Missed on a golden opportunity on naming the guy Chuck instead of Sam.

(Chuck Wagon, in case you don't get it)

I personally think that the Origin segments are A LOT better than the Lambda ones, because
they actually make sense, and are more than "Vandar (I refuse to call him any other way, any other translation is plain wrong. His name is a composition of Van and Darcia, and it's literally said at various points in the story, and Vandar is a correct reading of his name in katakana) comes to a place, everyone adores him because plot convenience (before you get to know what the "abyssals" are, there is no reason for half of the people enchanted by him to be enchanted by him. And I'm speaking about the ghouls, for example, who are NOT undead in Lambda), nothing can actually hurt him and he kicks someone's ass and wins". The characters in Origin are actually well made, their limitations are explained, they actually do things and have actual problems which are not solved conveniently. There are actual plot twists and you get to actually see them evolving and thinking. The fight against the terrorists is, at least for me, the best part of the whole novel by a great stretch.

The gouls are part of the Vampire family if I remember correctly, so they are in part undead. For the origin parts, yes the fight was the highlight and it was absolutely amazing, but the rest was, in my subjective opinion, more a build up towards that and character presentation. Tho I give you that between his quest for food and his golem development it was a nice breather.

I'm trying to remember where he got else directly adored? By the humans, it was more because he saved them. The scylas because he brought the ghost back and the goddess told them. The pigs and insects because he saved them and health the emperor and was the holy son. The Titans, well they where suspicious of him but he brought their (dead)family members with them and saved them(again). Though it is a kind of a theme that he gets a really nice treatment from any monsters he comes into contact with there is always some kind of reason and not simply pulled out of nothing.
But that is only how I felt and I somewhat expected it and wasn't thrown off by it.

And where did exactly they state that he has any skill to charm vampires? This is one of the biggest inconsistencies in the novel, what is and what is not affected by a skill that has a targetting restriction. Bees? Affected by "Death Charm". Vampires? Treated as insects, just like slimes. When he arrives at the ghouls, he should not have any "Charm" skill that can affect them since they are not related to death in any form. You can say that vampires are descendants of an undead (even though Zakkart had little to do with other undead, and he was more of a golem since he lacked a soul) and thus related to death, and by extensions, ghouls are too, okay. When he meets the Scyla, "Death Charm" triggers (this is stated in the novel) for no reason, no "Abyssal Guider" at this point, which would actually affect the Scyla. I can't omit the bees, that part just blew me away because of how pointlessly convenient it is, and the exuse of a reason the author gives you. Don't get me started on the skills he gets and how poorly designed they are (Bravers have some stupid skills too, and they have overlap, something that should not be possible. And they have skills that are contradictory with the narrative, but you can blame that on Rodecorte. And yet, their skills mostly make sense). Vandar can become an insect master because there are no insect tamers ... Except a race of them, except there is actually an insect tamer that's not part of the bug race. And because there is a tamer, but not a master, he can get the master job, skiping the tamer. And there is no master after who knows how many generations of the bug race being tamers. And after all of that, his master job works completely differently from other tamer, or master, jobs (other tamers/masters can't do the equip thing). And let's not forget that an arbitrary UNINFESTED vampire gets affected by insect equip for god knows which reasons. Etc. Vandar's part of the story is very janky past the repopularion of Talosheim arc (when he leaves for the duchy). Up to that point it's fun and intresting. After that it's convenient plot twist on top of a convenient loophole, on top of a convenient coincidence. The Origin sections seem much more natural at that point.

Well they are undead so his death magic has that covered. The bees are reasoned that they are cemetery bees and stand in that way connected to death. It is mentioned a few times in the goul village arc that his death magic charms them because they are related to vampires who are undead who are affected by death magic.
With zakkart, well it was his corpse that impregnated vida. Don't know if that makes sense but that is the reason the author gave us.
With the bug tamers, it was reasoned that they are way to hard to tame in the first place. The tamer you mention was already almost devoured from them and it stands to question how long he could have gone on aswell that he had a secret method for taming them(giving his own flesh. No idea how many would be willing to do that). I forgot who the bug-tamer race was so I can not say anything to that but it could be very well a plothole/shrugs/
The skills.... well I'm completely honest with you I skip their descriptions most of the time 'cause I am only interested in what he does with them when he uses them.
The equipping of the vampire.... what was that again ^^' I forgot about that but again possible mistake and plothole. Maybe because they were undead? Was he able to equip other undead? But then again he should be able to equip the gouls too, so no clue.

Well, also I don't say that you have to agree with me that the origin parts weren't that great and I absolutely don't want to tell you that you can't like those parts over the main story. We all like different things different after all. I too have many stories that I thought were good only to drop them after a certain part because it went in directions I thought were stupid(Deathnote after L doesn't exist). I understand that you see certain parts as faults and interpret them differently but for me, most of what you describe was, as mentioned above and other comment, explained properly.
But thank you for getting me to think about that, I have forgotten quite a bit. Guess I go rereading it again^^
