Description

Growth cheats? Infinite magic power? The ability to utilize all archetypes? What’s the point if instant death ends everything with a single attack?

High school senior Yogiri Takatou was on a school field trip when he woke up to a dragon assaulting his sightseeing bus, with the only ones still on the bus being him and his female classmate, the panicking Tomochika Dannoura. Apparently the rest of his classmates had been given special powers by Sion, a woman who introduced herself as Sage, and escaped from the dragon, leaving those that hadn’t received any special powers behind as dragon bait.

And so Yogiri was thrown into a parallel universe full of danger, with no idea of what just happened. Likewise, Sion had no way of knowing just what kind of being she had summoned to her world.

This webnovel caught me by surprise more than once. To quote some Syosetu reviews, a good way of describing it would be "different from your usual isekai stories and, more importantly, different from the 'different' isekai stories."

Instant Death follows an overpowered MC's adventure through a different world while placing a focus on the world's reactions to that MC's actions. The author doesn't shy away from remodeling several chapters worth of world building at the whim of his characters, which works perfectly with his story.

The practical stuff:
＊ I was turned... more>> off by a couple plot holes at the start, but the author managed to fill more than I expected. Not all of them, however.
＊ The whole 'side-characters challenging certain death' shtick gets boring after a while. The story moves away from relying on it for its major plot points, but at times the in-world explanation for it hardly justifies the characters' conduct.
＊ Some of its scenes easily rank among the best I've seen in web and light novels. Think the Go match in Dungeon Defense and Overlord spoiler:
Spoiler

Jircniv's visit to Nazarick.

[collapse]
＊ A lot of characters. Maybe you're into that, maybe not. It has a large variety of personalities, but some archetypes are completely untouched. Some interesting powers.
＊ No harem so far, slow but progressing romance
＊ Interesting characters dying out of nowhere, I'm not sure that's something you can get used to.
＊ Steadily moving towards an established goal/end.
＊ Death doesn't have a lot of weight due to the frequent (often gruesome) dying.

Personally Instant Death reminds me of Overlord, namely the way its world tries to cope with something far beyond what it can handle, but your mileage may vary. <<less

Transported to a world full of assholes, the op MC murders anyone who comes after him with bad intentions. A satisfying tale of unforgivable assholes being stomped.

Honestly, the mc's a tool. All the character development goes into showing how much of an asshole the side characters are before stomping all over them. It's actually really satisfying.

However, at c34 the translator changes, and the story becomes a barely readible mess.

TLDR: killing simulator how to kill him before he instant kills you.

This story might seem generic at first, and it probably is, but it's so entertaining and interesting that it ends up being different. Comedy, check. This story certainly has the humor.

... more>> Personally it reminds me more of Kumo Desu ga, Nani ka? With the stupidly op higher ups godlike characters. And of course the my pace kind of MC. Kind of like a mix of that and Konosuba I guess.

I like how MC is so chill with everything. This man has his priorities straight lmao.
Better than the average MCs at least imo. I mean, just look at him on that cover.
I'm gonna enjoy watching him screw over everyone else. <<less

I really feel like the author is high on weed. There is so much stuff mashed up together here; ie. Magic and sword, gundam+transformer, steampunk, beastmen, angle, deity, vampire, demon lord and hero. There also a plenty of Japanese summon in to this fantasy land. The result is very interesting. Wandering how high he must get to piece all these stuff together.

5 stars until further notice.

This is just great. So glad I found it; thought I'd read all the good Japanese novels and the only things left were the average ones.

For starters, the theme of a boy and girl classmates travelling the isekai together is unheard of (probably because the average author prefers a loner self-insert MC, and/or they're just bad at writing the dialogue/interaction).

And the dialogue - the leads are a pair of bokke and tsukkomi and they're just hilarious together. Other characters too, just lines and interactions that are creative, non cliche and... more>> fun to read.

Story-wise, it seems male lead has a power that turns the usual isekai system on its head, again making this a refreshing read. It also subverts the power system put in place by the rulers of the world they're in, so there's your antagonists of the story early on.

So yes, overall, really funny, really well written, refreshing take on the 'transported to another world' genre. I wish I had the whole translated novel to read. <<less

I'm amazed that so many people gave this thing 5 star.

