Overall it's decent and worth reading, but the story drags on too much and it's difficult to understand the "timeline" of the story. Sometimes it feels like months have passed since the beginning of the story, other times years. It's confusing. The protagonist's strength improvement is also very confusing and unclear. In the first 10 chapters, he managed to create 3 cores (in his past life he only reached 5), which made him the strongest in the north and practically comparable to the greatest in the kingdom. But in 400 chapters, he hasn't added any cores, despite having become stronger through other means. It's not very clear and gives the impression that he has hardly improved, even though he always wins the fights. Another problem is the lack of respect others have for him, despite his incredible strength and absurd achievements. For example, a few close to him, like his father or the maid who raised him, treat him with respect, which is understandable, but the lack of respect from the rest of the people is completely unacceptable in a society ruled by nobles and brute force. Even insignificant people... They treat people with disrespect, for these reasons I'm only giving 3 stars.
It's a mediocre story, not to say bad. The protagonist is completely unambitious; he's just a knight until the end of the story, it seems (I abandoned it at chapter 161). He doesn't become a nobleman or king or anything like that. The romance, which should be good to compensate, is mediocre to average, and even his revenge wasn't achieved on his own. It took 150 chapters for him to lose and for the other guy to be killed. It's a really mediocre story that desperately wants to be bad.
What a lousy, inconsistent story! He has a power that multiplies the talents of those associated with him by 10,000 times, and he can associate with several people with S-rank and SS-rank talents, literally multiplying them 10,000 times to SSS and EX rank. And there are many talents, but he trains for 3 years with the support of probably one of the strongest people on the continent, and in the end, he's only slightly stronger than the person he associated with who trained for the same amount of time. In fact, he's seriously injured during a fight against an opponent who tied with the person he associated with, even though the difference between SS-rank and SSS should be at least 100 times. He has several talents like that, including EX-rank, while his opponent is only SS-rank, but their rate of improvement and strength are the same at the same level. Besides, everyone seems to have chunnibyou, and the romance is awful.
Overall, the story is good and had potential; at least it's different from typical stories of this type: a protagonist who reincarnates into an incredible, cold family and becomes a genius within that family. However, the author is bad at the one thing that can't be ignored: the writing style. There's too much unnecessary boasting, as if the protagonist is constantly doing something incredible, even when he's just doing something simple. If the author re-edits the chapters in the future, I might give it a chance, but this is too much for me.
The author gives the protagonist the powers of beings capable of destroying multiverses, but he's only slightly stronger than a high-class demon like Rias. Then the author bombards him with useless things and forces him to do embarrassing tasks like being a system dog all the time. The worst part is that all these rewards are useless because nothing he gains is better than the multiversal powers he already possesses. In other words, even doing all these things, his strength doesn't change at all. And then he, a being with powers potentially capable of destroying the entire DxD universe with a snap of his fingers, accepts being Rias's slave.
He probably hasn't even seen One Piece, he only knows the characters' names. Crocodile at SS+ level? Only one level below Admiral. Doflamingo at Admiral level. Even worse is Katakuri, who they made even stronger than an Admiral, and this is 10 years before the story begins. The author completely lost his way.
The story is going very well, but for me there are still two problems: 1) the fact that he's still in the Bestia despite 370 chapters having passed, and 2) the fact that he doesn't have a life outside of football. So far, without even mentioning his life outside of football, they haven't even introduced his entire family; we don't even know the names of some of his siblings, and this is in 370 chapters!
I read about 300 chapters and the protagonist took the team from 9th place in Serie A to a second consecutive championship, but in the end he only scored 7 goals and provided 27 assists, while the main striker, despite being only mediocre, scored 40 goals. If it were just the lack of goals, it would be acceptable, but most of the time he doesn't even provide assists, even though he's the one who steals the ball and leaves his teammates practically in front of the goal. If you like it, keep reading, but at this rate the protagonist will never win a Ballon d'Or; if he does, it will be meaningless. That's why I abandoned the story. If you don't mind the protagonist being an eternal "supporting character," you can give it a chance.
This is the first time I've given up on a story because of the narrative style. This one is awful; the protagonist is the only one with a voice, and 80% of the other characters' lines are narrated by him instead of the author simply having them speak. It's just awful.
Overall it's very good, the only problem is that the story progresses in the same way from the hundredth chapter onwards without changing anything. It's ridiculously predictable, always the same thing: the protagonist leaves home for some reason, like a mission or something else, encounters something he can't handle at the moment, and then, in the midst of the crisis, becomes stronger. Over 500 chapters, this has happened about 15-20 times already. He should have died a long time ago; it's ridiculous. At one point, he's targeted by half of the transcendent beings (his grandfather's level) in the world, almost 10, but he, a mere sword master who is a worm to them, survives.
