Is It Wrong to Seek an Encounter in a Dungeon? The Last Zeus Familia

The protagonist's combat power is weak, his combat intelligence is average, his magic effects are mediocre, and his cheat ability is useless. Hera's wealth could at least be converted into some combat power. Knowing there's danger, what's the point of being a military policeman if you don't use your cheat ability?

Brothers, I've only read the initial introduction. Is the protagonist supposed to wait until Bell grows stronger before fighting the Black Dragon? It seems like the power level is being suppressed too much. If we're just waiting for Bell to rise up and save the world, what's the point of having a protagonist? Is this some old-fashioned supporting character fanfiction style?

Seeing Astraea's forced expedition, I now sense two major problems. First, the male protagonist has no freedom, will, or choices; he is just a pure toy. His life, death, and actions are all controlled by his master. The only difference between him and Haruhime is that his master has not yet forced him to sell the hook. Secondly, the male protagonist transmigrates to become an adventurer, but he doesn't read any of Zeus's books. If you really want to talk about how he transmigrated to a strange and cruel world, I can tolerate his mental confusion and unbalanced mindset, but he has already completed wilderness survival and still doesn't read them. The idea that "you have to study before you time travel and you have to study after you time travel, so it's not like you time traveled for nothing" is ridiculous. This person is no longer human! Ultimately, a mentally and intellectually normal person's first reaction upon arriving in an unfamiliar place is to gather information and figure out the situation. But the protagonist is different; he only knows the name of the place and roughly what it's about, but he doesn't even know how many heroes are on the mountain. He ignores information presented to him, spends all his time wanting to be beaten, and his mind is filled with thoughts of being a punching bag—he might be a masochist. As expected, once I entered Orario, I was like a blind man with my eyes open. My adventures relied entirely on peeking through the bushes, and when things went wrong, I ended up covered in blood. Fighting depended entirely on "holding on" and "staying focused." The fact that I survived being repeatedly tossed around by the dark faction and monsters was entirely due to the protagonist's halo. "Completely unaware of everything, big or small, life is full of adventure"—that's the essence of an adventurer. There's no need to know why you're fighting, no need to know who you're fighting, you don't need to think about anything, just wait for Zeus to arrange everything. Is this the male protagonist of your novel? The classic tactic of not being able to control the plot leads to characters experiencing intermittent amnesia or becoming mentally unstable, sometimes even adding a deus ex machina element…

Lately, it seems like you've been writing more about Bell than the main characters. The main characters' storylines are the same as the supporting characters', and they're written in a monotonous, repetitive style. Bell's storyline, on the other hand, feels more vivid and engaging. Isn't that putting the cart before the horse?

Judging from your book title, I thought the protagonist would be at least like Alphia, able to fight enemies two levels above him. Judging from the comments, it seems like this is something that can't even consistently beat opponents of the same level?

The protagonist's development ability is really quite poor compared to the protagonists of other DanMachi fanfics. What kind of ridiculous setup did they choose? Most other fanfiction protagonists have magic or mysticism, or even both, and they also have very rare development abilities. It's important to understand that you can only choose a few development abilities, and given the protagonist's experiences, he definitely had several to choose from each time, but the author never wrote that out; he always just selected them all.

Why is the main character getting weaker and weaker? What about your stats? You have 500 more stats than everyone else at each level. I don't understand how a level 8 character can take damage from two level 7 characters. Why could you fight a level 8 character at level 7, kill a level 5 character at level 4, and now you can't even fight a level 9 character at level 8?

Having read a third of it, here are some thoughts for readers who haven't finished reading. Overall quality: Medium Pros: The plot isn't overly illogical, the main character is well-developed and likable, and other characters don't have noticeable out-of-character moments. The reading experience is a bit sloppy in the early stages, but it gets much better after Orario comes along. The author previously wrote Sound! Euphonium, and this one is DanMachi. I was worried that the fight scenes wouldn't be well-written, but they turned out to be quite good. It's pretty good, especially considering the small DanMachi fandom. The author must have done their research, so it's worth reading. Shortcoming: 1. The initial plot was flawed. Levels 1-3 or 4 were outside of Orario, with a maximum combat power of only 7. This means the protagonist was almost at the limit of leveling up as soon as they entered Orario, which is why some say the author suppressed the combat power. This makes it difficult to write the satisfying feeling of leveling up and the gradual growth of relationships with other characters. The early to mid-stages are usually the most engaging parts of web novels, and the author's approach in the early stages definitely increased the difficulty for themselves. 2. The author's atmosphere description is passable, but Omori's original work is quite good at creating a sense of adversity and resilience. However, the two crises leading up to the fight with Eren didn't quite manage to build a strong emotional flow, which is a bit of a shame. You saved two regiments! A more detailed description would have been better! 3. The slice-of-life moments are just too much! The romantic scenes aren't nearly enough, and the bonds between the characters feel a bit thin. With so many characters and so many beautiful girls, even without romance, you could have focused on their interactions before, during, and after the adventure—their preparations, their relaxation—which would have been great for padding the word count, developing the characters, and fulfilling the purpose of fanfiction in spreading the love of the genre. Rushing into pushing the story forward would just turn it into a power level story, wouldn't it? Besides, the author started with Sound! Euphonium, so this should be your strength. Light novels are supposed to be character-driven, right? I hope the author will be more conscious of showcasing and developing the characters in future installments.

The ending of Volume 9 was poorly handled, reminiscent of the flaws of an old novel from eight years ago. While it's good that the parallel world's past timeline made up for regrets, the characters came and went alone afterward, leaving the newly established relationships behind. Then, the aunt in that timeline "observed" another "new" protagonist eight years later. What do you take the protagonist for? What do you take the relationship between the protagonist and his aunt in the new world line for? The protagonist has lost his uniqueness, and the emotional relationships are made to seem like they can be inherited by "someone else". A deformed and abstract clone of Lei.

This was originally a decent DanMachi fanfic; fanfics that don't go out of character (OOC) are halfway to success, and this one did. However, after the protagonist reaches level 5, the plot becomes disjointed and seems to lack a clear objective. Also, the perspective shifts too frequently. Web novels should ideally focus on the protagonist's point of view; inserting too many other characters' actions or storylines annoys me. (I didn't finish DanMachi because I was deterred by the side stories that overshadowed the main story...) Look at Stormwind from the other site; this one could even be written in first person and still create a grand atmosphere.
