## My Thoughts on Becoming a Cleric in a World Where Beauty and C*astity Values Are Reversed, holding a ‘Ritual’ with my Harem Party to Lift the ‘Curse of L*st’ Alright, let's dive into this one. "Becoming a Cleric..." definitely has a title that grabs your attention, and the premise is certainly... unique. I went in expecting a wild ride, and, well, it delivered on some fronts, but also stumbled in others. ### First Impressions My initial reaction was a mix of intrigue and slight bewilderment. The reversed values concept is interesting, and the "curse of l*st" angle had potential. However, I quickly realized that the story leans heavily into the adult content, almost to the detriment of the plot. ### What Works Well The story is definitely fast-paced, and if you're looking for something that doesn't waste time getting to the, ahem, *action*, this might be up your alley. The illustrations are a nice touch, adding visual flair to the experience. The premise is interesting, and it does provide a unique setting. ### Areas of Concern Unfortunately, the story felt rather thin. The plot seems to exist primarily as a vehicle for the adult scenes, which ultimately left me wanting more substance. The characters, particularly the female ones, sometimes felt one-dimensional, with their "self-depreciation" becoming repetitive. There's also a world-building element that feels incomplete, especially regarding the societal implications of the reversed values. For instance, the lack of exploration of lesbian relationships in this world felt like a missed opportunity. ### ⚠️ Spoiler Warning Okay, here's where we tread into spoiler territory. Apparently, the story includes some... unconventional scenarios, including an or*y involving multiple generations of elves. This might be a turn-on for some, but for others, it could be a major turn-off. Additionally, the protagonist's perceived "shota" vibe, and his leaning into it, was a point of contention for some readers. ### Final Verdict Overall, "Becoming a Cleric..." is a mixed bag. If you're primarily interested in the adult content and don't mind a shallow plot, you might find it enjoyable. However, if you're looking for a well-developed story with complex characters and meaningful world-building, you might be disappointed. It's a quick, easy read, but it ultimately lacks the depth to truly captivate. For me, it lands somewhere in the middle – entertaining in moments, but ultimately forgettable.
