Really great. Not exactly original but done very well. The dragon power was interesting and not really overused in these types of stories ( I can only recall it in one other story with my dragon eye baby “The returners magic should be special”). The side characters have completely developed characteristics and the side relationships seem so realistic to me. Low key I am fangirling over the secret relationship between the Saint and the nun. The fact that they can’t claim their son as their own is heart breaking. And the Saint can’t just leave the church because of his divinity and ties to the goddess of light as a embodiment of her power. They can’t get married or display their love but they are devoted to each other. You can see glimpses of their relationship in the MC memories before the time leap to the past and when the Saint was killed by the main character because the Saint was being controlled by the demon sect ( with the skill hive in which you make others ingest a worm that takes control over their body and mind). The nun the Saints lover asked to be killed with him because her son ( their child ) and the man she loved is dead and then said that he was her life and her life was now gone. The loyalty and devotion was something you don’t usually see in these stories because they usually revolve around cheap relationships stemming from lust and charisma rather than the husband-wife dynamics. I know I talked about these two characters a lot but they are definitely more minor characters than anything else but it wasn’t just them. Even the minor characters had complex stories, relationships, and ambitions. Weirdly I know more about the random side character’s than about the main character. Boy is a cyclone of mystery. His sidekick, the Saint, The Demons, some random powerful twins, the merchant lady, the mage, the knight, etc. I have gotten thorough background knowledge on all of these characters that I will likely never see again but… The Information on the MC is quite little. He was a slave in his early twenties which is what he was until chapter 36. Before that he was an adventurer. His family? Why he became an adventurer? Why he became a slave? Who the women he keeps seeing in his flashbacks? His lover? How did he get powerful to begin with? How did he meet is now sidekick in his past/future life? The questions are endless. But I am sure all will be revealed with time.
