Description
Links are NOT allowed. Format your description nicely so people can easily read them. Please use proper spacing and paragraphs.A 34-year-old NEET otaku, chased out from his house by his family, found that his life is reaching a dead end. He then recalled that his life could actually have been much better if he had made better choices in the past.
Just when he was at the point of regret, he saw a truck moving at fast speed, and three high schoolers in its path. Mustering all the strength he had, he tried to save them and ended getting run over by the truck, quickly ending his life.
The next time he opened his eyes, he is reincarnated to a world of sword and magic as Rudeus Greyrat. Born to a new world, a new life, Rudeus decided that, “This time, I’ll really live my life to the fullest with no regret!” Thus starts the journey of a man yearning to restart his life.

– M*sturbates on his parents funeral day
– Sees a group of s*aves, who are beaten/raped and near death btw. What does our MC think first? Of course that they are nearly naked, what turned him on, ignoring their wounds and sorrowful bodies..
– Mother gets abducted, it’s highly possible that she’s getting beaten/lives miserably as a s*ave. MC does not even care. Forgets her and lives his life, chilling with his girls. Who cares if his mom is getting r*ped all day? As long as he lives fine everything is good. /s
and him marrying another and then the first girl comes back like, uhhh, do u still love me?

.....
I didn't read after the first female lead ran off after their first time... like WTF?!! Thinking 'he would understand why she left'..........
I had skipped to the end to find out the ending FYI
The story is
goodnot that bad, but the MC and some is s*upid (especially his decision making when in troublealmost all the time), irritating and disgusting. Let me give some example:- So you traveled with 2 companion, 1 is a super strong men that always win easily and then someday they cross again a strange person. The super strong man and the other companion is afraid and very vigilant against that man, this is the first time you see this, they want the strange man to go quickly. So I should call to him and ask what is your relation to my companion, right? Instead of wait until he's gone and then just ask my companions.
- You see your father again after several years and he became drunk, depressed and become kidnapper. Of course I would not worry first and ask him what's going on, instead I should tell him my happy story first, right? Something like this happen two times, the second time is when his mother missing.
- There are these two guys that look into person A in the distance and then said to the MC, "Can you introduce him to us?". Then later they said "Phew I got nervous whether person A see our disguise or not because he's got demon eye". When they can just ignore him instead they asked to be introduced without reason and risk their disguise discovered. I don't even know what the author thinking.
- Someone want to give him advice, rather than just hear him, there are like 10 paragraphs just saying how people like them is shady and he don't want to hear their advice. It's just advice and not like they force you to follow it, why don't just listen first. It's very irritating.
- He put a panty, and a cloth that have a virg*n blood on shrine and pray to it. He deitify a girl as his god. And no, it's not funny story.
- He jerk off when his parent's funeral.
- and many more, so many more...
So much inconsistency, non sense and s*upidity. I seriously don't recommend reading this unless maybe you are below 15. I read somewhere that many jp webnovel is written by middleschooler (i don't know at all if it's true or not), so maybe that's why.
1.) The plot is not bad: it's lacking a main antagonist so far, but it's ok, each character still has his motives to go on with his/her life, and most of them seem pretty realistic (what with saving your family, improving yourself because you feel you're below the one you love, stuff like that).
2.) The setting: the world could be better structured, but it's still a good, fairly standard fantasy setting, with the different races, it's history with its wars connected to the problems between said races, the different cultures (though only very slightly touched upon).
3.) I like the fighting system/rankings, with how decently structured magic is, with almost limitless potential, but hard to reach (since it's connected to how natural events actually can be manifested, like gathering clouds for a storm is not just "your mana turns into clouds"), and the sword part which has it's schools with different focuses, without one being absolutely better than the other.
4.) Characters (in general) : I like the different variety, which feels refreshing from the usual "arrogant noble with great backing who feels the world is beneath him because he's got a great father/sect" that I got used to seeing in chinese novels. Also as I said above they actually have they're own objectives, mostly coherent with their lives and experiences.
Now on to the bad part: the main character. I find it really really hard to stand Rudeus. On one side I can sympathize with him, I know how it feels to be a shut in, and also how it is to be bullied (though not as bad), so I understand his lack of confidence in himself. What I don't understand is how he doesn't seem to get any better in this regard while piling up accomplishments. I'm not saying he should become arrogant, that wouldn't work well, it would be out of character, but he still goes around with the attitude that almost anyone could be stronger/better than him, while he has actual proof from first hand experience that it is not so. Sure the encounter with the Dragon God has been traumatizing in this aspect, and Eris leaving him with no explanation even more so (as a blow to his self confidence), but after these events what does he do? Basically nothing. It doesn't make sense: he goes on living as an adventurer, almost mindlessly (with the excuse of searching for the missing mother), without trying in any way to improve himself; he got so scared from the Dragon God, but he still doesn't think of improving his ability as a mage to avoid becoming so defenseless again. Even when he gets to the academy he barely bothers to look for more powerful spells and stuff like that, to the point that he got there with the only objective of curing his impotency, caring for almost nothing else.
In short, he doesn't feel like a driven character, someone that strives to improve himself. In the beginning this aspect was present: how he earnestly learned magic, how he struggled and fought to get some decent skill with the sword despite not having as good a talent as with magic and not having a suitable teacher, how he bothered to learn various languages... Then this suddenly disappears. During his journey maybe it was normal, he had to survive first, but after things calmed down, and after seeing how he could not deal with certain situations (hello again Dragon God!) it just didn't come back. The single redeeming feature he had...
And here we come to what was, to me, the worst part: the ever present s*xual urges. The only moment in which he doesn't think about that is when he's dying (and maybe it's not even completely true). It's just too much, to the point that it seems that the female main characters to him matter only as potential lovers, to the point that when he was an infant (even with the mental age of a neet in his 30s) his mother breastfeeding him was something erotic. To the point where while Eris was weak due to seasickness he had to restrain himself from raping her. To the point that he got aroused seeing the naked, vexed and wounded bodies of the kidnapped beast race children. Aroused by wounded, ens*aved children. That was an all time low so far, the most disgusting moment of the main character. That's not simply a hikikomori otaku who lived for years immersed in erot*c novels (he had also spent more than 10 years in this new world, plenty of time to understand that life is different from certain fantasies and that some things are just not right, and plenty of time to understand there's more to life than s*x, like relationships with other people...).

