Disclaimer: This comment is basicly just me venting my frustration with this manga.

Idk man. I can't read this. It feels poorly executed. I got roughly to chap 30, but couldn't continue. The story up to that point felt like the amalgamation of like 2-3 different ideas that do not mesh well together.

The story literally went from: "The world is black and white, the team is on the right side and MC may turn to darkness", through "World is grey, the team may not be as good as they claim and MC is not actually a bad guy, just misguided" to "Black and white world, MC is the hero and the team is being mind-controlled by the baddie." A complete 180. And the reason I find this very sad is because the second concept is actually quite good. The moral conflict of what to do with "sinners" is a very interesting one. Of course, the author didn't have the balls to actually let the characters debate and fight over the issue. That's why he took one stance and radicalised it and made a strawman out of it, so that no one has to think about who the bad guys are and what the moral arguments of either side are. And these are only issues I have with the plot. There is also an issue of owercreep and that atrocious personality and character development of the MC. Terribly written character.

I have seen people, who enjoy it. I don't want to say that one can't enjoy this. It's much higher quality than some other similar stories, but there are issues here and there, which make it very difficult for me to read.

This manga seems to have the makings of a great story, unfortunately like many others, it is overly-ambitious.

As many had also pointed out, the story shifts between the battle of "good and evil" to "nothing is truly bad nor good" way too often. So much so that the story went from "good and evil are two sides of the same coin" to never let em know your next move. When presented with plot twists after plot twists, you begin to expect it at some point. It starts to look like the author is just trying to farm philosophy points from the readers. It is quite immersion breaking really.

Overall, the premise of the story is good. The plot is just too messy, instead of focusing on fleshing out one part of the story, it tries too hard to be "deep". This is just purely my opinion though.

I'll still continue to read it, but as others have said the way the Author executed some concepts felt useless in the long-run.
It felt like reading a person's ideas that they wanted to try out but was never sure where to really head the story's direction to, especially in the first couple of chapters. I hate how they handled the mc's story, since it felt like it was going to be hype with him potentially being a secretly evil character stealing everybody's talents with how he was originally obsessed over them and now found a way to use it, but then the author just decided "Ohh actually he's a wee lil baby, he can't actually decide to betray his allies" as if we'll just ignore those dark chapters with him literally being sinister and blatantly inhumane despite being a newbie to killing and being a reincarnator.

Now mc's just literally there existing, he's unironically so sidelined you'd think anybody else was the main character by now, no more deep digging to his thoughts, how he'd want to handle everything, etc. and it feels like the Author is just waiting to have him go through the Charlotte-route by the end.
I wish the author the best, it's obvious they have a lot of ideas to how to write their story, I just hope next time they do one it's got a more solid progression and no unresolved fake plot twists that never had a reason for being one
