About this ebook

In the MMORPG Cross Reverie, Takuma Sakamoto is so powerful that he is lauded as the "Demon Lord" by other players. One day, he is summoned to a world outside his own-- but with the same appearance he had in the game! There, he meets two girls who both proclaim themselves to be his Summoner. They perform an Enslavement Ritual to turn him into their Summon... but that's when Takuma's passive ability activates! Instead, it is the girls who become enslaved! Though Takuma may be the strongest Sorcerer there is, he has no idea how to talk with other people. It is here he makes his choice: to act based on his persona from the game! "Amazing? But of course... I am Diablo, the being known and feared as the Demon Lord!" So begins a tale of adventure with an earth-shakingly powerful Demon Lord (or at least someone who acts like one) taking on another world!

Ratings and reviews

Enjoyable story and it's always fun to have an overpowered main character, but the sexual harassment and general perverted things the main character did were definitely off putting. Unfortunately, that often comes with the territory of Japanese media. If that's your thing, you'll love this book. If not, you might want to look into other books first.

honestly a funny book with lewd characters. I rather enjoyed it and look forward to reading the second volume. anyone who does not like Japanese body Humor needs to stay away. One thing I will Say is that this book transports you to a whole new world with new ideas and a beautiful back story that makes you want more. there are plenty of questions that are unanswered that make me want to dig in to the second book almost immediately. Yukiya Murasaki has a wonderful way of spinning a tale from the main character's point of view. i would honestly say this is one of my favorite reads this year

Coming from the anime, the book was (as usual) even better, had more meta jokes and more detail. I particularly enjoyed the somewhat darker setting and the better character development. This makes the story more believeable and so I could really immerse myself into it (I'm writing this at 2am after only wanting to read a few pages). In conclusion: I can't wait to read the next one and can only recommend it!
