When I Thought I Was Reborn, My Family Turned Out to Be a Huge Landmine

Description

Links are NOT allowed. Format your description nicely so people can easily read them. Please use proper spacing and paragraphs.

I finally understood the sense of déjà vu I had felt upon seeing my family’s faces.

A brother who was fond of women, and a sister who took pleasure in the misfortunes of men… These people were characters from a game.

This series started out pretty decent, nothing particularly special, but not something that requires significant willpower to get through, with just a couple of things standing out as unusual for the genre. As it progresses, more information comes to light, with all sorts of foreshadowing and clever story-telling that really sets this one ahead of others. The background of the story that gets slowly revealed is super dark, but it's just a background setting, and the way things are developing, I think it's very likely that, excluding the brief glimpses... more>> of that dark, hopeless background, the tone of the series will continue to be mostly bright and sweet.

In regards to the dark background, at the point I've read up to, there are hints and foreshadowing pretty much right from the start, but since I'm personally not very perceptive, while I noticed the hints, they only formed a complete picture in chapter 9. The reason I think the future developments will probably be a lot brighter is kinda spoilery, so:
Spoiler

Basically, the dark sh*t is related to future events that result in MC's death, and while there was a hidden route in the game this world takes place in that seems to explain that, MC didn't know about that hidden route. Except, he, the heroine, and maybe his sister seem to be having somewhat prophetic dreams about his death, and the heroine seems especially affected by them, so I expect that those dreams will ultimately be the thing that saves him and leads to a happy ending

[collapse]

As for the plot, MC gets reincarnated as a no-name mob in an adult game, but the main heroine seems to treat him a bit nicer than others so maybe she likes him? So far, so standard. The only thing that sets it apart from other similar novels at this point is that MC's older brother and sister happen to be the antagonists of that adult game that, in the setting of the game, drive the player character into despair, so MC has to navigate his love for them as a family (they're extremely loving towards MC to the point of going overboard, and he loves them back the normal sibling amount) and his wariness towards them as people who potentially might do something bad. That by itself is an interesting dynamic that could carry the series by its own merit, except, then the background setting starts to get exposed, and things get a lot more interesting. Anything more than this would be getting into spoiler territory, so you're just gonna have to read it yourself. <<less

Personally, I quite like it. Starts very generic with the 'oh no, I died and now I am in this game' but later is shown an interesting spin on it. Is very short so it never overstays its welcome and with a good ending.

It's not too bad. Mainly 27 chapters and 13 side stories, it gets right to the point of the story and the foreshadowing is pretty fun too.

Spoiler

These are just nitpicks but the game knowledge kind of pointless and the macguffin serve a purpose to let the protagonist know the sister's nasty nature. But it didn't matter anyways?

[collapse]

For me, I enjoyed the story, nothing stands out but it didn't dance around certain issues brought forth by certain characters.

If you are just looking for a straightforward love story, this is one.

GREATEST NOVEL'S I EVER READ.

Like other comments said, from start, this novel give you feeling "another cliche" but after you read more chapter... BOOM! Some twist added!

Although I've already get some idea how this story will going on and (incidentally) read some spoilers in comment, im not really feels down about novel because how good author to execute the story flow.

Spoiler

Sometimes, its make me excited. Sometimes, its make me sad. Sometimes, its make me really depressed. But in the end—

[collapse]

Anway, you really should read this hidden gem. Totally recommended.

It's not the 5 stars everyone else makes it out to be, but nonetheless it's a solid piece. I've read quite of few of the author's other works, and though his writing has definitely gotten better with his more recent works, as one of his older pieces, this work definitely has its share of issues.

I have to praise the author for being able to come up with such interesting premises for all his works, this one included. The problem is execution. Often times there's plot points that are either left... more>> unfinished, unused, or greatly underutilized. This ultimately makes the novel feel somewhat incomplete.

Spoiler

Here are some examples of plot points that aren't really fleshed out. The author keeps throwing in pointless love rival mobs for female MC, Akira, but does nothing with them. There was this interesting idea with the spirit of the previous iteration of the Male MC that was barely utilized. The subplot with the older brother and the cheat girlfriend was never fully fleshed out to completion. Akira's yandere tendencies are alluded to, but never play any plot or real character significance. There's so much more, but I'll leave it at that.

[collapse]

It's a solid, enjoyable story, just wish the author didn't leave so many loose ends and utilize some of the more creative plots points more elegantly. <<less

I'am not rating it, because it would be too subjective and because I didn't read that much, so I'm writing this review as a warning to other people who may have the same taste as I.

First of, the story is somewhat or at least to me too dark.

The family of the MC, his brother and sister are very "tainted" people touched by dark elements, even though they arent "bad people" but for those expecting a light hearted healing story...

You are wrong here,...

I am also wrong here...

Not my taste.
