Twenty-three years old.

I had just completed my military service and was on a bus home when I fell asleep and was involved in a car accident.

“Damn it.”

And then I was reincarnated.

But what the hell did I do to deserve being reincarnated as a demon?

“Save the human.”

But they want me to be a Demon King?

Content Warning: Read the tags. Yes, there is non-con content. It's all done by the MC.

Also unfortunately, while the seggs scenes are great, they don't happen all that frequently. Heck, MC doesn't get to a home run until 100 or so chapters in.

Also, also, the author has an annoying habit of skipping seggs scenes. Like, for example, in chapter 120+ ... more>>
Spoiler

the MC has captured two nuns and a female knight into his dungeon, and the MC is shown to sexually assault the knight and one nun, BUT ANNOYINGLY SKIPS THE OTHER NUN!!!

[collapse]

So anyway! The story has quite a rough start. And I'm not just talking about the 14 chapters we spend in the demon world where MC basically has a pity party for his transmigration not coming with a knowledge package. I mean, he isn't idle. He does his best to understand an unknown language and magic despite having no talent for it, but the author displayed just how poorly he is perceived by the other demons because he is "weak." And after all that, we spend another 15 or so chapters where MC does hardcore survival; he digs a pit for a home, scavenges fruit, gets his first followers, hunts some goblins and kobold, gets invaded by some monsters, etc.

Personally, I say you can skim everything until best girl, Sharan (a dryad), starts following him out of curiosity. That's when the story finally gets some speed. She gets introduced at chapter 25, but there's a few more chapters before she officially joins their group.

The annoying thing is, now that I'm thinking about it, the author made it so that the MC gets the quickest and largest power ups by having seggs. But the thing is, we spent 100 chapters dicking around in the forest before he starts having consensual seggs with his followers. So honestly! The plot doesn't get any steam until then! I mean, there's a war between demon world and heaven going on, which feels like it should be the MAIN plot, but no! That's in the background up until the MC finally figures out his cheat.

Don't get me wrong. It's a good read, and the flow of the story/translation reads smoothly. I recommend just getting a text-to-speech app and have it playing on the background while doing something else like playing video games, driving, commuting, etc. Eventually, the story will get you hooked enough that you'd want to readit yourself without the app.

I personally rate this 4/5 stars-ish. The reason I gave it a 5/5 is, if you pay attention, there seems to be a dedicated group or shizo that's giving harem stories a 1/5 rating. <<less

Judging from the other reviews, im not alone in struggling to get through the early chapters. This story reads like a jp novel from the 2010s. the MC talks to himself and his animal/monster companions communicate back in onomatopoeia and body language. The seriess has an [adult] tag but the adult content is extremely lacking. Most of the early story is slow, slice of live survival in the jungle. But judging by the tags.... things must get rather crazy later on.

but maybe thats the theme the author is going for.... more>> The MC reincarnates as a demon and his past life memories actually hamper his development rather than aid him in his rise. being unable to communicate with others seems to be a big theme in this story. He has to learn from scratch and is often plagued by misunderstandings due to his previous life's memories. It makes him come off as a little unhinged and out of place. a true 'fish out of water' story. <<less

Translation seems decent, good work, TL, and my hat’s off to your patience.

this MC might as well be a whiny crybaby 10yo boy instead of a reincarnated sergeant. Can’t stand him and his exclamation points every 1-4 sentences. The only two background characters as of how far I’ve read could be fine and do raise my curiosity, but I just can’t with this annoying MC. Luke Skywalker wanting to go to the mallToshi Station’s got nothin’ on this.

maybe other readers think it’s funny and maybe it’s hilarious in the original... more>> Korean but I just cannot. <<less

So far this is a fairly mid-tier novel for me. I like the setting and sub-characters that have been introduced so far, but the MC is just so insufferably whiny. It's seriously annoying.
Spoiler

It seems there's some sort of tradition where periodically, each big family in hell has to send one of their own to the human world as some sort of ritual, and while MC is a non-contributing weakling POS, he's still of a high class breed so it was decided that he would be the sacrifice this time around. As soon as he was informed of this, MC started weeping and begging to get out of it. Like bro, you don't even know what the human realm is like. At the very least, if you stop to think about it for half a second, his chances as a former human with human-like sensibilities would be better than how he's been doing in the demon realm (not well). Anyway, from that point onwards, any time MC runs into a demon that doesn't treat him with disdain for his extreme weakness (there have only been 2 so far excluding his mother that informed him about his upcoming vacation), he immediately starts crying and clinging to their ankles in an attempt to garner sympathy, begging them to save him.

[collapse]

I understand that the demon realm stuff most likely functions as a sort of prologue before the human realm stuff makes up the meat of the story and it's very possible that it gets better from that point onwards, but the MC's obnoxiousness is making getting to that point very difficult.

Very good, much better than I expected. The reviews below are a bit misleading and quite biased... as most novelupdates readers do, if you can't ignore your moral values, then you shouldn't even read fantasy stories. I'm not going to say the good points, but rather counter the negative points found in the other comments. This is another world with another culture, people from 300 years ago at 20 years old could very well be the equivalent of a 10 year old child in the 21st century in terms of... more>> mentality, besides the girls the MC gets involved with are monsters, they're not even "people", unless you see them as humans everything will work out, basically a female meets a male and they copulate and that's it, they're not human and that doesn't seem like pe*ophelia after all, it's more like two teenagers getting along well getting to know each other and going to make snu snu, in short two female to male animals meet and feel attracted to each other and that was basically it, it's a serious mistake to see them as humans, just enjoy it damn it. MC is a child, the common sense of the earth and the demonic world is so different that in fact he could actually be a child since his mentality is very human, and he only learns to speak at the age of 8, becoming fluent at 9 years without any help, that's why it took him so long, his mother sends him to the human world because he is very weak and she doesn't want to sacrifice the strongest, a detail that he is not yet 10 years old and has only recently learned to speak, so sending him to the human world is the same as sending him to his death, the story is very good from then on. <<less

This story is so funny (and wholesome later) that I have to log account to write comment. All 20 chaps beginning is kinda sus and slow pace so yeah, dont bother much with it. After that the story is slowly getting good and you know, "teach your wife since she is young" thing is 1 of my fav of all time. Thanks tran + edit for this story.

Psst: my advice: just take your brain of when read those begining chapters.

Rough start, but once you make it to the part where the MC is forced out of the demon world, the story starts to take off.

Nothing special, but I’m a sucker for any decent survival story. Sure the magic cheapens the accomplishment, but it’s used to speed up the pacing rather than *boom* watch a house appear. I also think a smaller cast helps bad writers really excel and focus on developing the plot and the characters.

Some ecchi parts, but I’m optimistic that the plot with carry this story.

I give it 3 stars. From the beginning it started out slow and easy to read. MC was likeable and smart.
Spoiler

I just don't like how s*xual it gets with every female character. They're beautiful, busty and have the intelligence of a 4 yr old. They may be female monsters but the male lead won't have s*x with them because of their pure innocence. Doesn't stop himself from doing other things to them.
