Where do I start with this? This review is made after the completion of Volume 4. A forewarning: The early chapters, especially chapter 1 is very misleading. It may seem like a power fantasy SI, but it's not. It's much more than that. Another warning: The MC isn't what many of you refer to as an 'Alpha' nor is he a 'Beta'. He's a normal person, with a personality and wants to do right. He won't fulfill whatever weird fantasy dream you have in your head. Writing Quality: 5 stars. Not much to say in this. As of Volume 4, the author has said he's going to go back and do a lot of edits to correct grammar and mistakes. Before deleting some Auxiliary chapters, he said he wasn't a native English speaker but this is a lot better than what you read on this site. Story Development: 5 Stars. This has been a wild ride. A mix of canon and an original storyline. I've enjoyed it quite a bit. A lot of effort was put into this as far as I can see and many storylines have yet to conclude. Character Design: 5 Stars. Maybe I'm biased but I love Jin's(MC) journey through the world of DXD so far. He may seem like the typical protagonist but cracks start to form quite early on Volume 1, more in Volume 3 and a small conclusion in Volume 3 near the start. He's no perfect MC, he has his doubts, troubles and opinions. Mentioned by a certain someone, he's a kind person through and through. He was born that way both in his past life and in the world of DXD, but he isn't a pushover. He tries to see the best in everyone at first even if they try killing him, but as a character development point, becomes a little jaded from Volume 3 and up, but still stays the same. This was mentioned that he was taken advantage of at times in his past life because of this kindness. Anyway, his development so far has been a joy. Both mentally and emotionally maturing at a decent rate. Update Stability: 5 Stars. Not much to say. Author updates quite regularly and gives some updates when he can't release at the usual rate. World Background: 5 Stars. The world of DXD is expanded upon a lot. Through the little things in Kuoh, the school or even other Mythologies. So far, the Irish, Greek, Norse and Shinto mythologies have been expanded upon by a lot. This also adds in many OCs. The author has said he would add the Russian/Slavic mythology as well as the Egyptian so I look forward to that. Other points of interest: His relationship with Albion and Ddraig is great, they're essentially like brothers. They support Jin a lot. Other characters in the novel as he does have friends and Interactions outside his massive harem. The romance isn't rushed and is developed at a good pace, however, the author mentioned that the first 3 did join rather quickly. Everyone else joins at a steady pace. A lot of slice of life and character interactions. I also like the comedy, it's made me laugh a few times. Many coming from DDraig, Jin's classmates in school and the like. Final thoughts: A hidden gem if you can ignore and bypass the misleading 1st chapter. You'll read a great DXD novel on this site.
