I came into this because i thought Kiriha was cute, her personality is one of my favourite archetypes and i like her design a lot. However, i came to really like the story, characters in general, and the humor. For a time.
Let's start with what i liked about originally
The humor was a step up from a lot of ecchi i read, but it wasn't bad, the jokes were raunchy but landed well and it didn't overly rely on perverted jokes, it could do jokes besides that; the Cockroach phone from one of the extras has always stuck with me for some reason and is a
...
good example. It's worth noting that Kiriha is probably the only particularly sexual part in the beginning, but she generally doesnt go too overboard and most of her sexual interactions with kazuya are for comedy more than anything. more on that later.
The setting originally was a middle school, there was a club devoted to fighting the evil objects (amasogi) and i found the dynamics of the characters really fun. There was enough banter and energy between the characters that It was really enjoyable to read. Kukuri and Kihira became my favorites quick smart
The story had set rules, stakes, etc but nevertheless was rather light hearted and enjoyable and was sort of a "monster of the week" type story where the club would find these evil objects and destroy them. really fun stuff.
This changed when a certain event occurs, and then its basically down hill from there.
The story after this point is fine, it takes itself way too seriously but I didn't mind that too much, but the club is completely gone (i dont remember the last time i even saw the original club members, but that might be my fault for a reason i state later on) meaning the dynamics were gone, the characterization was okay but not as good(i did like the kuzuya's character arc and how he progresses as a person, though, and its easily the strongest thing about the manga overall) , especially because they added a bunch of new characters (i.e. his harem) and while some of the new addons were OK and had been previously established, others are very bland and seem to serve a single function, that function being:
sex. at this point, the ecchi aspect starts to honestly overpower the whole thing. to be fair, sex actually started becoming a problem (for me) around chapter 20-30, but i was able to ignore it because of the aforementioned things i really liked about it, but in the later chapters it feels like everything but the action takes second place to nudity, or sex, or whatever. it really disturbed me during the arc lasting from chapter 72 to 85, but it never lets up. in fact, the latest chapter (139 at the time of writing this) is literally just a sex scene that serves no function other than perhaps characterization of one of the newly introduced girls, but even then he could of done it in other ways. Not to mention, i really despise yuri, and the later chapters have too much of it.
to elaborate on kiriha, her humorous sexual interactions in the beginning basically cease to exist; and it doesn't matter anyway since now every other female character is a sex crazed pervert.
There was an arc later on that i flat out skipped since i got the heads up about some BDSM torture and tentacle rape that i honestly didn't want to even humour the idea of seeing.
TL:DR the series started out as a particularly raunchy ecchi humor with good characters and a good story but, at least to me, turned into porn with a story that takes itself too seriously and the characterization taking back seat in favour of showing the characters rape each other or masturbating or whatever that i hard to force myself to read through in order to (hopefully) see where the story is progressing. I'm leaving this up as more of a warning for people like me who don't particularly like reading pornography, the beginning is really deceiving. I'm still gonna keep reading, if only because i want to know what'll happen at the ending and because I enjoy the seldom moment where Kiriha is in the spotlight.
