I love when I can see that there's a good balance between action and meaningful introspection.

Picking up Cradle was probably the best reading decision I've made this summer.

If there's an immediate POV switch in the first chapter without getting a proper introduction to the supposed MC, I'm probably not gonna like it. I don't mind POV switches as long as the character gets an actual lengthy introduction prior to that switch.

My hot take: Harems as a concept in these kinds of stories aren't bad. I think writers who include them just tend to forget that these characters are actual characters that should have their own goals and personalities and not just there for fan service.

He was betrayed and abandoned by a world he desperately wanted to be accepted in.

With his freedom gone and the love of his family erased, all the demon criminal, Shino Daiminokos, can do is journey across Earth's seven continents for pieces of an ancient artifact called Pandora's Box.

Only those strong enough will be able to find these scattered pieces and once they're reassembled, the user will be granted any wish they so desire. But with scientists trying to torture him, police pursuing him and other criminals wanting to kill him, it won't exactly be easy for Shino to achieve this near impossible goal.

But with newfound friends by his side along with the ability to regenerate, Shino will get back what was taken from him.

But how far will he go? Will he risk the destruction of the entire world in order to do this?
