If you're new to here, I suggest you read the more polished version first, aka the light novel or manga version (which is based on the light novel).

The reason why I said that is you might be disillusioned into thinking thhis novel is all about revenge.

No, it's not.

... more>> Sure, at first the premise was all about revenge. But then Nito met with some people who had shown him that there are many ways of life; you can think about having revenge but you should never abandon your own happiness.

That's why after the first part the genre changes into Slice of Life, where Nito just stroll around the world, helping people here and there and seeking his own and his women's happiness.

That's why if you're expecting some bloody revenge, then you should find another novel to read. <<less

The world seems interesting, there's character development, FMCs that aren't just helpless damsels, and a bunch of other good points. At the very least you would expect a 3-4 star rating. But the issue is... the MC. While he grows in power, over the course of the story he mentally regresses even when everyone else is progressing. I don't want to spoil things too much (it's a review so some things will naturally be given away), but by the end of what's translated there's been no truly good development of... more>> the MC besides his power, while he constantly makes bad/contradicting choices because "plot." Looking online for how the series ends, the series never changes from this and the only "good" thing I could find about the ending was people glad that it had finally ended.

If you like sad/dark/edgy stories that don't end well for the MC then this is for you. If you aren't a fan of watching the MC spiral into depravity even with people trying to help him then you'll want to stay away. <<less

It looks like the author borrowed ever idea from other writers. MC becomes insanely powerful, MC doesn't know he is insanely powerful, MC is scared of something, MC seeks revenge, MC is surrounded by cardboard characters, hot noble women (check), exotic demon girl (check) cute beast girl (check), and I stopped ready at chapter 60 but I expect he will find a majestic elf girl sometime later. What killed it for me, MC goes from above average IQ to low IQ is the span of 3 paragraphs. Walking away.

its not a written as a guide, does not have any type of guide like structure, no guide like side chapters, I was really disappointed, with a title like that the author could had so much fun, but he choose to make it generic, typical isekai revenge story, everything happens because of the main character or happen to interact with the main character, do not expect any plot twists or surprises, there are none

main character is not a neet, not a real neet,... more>> he is just a normal dude that gets bullied before being isekaied, if you are already reading a good isekai, or have already read an isekai, do not read this expecting something special, its average, the definition of average in fact. <<less

This is dumb. If you want to exact revenge, just do it. Why bother someone else's point of view just to not doing it? The author aren't fit to write revenge stories like this as it get's ridiculous contradict with how he want it to be. He should just killed Saeki when he had the chance but instead are too s*upid to be scared of getting expelled but in the end, he's getting one as he killed Kogkyou. Where are the logic of his thinking? You let the bastard who... more>> bully and abuse you alive but killed someone who you felt annoyed? I think the author is WAAAY confused than hidaka. <<less

I'm writing these I read the manga of some parts of the novel this novel really have potential to be exact but the premise should have not been focused on revenge because why would he have drive and that emotion and driving force to even strive to survive but cant even kill adventures that tried to kill him 2 times, that just f*ck it would have been better if he kills those people that deserve to be killed and he didnt even mind killing that last boss simething in the... more>> dungeon but have remorse for people that tried to kill him 2 times (wrong judgement by the author), the mmorpg system sh*t is wack it gives him instance reward without even working for it like his intiteld or something that he believes he deserves it (that just wrong move), it just making him lose himself more because he didnt earn it in the first place. <<less

Probably the author has experienced being bullied. What we read until the end is a nuclear bomb kid on a tantrum. King and Princess is bad.. kill. Bullies find out his identity trying to apologize.. kill. Childhood friend? What is that? Not much impact on the story. Harem? At the final war, he killed all his girls... remember bullying is bad.. we might created a monster because of bullying.

When he realized his revenge was all for nothing... his predecessor reset the world back to when the class about to summoned.... more>> When the world reset back, his bullies save him, his harem saves him and he gone to a journey with his OP Harem. There...i spoil the whole story. In my opinion, this is not a memorable story. I couldn't stand to read the whole story.... skip some arc.. read at the end... it's not tr*sh but better skip this. <<less

I'm leaving this here because the reviews for this novel are absolutely ridiculous. Seriously, why are you reviewing after reading as little as 3, 10, 12 or 20ish chapters? You just look dumb.

