Story 4/10: Its a very generic story that has been done before with very slight variations on what has been done a million times with a very predictable twist in regards to the antagonist.
Art 7/10: The art was very good in terms of composition and detail however what keeps this from being any higher is that as a series focused on battles the fights are very lackluster as the power system is so basic especially in regards to the main character who just slashes things till they stop moving, its just not engaging in the slightest when compared to for example hunter x hunter, FMA, Naruto, etc. where the fights are more fluid and tactics exist outside punching harder.
Characters 3/10: The characters are i think the weakest part of the series as a whole, the main character is praised by many by being different but hes probably the weakest character outside of the boring self insert characters in generic battle shounen. His motivation of interacting with women is so one note and played for laughs so many times its boring, its obvious when they try to pretend to subvert expectations by making it seem like he is being altruistic but end up being for his one and only goal it is so predictable it just lacks all comedic value as they were obviously going for that gag over and over. Also there are characters in the series that are killed off with so little development, people praise it for being subversive however with little to no development with some sudden deaths how can i care for these copy paste characters who seem to be tailor made so hard to be subversive of tropes they go full circle and end up oddly generic.
Enjoyment 4/10: The only reason i kept reading was all the hype and i figured i was missing something or haven't reached the good part yet till i reached the very end and i never got the slightest view of anything anyone was praising. I can see the anime improving at the very least the issue with the fights as Mappa can make some really good fight scenes with fluid animations but overall i felt like my time reading this manga was wasted and should have read anything else.
Overall 5/10: It wasn't bad overall but it was so boring i would have preferred reading a straight out bad manga over this or one that was actually good. It is so forgettable im mainly writing this as my first review as a way to organize my thoughts as otherwise i might just forget this series exists otherwise and keep this as a cautionary tale to ignore over hyping in the future.
