This manhwa is horrible, just a massive waste of time, there's not one good thing to say about the manhwa, the art is mediocre at best, the characters are plain, simple, and boring, the story is a extremely simple and repetitive, and the end plot is anything but satisfactory, but lets go a bit more in depth. (no spoilers btw)
Art: Not a big fan i don't really care about art, but in this case it was a bit problematic, since the art is really cartoonish, which in itself isn't a problem, but it ruins every single serious scene in the manhwa, because the art is
...
the same in the comedy scenes and the serious scenes, it isn't like One Piece or other stories that have a cartoon-like art style, you don't feel any intensity because of the art.
Story: It isn't great, the story just ends up feeling simple, the protagonist is stronger than everyone, knows more than everyone and it's as simple as that, there's no challenge nor excitement, since everyting is simple and easy. The comedy isn't great either, it sums up to a few very out of place panels that aren't funny, the story is just a vicious cycle of killing NPCs that where not even properly introduced and making goofy faces, and there's also no good romance, the romance scenes are really sporadic and the characters dont really connect well with each other, making so the progression of the romance feel forced.
Characters: Most of them, pathetic and have no personality, but this manhwa innovated a little in character writing, instead of having 1 generic character who's entire purpose is bad comedy involving eating food, this one has 3 of them. The heroines, none of them are important to the story,the protagonist's girlfriend has no screen time, so you almost don't even see scenes involving romance development, when she appears is for some poorely made romance scene that dont progress anything, the girl with the glasses too, technically she has an important role in the story, but the author kind of sent her to do a super important thing and then forgot that she existed, she was only mentioned once more in the entire manga, the spear girl even more so, she only appears to create stupid comedy and is a completely forgetable character. The antagonists, mehhh they aren't developed at all, they all have no personality, history or motive, even the big villain of the manga must have about 30 pages of total screen time in the manga.
Fights: most of them are boring, and all of them are predictable, there are 1 or 2 cool ones, mostly those that don't involve the protagonist, but overall the manhwa is very weak in action.
One last thing: some things were left out of the review, such as when the clan leader tried to get the protagonist to marry his daughter who's not only 10 years younger than the protagonist in his current life, but that is a 7 years old child, the reason for not bring this up in the review is simply because i refuse to.
I think this was my longest review, which makes sense because I like to talk about what I hate, anyway, 2/10 theres literaly no reason to read this, complete waste of time.

Well, is a fan servicebased one-shot, the entire one-shot it's basically just ecchi scenes, if the author showed a little bit more of how the romance would be aproched in the story, it would make for more interesting one-shot.
Art: The art is good, it's consistent throughout the volume, nothing unique, but still pretty good.
Story: It's nothing new, exorcists and demons became quite an overused theme in nowadays mangas, and romance in the theme even tho it isn't usual, some other mangas like Twin Star Exorcists toched in the topic so it isn't uncharted territory, the novelty is the yuri romance, which well, could be interesting.
Characters:
...
Stereotypical, one is shy and the other is horny, lame concept seen a million times already.
Does it have some potencial for a good full length manga? Yeah, a little bit, but from what we see in the one-shot this would just 10 volumes of fan service, which is pretty sad, 6/10.

The premisse is kind of inconventional for me, had never read something like this before, and it was a very good experience, it's quite refreshing to see a new premisse in the genre.
Art: The art isn't really that special, is good and consistent but nothing stunning.
Story: Well it's an isekai, but a really interesting take in the genre that became one of the most saturated genres in fiction, so it was a very interesting read, the story is well structured, even tho it's kinda weird at first, it's pretty engaging. But, theres a need to address the final plot (spoiler free), for me it was
...
unnecessary, kinda out of place, and it really just didn't add much to the story, but well, even tho it kind of made the ending a little bit less satisfactory it didn't hurt it that much. About romance, the story really doesn't progress a lot in this department, which is really wierd, the premisse of the story is about a romance, but it isn't really developed.
Characters: For me, the worst part of the manga, the protagonist is well, smart, focused in his object, he does have some personality, he isn't very remarkable, but he's okay. The main heroine is not a bad character, she's way more emotive since, she actually is a kid, it does make for a good contrast with the protagonist but, she didn't really had a lot of character development, she was the same from beginning to end, it was a waste of potencial. As for the other characters, they really aren't worthy to talk separately, but, they are still okay characters, every characters is important to the story in some way, no one seems out of place or irrelevant, which helps a bit with the lack of development that some of them had, but it definitely doesn't make up for all of it.
The manga as a hole not bad, the premisse is good, the plots are interesting (besides that last one) and the story flows smoothly. An 7/10, worth reading.

