Tokyo Shrine Priest's Shikigami Chronicles

Everything was fine until the beginning, why did they have to include a plot point about ghosts being protected by law? I don't understand, is the author's thought process always this strange?

Since demons and spirits are protected by law, why didn't Natsume Arata say anything when the protagonist tried to forcibly turn her into a shikigami? She could have simply said, "If you come any closer, I'll call the police," instead of threatening to die. The author's suggestion of legal protection feels like a spur-of-the-moment decision.

According to the author, the protagonist raises Ying as his daughter. However, when the protagonist's daughter was repeatedly beaten by an adult man, who even tried to kill her, I couldn't see how angry the protagonist was. He even had to compromise with others and do their bidding in order to get revenge. Did you find this book really enjoyable to read?

It's true, but some jokes are bad when used repeatedly. For example, the suspicion that the protagonist might do something to the samurai gods, especially given the morbid Japanese worship of the strong, makes it annoying to suspect something every time a new character appears. Adding some shrine construction, like a scenic area, would be very suitable for this kind of farming/development story.

The pace is too slow now. Mainly, you can't touch this monster, you can't kill that ghost, and the law even protects ghosts that attack people. So this isn't a human society at all? Are there no humans at the upper levels? So what's the deal with the demons and monsters the protagonist killed at the beginning? So as long as he kills fast enough, the law can't catch him?

Monsters protected by law? Anyone with a modicum of logic wouldn't come up with such a ridiculous premise. First of all, they're different species, and secondly, monsters aren't innocent little rabbits; they're constantly causing harm. For weak humans to use the law to protect powerful monsters? Author, are you kidding me?

Damn, it's very well written, the pacing is great, and I really enjoy the satisfying feeling of gradually becoming stronger. The system is also well-designed; it doesn't make the protagonist a mere tool, but rather provides just the right amount of support. Also, if there's a female lead, I hope it's a multi-female lead story! 😋

I don't understand why in this book, every time someone gets close to a woman, it's assumed they're lustful or have ulterior motives. How lowly are they? It's one thing, but from beginning to end, any woman who gets close to the male protagonist is suspected, either by other women, of trying to rape him or do something bad. It's like this from beginning to end. Isn't that disgusting?

Ghosts are protected by law and successfully persuaded to leave.

I read this book for a while, then put it down for a few days and couldn't pick it up again. To be honest, it's a shame. The writing is decent, and it even has some good characters and a comfortable premise (an open-ended setting where ordinary people in a modern world know about the existence of monsters).
