My Thoughts on An S Rank Adventurer Me Along With Those Girls Who Are Saves, Form A Saves Only Harem Guild

This title certainly grabs your attention, doesn't it? "An S Rank Adventurer Me Along With Those Girls Who Are Saves, Form A Saves Only Harem Guild" promises a blend of action, adult themes, and fantasy, and it certainly delivers on some of those fronts. However, after diving in, I've found myself with mixed feelings.

First Impressions

Initially, I was intrigued by the premise. An S-rank adventurer forming a guild comprised solely of slaves? It has the potential for interesting character dynamics and world-building. However, a few chapters in, I started to notice some cracks in the foundation.

What Works Well

The novel's strength undeniably lies in its adult content. The scenes are, according to many readers, well-written and engaging. Beyond that, the author attempts to weave in backstories for the main characters, adding a layer of depth to their motivations and personalities. This effort is appreciated, as it elevates the story beyond simple erotica. Some also find the plot, while not groundbreaking, to be enjoyable and easy to follow, making it a decent way to pass the time. I did find the initial premise of a super-powered MC deciding to help those in need to be interesting.

Areas of Concern

However, the novel suffers from some significant flaws. The world-building, for instance, feels generic and underdeveloped. I struggled to get a sense of the setting beyond a typical European RPG-inspired landscape. More importantly, the protagonist's characterization is a major point of contention. He comes across as a "simp," easily swayed by the female characters and often acting against his own stated principles. His sudden shift from valuing human life to buying a slave at first sight feels jarring and unconvincing. He does everything his slaves say, and he seems to be made out to be a pushover with muscles. This undermines his credibility as an S-rank adventurer and makes it difficult to invest in his journey.

Many readers have also pointed out logical inconsistencies and plot holes within the story. Some events seem to occur simply for the sake of plot convenience, sacrificing believability. The motivations of certain characters, particularly the villains, can feel shallow and poorly explained.

Final Verdict

"An S Rank Adventurer Me Along With Those Girls Who Are Saves, Form A Saves Only Harem Guild" is a mixed bag. If you're primarily interested in the adult content and can overlook the weak plot, generic world-building, and questionable character motivations, you might find it enjoyable. However, if you're seeking a well-developed fantasy story with compelling characters and a logically consistent plot, you'll likely be disappointed. For me, the flaws ultimately outweigh the strengths, leaving me with a lukewarm impression.
