If I have to give credit to one thing, its that the premise of this story is at least original compared to its other isekai counterparts. Dude gets shoved into an unreasonable situation and is understandably upset about it. However there are a host of problems that make me heavily dislike it. This review isn't going to be particularly organized, just a collection of things I noticed or disliked about the manga.
One thing that immediately stood out in this is how unreasonable the MC is. Even from the get go, he kills his
...
entire team right before the final boss, with his only explanation being "he was pissed off". Granted, he was taking abuse from them for 10 years but straight up murdering all of them doesn't seem reasonable. This stops even being a concern later on as it just becomes standard for the MC to just mow people down unquestioningly.
The antagonistic part is also something that I feel like could have been more interesting. In this story our MC is more akin to a psychopathic antagonist who takes pleasure in harming those below him. Its obvious that we aren't supposed to like the MC as he's a jackass with a humongous ego who enjoys killing. I don't particularly enjoy this style of character but there are fans of it. Personally I feel like the amount of punching down is too excessive for me to enjoy any sort of primal satisfaction from seeing people getting their faces melted off.
The MC is also incredibly obtuse and stupid but not in a way that makes sense. It's not even funny how dumb this guy is. Within the world he is considered to be a super genius with his intelligence status being SS. However when it comes to basic social situations or even understanding why he keeps failing it seems like he has the brain capacity of a rotten vegetable. He fails to go back to earth because he has a terrible personality and bad reputation. I understand that its for comedic affect and to stretch out the series but when it happens twice in a row, it becomes significantly less humorous and more forced. The fact that it happens more than 6 or 7 times is frustrating because the characters intelligence is being directly contradicted by the actions they take within the story.
Another aspect that I could not understand is that his skills stay between deaths. I understand why they do, as its explained, I just cannot understand why the God or teachers attempt to do anything about it. Its clearly unbalanced and is one of the roots as to why the MC can't graduate. The world building in general is quite weak along with the plot becoming non-coherent at the start of the MC's 6th return. In later chapters the world building does improve but as its so retroactive it feels forced.
One minor factor I would consider important is the art. While I appreciate that the style is much more unique than the average manhua, scenes trying to depict the MC as badass or scary come off incredibly cheesy and cringy. Action scenes also felt like they had very little impact, partially because of the massive scale that some fights have, but mostly because of the artists unwillingness to draw brutal or gorey imagery. I'm not a massive fan of gore but I feel like some of the scenes where the MC blows apart an army or dissolves someone lack any sort of impact because of how soft some of the art work can be. This isn't to disparage the art works well in non combat scenes but the action focused parts of the series feel very lack luster.
Obviously this manhua isn't for me but if you are looking for a sadistic story that you can just turn your brain off this one could be it. However, I cannot find anything particularly worthy of praise in this manhua as it heavily relies on the subversion of tropes as its entire identity.
tl:dr MC is a dumb poo poo head, I don't like him, bad plot, bad world building, overreliance on subverting tropes, if you just want a casual read it could probably work

An overreliance on typical reincarnation tropes with no flavor to it. Wals has a personality, its just not a terribly interesting one. He's also ridiculously strong in all of the generic way, with no signature skill or ability. Wals also doesn't seem to have flaws as per usual of these types of stories. His relationship with the princess is forced but they immediately accept each other and by the 17th chapter seem like old friends despite meeting a few weeks ago at best. The slave tribe that Wals is born is poorly thought out, the princess's worries are almost meaningless, and the central conflict isn't
...
that interesting. The magic system isn't explained well and neither is the slave system. Despite the title being about slaves, the manga doesn't seem to be interested in portraying any sort of mature themes about it, it just looks at slavery and goes "that's cool but what if our main character just happened to not care about it". The author tries to write background characters being mean to Wals, but it happens about 2 times before it becomes obvious that nothing is really going to be expanded on. Some odd twists occur in the story but to almost all of them I have to ask it any of them were necessary. They just seem like arbitrary story elements slapped on in order to be able to be fit into more categories. A lot of the supporting class are also written as 1 note characters with no depth to them. Over all it has nice but generic art work and that's all I can really praise it for. I hope it improves.

I'm definitely one of those people who like reading dumb trashy isekai and I like stupid out of the box concepts. The problem with this manga is that it feels like I read absolutely nothing after a good 2 hour session of reading. The protagonist has zero personality with a lot of his relationships to other characters feeling very one sided and uninteresting. He willingly takes part in the slave trade in one chapter even commenting "The slaves here are treated nicely" as if that somehow makes up for the fact that it is still slavery. All of his powers are not earned, they are
...
a result of just happening to get blessed by every god there is in the world. None of his fights feel like they have been earned, and there is zero tension in any of them because he has healing that can restore limbs that were cut off, fully recovering any sort of injury, and oh to top it off he can level a kingdom if he felt like it. The result of all of these characteristics feel like a character that unbeatable, both physically, mentally, and morally. He has no flaws, no other character can or will oppose him and I guess the readers are suppose to be in awe of how cool he is? I'm genuinely confused as to what this manga is aiming for. I can't trash the art however as it is pleasing to look at even if the character designs are like looking at "anime person in a fantasy world". I'm not saying it's impossible to enjoy this, but this is definitely one of those mangas that are contributing to the extreme oversaturation of the isekai genre.
TL;DR: decent art, non existant character writing, a non plot. Not something I'd recommend unless you just really want to kill time and are looking for a non committal, light hearted isekai that you could read without thinking.

This is something that honestly would have been better as a hentai doujin. Its clearly got no real story or depth, the main character literally rapes a girl in chapter 3 and its supposed to be cool? The intro is jarring and the main character is such a cardboard cut out of any power fantasy MC. The magic system is poorly explained, the supporting characters have one notable personality trait. If you ever feel bad about yourself just remind yourself that some jurassic age mosquito-brained twig muncher thought this was a good concept. Honest to god, the only thing keeping this from a 1 is
...
the passable art which is generic as hell.

This is one of that manga just that doesn't need to exist. It exists for the sole purpose of getting money, there is no passion or soul in it. The art style is passable, but it's incredibly bland. That's probably the nicest thing I'll say about it. The story and characters rely too much on pre-established tropes and do nothing original. There are so many ass pulls and the typical "misunderstand" trope it gets almost comical. The main character is probably the best character which is laughable considering how shallow he is. The supporting cast is entirely one dimensional. The plot suffers from insane and
...
total tonal whiplash. It goes from daily school life to fucking raping and kidnapping. Even then, the characters don't treat the situation with anywhere near a believable amount of emotion in those events. If your looking for a typical trashy harem manga, I guess this could be for you, but there are so many other manga that do the whole "trashy harem" aspect much better then this.
