Maybe it is me but the line art is kind of hard to make out what is happening in some of the battle sequences. Interesting 1st chapter is what I have to say because I was expecting him to die after defeating the demon lord. If Lulua is really dead, then I feel sorry for Ares since now he's lost people that accepted him since Luce might not make it either. Also to note that page 31 made me laugh with Ork giving the thumbs up & the art being simplified for the demon lord's reaction to Are's confession. Thanks for the translations.

Honestly, didn't grip me.
This series seems to be prominently about OP characters duking it out, but from the 1st chapter, we can already tell the art is a bloody mess, and the characters are encouraged to chant chuuni shit like: "God Of Destruction: Endless Night, embrace and destroy!!11"

And honestly, rather than kidnapping them from separate dimensions, it'd be much better to have a cohesive cast of people from the same world / galaxy / whatever, that choose to go into that competition, for reasons.
Does that mean that makes the story much harder to write? Yes, but it also means it wouldn't be as half assed as whatever this seems to be.

It makes so much more sense when you know what is going on. I had no clue what was happening when I was cleaning the pages.

don't worry, it seems like Lulua's still alive but in a separated place from the mc (based on the summary)

Our heroes might be cooked. That darkness ability seemed too weak unless they can assemble more targets to siphon from. Lets see if the author can keep it interesting.

Yeah, the artist definitely needs to work on their action scenes; I don't know if the problem was the paneling or what, but it was really hard to follow what was going on beyond the most general "character A is attacking character B" level.

Thanks for the translation, regardless!

How is this series on my read list if the first chapter is just released today?
Mangas in the "recently added" section used to be those with a page created, while today it's only those with their first chapter added. Maybe you put it in your list at that time?