None of the complaints hold up. Literally none.

The MC was bullied at school and he committed su*cide at the very beginning. Right after being reincarnated in another world along with his classmates who weren't reincarnated but transported, he finds new hope in the fact that everyone gets a class, except for the fact that his class is useless.... more>> Also his class looks down on him after finding out that he killed himself in their original world. But apparently it's okay to ridicule him in the reviews and call him a coward because he couldn't get over the bullying? Well, guess what, after getting discarded in his second life he gets really pissed, and threatens to kill all of his classmates and the people who summoned him just to discard him. And of course he would, he's emotional. He just went through su*cide not even 5 minutes ago.

This is when these so called "reviewers" stop taking the novel seriously and drop it, but if you read a few more chapters you find out that the MC is actually a pretty decent guy. Even though he threatened to kill his classmates he doesn't go through with it, he kinda doesn't give a f*ck about them. They complain that he'll never take revenge, but he takes revenge on the pieces of sh*t who summoned him in one of the most gruesome ways I've ever seen, and they absolutely deserve it since the hero summoning requires for thousands of human sacrifices, and the humans that are sacrificed need to go through torture to squeeze every last drop of magic out of them. And by the way, he takes revenge rather quickly. It's actually the first major thing he really does in this new world, you could even say that his revenge is the starting point of this novel. But according to some people he's never going to take revenge at all. How about you read a couple more chapters? Literally.

Let's be honest for a second. The shitty reviews are due to people simply hating on the MC for committing su*cide. That's it. Even though he turns over a new leaf not even 10 chapters in and only takes revenge on people who deserve fates worse than death. He doesn't even bother looking for the bullies who turned his life into a living hell. People just can't accept MC's who show weakness, or at least they can't accept MC's who show weakness to the point of going through with su*cide. But is it really that unheard of for a victim of bullying suffering from depression and losing their will to live?

Now does this deserve a 4/5? I dunno, but it doesn't deserve the 1/5 people rate it with after reading a couple of chapters either so f*ck it. <<less

Definitely not as bad everyone made it out too

We have a hero being consumed by his own power if he going against his true desires. If he keeps failing he will be demoted from abyssal King candidate to just a fool.

If he becomes a fool then he destroys the world and everyone in it.

So... I don't generally write reviews for Japanese Novels. Mostly because they tend to be really long with no end in sight, or they aren't fully translated. In any case, I mostly end up giving up a novel halfway and coming back to it after a really long time.

This time I decided to write one because this novel is receiving a lot of unfair backlash. While I cannot say this is one of the better novels I've read, I can say it's not as bad as the one star reviewers... more>> are labelling it as. If you're the type of reader that is patient and willing to wade through a few dozen chapters, it's not that bad of a story. That said if you are the type of reader that dislike roundabout scenarios and reading through stories written by fledgling writers then you should just drop this novel and move on.

As stated beforehand in the synopsis this is a revenge story, but not the kind of revenge plot that is most spoken for (i.e. Shield Hero, Arifureta, etc.) It is more... mellow and not as vein-throbbing and anger-inciting as the aforementioned examples. In fact, the associated title is a better name for this novel. It has a slice-of-life undertone, with revenge as an a la carte. It's more about a suicidal/self-deprecating character who finds his meaning in living in the world. It's just really buried under the messy, underdeveloped writing of an inexperienced author. If you're interested in the premise, but don't want to go through the writing, you can also just try the manga version of this story.

About the character and the 'revenge plot':

Spoiler

He does take revenge. Although it wasn't instigated by himself, he doesn't abandon it half-way and it's actually quite early on that he manages to get his revenge on the kingdom that summons him. This is probably because the revenge plot is more of a tool that the author uses to drive a suicidal character into caring about his life enough to not just give up in a dangerous dungeon, and a setting that allows the MC to meet and get acquainted with an anti-corruption terrorist gang.

Awful. Revenge novel that delivers cringe. Huge logic holes, one of the s*upidest weak to OP powerups I've recently read (why didn't the level 500 mimic eat him? A natural disaster level monster that can end countries couldn't be arsed walking a few feet and eating a Lv1 free meal). Inexplicable harem. Title is a bait and switch, story has jack all to do with healing (MC gets skill steal powers on top of skill effect reversal). MC beats the shortest dungeon ever to become OP in the beginning and... more>> b*tches about it in the rest of the story. When MC meets his classmates again he can't even do his revenge right. Translation is not good.

allright I have read the manga try the novel now, I will say this novel kinda hard to review, I mean really really hard to review, its your regular op MC isekai, MC grow slowly try to change but he cannot because when he try to forget revenge and become a good guy.........................................

