It abandons a lot of typical shonen tropes and plot points in favor of cool fights and exponentially escalating stakes. This serves as a double edged sword.
On one hand, it feels refreshing to see a series that doesn't drag itself through dull moments and just gets straight to the point. Skipping to the good stuff, so to speak. And it just happened that the good stuff is great action set pieces where characters with unique sets of power can flex their power, skills, and wits.
Speaking of which, the power system in this series is very weak. It's basically just whatever goes. While each character has their own set of rules of what they can and can't do, it doesn't have a structure that governs the power system of all characters. Except for a very few skills that everyone can learn, a lot of the powers that really matter are inherited and unique to an individual. So if you were born with crap power, you're screwed. Furthermore, even when a character's power has a set of rules that dictates what they can't do, a lot of these rules are revealed when it is convenient to the plot, without any setup.
Now on the other edge of the aforementioned sword, skipping through the dull moments made this series suffer in its character writing and development. If you are someone who looks for character interactions that are not fighting, you will be greatly disappointed. But what this series made up for what it lacks in that regard is its ability to write distinct personalities for each of its characters. Each character's personality stands out and takes center stage almost as pronouncedly as their power. This will make you easily latch onto a character in no time. And with each one of them having a very distinct personality, there's a character for everyone.
Now this review might imply that this series is more style over substance. And I cannot say that you're wrong. But that style is nothing like any other manga could give you, so even that is enough reason for you to stick around, just to be showered by the spectacles.
