Description
Links are NOT allowed. Format your description nicely so people can easily read them. Please use proper spacing and paragraphs.The second son of the Count family, Tullius Shernan Oubeniel, was a person who reincarnated from modern day Japan. That is, a person who has a single experience of death. With no understanding as to how he was reincarnated, he thought that perhaps, he might be reincarnated next time in the same way. Yet, his fear of death was greater than anything – above that, he could only do things such that he avoids death. Peculiar to this world were certain kinds of magic and one of them was alchemy. Choosing this class of magic, he was said to be able to attain perpetual youth and longevity. With that as his only salvation and goal, he had to reach out his hand towards the deepest secrets of alchemy and did so as though it was the only way for him to live. Even if there were sacrifices to be made for that end.
A s*ave maid admired him from his youth. A Count family. Adventurer. s*ave. Citizen. Aristocrat. Country. Humans. Other beings that were not human…… Just because of one man’s delusional obsessions, many lives were changed, warped, torn apart. Even then, Tullius’s footsteps never knew pause. Everything was so that he could reach the forever he longed for.

a reincarnated boy who has no qualms about buying s*aves, disecting them, watching them slowly die in agony, messing with the brain of his s*aves to mess with their soul later.
Someone who's willing to do anything for the sake of his research.
Her biggest wish was to have his master to do a brain surgery, and turns her into a completely obedient s*ave, willing to do anything to serve his master..... which his master really done to her later, per her request and his wish.
Of course, she was so ecstatic to prove her allegiance to his master by joyfully volunteering herself
Here I will explain why you will experience this scenario if you read this novel, Ouroboros. The story kicks off with a promising setting - a guy is reincarnated in another world as a child, and he wants to achieve immortality at any cost. No cheating abilities, no ideal circumstances, just a common world with magic versus his cunning. Sounds good, right? However, except the initial idea and political setup, Ouroboros lacks in many other important aspects. WARNING: minor spoilers ahead, as I have to go in at least some details to explain how bad this novel is.
For starters, it's said that alchemy is frowned upon because magic is more than enough for people. But shortly after that, the MC does the thing that is arduous even with magic, when he had only a meager amount of resources. After this, do you still believe that the area which is THAT useful can be regarded as something unwanted? I don't.
The manner in which the MC advances in the alchemy deserves a separate passage:
Overlord - I'm one of the mightiest beings because I'm a goddamn lich with a tomb full of top-tier monsters.
Reverend Insanity - I can accumulate strength incredibly fast because I have 500 years of experience in this world from my previous life.
Ouroboros - I can discover things in alchemy that the whole world was unaware of because f**k you, that's why.
Besides, except that he's from Japan of the 21st century, there's NO information about his background at all. Does living in Japan make you a prodigy able to do scientific breakthroughs like a piece of cake? Nope.
Talking about his subordinates, it seems like he has stumbled not on just a jackpot, but upon a bloody lake of black swans.
Still want to give it a try?
The dialogues are sometimes so bad that you will have to scroll a full screen back to read the question because the answer was given after three paragraphs of setting explanation.
The atmosphere of the moment, especially in fights, is screwed up regularly. Yeah, let's listen to a child speaking a philosophical pitch in mid-battle, which is so long that even if Eminem had read it full-speed, the whole group would've been decimated before he ends it.
Also, I didn't mention the constant disregard of the "Show don't tell" rule together with the power level problems, when it inflates so ridiculously fast and so high that you have not even a single clue what the hell will be happening on later stages as we didn't even go past the middle of the story.
... and still Ouroboros gets 4.6 out of 5. I truly don't understand why it is rated higher than Reverend Insanity while having all those defects.
If you want a ruthless and rational MC in a story which doesn't have almost any of the problems above, read Reverend Insanity. Don't waste your time on Ouroboros - you will be severely disappointed.
The character in this story "died" before, which more or less.... made him want not to die again. This he attempts to achieve trough the ability they call "alchemy" which is pretty much scoffed at, but better than it seems.
The character himself, is the "mad scientist" type, which attempts to gain immortality trough practicing alchemy, which he does by using s*aves as experimental objects... to acquire and dispose of them he does use s*aves as well, while he especially favors the first s*ave ever bought.
Sadly he was to spooked by what happened. He cannot even trust this s*ave, that cares about him extremly, until he was able to fully mindcontrol her.
The interesting part of this story is, that instead of the selfish type of idiot that does more harm than good often (well if he does something on his own.... without bullsh*t luck happening) this character actually has goals one can understand to a certain degree and does not have the absolute extreme advantage other protagonists have... (like revolutionating the agricultural, economical and other aspects without having prior dealings with those before.... though he most likely will push the medical knowledge of the world forward by a lot after a while (be it to make money or because he died and his notes were distributed to alchemists..... a true tragedy would be if they had simply burn all his work...))
Naturally many may find such a character repulsive and would wish him the worst, but I honestly don't. I would rather have many of those hero's killed that save the world by luck (and would have done far more harm than not without the luck) than him. He is a relatable character with an actual motive that is not a shirt chasing bit*h that simply saves the world cause yeah laughs and luls but simply does his thing and most likely will do more good than harmtrough it for the entirety of his "race". (though one could discuss how bad it would be for the environment and monsters if adventurers live longer and the demand for goods of them rises and if certain necessities [if there are any] are not possible to gain again, though keeping them like "pets" may work.... though I wouldn't want that for them.... oh well I have been going on about a lot of cut up thoughts and not fully explained stuff that I could have left away... but hey whatever. I just typed that thing already so it will stay.)
That star I have taken away is actually for it moving a bit faster than I had like and him practicing something that is more powerful than many believe... just hated the cliché always did.... xD

Only 3 chapters translated at this timebut off to a great start. No information given about the protagonist's previous life in Japan, but dying really spooked him and he ends up as a straight up Dr. Mengele style amoral character in his new life. He attempts to obtain immortality through alchemy with the mentality of 's*aves don't have rights so nothing wrong with using them as test subjects until they die horribly from one of my experiments'. Some of the story is told through side characters giving testimonies to a... more>>
