It's good, albeit fairly unrealistic. Starts off slowly, and the script may seem pretty bad, but it appears that the translator got changed sometime in the first two novels, since it greatly improves by volume three. There's cursing, violence, and it's got some nakedness in it, though not an absurd amount and it's mostly action and comedy.

The cast is pretty large, two main characters and a host of recurring supporting characters (one of whom is more popular than one of the two mains, as it were). First volume is not a really good example of the series, since it's more introductory. It really picks up in volume two and the first really big arc starts in volume five.

The cast is the real high point; one would be hard pressed to find a more diverse group.
