Synopsis.
This was just... bad on so many levels.
So. Why did I read this book, when it was objectively bad almost from the get-go.
Well, I've watched the anime (all seasons out) and it keeps getting better, but even the first season, that was focused on the whole pick up girls thing was better than this book.
What was bad:
- The writing: it was like reading the actual script for the anime. There were literally parts where the dialogue went as such: "Gwraaht", "!", "...". I have no idea what any of this means, I guess the first one is monsters growling I suppose
- The fact that Bell, the main character was 14 YEARS OLD and all the women interested in him were adults and/or hundreds of years old goddesses. And they referred to the humans as "children" which made it creepier
- The over sexualization of the women by focusing on physical attributes, like Hestia's "ridiculously big boobs" and her childish face
- It's basically a tween's fantasy, but written for adults and that is seriously creepy.
- The plot was nonsensical and thin.
