Start of interesting plot but it really annoying afterward. MC act like 10 year old child which try to play cool and poor. His decision in all event that's writer try to convince is MC try everything because he don't want death flag, BUT all he did is just non-sense. I think every normal people can do better than this childish MC.

The only thing I can suggest is don't waste your time to lower your intelligent with this Novel.

If, like Elivi, you feel the novel is at fault for not conforming to your predisposed (and unrealistic) expectations for how intelligent people can be, then please look outside and rid yourself of those ridiculous fantasies.

All in all, this is an amazing work, and the translator, Defiring, does a fantastic job in bringing the story to life. I honestly wish he/she/they took on this novel first so the first half would've been better.

At first, the novel appears rather bland and unoriginal, but it truly shines by around when Defiring takes... more>> over, which is when the story's quality improves by leaps and bounds. All the characters get a lot more development, become more relatable, and the story drops a lot of unnecessary/confusing plot threads, bringing the overall quality up. I first thought the protagonist, Harold, would just be bad-mouthed brat, but the author quickly tones down the language to something more realistic and understandable, while also keeping the essence of the idea intact. Refined is the word I'd use for it.

When — and this is not an if — this gets an anime adaptation, I could see it being in the big leagues with Naruto, Attack on Titan, Hero Academia, etc.

Please give it a chance, at least up until chapter 49 when it really gets good! <<less

This novel is boring. There is no unique trait, no character development, no real enemy threat. It can only show how OP the MC is and how other characters respect him with a lot of cliches.

Ok this is a new type of isekai.. The story of MC gets misunderstood by everyone it is refreshing not like any generic isekais. The MC is kinda tsundere tho and always self blaming himself but he is still on alpha mode not like any other JP beta MCs. He doesn't have any confidences but have a motivations there is a bad things like a plot holes but bcus this novel is making me feels excited and enjoyment by a new experiences so I will give this a higher score.

One of the best stories that I've read that will really pull you in. The struggles of the MC just to break his death flags are just... wow. It's emotional but not overbearing. The way that the story is told isn't awkward and it flows naturally as you read.

For the characters, I find the MC very likeable and you can even find one character as best-girl. The plot has a good direction, one that doesn't deviate from its general objective, which is very much appreciated. Since this is so, it... more>> is possible for the reader to be naturally immersed in their world.

Truly a good read. Kudos to the author and the translator. <<less

I like the story. But maybe if I read this before I read tr*sh of the count's family. I will like it more. Its just this one resembled TotCF but in a darker way. Differences like the behavior and attitude of the parents and also the way he cant really control the character he is. And the people around him only a few has change their perspective of him. These are all good differences and it makes the novel more exciting. I even got teary on one part when the... more>> MC cried. But For now Im stopping at chapter 25 and will edit this review in the future. <<less

I guess the story has potential, but the combination of court language, imperfect translation and japanese insights dont mash well together. I had to stop reading because I found it very bothersome to understand what they are talking about.

One can say that you can become addicted to this story and I become the one. If you like RPG Isekai then it will be difficult to brake away from "My Death Flags Show No Sign of Ending". Reader will find pretty well described environment, well provided dialogs, overpowered main character and romance. But if you are not fan of this kind of stories then you may find it hard to finish. As few previous reviewers I broke reading of it after 50 part and just overlooked what will happen... more>> next. Different is that I think that I may come back to reading it again as I like this genre.

As I said I couldn't leave this story for very long time. But with this time there grows an irritation in a reader. It is caused by false narration of a story. Maybe my impression is caused by wrong translation but it looks more or less like below.

At the beginning it is narrated by third person by Kazuki's eyes. If this continues then one would not care much about other characters and we could focus on main character achievements which would be greater skills, powers caused by his inventions and knowledge about the game world future.

But with time author decided to switch and make this story kind of romance drama. So we started to know feelings and independent actions of other characters. Then another switch and we have got mixed narration. Other characters are described by first person narrator mixed with third person narrator. So we know Erica, Yuno, Sumeragi etc. Feelings and we become addicted to them. It is a total mess. Then a story becomes typical RPG. Except romance drama fantasy we receive unbearable two parallel stories which disturb each other.