MC realize this is the most f$ck up isekai world he ever seen, yeah he change from naive guy to try become better guy that not naive, try to forget revenge and get good life because many good... more>> people in the town that care who he is even being useless healer.

but then he encounter the truth about how is summon ritual works that litterally need a 1 town's of people then torture them to extract magic until death, the worst s*avery in history, racism, EATING BEASTMAN and every country king's is VERY EVIL, finally he flip turn into 100% yandere overprotective his harem / good friends he know.

yeah im talking akame ga kill world type of building that every country king can mu*der their citizen like hunting games, im not blaming MC why he getting worst mental health issue here, become mad, crazy not just because his classmate are bad, because the world is very bad as well.

his harem, his friend & everyone he know not safe in this world.

i don't blame MC turn evil, become overprotective and go crazy, this is the isekai world you don't want to visit.

is this novel deserve low rating ? no

does this novel deserve hi rating ? nope 3.5 is the best rating not everyone can swallow dark tone world building + overprotective yandere MC that literally want revenge as well.

the author I think bored making mainstream isekai world where everything is peacefull, in this world " PEACEFULL IS NOT OPTIONS". if you not carefull, you die / kitnap / or any posible bad thing can happen to MC, his harem, his friends. <<less

If I had to resume what you should expect from this novel in one word it would be inconsistency. The premise is pretty simple, bullied MC is summoned to another world with his class and bullies, receives a class considered tr*sh, gets exiled/teleported to an end game dungeon, swears revenge on the kingdom and his bullies for underestimating him and becomes op in 10 chapters. So far the scenario is just your generic power fantasy with an underestimated MC and a pinch of revenge plot. The first “real” arc starts,... more>> I call it arc but it is just MC staying in one area and doing stuff as an adventurer. It spans chapter 10 to 50 approximately. Honestly it wasn’t that bad for a chill read.

But when the MC starts travelling the plot goes to sh*t. First I think I counted more or less 5 unfinished plot points in the first location, that are never addressed later on. Second the pace is all over the place. It feels like one of those stories where the author rushes to finish in fear of getting axed, the problem is we aren’t even half way through the story. Third, the author tries to give depth to the MC by having him take odd decisions in moral situations only to give you a half baked and incoherent reason for said decision. One of the most representative moments is around chapter 70:

Spoiler

the MC and a group of vigilantes/terrorists/revolutionaries choose to eradicate a king and princess for having ordered the genocide of their citizens after an uprising (over losing their connection to a pseudo-TV). The king is killed by the partners and his last words are something like “I’m the king, my kingdom and citizens are my property so I can do whatever I want”. MC has no problem with him dying. But when the princess, who actually ordered the genocide and wanted the citizens to be burnt alive, throws out “I never wanted to be a princess, I’m two-faced because it’s what people want to see so I’m a victim too. You (the MC) should know what it’s like right? I mean you are hiding your face so you are a liar, and evil. I thought you would understand me.”. (Yeah even when writing this I still don’t get how she got to this conclusion). When the MC hears that he goes “mmh who am I to judge. Good and evil are abstract and subjective concepts. I also want to take revenge against my bullies so I can’t judge her. Hmm... alright I’ll just add her to my harem. PROBLEM SOLVED. ». Wtf none of this scene makes any sense and the author tries to make us believe that the MC is actually making a coherent decision but is just misunderstood by his group...

[collapse]

Honestly I tried to trust the author thinking it was just a down phase for the story and it would improve but after 40 chapters of bullsh*t I give up.

tldr: don’t read it if you are looking for a story that makes sense. That’s it. <<less

I've read ahead with online translators. The writing isn't great (the content, not the translation). The characters behave strangely, their motives and actions feel disjointed or "jumpy". It's almost like there's more going on in the story the author didn't bother to write.

The story starts off with him wanting revenge, but through internal monologue we learn that revenge isn't everything. Basically, he isn't going to ruin his life just to hurt the people that hurt him. Personally, I like stories where the MC heals, grows, and prioritizes happiness over revenge.... more>> BUT!...

