Falls into a pattern of the author's voice being too strongly conveyed through the main character; this is most often noticed when Balud introduces new technology or comes up with a money-making scheme. The "two extra souls" gimmick helps make that overbearing voice less noticeable, but not by much. Furthermore, that gimmick, which is supposed to be a major part of what makes the manga interesting, isn't really utilized beyond making the author's voice less noticeable; having three souls is supposedly the reason for why Balud acts in certain ways (animal ear fetish, money fetish) and comes up with certain ideas (money-making schemes) but the author could have written Balud as a normal person with one soul and nothing would be drastically different. All of the female characters are pretty shallow, lacking much relevance beyond their relationship with Balud.