Narration wouldn't be unbearable but there are other flows in "My Death Flag.." Most irritating is Erica/Harold realationship. It is artificially and irrationally complicated and delayed.. Maybe reader have to wait longer for them to get close but I lost my patience.

What is worse that narration of this relationship is broken many times in important moments after which we are moved in time. It is simply impossible that two loving each other people would not solve their relationship problems and still love each other for so many years. It looks very s*upid that Erica is going to understand more then anyone else and support Harold by avoiding him. And it is irritating that Erica vanishes from a story for a lots of chapters. Narration is broken in most important moments or just miss that moments. It is like braking very interesting movie 5 minutes before end. A drama would not be bad if we would have a proper explanation of it. The most heroic act of Harold ends with people despising him. Why???? Just because!! Author tries to explain it somehow but for me he fails.

Harold and Erica are to suffer just because author says so. Harold is one of them most dense guys in history. He does not notice a women and even his friends love for him. Why he s*upidly support main antagonist when with his knowledge and possibilities he could defeat him early and simple save the world? Why there is no explanation how he was saved by his friends. Etc etc.

You may like this story but for now I am tired of it. <<less

Alright all I had to say was that this novel was truly EPIC. First of all, I have just recently started reading LNs.I was a manga and anime person only so reading LNs patiently is a big task for me but this had so freakin invested. Alright forst of all to all the guys totally complaining about the MC acting alright in the first chap, Seriously guys can't you freakin read he said his body acted on his own and he found this eerie and the reason for this is... more>> actually stated at the end of vol.2

with the comedy elements of Harold calling everyone bastard. Him not being able to say what he wanted.I honestly laughed and enjoyed it quite a lot

then the mental strain of the MC shown in the LN was just BRILLIANT. Tbh I was so invested at times that I couldn't bear to see him in pain. Vol 3 and 4 rips your heart and I jist wanna give him a big hug

no harem, Pure action, light comedy and things making sense

and the only reason I picked it up was cause of his poisonous mouth that didn't let him do as he pleased. It was refreshing to see MC working to improve conditions while his mouth was contradicting him and causing difficulties for him because all the novels just depicts MC avoiding flags by using their witty mouths to make people love them and then they work to improve their lot. But this guy worked in the opposite situation. Even though it was frustrating at times too but generally good

LOVED IT!!! <<less

This novel has been one of the reasons why I check novelupdates daily. Although the reincarnated/transported to a game world story trope has been overdone more than a thanksgiving turkey, the story manages to hold its own because of how unique and fleshed out the characters are, the world building, and the pacing of the plot.

Harold does seem overpowered but the story has a way of making it seem like there is always a chance of failure or that Harold cannot truly win 100% without sacrifice which is something many... more>> authors of Mary Sue characters don't do as well as the author does. The other characters are also very nicely fleshed out with their own personalities and unique motives (very nicely shown through the well thought out Different POV chapters).

One thing many OP MC novels fail to do is also world build and even though the novel is written from Harold's POV, the author hits the nail on the head with how to world build. Many authors focus too much on the protagonist and forget about what happens around the protagonist however My Death Flags gives the reader just enough information to make it interesting and let you theorize what is happening in the world around Harold.

The pacing is also consistent throughout the novel with no major abrupt changes while still feeling like the story is progressing nicely. There are no major plot holes and everything is well thought out from the author's part right down to even the comedic parts of the novel.

Overall, one of my favorite japanese web novels which I would recommend to anyone. <<less

The story isn't bad but for some reason Author simply pushed MC to become the self-sacrificing tragic hero who doesn't mind being loathed, hated and at this point it seems he doesn't even mind dying any-more as long as the world is safe... which is the exact opposite of what the MC's plans are at the start of the series, which is to escape the fate of being killed because he took over a body of a villain that had the death flag.

Worse of all however is that MC can... more>> often easily accomplish everything he did, without reviving the wrong reputation for it but still, the author wants him to be the tragic hero so hey... here it is.

Adding to that however, by the end of the second volume, it's pretty much everyone loathes the MC but MC doesn't seem to care at all and has no reaction to it at all. I know that ignoring what people say about you, saves you a lot of trouble in life but generally, when entire world feels like spitting at the mere sight of you, it's not something a PERSON could ignore... but hey it's not like MC needs to be realistic does he.

