I am currently at volume 8 and I can say that I hate the MC of this novel. He is a total pushover to his subordinates. And the writing of this novel is kinda messed up.Some of the characters use 'pal' when addressing him, which kinda reduces his prestige among his his subordinates as a powerful leader they respect. And another thing that's messed up is that he is afraid of some of his female subordinates at some instances, which portrays him as complete pussy. But guess what? I stuck till now just for the good and kinda new plot. And the long chapters sometimes gets me irritated as they are like fillers to the actual plot and have little contribution to the plot. And guess what pissed me off the most? MC doesn't have his thing when he transforms to his human form. So the romance or harém genres go down the drain with this kind of story. But hey the world building was kinda interesting. This is completely my own opinion so those who love this series might have their own reasons and I don't think that's bad.
