My review comes from reading the Light Novel.
I started off loving this story. But ultimately ended up growing frustrated, it took great effort to stick through 60% of the story. Finally enough was enough and I skipped to the last 20 or so chapters and skimming them. LN translations were done...

lol why! He's already incapable of keeping to his original deal. Plus no one would throw away all this negotiation leverage and agree to nonsense all or nothing gambling.
IDK if it matters what he did in the past. That dude just kidnapped, then shot his magic at the town with intent to kill. They are garbage humans no matter what.
