My Thoughts on Demon King
"Demon King" promised a blend of action, adventure, and dark fantasy, and while it had moments that hooked me, it ultimately fell short of its potential. This novel presents a unique premise: humans on Earth connected to counterparts in another world, suddenly thrust into a monster-infested reality.
First Impressions
Initially, the premise grabbed me. The idea of a modern-day Earth merging with a fantasy world, and a protagonist becoming a goblin, felt fresh. I was eager to see how the story would unfold, especially with the "game elements" tag hinting at a potentially addictive progression system. However, very quickly, I noticed the translation quality was a problem. The first few dozen chapters were filled with confusing sentences and awkward phrasing, making it difficult to fully immerse myself in the story.
What Works Well
Despite the translation issues, the core concept of the novel kept me going for a while. I appreciated the accelerated growth and evolution of the main character, and the dungeon system added a layer of intrigue. The plot is complex with slow reveals, which kept me guessing. I also liked that it leaned into its dark fantasy elements, and was a little more serious than some other novels in this genre.
Areas of Concern
Unfortunately, the translation remained a persistent issue, hindering my enjoyment. The inconsistencies in skill names, stats, and even character dialogue made it hard to follow the plot at times. Beyond the translation, I felt the pacing was uneven, and the characters felt underdeveloped. The MC, in particular, lacked depth, and his motivations often felt unclear. The "harem" aspect also felt forced, with little genuine connection between the characters. I also felt that fights were often skipped over or vaguely described, making it difficult to get invested in the action.

Final Verdict
"Demon King" had the potential to be a standout dark fantasy novel, but it was ultimately held back by its inconsistent translation and underdeveloped characters. While the premise and progression system offered some enjoyment, the overall experience was disappointing. I would recommend approaching this novel with caution, and perhaps waiting for a more polished translation before diving in. Ultimately, I rate it a 3 out of 5.
