After about 3 weeks of 3-4 hour reading each night, I finished the novel as a means to just combine three of my childhood favorite story topics. I grew up with shows like Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel, was at one point a game tester, and for the last few years, until recently, I was a computer teacher and tutor. This story off the get-go spoke to me as I began reading it. Writing Quality: As a former teacher, I can't help, but point out the grammatical and spelling errors throughout the book, but they aren't egregious. The point is still found in the story presented. Stability of Updates: I wasn't around for most of the initial run but as someone has done some writing in the past... I know it's no easy task to write over 2000 chapters continuously and consciously. Story Development: This was the most trouble I had with the story, but maybe that's because I'm a major DnD player who builds dynamic worlds. Overall early on and even into the middle chapters the story had moments of downtime... but once I hit the final saga especially right at the end of the arc that led into the final arc... I remembered vividly becoming angry because I just wanted the MC to have sometime with their found family and friends before rushing off to fight the end boss. Character focus for people other than the MC towards the end felt disappointing too. The ending, for me, was heartbreaking... Even in the end the MC wasn't able to enjoy the happy life he had fought so hard to make his. Character Design: I loved the different explanations of the Vampire/Demon/Creature breakdowns. Towards the end I was sad when several characters were made just to have somebody to throw away... and then the MC didn't have enough time to focus on the lives that were sacrificed for him. The descriptions for each character could have been a bit more in depth in the later chapters, but early on I felt what most of the characters looked like. World Background: The Multiverse is expansive and things were happening that weren't just from the MC's point of view, that takes a lot of skill to see things from multiple perspectives. Again most of my harsh rating is mostly due to last saga of the book, no real description of the places the MC visits past losing to his ancestor felt fleshed out enough. I don't want to spoil the final arc for those still reading either, but the ending just felt entirely too rushed even from the prespective of the multiverse.
