My Review from chapter 20
3 stars

Its really boring. The action scenes are lackluster, the art is subpar at best, the monster designs especially range from “trying to be cool looking but failing” to “Really hard to look at”, there is absolutely no tension or real investment, plot is virtually nonexistent, half the dialogue is about as basic as it gets when you can actually read it, and to top it off half the chapters till 20 are either broken or messed up in either translation or editing. Chapter 6 duplicated itself, and I don’t mean there’s two of them. both chapter links lead to the same page, scroll to the bottom and you’ll see the exact same comments.

The Summary does a really good job of explaining what this is about. In fact it seems to describe everything its about. There doesn’t seem to be any plot outside what was mentioned. To answer Southdown, there doesn’t seem to be any hint of a romance so far and im doubting it will. The neatest concept I’ve seen in this is the fact that he can hear the spirit voices from everything; horses, carriages, buildings, hell even just the ground can talk to him. They do try to use it as much as possible and to be fair it has been the most redeeming part for me since its so interesting how it works. But the lack of any investment keeps me from being invested myself.

The main theme of this seems more of him just doing things and getting wrapped up in fights where he can win with absolutely no effort. The side characters are moderately interesting at best, though the apprentices do almost nothing but gush about their teacher. I’m going to drop this for now, I may come back to it if I have the time or if I get word that it improves down the road.