Here's what this really is:

Kid living on earth able to kill people by thought get transported in another world with class cliché. Even though he can feel killing intent even while sleeping he doesn't wake up during introduction because it's coller like this? Also apparently MC has no experience using his powers, about which we learn about together with hin. Then starts the daily life of the MC in new world without trouble because by luck he becomes rich with... more>> sidekick girl by his side. The a week later or so in the story we understand the author has never played an rpg

Spoiler

In this little time one of his classmates, basically a slavemancer managed to reach lvl 10000 in a land where avarage lvl is 20. No matter how many slaves he has, that bullsh*t

[collapse]

In conclusion a random comedy which did not manage to make me laugh, a boring but passable MC (barelly) and lots of sidecharacters whose life exist only to make MC stronger.

Hope you find this useful and don't waste time with this garbage. <<less

Everyone's a psychopath. MC is lazy with no ambition and handed an invincible power at birth. The world has practically no depth to it. Translations as of writing are pretty bad; somewhere along the lines of 25% of a chapter is mostly incomprehensible with 90% of that incomprehensible material being the Tsukkomi's. If translations were improved this would probably be a 2.5 star or so series. Still follow to see the first sage they met wrapped up and then will drop it. Honestly not sure how this series is rated... more>> so high when I can think of several Isekai series I consider much better and are lower rated. <<less

I personally like the fact that MC is OP before transmigration.

Also not a freaking pushover when it come to killing people who want to harm/kill the MC. Or a person who murders anyone when they feel like it.

There also the fact there will be no super harem of any sort.

I really liked the story of volume one. I'm dropping this at chapter volume 2 chapter 15 because the translation quality has been so low that it is barely comprehensible. It really affects the experience even though the flow of the story hasn't changed much.

The first volume is 5 stars in my opinion.

I thought it would just be another "look at me, I'm super stronk" type of sh*t and well... it is. But even with it like that, it is fairly interesting to be honest. The only problem here is that the title itself... Instant Death. There is little to no satisfaction when an irritating antagonist thinks he is all that then just dies without knowing despair. An antagonist's despair after all that arrogance is one of the tastiest part of a story...

... more>>
Spoiler

Well he has the power to make them suffer more before dying. Like KILLING parts of their bodies first or KILLING their fighting capabilities for them to know the glory and power of the MC before he instant death them. BUT HE RARELY DOES THAT. It just goes, BOOM. You're Dead. The antagonist didn't even get to remove those annoying smirks on their faces and just died like that...

[collapse]

Well that is why it is only a ★★★☆☆ and not a ★★★★★. Not enough satisfaction from the antagonist's despair... Too lackluster. <<less

Fun story with an OP main character.

Sadly the Translation Quality drops once Saku stops translating and the series is picked up by Sad Hoovy's (around the end of the first volume)

It's possible the translation quality improves with time, but I'm not getting my hopes up.

Really wish there was a Superior translated version of Volume 2 and onwards, but what are the odds of that if they aren't linked on this website? : (

This is simply okay. The writing isn't terrible, but the story is pretty lacking. In particular, it's missing the ever important "why should I care?" part when it comes to the characters and story. At the beginning, it manages to get by just from the novelty of the MC's super OP ability and him wrecking everyone. But any time that wasn't happening, I felt myself trudging through it.

The MC and heroine are fairly 2D without much depth given to them, and the story and their goals is as superficial as... more>> the stories found in action games. Perhaps the only reason to read this is to see how bad of a trainwreck things can become (as some other reviewers hint at), but I'm not quite seeing it yet.

Maybe it gets better later, but I think I've already given it a fair shot. I personally think this is a clear 3 of 5. It's okay and something to read if you need to kill time, but it's not the type of series where you want to keep reading. <<less

Translations by Saku are 10/10. Understandable, readable and flows naturally. Sad Hoovy's while I appreciate him trying, his translation of the work is a 5/10 at best. Basically boils down to being a pain to read. Like his English sucks and some of the story especially fights don't make sense until it's all over.

Edit: Alright translations got better after awhile 7/10

I give overall 10/10 as it is not too flashy when it comes to the protagonist unique power with his friend being the relief side of that world cruelty with her retorting words and lovely expression.

That is definitely right. Growth cheats? Infinite magic power? The ability to utilize all archetypes? - What's the point it ends quickly in instant death.
It's a unique overkill story which many cheaters have never seen it coming.

