I don't see "adaptation" tags or NovelUpdates link.

So here is the link:

Demon Lord Heiress’s Executor ~ The Incompetent Hero Banished to the Demon Lord’s Kingdom, Unrivaled with Hidden God Given Skills ~

Edit: Seems heavily based on "Tarot Cards" as a mechanic for Shonen battle / rom-com hijinx. Possibly dense-protagonist mixed in, with a dash of "Sidekick-System" if you read Korean manhwa. I'm reading the (MTL?) WN/LN to see how it goes for a bit.

Will say I wish manga adaptations would cool their jets during the intro chapters of isekai. I enjoy slow-burn worldbuilding; no need to jump immediately to the "abandoned by the hero's party" trope right away.

Edit #2: Well, I'm in at Vol. 1 Ch. 2.10 and "Moshi moshi, keisatsu desuka? This isekai MC right here."

It's very generically generic to the point of not being generically bad but generally generically boring and just... generic?

Rather than considering it cliche, I think of abandonment and evil summoners as genre requirements by now. . In any case, the character designs and art look promising, and I have a penchant for tarot card arcana anyhow (Cuz of Lord of the Mysteries).

I love the tarot card design on the cover!

Probably a dumb question but when did novelupdates stop putting even tl group's site links in for actively translated series/ actively tl'ing groups? Or do you now have to have an account to see them?? Either way i had an account there but haven't used it in so long I no longer have any way to access it. Still have access to the email used to sign up for it, but ain't seen shit in there from NU in terms of any kind of reason why they would change that...

Edit: yes I can still access the emai usedl to sign up for the account but had replaced it with one i no longer have access to as I had it deleted. So don't ask "why not just get its password reset then" because of course I can't in this case lol

Ehhhh woulda been better if everyone was given an arcana or reverse arcana card. Also this work doesn't need a harem, can people stop slapping on a bunch of women onto their works and focus on story development instead? (Lile seriously you are a butler, you don't need a harem)

Hey, not bad!

Okay well, that's an exaggeration. It's not amazing, but it's premise is interesting, but the execution is flawed. I have a soft spot for the tarot cards, which aren't used all that much in other stories, surprisingly, but the execution here leaves a lot to be desired.

The artstyle is good, so no complaints on that front, but the storytelling and pacing leave a lot to be desired. While there are stakes, their importance feels artificial, and most threats so far are introduced and dealt with in the span of a few pages. I foresee having a hard time getting invested into the plot later on, especially if there's going to be an unpalatable harem (I prefer my leads to be monogamous, thank you very much), but we'll have to see.

I will warn you that the perspective looks off on some pages, but such pages are few and far in between, and the author seems to be infodumping right now, but I'm hoping that will even out later, as only a minimal slowdown will be required to make it feel natural. Also, the plot is a little generic. Not generically bad, just sort of cliche, but it doesn't subtract much from the use of tarot cards

All in all, I'd still genuinely recommend this, because it's not bad. Just don't go in expecting anything too fancy

 

[ArroganzSensei]

Ok this seems promising

 

[Tuskboi]

If they having tarot cards. My inner JoJo fan will not let it slide if they won't add The World or Star Platinum

 

[AlphaFlow]

Sheesh, I got second hand embarrassment from reading this, it tries so hard to be cool it actually comes off as embarrassing lol.
Anyways, generic, pacings 2fast, everything happens just perfectly for the story to progress (feels artificial) and very predictible due to shallow writing.

 

[TheGodDave]

This is essentially just isekai persona without a good plot.

So the old-geezers that hide the MC status is a badguy or a goodguy?

 

[Demavend]

So the old-geezers that hide the MC status is a badguy or a goodguy?

My initial impression is neither. He's just a bored guy.

 

[Zeldazackman]

Made it to chapter four and not even the generic wolfgirl could save it.
There really isn't anything to write about with this title that hasn't been seen and done a hundred times before, often better...
Cutting my losses here and dropping it, as I'll be genuinely surprised if this even makes it to chapter 18 without being axed.

 

[Izaya_Onisai]

The art isn't bad, neither is the character design or the core idea but the execution is miserable, everything feels rushed and the emotions feel unbelievable forced.

 

[Slumbajak]

generic with no special qualities besides the tarot card-dropped

 

[Seraphineopai]

The title is the best part of this manga. Generic slop
