Basically hentai

by Dzrian

Rating: N/A

It was hot or kinky i guess but kinda bs plot as well. Unnecessary stuff bs and even NTR. Bruh iirc basically fked a girl and let her man fuck some women and see if both can hold on. The girl does but the guy seems to be broken and just want to fk women, and that's how she's now in his harem. Bruh what kinda logic.

If this guy wants to fuck your girl, you bet he'll fuck her and she'll even affectionately join his harem after.

The MC is Just A Conduit for Awful Things

by LazyReviewer

Rating: 2.0 / 10.0

I only read this, against better judgment, because I was horny. That's it. But there was something different about it that kept my attention for longer than just a thoughtless borderline-H story. There were some interesting reasons for some of the stuff that was done (not that it was right, just that there was more substance to the story, at least initially, than I expected).

Unfortunately, or maybe fortunately since I really do need to avoid nudity as I try to kick this porn habit, the story took a dump on anything it had going for it when the main character considered doing something truly awful with no logically consistent reason for it.

You see, at the start of the story, the main character was the assistant to a mage he seemingly loved who was betrayed by someone from a kingdom. He was the assistant, and he didn't betray her. So in his mind, who should he not be afraid of now that he's the master?

But the author just wanted the main character to do evil things for the sake of doing evil things, all while trying to justify it through what is essentially a plot hole caused by contradicting the MC's backstory.

Ultimately, it seems the author doesn't care about making a good story, they just want to have their protagonist do awful things, regardless of whether it makes sense. I can't understand why else they would betray the MC's backstory like that.

It's a hard skip from me, even if there wasn't any nudity.

I really wish the artist's talent was used for something better than this story, as the art is something I liked. It's the only reason I'm not giving this a 1.

Pointless depravation, no thanks

by PZcolo

Rating: 2.0 / 10.0

The MC is too much of a piece of sh*t for me to have any interest in this and there really is no point to his cruelty for the most part. Mass murder, rape, manipulation, brainwashing, hypnotism, needles to say, lying to his teeth and who knows how many more things that have not yet happened. After 10 chapters I just lost the little interest I had, my disgust is more intense and I see no reason to read a crap like this. There is no haigher purpose, no redeeming reason, nothing, 1 page talking about revenge at the start but that's it, we don't even know on whom he wants revenge upon or even if they are alive 70 years later.
Not my cup of tea and I wouldn't like to know those who find this likable either. Only reason this is not a 1 is because the art is good.

If Borderline Hentai sat on the borderline

by izumabakumatsu

Rating: 6.0 / 10.0

Exactly as it says. We have a rather OP and cunning MC. A certain event makes him lose all trust in humanity (Especially guys), He builds a dungeon, he builds a harem, he conquers everyone around him.

Do no expect the nudity and sex to be a side snack (like quite a few adult seinen), it's the bread and butter in this series while the plot is the side snack. Fortunately, author does write a not-too-bad plot.
That said, it gets repetitive really quick. Aur wants to do something (or about something), he gets his eyes on a female, either the female submits to him or he rapes/'coerce' the female into his slave, the 'slave' REALLY adores him after that, he gets whatever objective that he wants. I do applaud some of the subtler and cunning things he does, and magnificent bastards like Aur are a dime a dozen as MCs, but I do wish we can see him up against an opponent who is just as magnificent as a bastard as he is... and Aur gets NTR'd by that person. Just to we can see the despair and anger on his face, just for the fun of it. Of course, the opponent he's faced so far, some have made him lose his stone-faced facade but he still manages to recover and turn the tables just as quick. Somewhat of a disappointment for my sadistic heart. Not even in the LNs have we get something more satisfying. Hence, expectation on this improving is not high for the manga.
The few comedic moments are not too bad. Nicely slipped in between Aur having sex with everyone, or when they are planning something. The series is not all about Aur having sex with all the females. It does have some nice battles going on, but nothing on the levels of Action-focused nor even Mind-battle focused Seinens around.

Characters-wise, they tend to be a little bland. The males apart from Aur get a few shots if they're lucky, a certain male in recent chapters gets a bit more time but nothing too much. The females gets fleshed out (Obviously) a lot more, yet they all tend to be slaves of desire for Aur after he has his way with them. What this does is that even when Aur does manage to 'coerce' a female to his harem, the impact is light, sometimes even disappointing, especially when after one sex session, they all just LOOOOVE his meatpipe.

