I'm not kidding. Chapter 1 and the world and MC (main character) are extremely inconsistent.
Orcs are literally invading and slaughtering people, and instead of soldiers with high powered weapons mowing them down, the government does nothing and there's no sign of fear in the people.
Also, this MC is awful. I was cheering for the orcs to kill him. His "tragic" backstory is really half-baked and nonsensical, he'd rather run and risk destroying his transportation over killing orcs he knows he can beat, he left his family (who he supposedly doesn't hate, but doesn't understand the value of like a psychopath) in the middle of a fight against orcs.
This first chapter is a masterclass in how NOT to make your first chapter in a graphic novel, because...
(Keep in mind, Orcs are invading modern day Tokyo.)
-
Literally equates beauty to goodness. She can't be evil if she's hot, even if she comes from where the orcs who mindlessly slaughter people come from.
-
I'm certain the author wanted to keep the MC's power hidden until the end for a dramatic reveal. Except that doesn't work when the MC has been running away until then. Won't even fight to save his life when running is riskier. He even acts like it was a close call at the start, as if he nearly kicked the bucket. But then...
-
The MC asks himself if he should report his first orc incident to the police because someone was murdered, but then says no one would believe him. But then a few pages later shows that the world already knows about orcs invading, which makes him an actual idiot in the low IQ sense of the term.
-
Then he sees an elf girl with a sword, and his first piece of advice is about how a sword is illegal? And he's worried about government regulations? During an otherworldly invasion where swords are actually really useful?
Worse yet, the author somehow thought this was a good thing and doubled down, suggesting the elf girl trade her sword in for his spare knife.
Are you table-flipping serious? Downgrade your ally and potentially get her killed by insisting she uses a weapon with less combat advantage when she almost got killed with the better option?
Either the translation is whack or this series is. My advice: if you can't trust the story to correctly use basic logic in the first chapter, it's not going to get any better.
Avoid at all costs unless you treat this like an art book.
