The art is fine most of the time, but the story and dialogues are garbage.

btw, add comedy tag for this one.

His two friends could definitely die from having their legs cut, but they are not shocked or traumatized.

I don't understand this :

The lines are clearly bad, i think the drawing has been moved to the right to have a more dynamic layout, then the author had to extend the lines ?
Anyway, it's poorly done.

This is the same author as the comic about the blind girl and her crush and the 4p love stories...The fuck...?!

Part of me understands that perspective but part of me finds that it's so over the top and ridiculous and its relatively self-aware of how corny it can be, so I enjoy it. I can understand why someone would dislike it, but I'm invested enough to see where it goes. It's definitely piqued some interest. @Serverclosed

It's trying to do so many different things but I don't feel like it does any of them well.
Action is generic hack and slash, enemies too generic and get killed to quickly to be interesting.
Horror isn't actually scary, can't take it seriously when everybody is chill about having their legs cut off.
Drama ruined for the same reason can't feel a sense of risk or tension.
Romance is imo ruined by the implied age gap.
Comedy, assuming it's trying to have it would just be the randomness of it all which I wasn't feeling.
Poor world building, focuses on making something relatively mundane like maids into some secret organization. A cliche which many other series have done much better.
Poorly motivated villains. They want to be maids, so they kill people? Are people supposed to empathize at all with that? Probably not since they're faceless enemies who exist to get killed, but then MC sympathizes with them in what would seemingly be a heartfelt moment if it was justified, instead its just because the MC's main trait is to be unrealistically sympathetic to everyone.
Too edgy to take seriously but not edgy enough to be funny or scary.

Yeah it's only the first chapter, but it was a long chapter and that's the opportunity to establish the tone and premise of the series.
Maybe the author is trying something different, his story about the glasses girl had the opposite extreme issue, nothing notable ever happening after dozens of chapters.

Quite fun, This is too light-hearted to consider a horror even thought they have blood. More like comedy with gore
