A Fairytale for the Demon Lord

Well this was awful. There's something there in the idea but it's one of those annoying works that spends most of its time lamp shading tropes and acting like it's above them while not really trying on any other front besides the art. You'll constantly see people talking like freshman college media essays in the story. Very awkward talks of "Ah your role is a knight and I am a demon king and this is how the story goes. It is our inescapable fate fate fate." Blah blah blah. It tries to do the throwing you into a world and you find out the things, butit never really establishes a normal. Fights just kinda happen as people do stuff. Fights are less things that reveal character or have effort put into them as much as flashy "this person got chopped or other person got chopped in reverse uno." The world itself is just robo norse world with very awkward fan service added in that doesn't fit the tone. I don't mind fan service but maybe don't shove in an awkward ass shot while someone's giving exposition. Maybe don't make ten author notes about how people should feel sorry for you and how you spend more time trying to creep on schoolgirls than writing the manhwa. Honestly the author notes took off a full point from how intrusively bleh they were. In the end it's at least trying something different from a lot of more common manhwa but that's not enough for me to score highly.
