I concur with everything you said. some novel pet peeves that this novel treats well include; undeserved power, unthematic powers ex(ice dragon with a whole bunch of ice powers and ice dragon in the title decides to stop evolving in an ice direction I CAME TO SEE ICE), and lastly character personalities that don't make sense ex(i hate the "I'm evil because I was born this way" characters they lack so much dimension.)
This is Definitely one of the more interesting isekais I have read so far. The most important part of these kinds of stories is how they get their power and how they died. If one of these two things is interesting it really brings people in and this story really hit the first part well. The character is presented as being a person interested in the horror genre before being trapped with horror killers for an extremly long amount of time which makes the characters personality plausible; compared to some other similar characters. Lastly the power/system is very interesting, new and most importantly THEMATIC. It gets annoying to see every single charecter get ALL the powers ALL the time. The power he has is limited to being thematic yet having a large amount of variety within this theme. In conclusion this is a fantastic Iseki that would be 5/5 if only there were more chapters/more frequent updates.
honestly, in defense of Belle, Ben was VERY rude when she showed up in what was basically Belle's house.
I am dying to see when the duke and wifey meet again. Is there a reason you haven't been writing.
