The Death Mage Who Doesn’t Want a Fourth Time

Description

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

Amamiya Hiroto is unlucky. His life consisted of misfortune after misfortune, culminating in an unlucky death during an incident on a school boat trip, trying to save a girl he barely knew. After death, he met a god of reincarnation who requested that the hundred or so dead passengers—one of them being the girl he tried in vain to save—be reincarnated into another world.

Yet a series of unfortunate events forced Hiroto to reincarnate with even less luck than before, starting with nothing but a tremendous amount of Mana. His second life, far worse than his first, came to a cruel end.

However, upon meeting the god a second time, he was informed that there would be yet another reincarnation—one that had already been set in motion and could not be stopped. Not wanting Hiroto to live long, the god cursed him before he was reborn in the hopes that he would either die quickly or commit su*cide.

Hiroto was reborn once more as a half-Vampire, half-Dark Elf. A Dhampir. Not wanting a fourth life, he is determined to live this third life with the only things remaining from his previous lives—death-attribute magic and his enormous Mana pool.

Great start and great story from the beginning. Interesting characters and MC. But in one moment I don't know what happened. I just get lost in so many characters (especially in harem), foods, level ups, gods and names for new species..... is boring and difficult to follow what's going on.

If only this is novel doesn't have the typical jp harem plot that I don't like. The illustrations for the females character is a typical jp novel or manga which has an abnormal big b**bs that I don't like (totaly put an almost instant halt to my desire to read it). If the novel don't have the above thing I mentioned I will probably give a five star because it's has a unique plot that I want to read. (I don't know if I will read it again)

While the story definitely has an underlying plot, it doesn't travel at the same speed as the main character.

And that's a bad thing.

Because unlike in most stories, the MC is always one step ahead of the antagonists. Sometimes this is on purpose, and other times on accident. Even 'God' doesn't know what to do anymore, except for sending pawns to do his bidding.

... more>> And it completely ruins the suspense.

There isn't really a reason to enjoy a story like this, not unless you love stories about dominating your enemies. Don't ever expect the MC to be in real trouble, except for the very start, because after he and his gang has settled down, there is no more need to worry about the struggle of survival anymore.

Only base building. Lots and lots of base building, increasing the harem and creating a perfect utopia of multiculturalism of lots of races. Each with their own female harem token character, or two.

I do admit, the antagonists are more varied and interesting compared to other novels I've read. Its just that as long as they pose no threat, they cannot be take seriously. <<less

I always get annoyed by Isekai's that do a lot with food, but then I think to myself what I'd do if I was transported to a world where there were no cheeseburgers and realize that I have no room to talk. It's a good anti-hero isekai with a likeable main character although I do think he gets too strong too fast. It has a detailed description of abilities and strength progression though which I always like. The big thing is that it's just hard for me to imagine what... more>> the end game is. He keeps getting more undead and reversing the aging of people who are still alive, so you're left imaging an ending where it's just a world where everybody lives forever. It'd be a weird ending but one that would be weirdly refreshing. <<less

Really good writing and translating. Theres a reason this guy gets donations on hundreds of dollars. HE IS VERY GOOD.

But why is this 4 stars? Its freaking long. Its as long as some other ones but it feels longer because it feels full of filler. Are we really going to have each chapter for each little piece of land he conquers? Cant we like speed up a lil bit and focus on the more important part of the plot?

just dont focus read this, read a lil bit and then some... more>> others <<less

Spoiler

This author has some weird fetishes. Practically all women/heroines in the novel have either been r*ped, sold as a prostitute or live in a tribal society where orgy's and sharing s*x partners with the entire village is normal.
The reason the MC is having a hard time now is because he told the god he was gonna kill the 100 otherworlders, but after coming to that world, he starts by not wanting to kill innocents in case the otherworlders found out, which in the reasons he gave was reasonable, but then it suddenly escalates to even helping complete strangers far away that has nothing to do with him or any connection, just because "if the otherworlders found out later it would be bad". Thats some sh*t part of the story he's acting like this toward the people who killed him, and also because he himself was the one who swore revenge on them and so on, but suddenly change out of the blue more and more.

