「Saihate no Paladin」is an amazingly good and refreshing read.

The premise is very promising - A priest of a goddess who is all but forgotten coming from a faraway land to save the world. So far the delivery has not disappointed and exceeds my expectations.

The storytelling is done extremely well and at a good pace. It's so interesting that I am willing to read each page slowly while eagerly awaiting the next one. The earlier chapters that go over William's early life with Mary, Blood, and Gus gave me the emotional chills and hooked me in to become emotionally invested. It is the perfect setup to make the reader care for William's adventure.

The characters are developed well and their actions and personalities beautifully illustrate the state of the story's universe. It makes you think about the concepts of right and wrong, and also explores grey areas that reveal that actions and appearances may not be what they first appear. This isn't easy to do without being boring, and one of this story's strong suits is exploring this grey area while keeping the story exciting.

「Saihate no Paladin」is so good that I want you to stop reading this review right now and go pick up a copy and read it!
