Great first chapter! Sets up the world and its characters in an interesting manner that really makes you want to find out more! Also, lots of great art!

I used to be a huge Act-Age stan before the author got arrested. Since the Princess Iron Fan Stageplay arc I have been wanting to see what Usazaki could do with a full fantasy setting and it seems I am getting what I wanted all these years later.

I was so hyped for this that I even started reading Iruma to get a sense of what the author could do and honestly it has potential.

The next chapters are probably gonna be a bit dense with worldbuilding but that is a small price to pay if it means the potential of this world gets fully explored.

Can definitely spot some of the Iruma humor in there

Absolutely adored the first chapter! A good mix of character and lore with a pretty bangin' fight scene. I'm a particular sucker for the panel layouts, they read really nicely and led the eye easily to each next panel.

Good first chapter, that Abyssal Witch design is absolutely fire. Story was fun but rather basic, interested to see how where it goes on that front.

Feel very confident the art and panelling will stay top tier throughout so hopefully it can get some traction early on and be given time to develop properly.

Potential is through the roof on this one! Pacing is not great so far but I think it's worth sticking with for a while

  what are you waffling about bro, pacing xd they went through his backstory, introduced the magic system and he got powers in 1 chapter tf you want
  cosmicturtle0 1y
  yeah that's way too much for one chapter bro lmfao

  it's the SJ way, you basically need your chapter 1 to be a one shot to actually get people, you don't wanna drown and get axed. read like akane abashi chapter 1, or earthchild chapter 1

The first chapter is honestly interesting! The art is so good, I loved Act-Age's artstyle and seeing it here makes my heart warm. The MC and Desscaras looks really good ngl, and I can smell Iruma humor in here.

not a huge fan of this first chapter, the magic system seems cool but that's about it

I'm really excited about this story! I love the author story Iruma, and heard about what happened to the artist. Her art is really good and I'm really like the main character first impression.
