The Indomitable Human Spirit

Hey everyone, Wakamezake here! Attention! Disclaimer! 1) This story steers clear of unnecessary grimdark themes. If you’re into reading about extreme suffering and misery, this isn't for you. Seriously, don’t bother starting it. 2) System elements are minimal and only used to explain the MC’s power and his “Hero's journey” rewards. 3) This is a DxD fanfic, not some serious multiverse thing. Expect just a few characters from other worlds to fill in the plot gaps. 4) Heads up — there’s going to be a lot of scientific terminology, since the MC’s main power is the “human magic” of the DxD, which works based on science. 5) The rewards from achievements let me get creative with the MC’s “Build”. If you’ve got any ideas, feel free to suggest them — either here or in the comments under the chapter. Enjoy!

It's not for me. The story isn't bad, and I don't have any problems with the grammar or anything, but the massive info dumps in every chapter for the last eleven chapters were killing me. I know you said it would be scientific because he uses human magic, but he hasn't even started learning it, and the wall of text is tiring. As I said, it's not for me, but I wish you luck with the story.

Where are the other reviews coming from? I’ve read a lot of DxD fanfics, and I know that 3 or 3.5 stars are given to something on the level of (DxD Fated), but this fanfic is clearly a step above that… Honestly, I don’t get what the issue is...

Great fanfic. Some people say the author is repetitive or drags things out, but I think he has done an excellent job with the character development, the MC's abilities, and the structure of the DxD world. I really like how the story is progressing, and I hope the author keeps up this level of quality!

Reveal Spoiler

Why does everyone dislike the MC’s mother so much? Unlike other fanfics, the author here has actually made an effort to give even the supporting characters some emotional depth. Sure, the MC’s mom is annoying, headstrong, and doesn’t help him (oh no, how terrible!), but at least she’s well-developed as a character. That’s a lot better than what you usually see in fanfics, where the MC's family is just background noise and you don’t really care about them. But in this fanfic, even the MC’s mother stirs up emotions, even if it’s just irritation. And it’s only the first 14 chapters... yet people are already throwing around these ratings. All in all I really appreciate how this fanfic manages to make me feel such a wide range of emotions. That’s rare, and honestly, really awesome! Highly recommend.

its an interesting concept and seems promising though the writing style and world background are ugh... not bad perse its just very long and tedious we have gotten a single power explained 8 times in the first 20ish chapters an entire chapter dedicated to the fact mc needs 25%less sleep the mc constantly goes of on monologues that give info dumps sometimes multiple times per chapter 80% of the first 20 chapters is info long story short its interesting but feels like mandatory reading material the author needs to work on his pacing and consider what needs to be explained and what doesn't

Can you save Issei from the pervert old man in the park and his own grandfather, who corrupted him? Issei used to be an innocent kid, until those two corrupted him. Seriously, the corruption scene is so cringe-worthy, especially in Issei's grandfather's case. While I don't hate perverts and sometimes find them funny, corrupting your own grandson like that is just horrible.

I didn’t think this would be so good, I was use to shity dxd fanfic the people writing with their third leg so this was fresh air and I hope you don’t make him overpowered in beginning

I'm giving 5 stars to the world background because the world of dxd is simply very vast and well constructed in my opinion and I like how the author explores human magic, the rest is ok. However, there is something that I just can't stand, which is the interaction between the characters. It is simply unnatural and has a strange rhythm.

The first few chapters offer a nice, calm slice-of-life and character development. So far, I'm really enjoying it. I hope the author will keep up the same level of quality.

The title is a missed opportunity not gonna lie, but early impressions have been good.

Probably the most comprehensive and well put together dxd story on here it honestly just needs more chapters to truly shine on. Long chapters with extensive information on how everything works without it feeling like an info dump. Really good story so far
