   Every chapter has very subtle foreshadowing. Love stories play an important role, and there isn't a clear good side or bad side, so everything is actually complex.

   We can even sympathize easily with the villains, and most of them aren't really that villainous. The world is rich, there's character development, and the overpowered nature of our heroes isn't just for the plot. Yeah, it's really one of the best series I've ever read and watched. Long live Seven Deadly Sins!
