Description

This is a tale of blood and tears about collecting pets. In his entire life, the greatest ambition of the free-spirited little devil, Shooting Star, is to collect all sorts of beautiful pets. Elves and angels are definitely on the list. Can legendary mermaids be included too? If so, how about a dragon as well? However, one should not bite off more than one can chew. When defeating monsters, one should not start with the Demon King first, so of course, one should not start collecting pets with a dragon. It would be better to start the collection with this amber-eyed swordsman! Shooting Star: I’m just an honorable, veteran member of the Appearances Association. Is wishing to collect beautiful pets against the law? Since when did I end up riding the luxurious, one-way train to doomsday? Can I still disembark right now? Oh My GOD~ Even if GOD says that doomsday is approaching, pets still need to be collected!

My Thoughts on GOD

"GOD" is a wild ride, a blend of genres that promises adventure, comedy, and martial arts, with a healthy dose of fantasy thrown in. I went into this novel expecting a fun, lighthearted adventure, and while it delivered on that front for a good portion, it also threw some serious curveballs my way.

First Impressions

Initially, I was charmed by the protagonist. He's a bit of a troll, as one reader pointed out, enjoying collecting "pets" in the form of people and running away from problems. This childish protagonist, coupled with the promise of cute children and a lighthearted tone, had me hooked. The early chapters were filled with humor and the setup for what seemed like a classic adventure story.

What Works Well

The character dynamics are a definite strength. I particularly enjoyed the hints of "overprotective dad moments" from a side character, which added a layer of warmth to the story. The accelerated growth aspect of the protagonist also kept things interesting, as I was always curious to see how he would develop and overcome challenges. The world-building is solid, and the initial blend of comedy and adventure is well-executed.

Final Verdict

"GOD" is a mixed bag. The first ten novels (of the original edition) are a delightful blend of adventure and humor with charming characters and engaging world-building. However, the ending is a significant letdown, leaving many plot threads unresolved and character arcs incomplete. While the journey is enjoyable for the most part, be prepared for a potentially heartbreaking and confusing conclusion. I'm hoping that the ongoing translation might address some of these issues and provide a more satisfying resolution. As it stands, I'm left with a bittersweet feeling, remembering the good times while still feeling a sting of disappointment.
