Ironically, for me, with regards to the novel:

In the start of the novel I thinked: WTF This is pretty good : O I want to know moreeeee
Now: Oh... Well.. It's good but...

If I really must give comments on the story, here is what I would say would be the style of the novel:

Quote:

A: "You may be good, but that was just 30% of my power!"

B: "HA! That was 25% of mine!"

A: "I lied, that was 20% of my power! Now taste my 40%!"

B: "Very well then, heres MY 40%!"

A: "Actually, that was just 30% of my full strength!"

Its a never-ending cycle where the author seems to put ALL important characters with infinite power, unwilling to show any signs of weakness among them. Even when the fight ends, or one side loses, they are as if they never put in their best effort. Do it once or twice, and it might seem cool. Repeat it for like 5~8 volumes... You gotta be wondering, "Has he done enough like that yet?"

On the other hand, the ero-tism of the novel just keeps increasing, he might as well write an adult novel.

Volume 8:

Spoiler:

The plot and setting is quite good, but the author really lost it, in many sense... Can't understand what he is trying to do... Sigh, a good start gone to waste if you ask me.

Things tend to happen for a reason.

I would love to agree... but until that "I haven't used my full power!" stunt ends somehow, there is no way I can agree with you... Seriously, I thought it would be a great novel, but the path it is heading down is more of that of an adult novel than a story based novel. In fact, he might as well just sleep with his harem already. Hes acting like a gentleman, when hes just a pervert, toying with them.

The whole "LOL I'M JUST HOLDING BACK" trend continues up to the most recent volumes? Oh man...I stopped reading this at Volume 4 when it was just getting too much for me to bear. I like strong heroes and all, but that trend of "LOL I'M JUST HOLDING BACK MY POWER HAW HAW" has got to seriously stop. Does the "LOL I ALREADY KNOW WHAT YOU KNOW I'M JUST PLAYING DUMB" trend also continue? Because that one was also completely annoying - it left no room for surprising plot developments because, hoo hah, our glorious invincible hero already knew all along.

I had a favorable impression for this series after having read the initial volumes, but eventually it just got too exasperating for me. Knowing that the whole hidden shounen power levels trend continue is depressing enough, but that it just escalates the eroticism with little reasoning to it is a complete let-down.