Basically without leveling up or flashy moves that others like take minutes or seconds when confronting danger. For... more>> him microsecond then poof all goes to a happy ending.
The real God of Death. Unlike those in other stories which many represent death or having power like that or by fame or being infamous called by the populous.
Our MC here Yogiri Takatou which his last name change different by the summary is the real deal, the real death holder that defines common sense and common logic in that world he is transported. His special power is neither magic which the higher Sages in that world truly believe it is a type of magic they can deal with but unfortunate to them that is not his case as it is mysterious even to him. After all he already got that power before transported into that world.
Call it what you like Esper or Death himself in human form.

The world he is full of Japanese assholes, jerks, bitches, bastards and more relating negative and bad image of them. The Sages, the Japanese have taken the world their priority to protect it from calamities threat like the so called "Aggressors/Invaders" from another dimension including threats to the natives but having their mind and heart warped and twisted that no longer value human lives including their very own Japanese kin whose not granted with Gifts. Seeing the inhabitants as livestocks or a bother.
It is a world where values, moral, faith, friendship and love aren't needed as all stripped away by the Japanese Sages who are more evil and twisted than a demon. <<less

Apparently, BitterCoffee's review is quite misleading. MC couldn't feel the dragon at the beginning because the dragon was horny and not really releasing killing intent, and the dude he said that the level was at 10k was summoned before as a hero and was returned to Japan, basically it's that dude's second time in that world so his level was really high in the beginning. And the max level of normal humans was 99 not 20. Do not believe his review as it seems he just skimmed through chapters and... more>> not really paid any attention to details.

Do not review sh*t, if you can't even pickup details that are laid f**king bare. <<less

This novel is a hidden gem. Both male and female leads are funny and likeable. The other characters have such ridiculous behaviors that it makes the main leads be the ones with the normal mind-set. The plot is entertaining although twisted. A must read for those who like anti-hero protagonists with a comedic undertone kinda story.

At the start I wasn't convinced..

but then it happened; unexpected plot twist, and it happened again!; what the MC did to this world DID MATTER and his actions both make the world MORE INTERESTING and ever penetrate the underlaying plot world, the story that messes with what's truly interesting in the novel!

This guy definetly doesn't saves plot action until marriage.

... more>> The sanctuary of apologetic Japanese or the other nihilistic contradictorial not-even-worth-mentioning mcs... MC is a Guy that completes the abstraction of what is happening to him and makes the result interesting.

depicting an extraordinary and colorful explosive plot ability this novel is made with the best of the author Independent creative ability.

Like going to school and meeting a boy whom maybe at first glance I wouldn't regard very highly but then he proceeds to show how extraordinarily takes he has to make this isekai novel. interesting and a joy to read.

He is the kind of person that reminds me, there's is people who doesn't give up in making something interesting of their lives.

This author wins my full admiration for his way of showing me that things can be made this way.

-I'm very happy to have found this novel, a Novel where MC actions matters in such unexpected ways -.

The worth of this novel is not that things could happen, but that they actually happen.

This story is truly believable, the way the story goes is rational, the Characters are well characterized and it gets better as it progresses.

The comedy element is well placed, it is not an end in itself, but a cool companion trough the journey.

This novel was unexpected. Just what I was looking for; not giving up on isekai novels payd well.

Because this is isekai done well and also a very interesting novel.

Personally, I didn't expect to be this immersed after my initial encounter with anime in middle School; they joy I felt is like the first time I saw dragon Ball on TV.

reading this novel feels like I'm experiencing a uniquely creative, independent and intriguing world again after so much time.

An end in itself. <<less

It's a OP protagonist like one punch man, he's supposed to be flat and have a 'i don't care' attitude they build up villains just to watch them get destroyed by an anto climatic death and that's the fun part about it

Love the novel if u can't tell

I'll be honest, this story is a mess. Its the very definition of WTF. It was a lot of fun though, and I kept reading the next chapter despite the incoherence of the story. The last couple of chapters has been bad though. The translation quality is a big part of it, but it's also due to the plot collapsing under its own weight.

It's a 100% gag novel, so don't even bothered to find the logic behind their actions. I REPEAT; THIS IS A GAG NOVEL.

Just enjoy the absurd situation where our boke (ML) and tsukkomi (FL) are leisurely exploring this isekai (???) full of as$hole. Oh, maybe sometimes killing one or two as$holes who coincidentally were that world's protectors, but it's not really a serious problem, right?
