Instant Death

Description

Links are NOT allowed. Format your description nicely so people can easily read them. Please use proper spacing and paragraphs.

Growth cheats? Infinite magic power? The ability to utilize all archetypes? What’s the point if instant death ends everything with a single attack?

High school senior Yogiri Takatou was on a school field trip when he woke up to a dragon assaulting his sightseeing bus, with the only ones still on the bus being him and his female classmate, the panicking Tomochika Dannoura. Apparently the rest of his classmates had been given special powers by Sion, a woman who introduced herself as Sage, and escaped from the dragon, leaving those that hadn’t received any special powers behind as dragon bait.

And so Yogiri was thrown into a parallel universe full of danger, with no idea of what just happened. Likewise, Sion had no way of knowing just what kind of being she had summoned to her world.

Good novel even though the MC is OP, There's some restrictions to his powers coupled with the adventurous story it's a solid 4/5 for me.

The MC is likeable and the heroine is a tsukkomi character. Give it a read before deciding anything :)

It's enjoyable initially as long as you separate logic from other asian-type novels. Japanese novels tend to throw in paradoxes that sounds forced to the point you just wonder why.

A skill that lets him kill anyone instantly, targeting anyone.

[collapse]

Lots of mix n match powers that really makes it all the more annoying to digest. Literally one must settle that the MC is OP, whatever he thinks and does will be OP and hence no point trying to smash brain cells telling him it doesn't make any sense at all.

Well that's the gist of it when I read it over two years ago. Honestly not worth reading, just look at the manga instead and wait on that. At least you get some pretty illustrations to dilute the nonsense. <<less

in conclusion this is a parody works for all the isekai genre.

it kind of shows what everything truly should be if isekai is ever to happen.

humans aren't saint. We aren't the best when it comes to rescue a world. Or we shouldnt be going for global warming as of now.

... more>> when a isekai gets cheat what does he becomes, if you get power u forget the responsibility u had as a weak human. When you are in a unfamiliar setting with nothing to responsible for you let loose.

some people are giving it a 5 while some are giving it 1 or 0 star.

this isn't a best work there is. It's not that bad either. It's more similar to the great work "INVISIBLE DRAGON".

the MC is a walking death God. When u have power you are supposed to be using it like it's used to be. And thats also how a strong protagonist supposed to be. If you're overpowered you're overpowered. Why do you need to downplay it.

the side characters power settings are a parody in it self. Having a glorious family, having a organization, scientific experiment to justify power up is so cliche and unnecessary. Almost every JP, CN, KR novel are getting it wrong all the time.

in short this is a parody, there's lot of things wrong with this works, dont go look for them, they were meant to be there. <<less

This story feels like sort of a rip of from one-punch man though I guess anyone can write similar stories.

The MC is pretty much explained as being an invincible existence because of his power to cause instant death. On his side is the trusty big oppai heroine side kick. Who's only reason of existence is to pretty much be tsundere and complain/retort at the MC's actions as one of them comedy sidekicks for superheroes back in the days.

For every chapter I've read so far, the story is pretty much about... more>> a few chapters of building up the suspense of an enemy or a group of enemies being super strong/OP only to appear before the MC or try and attack him and he simply states "Die" and well they die.

His power is to say pretty outrageous since it has pretty much been explained that "anything" that the MC defines as "living" is under the influence of his power. So humans, plants, undead, gods etc etc nothing can escape it. On top of that he is able to sense killing intent which he in turn can use his power out of reflex to instantly snuff out since he can somehow trace it. As almost always the explanation of killing intent is pretty iffy to be honest. For instance, person attacking him with insect several miles away can be traced and killed, person preparing to cast a spell or shoot an arrow from a hidden position is killed, but a person really preparing and devising a plan on how to kill him doesn't? Why? Cause of plot and it would be boring if they just died.

The MC himself is explained as being just a normal person if you exclude his powers. So he should be fairly easy to kill in all honesty since if planing to kill him doesn't emit killing intent then I can think of quite a few easy ways to kill him just from the top of my head.

  1. Have a person unaware of him shoot a spell in his general area, would emit no killing intent towards him then. Though "plot armor" would probably pop since he'd feel death approaching and trace it before it was shot.
  2. Since he only reacts to killing intent, it should be fairly easy to kill him without emitting killing intent. I mean if I am stung by an insect on my arm I will most likely slap it on reflex but I can't even begin to imagine that I ever emitted killing intent. But again plot armor would probably pop.
  3. The one thing to have the highest effect would probably be to attack/move so fast that he doesn't have time to react since he is "normal" his reaction speed even by reflex is not instant. On average it takes 0.7s - 3s for a human to react to things, though people have been shown to react as fast as 0, 4s if in a heightened/focused state. Which in all honesty should be enough to kill him or at least attack him, which would kill him, by any of those super powered ppl.
Just to name a few for fun, but yeah plot armor would most probably pop no matter what logical or possible plan was made since the story is as it is.

But yeah my issue isn't actually so much with his power and plot armor as it is with the fact that I actually find the MC to be quite boring, the heroine isn't really making me laugh at all with her constant outburst and retorts, a great problem I find with this story is the simple fact that something like the one-punch man works well because A) the enemies are given a chance to showcase themselves quite well B) It's graphical so you can actually see the effects and Saitama's punch that ends it all. C) Saitama is actually funny in his own way while this MC is stale as a dead fish.

So in short these three points are what doesn't work for me since, in most fights the enemies simply dies before they even do anything, the MC simply say's "die" and then they fall down, there is no real explanation or writing about it except the stated word die and well they die. Then lastly the MC is well boring.

So thats my take on this story <<less

It's a good read, it's just that the translation became much more confusing after vol 1 for someone who isn't native speaker like myself.

As for the plot I can't say much, I mean it's a gag novel what'd you expect?

The most interesting part about this novel actually was the world MC got reincarnated into

[collapse]
a world where actual "God" and Immortal exist and the MC can kill them given the chance

I do recommend reading the manga first then go to the novel if you like it.

This novel is good, overall!
History... OK!
Protagonist overpower.
Characters... Meeeh!
Various powers and many good ones!
Multiverse Theory and etc.

The biggest problem I encounter, would be the current translator take a little to release the chapters, probably because it is focused on another work.

I hope the same do not abandon the project and drop new chapters soon!

Honestly, I find him to be the strongest MC. His powers are like Saitama's with restrictions he made up to seal his powers while others think those are his limit. Also the settings are more unreasonable than CN novels (see young master=kill young master, their backup, clans and their backgrounds. This is more like see=kill

What does it make this LN better than most? It's better written. You can feel this author has some talent. I would say it's at the level of Overlord, Death March (the WN), Tsuki ga Michibiku, and way better than superficial stuff like Isekai Smartphone, Isekai Shinki to no Reunion and many others.

How so?

There is a consistent and living world, populated with many (somewhat) rounded characters being described. This story has a lot o potential. Unfortunatelly, as "ReadsWebNovels" noted, the translation quality dropped a... more>> lot with the new translator, the last chapters of volume 1 are practically unreadable. I hope he can improve (a lot!). <<less

I like this novel. There are a few twist and intressting story going on. A must read recommended novel. I just hope this novel keeps on the good track, dont lose the charisma of this novel. And dont start any damn slice-of-life arc filler.

Buuuuut. Its a japanese novel, dont expect any ending or closure for a looooong time. Read it if you can handle such japanese novels.
