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.

I love how much the characters are real, how many different points of view there are and without doubt, she gives a lesson on how to make an end for any Japanese author, the story never leaves the motivation of the protagonist (that for the people who find the rudeus horrible, which is to "live" a second life, with all its mundane aspects) about having otakus cliches, let's remember that this was the way MC previously lived.
but the best part of the novel, is the character building, from his father to the cliff.
I just don't understand how people say the ending is good (it's not, it's not even an ending at all)
And I don't understand how people don't just want to beat Rudeus over the head with a baseball bat from beginning to end because of his cruelty. But to explain all of that will require spoilers so here we go.
First of all the ending is Rudeus dies before the main villain is even close to defeated, there is no buildup to the final boss fight its he dies, and in his death he is shown a vision of the future where his descendants have already won. We don't actually get to read anything about how they did it, their journey/adventure to accomplish it at all. It's entirely unsatisfying
So that's why the ending is *** but why is the romance crap too you might ask? Well its simple really Rudeus is a cruel heartless bastard to anyone not one of his 3 wives but is also a love interest. He intentionally excludes any possible addition to his harem in a terrible way.
The easiest example is Aisha who was raised for the sole purpose of serving Rudeus. Ignore the ethics/morality of that to pay attention to the fact that this girl is incredibly smart and at first does not want Rudeus but eventually grows to love him, and at every turn she is shoved away her affection rebuffed.
It is never resolved, it actually causes a rift in the family because she wants him, but he only has eyes for 3 women and refuses the idea of a 4th even though Aisha was around from decently early on in the story.
There is even an extremely controversial short story related to Aisha's love life that the author had to scrap because it was universally hated. And that's just one of the potiential love interests that is handled terribly and cruelly.
If you ignore the awful half-hearted harem (its one example where more harem would have been better) and the s**t ending where the MC dies before his loved ones who then have to survive decades without him because their lifespans are much longer (like seriously there was no way to increase his lifespan???)
You would find that everything else is really quite good, I just feel like these are very huge negatives that definitely detract from the rest of the story.
Also Badigadi is an extremely contrived antagonist that is just super contradictory, he's helping Hitogami who tricked him into splitting a good guy, creating 1 bad guy (Demon God) and 1 neutral guy (Technique God) and also killing his own wife. Even knowing that Hitogami is evil, even telling others not to trust him, he still decides to help him, even forgetting about his own wife and everything... wtf?
Rifujin na Magonote the author says repeatedly that while he intends to write a short story set 80 years in the future it isn't a sequel and he has no intention of ever writing a sequel. Check his tweets for proof. He also stated that this short story isn't going to have anything to do with any of the main characters of Jobless Reincarnation. And he isn't going to write it until the anime is finished. So what we've got is it folks, don't polish the turd in your head because of future hope from a nonexistent never coming sequel. It had great potential. Hopefully the anime does a lot better than the novel.
