The book is quite good. It's an Onmyoji fanfiction that borrows information about the shikigami (spirits) but doesn't use the plot of the Onmyoji game. Its specific genre could be considered a combination of light novel, original fantasy, and game system. It's a very well-written novel, highly readable. I read through all the updated chapters in one go and am really looking forward to the next chapter. Keep up the good work, author!!
Haha, the author's first chapter is interesting! It starts with the demon girl Momiji, a total cross-dressing master 😜😜. Even when faced with a cheat-like advantage, she remains calm, unlike other novels where she's like a country bumpkin, completely overwhelmed with shock. I've added this book to my collection, hahaha, I'll wait until it's fully developed before reading it.
It's quite good, although it's a niche genre, but it's very well written. I hope the author can update more frequently.
Wherever the author goes, I'll go.
See for yourself.
I don't have any big requirements, I just hope you don't mess it up.
I've really gotten cocky, I even checked out all three chapters!
It's clear the author is using a subset of the yokai (supernatural beings) in Onmyoji as a starting point, but in reality, the yokai in Onmyoji only represent a portion of Japanese yokai. If you'd like to expand the scope further, I recommend the author buy a book called "Hyakki Yagyō" (Night Parade of One Hundred Demons), which is an illustrated guide to Japanese yokai, similar to the Chinese Classic of Mountains and Seas.
I started following the book around chapters 20-30. Every day after get off work, the first thing I did was check my computer to see if there were any updates. Reading this book felt like watching real life unfold. Whose life is "smooth sailing"? Often, as I read, tears would involuntarily stream down my face.
I feel like this protagonist should just be an invincible character from the start... He clearly knows he's strong; he could sink Tokyo with so many meteorites, yet he's still worrying about this and that... He doesn't seem like a cautious and brave type, but rather a knowing-but-ignorant type, it feels too contrived... Um, and the female lead, Akizuki, is overly tsundere.
