The Master of Ragnarok and Blesser of Einherjar



The Master of Ragnarok and Blesser of Einherjar is a Japanese fantasy isekai harem light novel and manga series written by Seiichi Takayama which began serialization in 2013.

Plot
Fourteen-year old high schooler Yuto Suoh is sent to the world of Yggdrasil after an accident, and soon becomes the leader of the powerful Wolf Clan using his modern knowledge.

Why You'll Be Begging for Ragnarok to Happen

 * 1) First off, can you say overloaded title? It sounds like the author came up with two titles and didn't decide on one.
 * 2) Yuto is a very boring character, he literally has no personality traits besides being way too modest to the point where he doesn't take credit for his achievements (which every member of the harem literally mentions constantly), he's just about the most blatant Mary Sue in media. I say "his", but he really just takes stuff from the internet.
 * 3) You did not read that previous line wrong, he uses his cell phone, which he brought from the distant present and looks up battle tactics by famous leaders.
 * 4) On that note, the whole premise is just stupid because he goes there by taking a selfie with a cursed mirror.
 * 5) All the characters in the harem are about as cliche as they come in addition to each relentlessly lusting after Yuto, even their character designs are cliche with over exaggerated female proportions, and three of them are UNDERAGE and one is a slave that YUUTO BOUGHT. It also doesn't help that they're referred to as his "sisters" and "daughters", which might have some historical reasons (the only point where it's even a tiny bit accurate, spoiler alert), but makes it much more uncomfortable to think about considering they all want to have sex with him. It seriously makes Sword Art Online's harem seem less egregious by comparison.
 * 6) It doesn't even make sense why they tried to use Norse mythology in that world. First off, it takes place in the 2000s B.C., long before any such mythology would've existed, and it looks more like ancient Egypt than anything even resembling the Viking world, for anybody expecting as much.
 * 7) The technology is also way too advanced for it's own time period, with ancient Rome-like chariots and Katanas (the latter of which is literally just there to appeal to the Japanese fans).
 * 8) It tries to add quotes and references to famous tacticians to sound smarter, which ironically just makes it much more pandering as a result.
 * 9) Constant ecchi scenes that are super contrived and uncomfortable to see at all. They play no part whatsoever in the story and only serve to pad it out, especially considering that NOTHING EVER HAPPENS IN ANY OF THEM since Yuto is devoted to being "faithful" to his one true "love" in the real world, Mitsuki (who's even more boring than the rest of the harem), and these ecchi scenes happen without his consent while there are literal children around. It is, as Mother's Basement says, "a bit of a mood killer".
 * 10) The artwork, while not completely terrible, is certainly a bit lackluster especially for it's time.
 * 11) Awful fight and battle scenes that have no creative choreography whatsoever and are pretty much just people flailing their bodies erratically until something happens, and they're all over way too quickly.
 * 12) Even the name of the world has been used constantly in and out of anime. Or, as Mother's Basement would say, once again, "Cause if you're gonna give up, you may as well give up all the way".
 * 13) There is literally a timeskip right after Yuto goes to the "new world", taking place two years later when he's become the leader of the Wolf Clan. Yes, it literally skips over anything even remotely interesting that could happen in favor of showing the harem.
 * 14) All in all, the series contains just about every single anime cliche in the book and no subtlety about any of it.
 * 15) The anime adaption has been considered one of the worst of all time for many of the above reasons along with it's terrible animation, direction, and sound design.￼

The Only Redeeming Quality

 * 1) The artwork is somewhat decent.
