Meridian's manga / #Action(18)

I ADORE the MC, who is just learning her actual personality after being basically a fighting doll her entire previous life. Great character continuity throughout, the author gives us a really good understanding of her logic and why she does anything. Also, she's a badass. Like, really cool and makes me fangirl. Aside from that, you never really have to debate who the ML is, only one person really makes sense given her personality and everyone is aware of their position. No one's left super upset or pining over the MC. Well, other than the actual ML.

Seemed decent enough from the beginning to the middle, but the end felt super generic and rushed. I liked MC, his sidekick/friend, and the power system. What sucked were the villains, they felt so one-dimensional even though they had clear motivations. The climax didn't have a proper build-up at all, it just came out of nowhere and led to the end immediately. The ending was a literal deus-ex-machina where a bunch of gods that we have never seen or even heard of joined in the fight so MC would win. I did enjoy the epilogue though, where all the powers disappeared from the world (except for MC hehe). Gained half a star from ending on a good note. 2.5/5 stars

I tried so hard to keep reading for the MC. His motivations were perfect, trying to get back his wife and daughter. It made everything he did so meaningful. Then the way he connected to the side character and treated him like a younger brother was wholesome and such a strong bond! What I couldn't deal with was the pacing. So many fights happen where I just feel bored, we get so much information that doesn't push the plot forward (just throwing fluff at us). Like I don't care about anything other than MC getting his family back and I just want to skip to the end and see if it happened or not.
