The volume cover art kinda reminds me of 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim art style.

This is...not exactly deep but way better than I was expecting. The premise is at least interesting

More generic isekai dogshit with a decent artist.
Was about to say the exact same thing. Getting tired of boring protagonists w/zero personality and hax that kills any sort of tension but the art is goated. Reminds me of dusk maiden of amnesia.

I’ve looked up the RAWs up to chapter 30, and well, the manga has completely diverged from the novel it’s based on. Honestly, only the beginning aligns with the source material. Many interactions with supporting characters were omitted — most of them weren’t even introduced in the manga. While the overarching storylines share some common points between the novel and the manga, they’ve been simplified, had their context altered, or were brutally condensed in the latter. Events from the most recent chapters didn’t happen in the novel at all and were created solely for the manga.

The novel is still ongoing, and it’s hard to tell whether it’s nearing its conclusion or only halfway through. This likely led to the decision to alter the events in the manga to allow it to conclude independently of the novel.

"Demographic: Seinen"
Is it...?
I mean, in the most technical terms, it might be -- since it feels like it was made in circa 2000s, but in terms of art quality and writing quality. So this manga just might be nostalgia-bait for millenials.
Otherwise, going by the 1st chapter, for an example -- there's just no way you can dedicate an entire panel to:
"ODIN EDGE: WAR GOD BLADE"
and think someone over 18 will ever think that's cool.

Edit:
read all 11 chaps. Maybe the LN does it better, but the manga' writing is really low quality.
That being said, I do think the whole aspect of "the gods from myths are soul eating eldritch abominations" is pretty interesting, but it's wasted on this 2000-esque writing etiquette, full of ye olde tropes.

Mc is shown to be strong yet still struggles and is helpless in some fights.

The author keeps displaying how OP the mc is in this world yet always nerfs him when it counts
