Those Days of Hunting Demons and Devils Novel Review

My Thoughts on Those Days of Hunting Demons and Devils

First Impressions

Alright, let's dive into "Those Days of Hunting Demons and Devils." My first impression, after seeing what others had to say, is...complicated. The synopsis promises adventure, comedy, and a whole lot of supernatural shenanigans. The tags also throw a lot at you – brotherhood, cultivation, and a doting love interest, to name a few. It sounds like it has the potential to be a really fun xianxia romp, but also like it might be a bit much.

What Works Well

The concept of a kind-hearted demon hunter is genuinely appealing. It seems the protagonist, Ji Yan He, is a genuinely good person, almost to a fault. That sort of unwavering kindness in a world of demons and devils is a refreshing change of pace. The story also seems to have a unique premise, with demons running amok and our MC setting out to set things right. The promise of a "clingy lover" dynamic is also intriguing and could add a lot of comedic and romantic tension.

Areas of Concern

Okay, here's where things get a little dicey. Several elements give me pause. It seems like our protagonist's kindness might border on naivete, which could be frustrating for some readers. Also, the presence of dub-con and non-con elements is a major red flag for me and, I suspect, many others. That kind of content can be incredibly triggering and detracts from the overall enjoyment of the story. I'm also a little concerned about the potential for the plot to become overly convoluted, given the sheer number of genres and tags involved.

Final Verdict

"Those Days of Hunting Demons and Devils" presents a mixed bag. The core concept of a kind demon hunter and the promise of adventure are definitely appealing. However, the inclusion of potentially triggering content like dub-con and non-con is a serious concern. Whether or not this novel is for you will depend heavily on your tolerance for these elements and your ability to look past them to appreciate the other aspects of the story. I think it's a story with a lot of potential, but one that needs to be approached with caution and awareness.