The 'coercion' with Alan's party was not too bad, expecially Wikia but it still lacked that impact when you read an good NTR story. The same with our esteemed hero (who got into the same repetitive plot again) in post-vol.3 chapters.

It is such a waste, since it is not often you get this kind of setting (Evil guy, Rapes and NTRs all females to his harem, kills all guys who he doesn't like) and that Evil guy is the MC of the story. Such dissatisfaction.

Even Aur's own motivation for all the things he does is rather... bland. The way he lost his trust in humanity is... stupid and rather immature at the very least.You'd think having 7 decades of live would make his motivation be a lot... grander, less teenager-like, and more... evil. This is just my personal feeling though.

Visual-wise, Komiya-sensei has always had a nice way of drawing characters. I am glad they did not use the rather stone-faced looks of the LN design. Being the type of manga it is, censorship is only lightsaber meatpipes for the males (Aur) and barbiedoll nether region for the females. Certainly not something you want to read in the open. The females does look exquisite enough to just read the manga to see the without worrying much about the story. I do think the facial expressions can be improved, some of them look rather awkward for the situation they are in.

All in all. If you're used to stories where you are the bad guy and you keep using underhanded but cunning tactics to get your victory, this is not a bad thing. If you a sadistic heart and you can empathize with an evil MC, not a bad thing to go through once. On the other hand, it's not something you will read again and again even if you like the genre it contains.
On the other hand, even if you're used to some of the darker seinens, but if you're not used to a guy pretty much raping and NTR-ing everyone into his harem, you probably won't like this series. It does not have much in terms of other fruits of delight. It's probably a level higher than most stupid Harem-making-because-I-have-A-cheat-power WN/LN/Manga out there, but it isn't that grand of a series. Merely something you pick up, flash through, and put down.

I would give it a 7 if we get more despair in this series, but alas, a 6 is most that I can give. Mayhaps it can change in the near future.

Not for everyone

Slight Spoilers ahead...Mc has problems, with people that is. He was a war orphan and imo this developed into a hatred for mankind and mostly towards men.Being weak and not being able to prevent anything in his life push him search of infinite power.Then control individuals around him.He does what he wants atm and has a purpose though you may feel there is no ''plot'' in it.All in all we have power hungry villainous protagonist that is far from main stream mangas.I say give it shot for refreshing yourself.

This is just a hentai

This had a plot but most of it is hentai.
The first two chapter were alright but then the rest just ruined the whole thing... The one thing I want to know is why the hell is this consider a manga? If it was a hentai then maybe I would't bitch about how crappy this manga!

This is just a sorry excuse for a hentai.

Love it, this is a middle finger to hero complex

Rating: N/A

I truly enjoy the tears of those moral slaves as I watch your typical shonen MCs with hero complexes get dismantled one by one. What else to say, if you like to take a break from those self righteous moral bound copy paste Shonen MCs, this manga will be right up your alley. I enjoy every moment of those "innocent" tears. 10/10. Need more.

This manga is SUCKS

by okuta38

Rating: 1.0 / 10.0

First time I saw this manga, I was interested because the art is good. But after I read many chapter (until chapter 13), I was bored and didn't find any enjoyment in this manga. Though I tried read raw manga it's still the same and very dissapointment. The MC is a bastard, the women is stupid, the plot is lame, so I say this is my first harem manga that sucks and full of sh*t. I won't read it anymore.

Novel is so much better

by Trimutius

Rating: 9.0 / 10.0

Well, manga kinda doesn't mention most of the parts that are important for plot. While in the novel author spends a lot of time to explain decisions of Aur and it makes a lot of sense and adds deepness to the plot, in manga it is only action, so it is lacking the most important part. But oh well, there is not much of English translation of novel unfotunately (i was reading it in Russian translation, as that translation is even ahead of manga)

Manga for horny teenagers that

by trips

Rating: N/A

Author had some complexes that's for sure. Whole story is about powerful mage getting laid and increasing his influence in kingdom. Intercourses have as much time as plot and both are on same shallow lvl. I would say that its too weak for hentai and way to weak for fantasy adventure story.
