So, this is a pretty fun series — especially if you like stories that revolve around epic match-ups.
Essentially, this series is about matching exceptional humans against gods from the various world pantheons and seeing who comes out on tip. Winners take all. If the gods win, humanity will be destroyed. If humans win, humanity continues on.
This is a solid 3.5 series for me. The plot is fairly simplistic but I like how the plot is unraveling so far. We’ve got cunning Valkyries pulling strings to assist human warriors in the background which gives this story a welcome dash of intrigue. Additionally, the art is definitely sick. I like the character designs and the depth in each setting.
I’d be interested in reading more~

Note: This is my rating and review for the entire series.
3.5/5 stars
Humanity has been judged by the gods of all religions and mythologies to be destroyed this year. In order to prevent the destruction of humanity, one Valkyrie decides to invoke the clause of Ragnarok. In order to secure humanity's future, they must fight in a tournament against the gods. This is absolutely my favorite tournament in any story.
Every fight (1v1s) showcases differing views between the fighters. We learn of each fighters past, and see where they ended up. The gods aren't perfect, neither are the humans. These fights are genuinely beautiful in how they are crafted. The themes are there and impactful. Very exciting read.

Para Dewa awalnya hendak menghapuskan peradaban manusia, namun seorang Valkyrie bernama Brynhildr mengusulkan Ragnarok. Dimana 13 perwakilan Manusia akan melawan perwakilan Dewa dalam pertarungan satu lawan satu.
Dalam volume pertama ini dihadirkan pertarungan antara Thor, Dewa petir dari mitologi nordik. Dengan Lu Bu Fengxian, jendral ternama pada kisah tiga negara.
Setelah aku baca sampai selesai volume pertama ini, selain art yang bagus dan konsep cerita yang sedikit kontroversial. Aku belum mendapatkan kesan apapun dari jilid ini.
Aksinya bagus karena digambarkan dengan art yang cukup detail, tapi belum ada permainan emosi dari pertarungan antar karakternya jadi masih terkesan hambar buatku.
Menyelipkan konten sejarah dan mitologi di sini menurutku sungguh informatif, setidaknya membuat pembaca yang belum mengetahui sejarah dan edukasi mengenai mitologi tetap bisa menyimak kisah ini.
Walau ada bagian mitologi yang salah menurut ku, memang ni kisah fiksi yang sudah pastinya sang author legal mengubah beberapa fakta dan teori yang dikenal secara luas. Tapi ini bakal mengurangi nilai edukatif dari manga ini. Bila ada penggunaan kata yang salah.
