Another run of the mill, generic adventurer manga with a cute harem that suspiciously are happy to be wives of the same man. Usually it would be hard to give these kind of guilty pleasure reads anything higher than a 6 or 7 as the generic aspects designate the story to hit similarly subpar beats however this one has a few decent aspects.

While the latest addition to the harem falls in love way too fast, the prior members have an established backstory with the MC and honestly... Even I was falling for this MC. He isn't the run of the mill crybaby like Danmachi or ...

Mixed Feelings

Preliminary (6/? eps)

its kind of like the isekai wet dream of an incel who dreams of being the master of three cute little girls and becoming a superstar or whatever that genre could be classified as, but i guess that has an entertaining aspect to it. its like looking into the mind of a daydreamer, kind of like when you were a kid and while listening to the music on the radio you'd look out the window and imagine this really grand and detailed music video, or during class when i'd zone out and suddenly i've defeated the white dragon and became rich and overthrew the kingdom.

anyways ...

I don’t have a problem with wish-fulfillment manga; in fact, I quite like them. However, I do take issue when these stories don’t fulfill the “wish.” A crappy story is fine if it knows what it is and gives the reader what they want. A complex story, on the other hand, can deny its viewer base what they want because it has substance worth explicating. The purpose of these nuanced tales is communicating something meaningful to the audience, not placating them. Wish fulfillment, on the other hand, is geared toward satisfying the audience. When it does the opposite of that it defeats its own purpose.

If ... you present a harem you have to do something with that harem. Don’t make it a harem if the guy is going to wuss out. All of the women in this story like the lead Yuke and don’t mind sharing him. Cool. Have something happen between Yuke and the women that is substantive. This can happen progressively as the characters get close to one another.

In order to deepen these bonds, you have to test the relationship(s) somewhat. This can be done by creating challenges that two or more characters have to overcome. I believe the author made a mistake by not giving the female characters enough of a backstory – such as a past with conflict that needed resolving. Leaving them shallow only makes us question their attraction to Yuke. Yes, he is a Red Mage that used to be a part of an A-Ranked party who taught them about adventuring. But is that enough to justify just how close they become? The dark elf in Yuke’s party named Silk, for instance, has a hatred for orcs due to a war between the elven and orc races. Additionally, light elves and dark elves don’t get along – a dynamic that has political implications in the world. Placing Yuke as a catalyst for resolving that conflict, for example, would bring them closer together. This type of development would help progress Yuke’s relationship with the members of his party in a way that makes sense to the audience.

Some might argue that the expeditions Yuke has with the members of Clove (the name of his party) represent moments where the group gets closer. This is not entirely correct. Yes, the girls fight together and develop their skills in these moments. They also state how much they've come to love or care about Yuke. However, the members of Clove seldom have to overcome anything. Without doing so, how could they progress as a group? When a formidable enemy comes along, Yuke generally saves the day. The girls then receive powerups. Close calls in battle generally result in Yuke saying “I care about all of you” with sparkles bordering the screen and the girls blushing in appreciation. These instances do not constitute development but instead reinforce a trend where everything is perfect with and among Clove’s members. There is no opportunity for growth within this perfection.

I would be remiss to not mention Thunder Pike, Clove's enemy. A lot of the conflict of the series revolves around Yuke and his interactions with the leader of Thunder Pike, who mistreated him when he was a part of the group. Simon, the leader of the group and Yuke's childhood friend, is one of those comically evil jerkoffs who knows next to nothing about the logistics of adventuring and does not look out for the members of his party. Naturally, the group starts to deteriorate in the absence of Yuke (the support who is so powerful that he's not actually a support) and gains a bad rap.

Simon is a very easy character to hate. Being a dick is basically his only purpose in the series, which makes Yuke's treatment toward him questionable as the tension between both groups reaches its apex. The events of chapter 65, which I will not spoil, represented a tonal shift many readers were not ready for. I didn't mind this as much as I did Yuke's treatment of Simon. His goody-two-shoes nature really subtracted from the conflict in these chapters, despite what we know about Thunder Pike's actions. Finally, the lame battle in chapters 77-81 only further detracted from Yuke’s character. It took whatever satisfaction we might've garnered from the earlier chapters and threw it out the window. Overall, the Thunder Pike ordeal was drawn out much longer than it needed to be and made Yuke’s character look stupid.

The art is the best aspect of this series. The girls are attractive and distinct and the backgrounds are well drawn. I also like the character designs of some of the side characters. This is not one of those series where people look the same and you easily forget who is who. That aside, I find the series to be lacking – which would be more tolerable if it had Yuke make a move on the girls. Unfortunately, he’s one of those OP leads who denies most advances made by them and never provides a good response regarding his intentions besides “I care/love you all.” Yuke’s disposition is frustrating and kills my interest in the series. GoPro-kun, stop recording this and film some other party.

Ultimately, I recommend skipping this unless you don’t mind the lead backing out of almost every opportunity to get intimate with the women who love him.