The story is simply just an average comedy, there really just isn't anything out of the ordinary about it, no real romance, simplistic comedy, simple character.
Art: Standard would be the best word to describe it, nothing special or enticing about it, just a good, but standard art style.
Story: Goofy comedy , that's about it. The story never really distances from that, and the only reason why it doesn't get really repetitive is because the story is really short, the romance is doesn't exist making so the relation of the characters never evolves.
Characters: In all honesty, there really just isn't a lot to talk about,
...
the characters, as I said in the start of the review, are simple, the protagonist kinda doesn't have a lot of personality, and the dragon, well, is an stereotypical tsundere, really that's it, those are the characters.
Cause it is very short and the comedy is decent I'll give it 5/10, if you go read it, it wouldn't be painful but there are better opitions.

There's no single aspect in Ajin that is below average, good art, very good character, amazing story, but, going more in depth of these topics:
Art: I really like the art, it looks dark and gives a heavy vibe, it is very detailed, specially in the design of the monsters/ajin, fits perfectly with the story.
Story: The world building is one of the strongest aspects of the story, its smooth and the characters and mysteries of the story are presented very calmly, making it really enjoyable to read, the progression specially in the last arc is fenomenal, good accelerated pace but, not making it to overwhelming.
Character: The
...
strongest point of the manga, starting with the protagonist, he's pretty well crafted, you understand how he became what he did, he's a flawed person and the way the manga approached that was perfect. Now, the best character of the manga, the antagonist, one of the best antagonists I've seen in a manga, he's a complete psychopath with a very distorted objective which, acctually ends up making him very charismatic, but, in the end of the story he became a little too untoucheble and predictable, but it doesn't hurt the story much.
Fight Scenes: All of them are very creative, the author used every card he had in hands with the ultra regeneration of the characters.
Ajin in its entirety is very consistent in quality, only falling a little bit close to the end of the story in terms of predictability, but still, a very solid 9/10. 100% worthy to read.

A really weird One-Shot, extremely confusing from beginning to end.
Art: Not very great to be honest, old art style, not a big fan.
History: Well, a mess, there's basically no story, just a sequence meaningless panels. For a One-Shot, the history is written in the worst way possible, it's supposed to make you interested on how it could. Continue, but you end up no understanding how it would even continue.
Surprisingly, there isn't a third topic to talk about, so the review ends here. Really not worthwhile, even if it is a one shot it still is just a waste of time, 2/10.

Art: Standard art, more saturated than 2015 romantic comedy art, there's nothing new or special about the style, it's just the standard manhwa art.
Story: kind of a big mess, it's practically a piece of abstract modern art. The way the author writed this is criminal, things just suddenly happen for no reason, it changes focus a lot, and not a single change is smooth, everything seems very out of nowhere because nothing is presented nicely, but in the story there is also the biggest flaw in this manhwa, the endless and unsufferable nothingness of the story, everything is dragged out too much, it felt like
...
it was testing my willpower to continue, there's just so much unnecessary stuff there, it's absolutely possible to cut around 150 of the chapters easily, without changing one bit of the main plot.
Characters: no relic is interesting character wise, there is the fire madman, the 3 dogs and around 7000 objects that speak, of all of them only the crow, the rope and the worm have a some sort of a personality, maybe I'm even forcing a little saying that the rope is interesting, because it's only character trait is being affixed to the protagonist, and nothing else, but it is what it is, the worm is the only comic relief that is even remotely decent in the manhwa, there must be like 2 scenes where I smiled or something similar to that, the crow is the only interesting character in the story, it has a concrete objective, a backstory, a personality, is it just another animal that turns into a hot woman? Yes, but again, it is what it is, at least she has a certain level of development. I'm not going to talk about any antagonist/villain because they are all completely disposable, and are turned into shitty comic relief whenever possible to take away all of the possible seriousness that the manhwa could have, and all for 3 scenes of Adam Saddler levels of comedy.
Fights: I honestly think that none of the 1v1s in the manhwa were good, there are some tedious fights that hurt your soul, even when the gods start beating the living shit out of each other, it's boring, it has no impact. There is also the "Madara Effect" in this manhwa, the protagonist is so stupidly strong that when he loses a fight It's just because the author pulled something out of his anal cavities to provide some challenge, but it seems too forced and very poorly done, all the fights look like turn-based RPG combat, hit, hit, hit, say something stupid, hit and repeat.
Romance: non-existent, which is actually unbelievable. In 412 chapters of story, literally the size of Berserk, the author was simply unable to make the romantic progress have even a slim of smoothness, the progress of the romance is: they meet, and literally a post-sex scene, alone, with no change in attitude, neither a change on they're relationship, nothing. It also doesn't help that the main heroine is as interesting as a doorframe, she's literally just there to be the dumbass that the protagonist sometimes has sex with.
Positive points of the manga: very rarely it does have a good fight or an interesting dialogue sequence, maybe some okay comedy too but i don't really remember seeing any.
Final considerations: none.
Definitely not worth the time to read, dear God.
Bad and on top of that a massive waste of time 3/10.
