Warning theres a lot of nudity and I do mean A LOT. The bits are always hidden but BARELY so if youre not comfortable with that do skip it. This review is broken down into 56 sections art designs characters pacing story and Urgh consider this whole thing more of a thoughts dump than a properly structured review. Art The art is generally very good it starts off fine but it does get better over time with some really cool panels however it then starts regressing after chapter 100 before falling off a cliff at 126. The art style is very goofy for most of the time it is not particularly detailed or unique but it does whats its meant to do really well : it enhances the comedy. It should also be noted that when needed generally for combat scenes the art can still be incredibly detailed I think some panels could even be passed off as LN art pages the artist is clearly talented with some really great incorporation of digital graphics to enhance the art. The style also is extremely versatile with some panels can could even genuinely be passed off as parts of a horror oriented manga such as this page chapter 28 : https://ibb.co/99C4S2db. However it is not without flaws at times I genuinely cannot tell what is happening and then theres the shift. After chapter 100 we get an arc relating to golems. What are golems you might ask : well they are mechas which means we get a lot of 3D. I never really minded the 3D in this manga however here we get completely unreadable panels constant offproportion characters extremely poorly integration and just all around uninteresting art. But it gets worse after chapter 126 every panel is now colored which might be great if that didnt mean that they also stopped shading stuff all together killed the variety of art styles used and start integrating even MORE poorly hidden 3D that heavily clashes with most of the art and the preestablished style. The implementation of this new art style was one of the reasons I dropped this manga it simply was unappealing to me compared to the original style. Though again even if the manga does have these problems before then the art is still genuinely great with really fluid fight scenes epic panels great use of differing art styles and art that elevate the story rather than simply exist alongside it. Pre126 colored pages are also a standout for sure. Designs Oh boy the designs I love the designs of this manga the locations might be very basic but the characters are just all so unique and expressive theyre generally great and really enjoyable except the mechas past chapter 100 I especially like the villains who all stand out being memorable both in visual designs and abilities. However the girls are pretty annoying. I hope you like big boobed skinny girls with mostly undefined faces because we have a lot of them here with very few exceptions honestly without their hair and main outfits 8/10 girls in this manga look exactly the same which is quite a shame since for the boys we get a lot more distinct body types. This mightve not been that much of an issue however since this manga uses chibistyled panels that make this problem even worse we often get panels where I genuinely am unsure who is even talking. Oh right the way magic is represented is also a standout. Characters As for characters theyre also great. I really love their writing the 7th prince is surprisingly interesting for essentially being a magicobsessed child. Theres really no characters that stand out as annoying there are some slightly bland ones like some of the bishops but most of them are genuinely great. This is especially true for the villains of this story who are always just a blast to read while the rest of the characters are very compelling too. The highest praise I can give the characters is that I know for a fact I wouldnt mind them being main characters because we literally get a 15 chapter long sidestory about one of the side characters around chapter 85 during which the 7th prince is there for less than a chapter and I really enjoy it. If you enjoy character driven stories you should genuinely give this a go because until chapter 100 or so every character is really fleshed out and made to be interesting no one is haphazardly introduced and everyone is complex enough to be really engaging and memorable. Pacing The pacing is fine its not amazing not bad sometimes it does slow down a bit but its generally good until chapter 100 where we get around 25 chapters in a row of completely disjointed fights 2 chapters per fight that are pretty much completely irrelevant to anything else in the story. Theres not much I can say here youve read the title its formulaic its simple the pacing is basic but it works. Story The story starts off really strong with a strong comedy focus and enjoyable jokes and when it starts getting old it changes up to introduce a cycle of adventureactionadventureaction constantly introducing new characters and ideas to keep it fresh and not too repetitive. It does lacks in strong emotional beats or a plot that truly stands out with some heavy use of tropes like secretlyoverpowered newby adventurer Evil demons trying to take over the world and Corrupt church with little depth outside of that. It also is somewhat formulaic often reusing a structure of Loydd discovers magicSomething bad happensPeople fight and winBad guy powers up and winsLoydd commits attrocitiesThe problem gets resolved. However what it lacks in quality of the story it does makes up for in the quality of the art jokes characters and a passable pace its not exactly good but it isnt repulsive either. Urgh Now we get to the real reason I dropped this manga. The golem arc chapter 100+ or whatever else you want to call it. Using tropes can be fine as long as you put some of your own ideas in them for instance by making the villains have some interesting motives but the golem arc is just tropes at their worse. We get a tournamentmecha arc and though I am biased as I dont like those two tropes to begin with here the execution is just so bad plus the mecha aspect feels forced with it really never being relevant it couldve easily been replaced with enchanted items which wouldve also made more sense for some story beats. We get a villain which isnt interesting never gets explored and has no real motives enough plot holes that I got entirely uninterested in the story the worst art the series has had I can barely tell whats going on half the time mechas are involved no real character development 5 new uninteresting characters if we exclude the cardboard cutouts we are left with five : two of which we see twice another one that never does anything and three of which of which we see twice that couldve been interesting if they werent passive/gone the whole time and worse of all we get unimaginably bad writing and pacing with around 25 chapters of completely irrelevant and unrelated fights we get : Loydds Anastasias Taos Sylphias Babylons Taos grandpas the demon/angels taos mecha Loydds mecha Loydds brothers mecha Guitane Ren... This got so bad I dropped the story we are given nonstop random fights and they dont even matter anyways because the whole time Loydd is just watching for no reason... Conclusion So those were my thoughts. TDLR : If you dont mind a story without clearly defined closure it is worth reading until around chapter 85 or 100 probably a low or mid 7 but after that point to me at least it loses everything that made it enjoyable pulling the manga down to my final score of a mid 6.