In any case this major flaw of the story simply explodes at the start of the third volume and it really pushed me off. <<less

A novel where the author makes a basic mistake of trying to write a character smarter than himself. This results in a plot that has more holes than Emmental cheese. His actions make his an idiot because he causes all problems to himself and ignores opportunities for a religion of preserving the timeline instead of doing logical thing to have a plan to get the best advantage he could (no matter that MC doesn't know most of the actions because they weren't in the game).

For plotholes start with potion vegetables... more>> where the author tries to make MC smart but makes the epic fail as three people could keep a secret if one of them is dead. Whole plan falls apart because the first merchant would give few golds to a farmer for profits and it would spread pretty fast everywhere. <<less

It start to get boring when his helper try to clear the misunderstanding instead of helping the MC.

There no sign of the MC clearing his death flag and instead trying to ensure it happen so everything is like the game he knows

This is a good novel. You can see that the MC tried hard to stay alive and help the people he care about. He stranported to another world and turn out he be an evil character in the game he used to play. The romance development in this story are good and not rushing. The plot story are unpredictable and I dont feel bored to read this story again and again

A very unique twist on those "I've transmigrated into the f*cking damn villain" genres.

Particularly on the fact that Harold ends up being 'in character' as a result of his unfortunate circumstances regarding his voice. Hilarious because this gives off so much misunderstandings, and in a good way. People recognize his good intent, but then they start to over analyze why he's so arrogant on it.

It's a small change but the effect is really noticeable, I can't stop laughing because of the comedic miscommunication and it drifts away from the usual... more>> "holy sh*t this shitty boy is being nice??" reactions from the supporting cast. <<less

Although it is said that Harold (MC) will help Ryner (protagonist of the game) you can think that he will admit defeat and things like that in front of Ryner for Ryner to be above him and so, like a true protagonist who will save the world. But he didn't, Harold is way stronger than Ryner and he doesn't want to be defeated but he cannot break the protagonist so he creates "inspiring situations" to motivate Ryner to be stronger. He still defeats Ryner easily.

He (Harold) is very smart, everyone... more>> has a big headache dealing with him and trying to avoid his schemes

I'm confused about why Harold himself can't face the "Main antagonist" of the story since he is way stronger than Ryner and has a lot of ways to be even stronger, plus the fact that he is very smart and he can use the game's knowledge to defeat his enemies.

The Female Lead is cute, Erika was suppossed to be one of Ryner's harem members (his party) and Harold knews that so he avoids her by all means and is very cold towards her, he truly crushes every "favoring points" possible and does whathever he can to draw hate. But some things happened plus misunderstandings and now she loves him the most and her "moves" are slow since she know Harold's personality. <<less

The story feels forced. The MC is changing history itself, but because he's alone, it doesn't feel real and he is afraid of changing it too much that the final boss would change course. The character is supposed to die at the end, but at present he has gained enough sympathy to not be killed. This novel is good, but I can't help feeling that the ending would be a mess.

Great plot, Good Read, Awesome MC.. But somewhat dull side characters.

I really like the premise and execution of the story although I find some stuff overly exaggerated. But story is just nice that it negate those negativeness.

Anyway on a More serious note though. This story could really use a nicer heroine. Heroine1 really doesn't deserve the MC, cause the current heroine for me was nothing but a natural story burden and a hindrance and cause of unnecessary suffering for the MC. Sorry for the heroine1 fans here. But I could... more>> only see that girl nothing but a hypocrite who harbor false affection given birth by guilt and misunderstanding about the MC. Seriously, every single time I read this girls POV, the only thing I could see was nothing but his desire for atonement and Selfish guilt towards the MC and it specially irritates me when he look at the MC with pity and sympathy despite not really having a clue to what the MC is currently being been through I dunno about others but what heroine1 is experiencing Could be anything but love and affection. (Could you have imaginge if heroine1 never learned about the MCs true self. I bet he was already scorning the MC while condeming him over nothing) If author could just make a sub for this heroine with a girl who could love the MC for who he was and what he does.. Loving his past and future unconditionally. Then this novel could have been a top notch novel. <<less

The first 20 or so chapters were pretty interesting, then it proceeds to the combat arc. All the previously smart tactics and plots are mostly gone. Authors gone to the combat type of story which is very boring and typical. I lose interest very fast around chapter 30+.
