This is a story that flips the script when it comes to the usual trope of the main character being summoned, and then their supposed weak powers make them scorned and unwanted by the big bad deity; the Goddess brought our unfortunate MC to her world to sculpt him into a villainous stepping stone for the heroes on purpose. The fun in this parody narrative is that outside forces gently nudge the MC in the right direction, disrupting the Goddess's plans and giving the readers a sense of catharsis through karmic justice.

Now I'll be the first person to admit the writing is a bit raw, and not in the grammatical sense. There sometimes comes long blocks of dialogue flanked to the brim with dialogue tags, and you can add up the filter words to even make a game out of it. Yet despite these flaws, there's a passion for the craft and a quaint, dry wit that let me forgive these mistakes.

The MC himself has a way of being emotionally dishonest that borders more on the cute side than the grating one. He is the definition of judging somebody by their actions rather than the snark that might fly out of their mouth. The narrative even helps enforce this picture by showing the family dynamics, and how his cold exterior is a mask meant to protect those under his service. 

The worldbuilding is relatively simple for what it is, but it gets the job done. Most people won't be strangers to the magical, modern world concept at this point, but I do wish some parts of this reality were more clearly elaborated on. A minor, subjective thing, but something I kept thinking about.

If you want to see a parody take on the big bad deity summoning the unfortunate hero, and can forgive some rawness regarding story structure, give this one a spin.

Honestly I like the story and the characters, especially the MC doing his best in an odd situation dealing with stuff he really has no idea about. The goddess, to be blunt, is haunghty and annoying, and I do hope she gets whats coming to her. I would've rated this story higher if it weren't for the fairly large amount of grammatical and syntax errors throughout the chapters, clearly showing there is little to no proofreading/editing, which honestly I can forgive if english isn't the author's mother tongue. Though, with that being said, I am waiting for more chapters as I'm blazing my way through the story and can't wait to read more

I must say, I enjoy this one. I can't really put my finger on what exactly makes me like this novel this much, but it reminds me of the "Villain wants to live". It isn't just a plain copy though, no, it gives the genre a new interesting spin.

I am impatiently awaiting new chapters.

Eh. It's okay. It is written pretty well technically and the premise is solid, but the characterization is a bit odd. The characters most often followed by the story act and sound like they are far older than they are. For the MC, this makes sense to a degree, but not so for the other characters that share this trait. 

The MC is a bit of a doormat for the story; in so far as things happen around him and to him, but never because of him. He doesn't drive the story forward at all and just reacts or gets used for small comedic purposes. The story also feels like the author is a bit unsure as to the direction they want to take the MC in, making the MC's presence/importance in the story feel a bit weak.

The story itself feels a bit meandering as well so far. It's mostly set-piece to set-piece, event to event with not much connecting them and without a hook or interesting through-line. The goddess is mentioned a couple times, but she seems simultaneously inattentive and totally incompetent, making her presence in the story hardly felt.  

Overall, its a good foundation, but it's rough edges make it hard to stay engaged with the story.
