>>48881851Bastard is extremely pretty, but you have to turn your brain WAAAAAY the fuck off to enjoy it.
No, there's no such thing as "balance" in Bastard. D.S. has "invincibility" as an actual trait and the great majority of battles are resolved via "AND NOW I'LL PULL A SPELL OUT OF MY ASS THAT I DIDN'T USE OR MENTION BEFORE BECAUSE LET ME GET BACK TO YOU ON THAT". And then the angels and demons get involved and shit really starts getting MY POWER IS MAXIMUM.
Look, just fap to the pretty pictures. And try not to marathon it, D.S.'s routine of "act like an asshat->grope boobs->blow shit up" can be fun to watch but gets old and monotonous quick if you read the arcs one after the other.
