Guy has to atone for his sins, but through a dungeon and taking care of his summoned monsters?!

The ending was alright. But there was a part of the ending I did not like.

Ehem..

I think he married the frog woman and mated with her, which is very weird for me. So I can't accept it.

I did like seeing his summoned monsters all grown up though.

Some people say it was cut short, and I can't disagree with that, but i still think it was really worth every minute I spent reading which I can't say for most other stuff I read. It might have been the fact that I haven't read anything with an actual ending for so long that I have such bias though

Loved it but way, WAY too rushed

This had the potential to be more than it is. It's unusual and quite interesting, the comedy is also decent enough to make me laugh every now and then which is rare nowadays.

However, it's cut short, it ended so fast that you feel like you just haven't had enough, there's so much more you wanted to see but the ending is really way too lackluster. Giving this 7/10 is simply because I'm not counting in the ending chapters much even if they are slightly affecting my scoring by reducing the score by 1 point or so. The overall rushed nature of the ENTIRE manga was another reason to reduce yet another point or two.

We get a nice start with adorable summons and a devil-like mc. It feels quite fresh and good to read. The team, towards the end, is made up of a tadpole mutant kind of being, a female frog nanny, a harpy, a goblin and a female arachne.

Already at the start did I feel that things were moving too fast, so it wasn't really an issue just towards to the end even if it got way worse then. The complete "team" is introduced very quickly and they're advancing even more quickly. It's to the point where we hardly know what's going on, we get no explanations on anything, be it abilities or whatever. It's just about the short adventure. Everything comes out of nowhere and nothing takes up any real time. The ENTIRE manga is just about 2 volumes in length, a bit over 400 pages.

So, it leaves much to be wanted in explanations and proper purpose. I wanted to know so much more about these characters, it would've been great to follow their growth all the way through, but it's way too rushed for that. The whole story is literally about how the mc punches his way through four levels of a dungeon until the end and pretty much instantly deals with any enemy in a page or two for each while the kids has to be taken care of but also gets used in the battles, or at least tries to make themselves useful. Then, all of a sudden, we're at some kind of a final floor and BOOM he goes down an elevator and destroys the last boss easily before time-skipping into the future where we get to see what happened to the now grown-up kids, what happened to the mc(although that left much to be desired as we can only guess everything but his role in the dungeon) and how the mc's child is born(gotta say he doesn't care about exterior appearances) and everything ends happily or whatever.

So much left unsaid, everything just ended. It honestly left a bad taste in my mouth. While I did enjoy it, it kind of feels like someone put a bowl of candy in front of you but as you finished eating a tenth of it, that someone just took it away. What happened to the rest of the candy? No one knows. You just know that you're disappointed and sad that you didn't get to eat the other nine tenths.

Fantastic but cut short.  
by MondSemmel

Rating: 8.5  / 10.0

This is a fantastic comedy take on isekai-style dungeon stories. And for once, the protagonist's "cheat skill" is essentially useless; all his accomplishments derive from abilities he already had as a human.

Sadly, the story was obviously cut short, and the last ~5 chapters are quite obviously rushed. That makes the story a bit harder to recommend, but on the upside, it's a quick read.

Good!

Rating: 8.0  / 10.0

Review is based on 15 chapters

Despite being an isekai, which is a damned genre, it's really good. The humor is great, the mc can be hilariously evil and the kids he summons are ubercute. And they make ubercute adorable reaction faces all the time. Did i mention how cute these kids are? Because they are cute! It also has action, lots of it.
Definitely recommended.
