Author makes antagonists (Lucius, Riess, Nidoll - Proxia) so despicable and powerful, that in the last 12 years (14 volumes), they have done more in this alternate reality world than the main character Rio (Haturo). Rio, Haturo has not achieved anything in all of this time. (except become their punching bag, let them violently murder his mom, let them murder complete villages, cities, etc, change the rulers in Beltrum, etc.) The author has made human trafficking, monster stampedes, massacres, terrorism, sexual assault, physical and emotional abuse, of at least 4 different kingdoms (Beltrum, Galarc, Rubia, Spirit Folk Forest). These evil characters have made a Hell of this world. They are unstoppable and no one knows why they want to destroy this world. For 14 volumes, about 12 years, Haruto has tried to become invisible so that no one in this world has a conflict with him. Since the violent murder of his mom, at five years old, Rio has been seeking revenge. 12 years have passed and the evil antagonists of this light novel are more intelligent, more daring, more cunning, and better at achieving their goals. What is the point to make the evil nobles and antagonists of this series stronger than Rio and his friends? What is taking so long for this series to complete its plot arcs? Each volume is short. About 7 chapters, 140 pages. The characters are diverse, but none strong enough to change this hellish world. The summoned "heroes" worry more about their intimate relationships (feelings and emotions) than training to become stronger than the evil nobles that enslave, manipulate, blackmail them. The "Gods" never make an appearance and the objective to the summoning of the "heroes" is still unclear on Volume 14. There is no point to this light novel. I do not see anything positive in this series, nor in this volume 14.
A nice and quick to read book. The story flows nicely, although in this volume the author expand a lot on the previous volume. A new hero is introduce, but surprisingly it shares a lot in common with the rest of heroes. The author seems to have the same model for all the male characters in this book. But still this volume was fun to read, will be waiting for next one in this serie.
Amazing, yet sad to see so much toxic masculinity in men Other than the main character.
Very well written but story needs more likeable, male supporting characters. (I can't believe Goodreads needs more words for a review lol (oh, it's going both places😇
Another excellent addition to the series with the main character evolving his power further. Some villainous but clever plots by the villains, and heart pounding moments appear as well.
Starting to flag a bit. It feels like the story mostly goes sideways, instead of advancing. More characters with their own sub-plots. Do we really need them?
