Read the full take
The Devil Butler has a simple, appealing idea: a powerful demon king is reborn as a weak servant, and he has to live with that humiliation. The reversal gives the series a fun, slightly cheeky tone, and the lead's attitude is a big part of the appeal. The wuxia action is energetic, with a sense of old-school power that suits the premise. The art is clean and the characters have a lot of personality. The downside is repetition. Power-ups and new threats can follow a familiar rhythm, and readers who have read many cultivation stories may find the pattern predictable. The series is still releasing, so you're signing up for a long run. Still, the central hook is strong. If you enjoy a demon-king protagonist with a sly sense of humour, this is worth a try.
