Alright, this novel is gutsy and ambitious. Three entirely different storylines of different genres meshed together incredibly well using that one demon lord. Seriously, I was scared for this one. I thought the stories would clash, and that there would be tonal clashes and clashes for which story takes the spotlight. But this goddamned author pulled it off. And he pulled it off to an extent I've seriously only seen in published books. Alright, yeah, so if you, the person reading the review, hasn't cought on to the fact that I love this book and that this is just going to be me gushing all over it, then let me make it clear. I LOVE this book. The writing is phenomenal. It's set on Earth and I'd say it's a pretty solid planet as far as word building goes. It seems to be very well researched. I can't elaborate on this point really because I haven't had much experience with the character and location and customs settings present in this book, and as a typical Webnovel reader I'm too lazy to cross reference it against stuff, but yeah it feels really well researched. The writing style is great. The flow and pace just fits the story like a glove. It's introspective in the best of ways. It's just great, yeah? There's some occasional spelling issues I've come across but c'mon, that's still leagues better than any Webnovel I've seen on here. The characters oooh boy the characters I love em to bits. Character development and growth is on point. Characters are all hella likable. They are characteristic of how much effort went into this book and how much I love it. Alright, I'll close this off by saying a couple more things sike this brain isn't going to let me stop gushing so soon- a) It's great. b) I love it. c) Yes it does have quite a bit of LGBTQ rep and boy do the characters gain depth due to the societal impacts of that, but it's not the focus of the book. d) I need more chapters e) Hey almost daily uploads would you look at that thank you author f) I have no clue why I'm still doing this. 7) I will not apologise for any time wasted on reading this 'review'

Has a few mild plotholes, and some spelling errors. Not bad in that regard. Only problem I've got with it is that the author's view on certain things can be a bit obviously outlined in ways that do not logically seem to fit the established narrative (basically confined to the thriller protagonist's situation). Ignoring that, always is sad to see a good story get locked behind a paywall. And yes I know that chapters can be unlocked without money. Although interspacing reading can assist in keeping the 'novelty' of a novel, it more often tends to prevent my immersion in the story.

honestly, it is very well written, has a nice flow and compilation of ideas too. The only problem is that the author, and I hope I'm wrong, searched up highly controversial topics or keywords and built a story out of it. if you're gonna have a reincarnated overlord demon being, then I'm expecting a story around him to be fantasy and a story that fills me with imagination and absurdity. reading a story is meant to be an unplug of the real world into a world of fantasy. If I wanted to read stories of world issues on every known social problems I would go on Twitter. No hate to the author as this is my own feedback from reading so far, I couldn't continue anymore. I enjoyed the different stories presented simultaneously as that is really unique on the platform. Goodluck author!

After finishing the book, I have to say that there were excellent points to the story and some not-as-great ones. Now my favorite moments in the story were that for most of the plots, the MCs had clear plot armor, like gaining new powers right when they needed it the most. Normally people frown upon plot armor, because it takes away tension if you know the MC won't actually lose. I love how the author constructed the plot armor to have an in-universe source, i.e. Ms. Kang and the Demon Lord, but it does have one problem. After the Demon Lord stops being able to manipulate the MCs' storylines, I feel that the MCs should have had a moment where they realize the extent of their previous plot armor, and perhaps had character growth as they realize they don't need it anymore. One point that I disliked was that Sakura's initial plot was supposed to be a thriller, but I think that the LGBT+ antagonism took away from the thriller plot. Now as someone who is actually bi, I don't have a problem with LGBT+. I just think that from a narrative standpoint, the reason Jason was a big antagonist was that he was transphobic, and I think Jason could have been developed more as a villain by having him kill off an acquaintance, rather than him just spouting transphobia every time he has a dialogue with Sakura. The biggest problem I had, though, was that the MCs were able to actually defeat the Demon Lord. Now I realize that they could because he let his guard down, but as soon as he was poisoned he could have just teleported away, and neutralized the poison, before returning to fight. Plus, as someone who was literally able to vaporize the entire Korean subcontinent, a fact the author seemed to gloss over, I don't think it would make in-universe sense for the MCs to think they could beat him. In-universe, that would be like someone shooting a shotgun at a nuke and expecting it to fall over, completely disarmed. I just think that perhaps the MCs themselves didn't have to defeat the Demon Lord. They could have forced a reincarnation spell on him, so he wasn't really defeated, but evicted. Or on the other hand, the Demon Lord could have either won, or let himself be killed and be like "this world bores me, but I didn't have the heart to commit suicide. so long, off to the next world" and that would have been a perfectly fine ending. Not that the original ending wasn't entertaining, it just didn't make sense worldbuilding wise. TLDR; just read it, it's a good book if you can suspend your disbelief for the ending.

