My Thoughts on Being Recognized as an Evil God, I Changed My Job to Guardian Deity of the Beastmen Country
This title is quite the mouthful, isn't it? "Being Recognized as an Evil God, I Changed My Job to Guardian Deity of the Beastmen Country" – it promises a unique premise, and while the execution has its stumbles, there's a certain charm that kept me reading.
First Impressions
Initially, I was drawn in by the concept of a misunderstood deity finding a new purpose. The idea of an "evil god" turning guardian deity is interesting, and the beastmen setting adds a layer of novelty. However, I quickly noticed that the world-building, while present, sometimes feels a little rushed.
What Works Well
The slice-of-life elements are definitely a strong point. I enjoyed watching the nation-building aspects unfold and seeing how the protagonist's influence shaped the beastmen's society. The interactions between different gods and religions also provide interesting dynamics, adding depth to the world's lore. The story does a decent job of showing the importance of religion to a community. The focus on trade and peaceful relations with neighboring countries is a refreshing change from the constant warfare often found in similar stories.
Areas of Concern
While the premise is intriguing, the execution sometimes falls short. The characters, at times, felt somewhat underdeveloped, making it difficult to fully invest in their relationships. Some readers might find the yuri elements feel a bit forced. The pacing could also be improved; I felt like some plot points were glossed over too quickly, leaving me wanting more detail. Also, the protagonist's reliance on her believer's faith, despite her past experiences, feels like a missed opportunity for deeper character development.

Final Verdict
"Being Recognized as an Evil God, I Changed My Job to Guardian Deity of the Beastmen Country" has a lot of potential, but it's not without its flaws. If you're looking for a lighthearted story with nation-building elements and a touch of yuri, you might find it enjoyable. However, be prepared for some underdeveloped characters and rushed plot points. Overall, I'd say it's a decent read, but it could definitely benefit from further refinement.
