Overall, a good book. Hard to go into the good parts without spoiling anything, but I'll try. While character development outside the MC (Vestor, odd name) is a bit shallow, it's there, which is better than many harem books. The harem is building steadily which is giving our MC more time to make connections.

Vector has a fun class and seeing him use it is enjoyablethough i hope he gets far more creative. Add in divine mischief, some blessings and curses, and an odd group of comrades and we have this book.

Now for the negatives. Honestly, Vestor might be the best and worst thing about this book. I identify with being the unwanted child ALL too well. That said, just becoming a lazy side character in your own life doesn't help. The author wrote Vestor making a few choices that seemed short-sighted to me and more plot-progression driven rather than by his character's personality.

Creativity, as I mentioned above, was also something I was disappointed in. I felt Vestor was constantly not using his magic to its maximum potential. Whether that's the limits of the author or how they're building the character I couldn't say.

In summation, I know it seems like there is a lot of negative here but I firmly intend to get the second book. That said, I'm cautious as the events unfolding may make me regret that decision. I'll certainly wait for my next credit on Audible and not pay for it outright.

I acknowledge this is largely me venting.

I'm sick of lazy authors. Though, maybe not in the way you might think from how that sounds.

I wish I was the type of person who could just read something and not think too deeply about it. I'd love to just enjoy the content and not think. But I can't. I'm not that guy.

So, when I read all these stories that sound good but utterly crap on the world they're writing in or the characters they're cultivating I get irate. Yep, pissed. It's stupid, I know. And if you knew how few things on actually let get to me you'd be surprised, buti love reading and writing. Is it too much to ask for characters to make sense?

For instance, I recently started reading Re:Incarnate by BlueJayls. I admit I only got thirteen chapters in but I literally couldn't take anymore.

I like isekai and MHA, so blending them sounded great. And starting out, it was. Nothing original plot wise, pretty cookie cutter stuff, but i still enjoy the concept. That said, things only went down from there. Izuku, while starting out as a pretty cool character, has lived over thirty years been his two lives and yet still acts like his timid canon self at times. He's fought war, and somehow Bakugo can still intimidate him sometimes, while others he's cool and reserve, so it seems like the author just chooses whatever suits the moment better. We have Aizawa figure out an issue Izuku had with his magic which makes ZERO sense. Nezu figures out Izuku has magic because of the way his energy acts because no quirks at life that... And finally, while Izuku starts out cool, he's slowly becoming a poor wounded bird more and more every chapter because of random trauma from his past life. I mean, Bakugo's grenade gauntlets gave him trauma flashbacks from childhood training in the other world because a battle mage never sees explosives... For whatever reason, it seems Izuku never dealt with any of his trauma in his past life.

This is what I'm getting at. People keep writing characters that are wildly inconsistent and ignoring the universe they are writing in. I just want authors who think about they characters they've built and the story they have told thus far and be consistent. Not, "Oh hey, that sounds cool. Let's write that instead of being true to the character I'm building."

So, I'm looking for an old Izu/Mina fic. The most specific thing I remember is that Kirishima was jealous and Bakugo was just upset Izuku had a gf. Bakugo convinces Kirishima to kiss Mina at some point, and she hits him.
