The characters are profoundly uninteresting; the protagonist and his wish fulfillment magical creature being the most obvious offenders. I would not be able to name one character trait the protagonist is supposed to have to save my life. We are supposed to believe that his harem, the village women and the magical girl, see him as this wonderful man, but it is absolutely impossible to see any endearing traits about him even when in his harem’s POV.
The writing style is good and I enjoyed reading the book until about 70% in. At that point things went as such a fast speed that I got the feeling I was missing parts of the book. Characters and situations appearing out of nowhere and which make little sense. It is a bit of a shame since up that point I had enjoyed the book despite the somewhat standard storyline. The book does not end in a cliffhanger although I would be a bit more worried about the situation than the protagonist appears to be.
