STORY:
Story had a good potential. There was some world-building and we get to see another world where gods fight. There's easily like so many stories you can pull from that. Sadly, Axe-kun probably struck again.

ART:
The characters' costumes are well-designed and the fight scenes are also done well.

CHARACTER:
Varying personalities and factions with different goals set this up for a good manga.

ENJOYMENT:
... It's ok, but I hoped there was more.

OVERALL:
Wasted potential. It's ok to read since you can do it in one sitting so there's that but just when you're at the good part, it's done.

This series has good potential, but too bad it ended suddenly.
The world building is interesting and fresh, hinting with many realms of God from different cultures, yet as far as the story goes, we could only get to see 2 of them, which really is sucks. If it gets broaden, I think we could have a world similar to that of Magi.
There's not much long action scene, but it was quite engaging as it became a mass fighting. The fighting system hasn't been well explained yet and has so many rooms for potential update.
The character design is quite fresh compares to what I've ... read recently. They all have an underlying consistency, which is nice once the casts stand together. Btw, I like Hel's design best, then the Giants.
Overall, I think it's a nice manga to read when you're tired of those cliche screaming action shounen. The only downside is that it ended too soon.

This, at first, appears to be a rather ordinary manga. It isn't. It's a wild combination of "I want to be a mangaka" with, "I'm so poor I can barely survive because my parents abandoned me", and "suddenly taken to a fantasy world", and "girl mistakes well-meaning boy for a pervert but eventually finds out otherwise".
What makes this interesting is how the mangaka put them all together to make a story that actually has a unique flavor. There is a nice blend of the expected with the unexpected as well as a mild cliffhanger ... at the end of every chapter. Not enough to drive you crazy waiting for the next one, but enough that you are looking forward to it.
The mangaka is walking a tightrope with "OMG how stupid can you get" on one side, and "drowning in cliches" on the other. So far it's working. I hope that the author continues in the same vein. Overall it's one of the more interesting of the new series this year.