- there is generally too much info and too much text for too little content. You read for hours and in the end nothing happens. You read a lot of mc's thoughts on some boring matter you don't even care. For example he has some thoughts on things, that are common sense and didn't even need to be addressed, but he does it regardeless.
Volume 1 was okay. Except for some scenes and minor suprises, there was nothing really interesting. You have to bear with some info dumps here and there. A huge dissapointment is the fast acceptance of this genius child (our mc). It doesn't matter his parents, his teacher or in later volumes the other characters he met. They all treat him as if his genius in magic, behaviour and other skills are normal. At least you don't get the feeling, that he is REALLY special in the mind of other people. In Volume 2 are some interesting characters introduced. I enjoyed this volume a little, because of their personalities. I liked the interaction between some characters, but nothing really interesting happens here either (storywise). Except for the ending, which has no build up/foreshadowing and happens in a few sentences :D Volume 3 was something that got me really angry, because of the redundant, boring jrpg sideqest (or fetch quest) like storyline. What happens in this volume? Well, basically this:They travel to a city, enter a adventure guild and do some quest to earn money (yawn*). What are the quests like you ask? There are a ton of chapters on a quest to search for a pet. Interesting, right? Later they discover this pet was abducted. Some adventurers abduct pets, just to fulfill the request of the client later (yawn*)
I kid you not. This is the level you have to bear storywise.
Do you remember the sweet Sylphiette? Yes it is the little girl, who ows all her later achievements to our MC. Because of him she learned a lot of unique skills. She would even die in a future accident, if it wasn't for MC's training sessions. Later in the story they got seperated and Sylphiette made acquaintance with the princess of the kingdom. Many years later MC and Sylphiette met again. Syphiette is still grateful to the MC. They got all lovey-dovey and even married. All okay so far, right? Yes, except she told him, that she would abandon him, because of the princess. She cares more about her. She loves him and of course she would love her children, but her priority is still the princess. The protection of the princess is more important than anything else.
- frustrating feelings everywhere (drama)
- too much build up and then no or bad pay offs
- most of the time boring or average story and plot twists.
I think the good rating is just because this was one of the first novel ever consistently translated and completed. In my opinion this really isn't worth reading, because there are a lot of better novels with similar settings out there.