Spoiler

then he nose dives, and by the end of the story everyone's dead, emotionally crippled, or sealed like an evil god. There's reasons why it turns out this way, but if I wanted a tragic story I'd watch the news.

This is just my personal preference; Let me escape into fantasy! Give me a happy ending!

Primer, the TL's quality is all over the place, and it's quite obvious some confusing passages are probably more sensible in Japanese. There's effectively no quality control/editing before some of the translated chapters are put out. Not to mention the ubiquitous your/you're-they're/their/there problems, there are instance of auto-correct weirdness. "What the f*ck" got turned into "What the French Toast" at one point, and I've seen what must have been "dumb looking" show up as 'dumbledore' too. This only shows that I can't be sure whether or not some of the... more>> more arcane chapters are quasi-nonsensical because the author is just inconsistent or if it's just TL badness.

It's generic but it could have been saved. Up until somewhere around the moment the MC gets vast recognition for his deeds, it's could actually be quite charming at times. Then it got edgy. Bad edgy. It got so bad that it actually kept killing any semblance of immersion; at any such 2EDGY4U moment, you can't help but pull back and try to figure out what the heck is wrong with the author. At some point, a supporting character was unceremoniously dumped because it was obvious she would be incredibly disapproving of the MC's future antics. She was, in other words, too normal to keep as a follower. Obviously this happen for 'a reason' in-universe but the move is the most transparent character reshuffle I've ever seen in fiction. Even My Immortal was never that bad.

Speaking of normies, they are apparently nonexistent in this Other World. Everyone has mental issues. ALL OF THEM! I'm only exaggerating a little, there's maybe two or three characters that could pass for well adjusted. Heck, the main 'girl' suddenly develops something like a secondary personality effectively out of nowhere, only for that to be resolved somehow and not actually be explained. Everything that isn't explained immediately will not be explained further down the line, period.

There are a lot of things that go wrong in this, and I could probably list a hundred other items that are just heckin' wack, but if you've made it this far into my review... Well, thrust me, alright? Don't.

P.S. Maybe the manga will streamline some things, but reading the novel really killed it for me. I don't think anything but a complete rewrite of everything post-first-town would be enough. <<less

Starts off decently. Not a great novel by any means, but it's fine if you need something to read. At chapter 69 it takes a complete turn to shit. The MC completely changes almost instantly, his decisions makes no sense, and you just sit there wondering if the author died and some 14 year old emo kid took over writing without telling anyone.

If you're bored, read up to chapter 65 or so and just stop.

I usually read revenge stories because the appeal of someone who lost a lot and tries to go on a miserable path to enact revege on people who wronged them or someone who had nothing and tries to take everything from others are both interesting. But I read enough to know this is just the story of how a baby with superpowers cries and destroys the things that caused them to cry.

No one would be able to find empathy on anything that happens to him, he's just that petty and... more>> superficial. I wonder if someone will make a joke about how he would've prefered to be born as a animal-eared and tailed demihuman because if they do something bad "it's humans' fault".

I read this to find something entertaining, and as entertaining it's to read the author's best efforts to find self-pleasure in how everyone and everything goes like he wants, might as well watch videos of actual people self-pleasuring, because this isn't worth the psychic pain and nauseating feelings.

Will be back to read when this is over <<less

Edit/Update*

Ok read up till chapter 27 and man I got pretty bad. The MC is so carefree that I don't even see this as a revenge story and the author is forcing the harem party members so hard it's painful to read. The rest of the story is so shallow that the initial veneer of a serious story has all peeled away. If you are thinking of picking this up to read be warned.

... more>> Old thoughts*

Not sure about this one. Seems a little forced and cliche. It may be a decent story but the genre is so overdone right now that its hard to tell a gem from a turd sometimes. The potential is there but it really hard to take an OP character and make good use of their abilities and be interesting. The fact this is also going to be a harem novel really makes me less optimistic. Harem novels almost never offer anything witty or creative. They simply pander to the lonely and desperate. Here is hoping the harem is a minor byproduct and not a major part of the story. I'm only at chapter 9 so I figure by 20 or sooner I should have my answer to if its good or not by then with how fast the pace is. Will update my review then. <<less
