Demon Slayer: Starting as Kaigaku

The psychological portrayal of the original Kaigaku is excellent; there are no grand illusions, and he is down-to-earth. The character of the Kaigaku in this version also fits the character's personality well, which is great. It's unclear whether it's a single-female-lead or multi-female-lead story. There is an original female lead, but in this version of Kaigaku, the magatama was actually given away?! Kaigaku fans should proceed with caution.

It's a good read. The protagonist's inner thoughts are both funny and endearing, and he grows up quite quickly. Given his personality, there shouldn't be a female lead, right? As long as they don't force a romance, it'll be fine as it is. If all else fails, they could add an extra chapter with an "what if" scenario or romance.

Good food deserves a reward!!! He's definitely a rising star, right? (The author's psychological descriptions of Kaigaku are very detailed and insightful, showing considerable research into the character.) The plot is logical and avoids any out-of-character or inconsistencies. Will Kaigaku become a Pillar after the Yuuka arc?

It's very well written, but Higashino actually gave away the magatama. Also, I thought it was a no-couple pairing, but when I read this part, I felt that Mochizuki was a potential couple. It's really my own fault. I hope the author can add a tag to indicate whether there's a couple or not? (This is just my opinion, please don't scold me.) The author writes very well.

A very good story. Please note that Shinobu Kocho and Kaigaku are a couple, so be aware of that.

After watching the Demon Slayer movie, I was really struck by Zenitsu's line when he used the Fire and Thunder God Technique: "This is a technique I want to use when I fight alongside my senior." In the original work, Kaigaku's childhood experiences of helping demons eat people, his interactions with Zenitsu, and his grandfather's seppuku after becoming a demon all really bothered me.

It was great up to the end, and the writing handled everyone's emotions very well. The first "what if" scenario involving the demonization was also very interesting, but unfortunately the pacing was too fast. To be honest, the title and synopsis aren't very appealing. The title, "Starting from...", Makes it seem like an infinite flow or role-playing game, and the synopsis is even more unpleasant.

Although written in the first person, the overall experience isn't too bad. Secondly, while the writing style isn't exceptional, it's not amateurish either. The author dissects the Demon Slayer world, and some details are written with great finesse. Moreover, every minor character and every extra has their own significance. Although they die, they leave their mark.

The author is undoubtedly a genius, with excellent writing skills, and has done his homework; he has the potential to become a master. This book reminds me somewhat of Lonely Master and The Great Sage's Tale, but it's more like A Song of the Wanderer. "Treading the Song" is an unfinished book.

It's very well written; it's exactly like Kaigaku himself! The character is very well-developed!
