I will try to be fair. I didn't want to just give this one star because it doesn't deserve such a low rating. That said, here it goes. I only reached ch40. The major hook for me was the author's alchemy ideas and the fact he made boosted gear work on boosting the potions. That's an amazing idea. The problem is that the author is hell-bent on keeping the MC weak. The MC had a pill capable of enhancing his body, yet, he never used it to grow stronger. Why? Because the author wanted to have a reason to make MC into a devil. Which is dumb. The major hook for me was that the MC seemed to not want to become a devil. After all, he had a cheat that SHOULD make him into the most valuable/dangerous guy around. But then ch40 came and the author decided to just piss on 39 chaters of proclaiming that the MC can go and make his own path. Very dumb idea. Another problem with the MC is that he is a genuinely retarded person. He expects people to respect him but he doesn't give them any reason for it. He can make fertility potions which would make many powerful factions salivate. But he never really showed his ability to do so to anyone. As far as everybody knows, the MC is just a promising alchemist who can make potions that can cure minor cuts. Yet, for some reason, the MC expects people to kowtow to him for that. It's mind-bogglingly stupid what this author is doing. If the MC just showed his ability to make fertility potions to every faction at once, and make them available to them, he would become untouchable because any faction willing to harm him would instantly come under attack from his other customers. He would have become the most valuable piece on the board. Most fics with fertility potions have the MC already a part of a faction when he reveals them. But this MC was natural. He had a way to flip the board. Have leaders send whatever woman, resource, bodyguard, and knowledge he wants to him for his fertility potions. It wouldn't even matter how weak he is. The second they discover they can't replicate his potions, he would become too important to harm. As for forceful recruitment? The same thing as killing him. His every other customer would literally declare war against anybody who tried it. It wouldn't be worth it for any faction to be forceful with MC as long as the potions are freely available for purchase. You can bet your a*s that Sirzechs would have been very polite to MC if he knew this tidbit. But instead, we have a psychotic, retarded, teenage manchild who thinks he is the next big G and expects everybody to respect him when he gave them no reason to do so. Hell, I'd even say that he got tricked into joining devils, limiting his potential influence with other races, because unless he has a way to mind control or enslave Grayfia, then her being his servant does not matter. She would just smack him the second he wants to do anything perverted to her the same way she smacks Sirzechs when he slacks off. The fact that Sirzechs did not evaporate the MC the second he asked for Grayfia to serve him is a pure wish fulfillment of this MC. The MC is definitely NOT the only option somebody like Sirzechs would have. And his loved ones are Sirzechs' reverse scale. It is another retarded decision this author made because he was thinking with his lower head and wanted to introduce something trashy like NTR because he is a trash human being. In doing so, he basically nerfed Sirzechs and Grayfia's INT stat to single digits to make his MC whose INT stat is at a permanent 10 value seem impressive in comparison. It is a kinda pathetic approach to writing, tbh. It made me disappointed in the story. I usually do not write reviews. Even when a story makes me truly angry. This one I write because I am just... disappointed. This MC and his position as a neutral human alchemist with fertility potions had so much potential that when the author completely pissed on it by not allowing his MC to use his cheat to become stronger or make himself literally the MVP for the majority of supernatural races, that it just made me disappointed. Because what did this author do instead? He made his MC into another devil slave. Is it temporary? I dunno. And I don't care. My expectations for this MC and author just evaporated. ... That said, it is not a bad read overall. The ideas are interesting at least. The MC's personality is also interesting, at least when he is not acting like a total psycho with nerfed intelligence. Anyway, this is my opinion. The author will have his reader base. But with what he did in ch40, I guarantee you he had lost at least 30% of it right there. The MC could have just given Rias some elixir to strengthen her or a potion to defeat Riser (maybe the agony one). Or something. However, the author showed his lack of creativity. Because naturally the alchemist is not allowed to give his friend his products to easily get out of her problems and gain her undying affections. Oh no, there must be some retarded childish psycho drama that shows the MC and leaders of major factions have less IQ than elementary schoolers otherwise it would not be 'entertaining', right?.

Yeah, relationships should never be something 'forced' by a 'system'. It just cheapens the whole premise so much. It never improves the story. Dunno why it is so hard for people to understand this exceedingly simple fundamental thing. I think we are just built differently. More superior, lol.
