final nail in the coffin for me to drop it since I already don't like how slow paced it is.

The story has a decent amount of originality with the 7 sins and how he needs to resist letting them grow but this concept was basically dropped as soon as he produced [Pride I] and it just became how he could use the sins. I think the story would have been a lot more entertaining and enjoyable if it focused on the seven sins and kept putting him in situations where they would risk rising, something like the seven sins each have an attraction (i.e. gluttony improves smell so good food seems more appetizing, lust makes him more attractive, ect.) and then have situations where he needs to resist those sins... With how its currently set up its just overall boring and the entire world building honestly makes no sense to me, it feels like the author took a bunch of there favorite stories/games and just threw them in a pot. Overall, at least personally I don't enjoy this story but I think its well written and if you like slow novels and don't mind "this is from harry potter, this is from pokemon" then this story would be good. <<less

It's got potential. The premise of the story is pretty unique and definitely something nice to read. It reminds of Little Tyrant tbh.

I only have 1 major problems with this, that is, it has a lot of info dumps. Sometimes, half the chapters would be filled with nothing but him explaining his experiments and whatnot, so the story is incredibly slow to progress.

It's honestly unnecessary and breaks the flow of the story. You can literally cut that part out and you wouldn't miss anything in the plot.

Honestly if the author didnt just straight out took monsters from digon and pokemon I would probably like it.

I would be okay if the story is inspire by certain parts of harry potter, digimom and pokemon. If they simply said a fox like monsters instead of saying eevee then thats better.

So much potential but because its just a mishmash of rip-off it sucks ass

Very slow and very lazy, rips off HP setting, Yu-Gi-Oh card mechanics for power system, Pokémon and Digimon for summons.

Characters and dialogue are rather bland. The near identical copy to the HP trio exist except the author decided to destroy their friendship and chemistry. So they exist, barely.

The seven deadly sins threat did introduced some interesting elements and motivations initially then the MC tried to exploit it which was cool but the moment he succeeded the threat of being corrupted vanishes and never feels like an issue again. And even... more>> the MC's exploiting the sins quickly turns bland after the dead horse is beaten a few dozen times without much variation.

It's at best a dull slice of life that fails to capture the most important element of that genre, engaging characters.

So yeah, really rather bad I have no idea how it has 4.2 at the time of this rating

Also did I mention the characters are 12... And are somewhat sexualised by the author... Yeah, creepy. <<less

I enjoyed the first novel quite a bit and the experiments to figure creative uses for his power. The versatile growth through creation along with the dungeon arcs and secret area arcs left a good impression on me. I like drama and there is honestly quite a bit of it to enjoy. Him always winning when some of his early deck builds were so tr*sh is definitely worthy of criticism. I thought he should have bricked himself into unwinnable situations quite a few times. When his deck always winning starts... more>> to become reasonable his start up time is still way to slow in general/his defense against magic not being diverse enough never really gets addressed.

Spoiler

The rules change a lot in second novel and it becomes a Wuxia battle kind of thing for the most part, the protagonist basically rests on his laurels. His deck is actually subpar outside of the context of evolution which he knows can be countered and brute force, but he decides to pursue alchemy, city building, and how to purify areas. He has a treasure detecting device and a massive dungeon with monsters to talk to which can contain godly items which he doesn't explore or use at all outside getting to floor 20 which some of the best convenient evolution materials he found and never uses them again.

He is technically forced to go into it for the academy cup where he goes up to floor fifty to hunt designated monsters, but he doesn't' explore the hidden spaces. And I think the slime was too OP so he basically never uses it anymore but there has been updated information on it more recently. A lot events have just become the plot demands a solution so he conveniently has one one rather than him actually investing in a wide variety of skills.

There was an extremely tedious tournament arc which basically gave up life points and dealt with direct combat, however the focus on the unknown without exploring the unknown and intriguing outcomes is stale at best. I found the tournament arc which went on for a bunch of chapters to be pretty boring and unsubstantial there's a reason the tv shows always had side explanations going on the side for names and stats.

We are at the point where he basically got a kick and the back telling him that he's been wasting his time not improving himself but it's near the end of the second novel. I think the third novel can definitely improve on the this one and bring it back the drama and thrilling action back. A lot of my complaints are basically addressed by the author as it seems they noticed the same things as they were writing.
