![]() The intended subtextual notes are nullified, and the show turns into your typical black-and-white action series full of conceited perilous plotting here and there that matter no more than further complications. The given opportunity to judge and absolve the down-to-earth problems of humanity is discarded conveniently. With this uninspiring and underwhelming twist, anything tactful the series had is no more. Except that it later turns out here that the presented main antagonists turn out to be.demons themselves, revived and disguised as the radical authoritarian human figures responsible for all the main conflict. It means that the deities would eventually need to take action at some point, because the many lives that would be saved in the process of punishing and killing actual criminals would still matter more, regardless of their previous reasoning. I’m usually an advocate of the concept of grey morality when it’s implemented the right way. The main reasoning for them to not help humans seemed compelling and mature at first: saving lives would also mean taking lives as well. The long-lived deities don’t intervene, they just lay around observing stuff, their boredom fueled by the lack of adversity since the clash against the demons. This is no by means anything new, but it would’ve sufficed, regardless. Centuries later, humans has since advanced in technology and civilization, but have turned into their own worst enemy as a result, constantly getting into conflict with each other for multiple sociopolitical or military reasons. In response, a higher race known as deities, also referred to as the Idaten, step in and seal the demons away, effectively saving humanity in the process and maintaining peace in the world. During the earlier days of human history, mysterious monsters known simply as demons attacked and came close to wiping out humanity. The basic premise of Idaten Deities sounds really neat at first. Idaten Deities, on the other hand, has a sense of embellishment that is foul and tactless in nearly every way thinkable. much as I heavily disliked the latter being essentially anime pornography, it was at least wasn’t something I found especially offensive or grotesque. It isn’t so surprising when it turns out to be written and created by the same author who did Interspecies Reviewers, which itself was quite the shameless example of anime pornography, for better or worse. Idaten Deities advertises itself as brainless “style over substance” entertainment, but it turns out be something far more inherently vulgar than what people wanted to acknowledge or admit. What you get is essentially this filth of a series, and from the likes of Studio MAPPA, no less. Its sad the author has given up on a novel that should of been and was great I am grateful to it for bringing me to Wuxia but for those who haven't already started on the story I cannot recommend it for obvious reasons and will reflect that.Imagine taking a great portrait like the Mona Lisa, and then furiously splashing it with buckets of different colored paint. But be warned as you already know the novel is all but completely abandoned now as progress so far from the perceived end has come to a mad snails pace. If you've come to read it wanting more from having read the manga then I fully recommend reading from the beginning as you will get a lot more from doing so. Updates come once a month with an almost unanimous opinion of declining quality once the author lost interest. If you're looking for a new novel to read then turn back you won't ever get an ending to this novel. Do I recommend it to others? The short answer is no. Its good enough that a large majority of people have come to Wuxia to read it myself included. TDG has a great world and the MC will thoroughly charge through all obstacles in his path to greatness its an interesting read and a great story for sure. Tales of Demons and Gods is very much a mixed bag. ![]()
