The Nephilim (BL) - Reviews

This webnovel is over 3000 chapters and should be less than half of the way done considering the main character still hasnt embarked on his grand voyage. Exlor's writing is filled with excessive dialog, detail and explanation. It's clear this saga is just meandering without a clear timeline and will inevitably take 10 years to write or eventually go on permanent hiatus due to a loss in popularity or author's eventual loss of interest. Getting invested would be a mistake.

The premise? Great. Main character can enter hunting dimension, hunt stuff, level up, great fun idea. The problems?Harem is forced. MC finds out he was adopted, and immediately mother tries to get them in a relationship, and sister is in love with him, whereas the dad doesn't want MC to "steal" his daughter. Every fake character introduced feels like their just a spare harem member if author decides he needs another. MC is constantly beaten up by the females, and abused both mentally and physically.The emotions of lots of characters is 2d, and the way they express it is also the same, for example after chapter 60, there is bare minimum 1 mouth spasm, and you can have as many as 30 in a chapter.The main character? He was reincarnated thousands of years into the future, but not much has changed technologically, and don't expect the fact that he was reincarnated to be brought up after chapter 10, it's as if it never happened. The main character constantly tries to joke about how handsome and low key he is, while announcing how powerful he is. Every time someone pays attention to him he remarks, they must have realised how handsome I am. He constantly acts like a fool, and even after so many life or death situations, he's not grown at all, after hundreds of chapters he's the exact same person he was at chapter 30, naïve and narcissistic while thinking he is humble, constantly lying about how strong he is to teammates, endangering their lives only to break out as more powerful and save the day to "save them face".The humour? Jokes are really repetitive, and semi funny situations are reused 3 to 5 times, first time has a decent chance of me laughing as it's unexpected, but when your predicting the next line the MC will say as he did it 20 chapters ago, it just isn't funny.The pros? Translation quality is decent, speed of updates is good, and ehhh..... MC is super strong for his level, like he skips like a crazy amount of levels? If that's a pro for you. Overall if you want to turn your brain off and binge, it's perfect, but if you want engagement it's a pass

The book is really good. What I liked particularly about it is that it flowed nicely. The pacing was just right, not fast or slow. It has a way of arousing a good amount of curiosity that keeps one reading.Nice one, Author-san.

This is a really good story with good build up so far. Really looking forward to more chapters.                                                  

A good read. Starts slow and the chapters are short. So you can read it on the go. It also has plenty of potential and hopefully, the author will update this regularly.

It's not bad, yet another harem novel with a twist, but the MC feels more like a 12-13 year old than a 25-year old man. Adjusting to new culture is one thing (ex. adverse to killing), but lacking common sense just to have cliche encounters tends to get annoying. However, if you like beta MC's this novel could be your cup of tea.

After Tsuki explained everything to me I sensed something coming for me from the back of the store, apparently I wasn't the only one sensing because Urahara and Yoruichi continuously looked between me and the back of the store until a simple katana flew toward me.

"Hey don't cry," I wiped her tears with my finger and gave her a kiss on her forehead." Why didn't you tell me that you're sick?" I gently held her hand, place it on my cheek and give it a kiss.

"MhM"

" He always does this ... " Mikoto spoke angrily.
