This series was so unexpectedly anime. Chosen ones, reincarnations, training arcs, power levels, convenient amnesia, O MY EDGY MAGIC WITH THE PROPERTIES OF BOTH OVERPOWEREDNESS AND THE DEMONIC, mummy and daddy love me very much, books that start out pretty great but then become cliched or go full retard (the third book) and there's almost always one character who is obvious (because they're not in the main cast) and who betrays everyone.

First book: The first half was way better than the second half which then basically became a short version of the Chronicles of Amber (you know, the really shit part of it) in the most cliched plot and ending ever. Ironically it was actually better than the Chronicles of Amber (aka before Amber stopped being shit and went into full plot twist territory) because the world building wasn't retarded isekai shit. The worldbuilding was as good as the characters were literally two dimensional. I'm not going to attack anyone - Only the most realistic view of the world. Fucking retard.

The power of love saves the day the first time.

Second book: Ah the edgy training arc. The only good character's characterisation goes to shit. Random edginess! The MC literally an heroes - or did he? The villains clearly haven't read the Evil Overlord List and think that the best way to get the son guy to do what they want is to blatantly lie when all of them including the son can mindread - wtf I love lying now. The power of luv saves the day again.

Third book: The author probably takes drugs resulting in an LSD induced haze which is literally the Tom Bombadil episode of the series. Also the villains randomly show up to become completely BTFO because they're fucking idiots who literally spoonfed the character everything and who was obviously going to betray them. The power of love saves the again for the third time. The only good character, Darzid, dies like a bitch. Also, then Mr Pacificist-kun decides to kill his son for the contrived sake plot drama/filler but luckily a bath solves his out of characterness.

Fourth book: This book was actually great in the first 3/4s until it went full retard. Daughter girl reminds me of the Maker's daughter or was that a son from The First Law. Too bad the author can write great premises and retarded endings enmeshed in power levels. You guessed it, the power of love saves the day for the fourth time. At least the guy who reincarnated once and literally avoided death on two separate fucking occasions finally fucking died. I think.

It was like one of those trainwreck animes that you can't stop reading. Plots that you can't stop reading but in retrospect they were more full of holes than cheese. Also, Darzid didn't get enough fucking scenes, also he got absolutely rekt and died like a bitch.

Next read is VALIS.