[collapse]

Otherwise it's definitely a good novel with very interesting idea, setting, magic and skills of MC. I can recommend this one.

This novel got me hooked at the start but it seems that the author is aiming to add lots of filler just to extend the series. It is starting to get really tiresome to read. And harem is already to saturated. MC goes to this place, helps this race, gets another woman, repeat. Where is the killing? Revenge? Why is Rodcorte mean towards MC? It just feel so forced that I am starting to get dissapointed. 3 star rating due to the good start.

I really do like this novel. I find Van really interesting and am enjoying his adventure but I hate his harem. Some of their conversations are fun to read but others it's just them arguing about who will be the better wife and about having his baby and I find it really unsettling. Not to mention it has already reached a size that lowers my enjoyment even more. If your up for that go for it. I'll keep reading because I really am interested in where Van's adventure will go... more>> and skim over the harem arguments since they all are basically the same. <<less

This novel is great. The world building is fantastic, though some things just don't make sense. The character building seems half assed at first, but proves to be very complex. And The plot leaves so many possibilities. There are time skips, but not many, and not big. Truly a great read. A big focus of this story is that gods are not omnipotent.

... more>>
Spoiler

just know that although Rodcorte seems to be a pitiable god who just makes some s*upid mistakes due to his inexperience in doing things outside his profession, he really is just an as*hole due to s*upidity, and irresponsibility.

[collapse]

Also, know that side story' are important. Especialy for world building. Unless you only want to see things from MC perspective 99% of the time.

Spoiler

like how van didn't get truly cursed, and how he got so many jobs and gods supporting him.

I'm not a good reviewer and this is only commentary but i'll explain why I like this novel while there are some part that I don't like, once again this is only my opinion.

1. Harem flag unnecessary mc's only a shota so lets make almost every women near him show excessive affection mentality.

2. Boring Isekai type protagonist.I believe we've seen better author execute this properly.

4. However it's pretty fun read I don't know why but if you read I think you'll understand that this novel is fun but it has... more>> some flaw however for me it is fun so, whatever.

i guess there is no point in me writing this, huh ? <<less

a Simple review about Yondome wa Iya na Shizokusei Majutsushi :

(+)

*Good Plot

... more>> *Good World-Building

*Good Explanation, Good Description about Skill and Detailed Story. (No Plot Hole)

*Long Chapter, the Author really know how to write a story

(-)

*Good Plot, but sadly it has Repeatable Event (Go to Other Race > Meet the Girl from Other Race > Save them > Save their Race> Problem Solved)

*PowerCreep that somehow beyond our Imagination

*Too many character on Protagonist Side

*The Harem basically are Pedophilia (They know Protagonist Physical Body is just 6-9 y.o child, yet they asking him to give a child)

*To be honest, for me, the Side Story far more interesting than the Main Story

*The Story is focused on Kingdom Building.

Overall (3/5) :

This novel basically is "Inferior version" of "Tensei Shitara Slime Datta-ken" and for some reason similiar to "Suikoden Series" with the Skill Explanation are similar to "Kumo Desu-ga, Nani ka?", Good to Read, but dont expect to much just because you read the few first chapter, because in the time you read more chapter, you will loss Interest in this Novel. <<less

It's quite interesting that MC is in a way more evil that evil Gods even in their eyes. But there could have been some deaths near him.

MC saves people that are mentally damaged and with his powers he looks like a god to them and Vida race.

MC has Op abilitys and is insane but sane at the same time but for the battles most of them go that they are suprised what MC can do, think they got higher hand and in the end get destroyed. Although MC does not... more>> forgive and gets revange but there's only a handful of those targets because latter he thinks it's not worth it or it doesn't mather.

MC Harem Is most forced on him but he acceptes very easily like common MC.

Those who attack MC or conspire agains him give him too much time to prepare. We think that MC doesn't know that there is a battle up a head but it turns out he already knew all along. It would be good if there were suprise attack that leave him severely wounded not just from his own self destruction when6he test or does magic stuff.