One of the best books that I have read! Firstly, the world building is made to be reminiscent of real world issues. This allows for the stories to be relatable for some, and draw attention to actual problems. The character depth is also very good. It makes the characters interesting individuals, rather than mindless cardboard cutouts as well as keeping them emotionally compelling.

First time ever writing a review on a book, and I'm currently on Ch.126 so here goes nothing icl the Tarik and Gadiel storyline was quite boring at first, but it get much better further on as their relationship grows. Then I realised there story is more focus on Gadiel about finding himself in a world where his parent push their ideology on him, with they guy he likes (Tarik) and how they go about that with the ups and downs of their lives. Irade's storyline in my opinion was by far the best, it was so captivating and interesting, I legit can't say anything less than that. Sakura, storyline to me is a complete mystery (no pun intended😉). I love this book, and author keep up the good work.

Bien mais l'auteur est trop engagé dans la lutte LGBT que ça gâché l'histoire. Le plus frappant et pour l'histoire sur sakura ou elle accuse LITTÉRALEMENT tous ce qui ne pense pas comme elle ou qui n'agissent pas comme elle le veut d'homophobe et de transphobe.... une féministe radical typique. Mais sinon bonne histoire 👍

This was an utterly amazing book! It kept me on the edge of my seat and I fell in love with the characters. The author did a really good job of representing minorities without playing in to classic stereotypes. While I do wish the author developed the main villain a bit more at the end, overall it was a fantastic read and I highly recommend it.

It started as ok, purely fantasy and the world building is so good I started binge reading but this purely my opinion, I read novels to escape from reality but this novel bring in issues and controversies from real world, except that the rest of the novel is 5/5 This novel is very unique and I haven't found one same as this, the MC is just perfect but It's not fun for readers to have their characters filled with real world issue

Story has great potential but Author is clearly lacking in storytelling. Our Mc is starting three storyline together which got so confusing at a time that I had to dropped it.

When I read in the synopsis "If you can't handle gay..." I took that as a challenge, Aside from being provoked to reading the story was actually pretty good. Keep up the good work

A unique story that combines so many genres of light novels into one essential read. I got hooked the moment I read the synopsis. The author's ability to bring the cast to life along with their understanding of varying cultures created a living and breathing world.

This novel is a unique one, the only one of it’s kind from what I’ve read. Three different storylines with different personalities and choices and a common lovely and funny demon lord. Even if you don’t read LGBT stuff regularly like me, give this novel a try, you won’t mind reading this.

Honestly one of the best written things on the site ive seen. The plot development, quality of writing, and obvious experience with human interaction (which sadly most who write on here dont have) all make it amazing. Personally, i prefer to read things that are either neutral in their views, with some LGBTQ+ relationships and some not, or just no relationships at all, as when i and many other readers come onto the site they are mainly looking for a good read that is usually action packed, or has an amazing plot like this one. The only reason i will not continue reading this is because of the way i choose to read. I try to stay away from social/societal issues when reading because they are what are making me want to read in the first place. As of chapter 30, which is what ive read up to, there has been mostly no issues being brought up, but as the story started getting more fleshed out the more i realized one of the main topics that would be discussed and very prevalent would be the opinions people have on the lgbt community. An example of a story that is similar to this in terms of how fleshed out the story is, and explanations would be Zombie Knight. If you have time i would really you read a bit of it as it would greatly improve the already amazing story you have created. Overall a 5, but will not be reading as it will probably just take a toll on my mind i dont currently need or want.

one of the best novels on this site. Unique and ambitious. Very well written. I think that the only reason it hasn't risen to the top is that it touches LGTB themes, and unfortunately many readers are very closeminded.
