[Spoilers from Chapter 1 and 2]
This is my very first review, i thought this title would be a great start because i do enjoy the elements it features, i have been reading this one for almost a year i think and i was just done reading its latest chapter (chpt 11),I’v seen theres no review for this so yea lets go.
Overall (9): [ I just saw how much iv wrote to ill just leave this at the top]
This manga is basically **The Witcher’s Manga** I could just leave it at that but …….the story isn’t very unique I would say its stereotypical but
...
it is done in such a way that its enjoyable , the writing is interesting it keeps you following , not detailed to the point where you look away or find yourself skipping, it’s not your usual isekai its much ,much better . The art is great and so are the characters .
If I were to be super critical I would’ve given this an 7 or even a 6 , but seeing how this title is "fairly new" and still has a lot of potential I’ve settled with a 8 because I really did enjoy it.
I cant recommend this highly enough, by the time of this review there’s 11 chapters anyone can get into it and seeing how slowly its releasing it’ll never be too late.
Character (8): I thought I would start with this one because I want to focus on the MC and how he is a well execution of an Isekai character and story and also an MC in general.
The isekai genre is at its peak right know and the industry is pooping out dozens of new titles each day , but it’s great to see titles like this one proving the potential of this genre .i am a huge fan of fantasy and Rpgs , but if every title is about a generic edgy boi or some random lad that’s overpowered since day one and the issue he faces is that he doesn’t have enough hands to grab the girls around him.
- In this story the MC “Lecan” doesn’t stand out that much , he has this simple and ordinary look, I wouldn’t call him the most original character design, hes that chill , cool dude you see in other titles and wish they had their own story . No he doesn’t have a legendary one shot sword/spell to fight or his mom with him to carry him but rather a very simple kit, his fighting style is displayed early in just the first chapters where you can see how he uses tactics and tries to learn and to adapt with his opponent again using a simple kit and his experience. At first the MC does look a bit overpowered but its due to the fact that he encountered weak enemies, as we find out as the story goes on , especially in this latest chapter (11) where we learn that the MC has still much to learn.
*But the most important part is that this title shows, as I said before, a well execution of a main character, his tools , abilities , encounters , they are all there working with the character to build the story , unlike other isekai ( any genre really but mostly this one) where the MC is pushed around by others and does little himself and if you take away their shiny sword you are left with a blank character.
- for the rest of the characters , they are actually likeable characters , the only problem is that theres no one interesting until the second part of the story.
Story/World (7): The story follows the adventurer “ Lecan “ also known as “The One-Eyed Wolf”. Lecan comes from a world filled with dungeons or as they call them “Mazes” and these mazes are always challenged by Adventurers such as Lecan who seek to get stronger , those lucky of them are said to encounter a “Black hole” , a portal to another world . it is said that those who entre it and survive what’s inside it and also manage to return will be rewarded with both wealth and strength. One day the MC “Lecan” faced a “Black hole” and went inside it without hesitation , and this is where the story begins.
After waking up , Lecan finds himself in a different world (obv…) where he doesn’t recognize the environment or the beasts around , yet he is still able to use his abilities without issue as shown with his first two encounters , the second one is important being it the one where he confronted other humans after saving them from monsters . After sometime given the fact that the human group was speaking an unknown language , Lecan was invited to the residence as thanks for saving them , and the story goes from there.
Art (8) : well for the art I’ll just be straight , I really enjoy this style its fantastic, simple and direct in a way meaning it doesn’t throw too much at once so it can let you focus on the important parts , unlike what I said in the character part , here in the Art the MC does stand out reason being the black or just dark color of his clothes and hair in contrast to the environment and the other characters.
Enjoyment (9): I’ll say it again , I am a huge fan of fantasy , and this title here delivers in almost every way without going through details and apart from that, it doesn’t release as often as I want it to be , but what can I do , the story isn’t progressing that fast which leaves at lot to be discovered and it can go in many ways , and that sadly doesn’t leave a lot of room for speculation , so far we are mostly invested in characters and less in world building , the balance between those two is what makes a great title in my opinion , but I like to look at this title as one of those….. I don’t know how to say it, but just those stories that aren’t really meant to be something great but they are just there for entertainment which is the main point of this medium.