The story is quite intresting and the interaction and the way he builds the kingdom but the battles even though the skills are hard to guess it's easy to guess how it will be fought. I liked the story but some of his personality quirks like I don't care but still will save evryone and similar or battles not that much. Still give 5 stars for this <<less

So it’s not exactly bad just disappointing in a way. I’ve been on and off so there are some good moments that can get your adrenaline going or you feeling genuine pity for the MC but basically being influenced by the novel. It has really cliche moments and it makes you wanna stop, I did. I only came back to feel the tugging at the heart strings and I became curious to what was coming next and what happens to this MC... ignoring the cliche and dumb moments. The thing... more>> that’s making me stop again is the website... idk if its cause the site has so many ads it freaking crashes but I just couldn’t handle it anymore cause it never stopped. You’re amazing if ur able to keep on reading despite all the crashes and reloads assuming it has happened to you... If not well good for you. I used an iPhone so maybe that was why I haven’t tried on anything else so idk. <<less

Good japanese novel, right above average. Good story, a bit boring at times because of repetitive lines.

MC name is Vandal in raw, TL made it Vandalieu for unknown reason, in the translated version. Even english wiki has been affected.

Good to read at least once. Hopefully you would read it in japanese, so you get the original MC's name. Btw, why only MC's name? the rest are fine...

... more>> A warning, it's kinda slow pace, only few time skips.

In few hundreds of chapters I've read, the slow pace is punctuated with some movements here and there, making the overall read a bit interesting. <<less

Good one, Kinda like "Tsuki ga Michibiku Isekai Douchuu" With the whole hating the summoning god, dabbling in being a merchant, and hiding there true power. The main character is kind of OP once you get into it and he may be too "kind" but people seem to forget he has no emotion so being mad would be out of character too imo. It's almost like he's afraid to lose what he has now after losing his mother.

So I love the world building in this, there is never one thing... more>> going on and all the side characters are more interesting then some of the main followers. Reminded me of a video game, he travels the world leveling up before really engaging in any hard enemy's. There several nations, worlds, and factions at conflict at all times keeping it interesting. The reactions to this little kid mage showing up and just messing with people is interesting. I wish there was more mystery for the reader, because a lot of the characters are kept in the dark. It makes some characters feel s*upid even though there is really no way for them to have that info, even though its been such relevant information for the reader so far.

Like most in this category it deals with discrimination, its a little more fleshed out in this. Its good with that subject because its rarely done, but the author tends to flesh out other aspects of the story that seem extra, like with the powers. I get it he has special powers, you don't need to constantly justify it.

Spoiler

Can't wait to see how he deals with the new enemy country, the side story with the Hero's kid, the new batch of humans summoned by the gods, what the gods that defected are going to do, what that random hero secretly fighting for the monster will do, and interested in why that old man hero is interested in Julia.

A nice read. Good for passing time. I would say the writing is definitely above the average novel.

That said I do have a problem. The author seems to be repeating a lot of information that causes the chapter to bloat.

Example:

... more>> Normal novel: he took a step forward. He moved forward until he reached the front door.

Death mage: he took a step with the feet that was wearing the special white shoe that was given by the God which looks like angels is constantly showers the shoe with divine light, forward.

He moved with the feet that was wearing the special white shoe that was given by the God which looks like angels is constantly showers the shoe with divine light, and finally reached the front door while wearing the special white shoe that was given by the God which looks like angels is constantly showers the shoe with divine light.

**********

This is exaggerated but you get the idea. <<less

Okay, so this is a fun little novel. The chapters are really long so there is no lack in content which is nice. Honestly, I gave this novel only a 4.0 because sometimes there seems to be too much content and I just skim the chapter until I get to important parts. The quality of the translation is great.

Honestly, the MC of this novel is great, for the first time ever, I've gotten to read about an Anti-hero/hero. What I mean by this is the MC has little to no... more>> mercy for his enemies, willing to kill them and revive them as undead to kill more of them, before finally shattering the souls of the ones who pissed him off. At the same time, he's willing to help innocent people that he's never met before purely because making them happy would make him happy. You can really tell how twisted his personality is though; he desires luxury, not because he is greedy, but because he was always denied luxury. Basically he desires the idea of luxury.

All in all, I'd recommend at least giving this novel a try if you have some free time on your hands.

P.S, to those who are worrying about him being weak or relying on others the entire time, he actually becomes quite powerful pretty quickly in the story. <<less
