This is going to be a bit of an odd series. There is debauchery, and some off vibes from the playboy MC. I wonder how it'll play out long term.

I'm glad I'm not alone in seeing it as a whole bunch of word salad that did not improve no matter how many times I started from the beginning.

This work is Very cool I'm going to read the novel and wait for the anime
To be announced.

If you want a spoilery idea of what this is about,

Spoiler: Spoiler

The main guy has super strength but loses that strength without the sun shining on him, so he can no longer make a living adventuring the dungeons. He is a GOOD man despite the impressions given at the start of the manga.

A very seinen story with very interesting ideas and directions taken.

He's not so much a good man as he is one that tries to do right by the people who matter to him even if that sometimes means doing some objectively terrible things.

Judging him by the standards of the world he lives in, I'd still argue he's overall a good man.

Couldnt stomach it past chapter 11 tbh.

Spoiler

when he killed the adventure's guild appraiser Vanessa just to not expose the secret of his "queen" Arwin being a drug addict, frames it on her boyfriend (who was a drug dealer to be fair, but almost a friend to him as well) that he previously killed, and ALSO using said drugs to secretly feed them to Arwin to curb her drug addiction....I just felt way too icky about it. I thought he would use his skills to seduce her and bang her to stop her from exposing Arwin. I feel like that would achieve the same result without having to literally fuck over the whole town and betray his friends that were also friends with Vanessa... Seriously, though justice for Vanessa

I guess thats why it didnt go past chapter 15. Audience didnt fw this.

But credit due to the author cus this is legit a dark fantasy manga that is grey, but isnt edgy for the sake of being edgy like most if not all isekai slop tend to be.

jokes on you
surprisingly, there's a sequel
it's all only an introduction, I guess

.

Spoiler: Ironically

Case about Vanessa will keep become one anchor for future story later on. You can look on sequel about that, and latest volume will look into her case again.

But tbh, i'm also feel irk and this series truly give bitter taste when read it.

Introduction, probably

Spoiler: But

looks on this character that can't escape from responsibility on death of certain appraiser

Would love for this to be released more globally so I could buy it physically to show my support to the author as the story is better than most fantasy manga.


Still, the available 15 chapters acts more like a prologue more than anything and would love to see what the anime can offer if it does release. Hopefully the animation is good enough so people in the net could hype it up.

Today I learnt about both the sequel AND the anime. Very pleased as Matthew deserves to be seen by so many more.
