I stumbled upon the description and expected nothing but a slapstick comedy. What I got was a deeply intriguing story intermixing lightheartedness with an extremely well written cast. The first few chapters are full of silliness, but the story controls its exposition and world building extremely well. Moreover, one area that Helck succeeds in where many others fail is in writing believable characters. There are no obvious plot holes, and characters who are supposed to be clever use intel and venture guesses with what little information they have in a way that flows smoothly with the action. Some guesses are a bit outlandish, but overall nothing breaks immersion. The mystery surrounding Helck is revealed in a timely manner, and matches up perfectly with previous clues and hints that the author drops. Finally, the story does very well in packing an emotional punch where it counts, and even finds ways to explain why characters are being silly. Helck feels a lot like a fantasy world One punch man at the beginning, but becomes an excellent example of fantasy world done right.
