Discretion is advised ... But not for violence or strong lenguage, but because you're gonna HATE a lot of characters, so i recommend have a tea, a cigarette or anything that can cover your mouth 'cause you're going to insult a lot.

Actually there aren't many chapters, and the synopsis tells you almost everything: The MC dies, some god show up (who makes a mistake taking away his little fortune), the MC reincarnates in a place where he is victim of inhuman experiments, dies again, the f*king god forces him to reincarnates ... The MC continues with is less and less luck, but this time determined ... to survive and take revenge of this god.

The art sometimes is good and detailed, and sometimes is loose, not the best. But really knows how to get you stuck in the story and make you feel sorry about the MC.

The characters ... Almost everyone are selfish and disgusting, but not all of them, there's still hope !.

About the enjoyment ... You sure gonna "feel" something, hate, pity, satisfaction.


In brief, i recommend this story 'cause although it looks like the typical isekai of revenge it isn't entirely correct, i can assure you're gonna "fell something". Give it a try !.

Great story with not-too-OP MC, inspiring art, ok world and beautiful women. But im 100% its going to change

World:
This is slow-paced isekai where character starts as a baby in medieval-fantasy world with many races and demihumans.

MC:
The fact that MC didnt quickly became 10 or 20 years old and is still a child instead, is a plus.
MC has cool and somewhat unique powers. Although he became too OP with time, it was masked somewhat and it took some time as well. MC being OP is common issue for isekais so if this manga suddenly became bad it wouldnt be weird. But it could be worse.
Also ... there are inconsistencies with his power.

Other characters:
Unfortunately side characters are poorly thought, theyre just filler and made as poorly as possible. Except for women. Actually only women are displayed somewhat ok and get some developments. But even women are not completely distinct, they dont have rich personalities either.

Story:
Story is very good actually. at least above most isekais


Summary:
although im giving this story a 10, thats due to the enjoyment i felt.
HOWEVER i feel this manga is becoming like popular slime isekai, and shares the same issues:
- stupidly op mc with god's powers
- no strategy, no smart tricks or wisdom, just OPness
- training is showed but theres not much thought put into it and the intensity is small, so even though MC is OP like naruto was at the end of shippudens, they didnt really show the effort and smart training methods to get there
- everyone loves MC to the point where its annoying
- all characters except MC are filler
- MC has 100 waifus that want to marry him
- MC doesnt ever face any danger and any threats are deleted in few seconds

I like fantasy but i dont like poorly thought nonsense, thats why im afraid this manga will only get worse from now on. But it was a pleasant read so far!

A different kind of vampire manga - of course I have to read it!

Our protagonist has a bad life. He dies in a catastrophe, a god gives all victims the choice: be reborn with their memories and OP abilities in a sci-fi fantasy world or without both in their old one? Since our protagonist had such a bad life, he is supposed to get especially strong abilities - only somehow there is suddenly a copy of him, which gets them instead. The god is accordingly surprised when he is left and can't really do anything because that would be against the rules. To make him ... less angry, he gives him infinite mana, but warns him that this will make him a target and he won't live a good life - and how right he was! A cruel, brutal life he must lead as a guinea pig....

My biggest complaint - and at the same time the strength of the manga - is definitely the long introduction, which is not over even after my description above. It is simply too long for me to write more here without spoiling. This makes it admittedly quite lengthy, but at the same time it builds a fantastic base through which we can well understand why our character acts the way he does. The atrocities from the introduction, which we witness in detail, only make later events special and more significant.
Honestly, you have to sit through it with clenched teeth, because it is cruel, brutal, gloomy and sad. Which doesn't fit with the rest of the story at all - admittedly, this isn't a children's story later on either, but people who found the introduction charming will have trouble finding enjoyment in the rest of the story and vice versa. My only advice is: Grit your teeth, because it gets really fantastic later on.

Speaking of later, so from here on I'd like to review after the introduction, so spoiler warning for the complete introduction. After being so brutally mistreated all these years, he finally dies - but with his death magic he can revive himself, saves other lab rats like him and kills his tormentors! But when he reaches the exit, he meets his old schoolmates - who neither recognize him nor know what happened and so murder him from behind. Afterwards he wakes up pissed at the god, who sends him to a next world with really stupid comments. There he wakes up as a dhampir for the first time with a loving mother - who is killed not even a year after his birth, after all the witch gave birth to a dhampir! He wants to take revenge - but the ghost of his mother and God's curses prevent him from doing so...

Here the story really begins and again it is rather lengthy - in this case not meant as criticism, but much more as praise, because here the story is told in detail, the world and characters are shown from all sides and so you read a story that you can completely understand, follow and celebrate.
This is a true masterpiece from the author, who manages to show the world, characters and story in a concise and detailed way without ever getting bored.

If I had to sum up the experience, especially from the later chapters, it would probably be an adult, more brutal, darker and more serious version of "That time i got reincarnated as a slime".

The only criticism would be the god who revives the protagonist. He is the only character, the only aspect of the entire manga that you absolutely can't figure out. Unlike other things that it's clear will simply be dealt with at a later date, he just seems demented and this explanation - or lack of any explanation for his actions - is frustrating as hell.
