I think the author made a mistake when Antendixis asked Jilbagias (Alexander) if he wanted to return Lilianas' ego after she had already returned his. The taboo magic only works when it's applied to both the target and the host, so she should've gotten her ego back at the same time Alexander...

It's not like he became an emotionless machine. He resolved himself (in that chapter) that he will have to do some terrible things for his goal, but that doesn't mean he's not going to get pissed off when terrible things happen, especially when he didn't expect or prepare himself for it.

Near the end of the 1st volume. It's about to enter the 2nd volume. Be warned, there's a lot of "fluff" in the LN, at least in the early parts. I think the author probably got much better at writing as he went on, but I read some of the early parts and man, is it cringe at times.

I'm glad someone else commented on that. It was a small moment, but it was like a breath of fresh air. It's moments like that that make me believe the author is actually competent at writing, and the illustrator is in sync with the author's vision. Combining all that with how the current arc is...

This manga, insofar, has been a pleasant surprise. By all means, the potential is there for this to be utter trash, but equally so, there is potential for this to be a high-quality story. The author establishes in the first chapter that this is not a manga for the light-hearted, which it is not...
