BOI did you even read the thing or is your memory retention low? the reason he even cared for the orphans in the first place is because he misses his family from his previous life, like thats a very good reason for the isekai trope but you seem to gloss over that fact, did you overdose on generic trash isekai that you forget the chapter you just read after only a minute or something???This is one of the problems with modern Isekai stories: they often have the Isekai part happen at the beginning and then NEVER bring it up again, which makes you question why such a detail needed to exist in the story in the first place.
As much as I like this story, it also falls into this same category, in that the MC could be from this world and basically nothing would change. Well, aside from the whole "this is what would have happened if the MC didn't get isekai'd into this world" side/extra story, but even that could technically be handwaved as well without needing the Isekai.
That detail isn't isekai specific. Like I said, the guy could have come from this world and the story would basically be the same. He could still have his family die and miss them. It's not something that needs isekai to work.BOI did you even read the thing or is your memory retention low? the reason he even cared for the orphans in the first place is because he misses his family from his previous life, like thats a very good reason for the isekai trope but you seem to gloss over that fact, did you overdose on generic trash isekai that you forget the chapter you just read after only a minute or something???
Dont tell me they actually got raped… please tell that all of that was just a future that would have happened if he didnt save them…
Game overlords sent Grey to fix the s%!# they made.Oh so she died in the OG timeline.
Also it seems like the game have quite a plot of having MC as not the chosen hero right? Since Isuka fight Aless in the OG timeline and it must have been revenge for Ariamel.
So it's like not your typical fantasy game i think
surrogate
Fucking up is understating the gravity of Grey's action tho. And he does all this completely unaware that he already ruin the game's starting point and Isuka's motivation in theWhat Ariamel dreamt was basically the life she would've had if Gray didn't mess up the OG timeline. The Original timeline goes like this:
- Ariamel and the kids are living happily, albeit in poor conditions
- they are kidnapped and taken and sold to slavers (and brutalized in the process)
- Ariamel is bought by the church and abused by the perverted knight
- At this point, it's uncertain what happened to all of the children, though it's implied that Fio and some others died
- Also uncertain as to how, but Isuka escapes and goes on a hunt to find their friends
- Ariamel is found to be a saintess, and everything is flipped; she's being treated nicely all of the sudden
- This makes her snap, goes absolutely bonkers and curses everyone, before committing suicide (stabs herself)
- Sometime later Isuka (the protagonist of the game) gets in the church, goes wild and massacres everyone after finding out that Ariamel is dead. Blames the 'Hero' aka Alles aka Ares in the LN. (this is the small panel where Isuka is all bloodied and on the verge of killing the Hero, couple of chapters ago iirc).
This is the game's storyline, where the protagonist goes on a dark path for revenge. All of this would've happened beat by beat but Gray killed the Spiders, who were the guys that were going to take the children and sell them to the slavers. By taking the Spiders out, Gray fucks up the OG timeline and we're now getting this really wholesome surrogate family story path.
The LN hints that more infodump about the OG timeline (as well as Nina and Stella's background) is coming, but it's yet to be revealed.
Based on the not-exactly-bright story - Fio x, Aramiel x, Nina x - 99%, so ... those basically are the blondes.Daddee shwich
Now that you say it, I do recall that being a point in the beginning. I must have gotten mixed up with all of the other isekai out there and assumed that the MC must have known about the story. But I guess all of the "original story" stuff has all just been in side chapters or dreams and was never brought up by the MC himself.Except Grey doesn't know anything about the setting. As he says in the first couple pages of chapter 1, all he knows is the default name of the MC and what amounts to a back of the box story knowledge. He also mentions a couple times throughout that he isn't even sure if the kids are related to the game or not.
Moreover he hasn't done anything foreknowledge-y, he killed the bandit group because they were creeping on the kids and he doesn't like leaving loose ends, and he got a warning about the hero's party from the Valkyries telling him they were coming and the inn keeper mentioning they were looking for the older girl.

Dark JRPGs? Hmmm, I'm def not an expert, but there was that game... ... ... Fuck. Now I'm traumatized again.The original game setting was more brutal than i thought….
Also do these JRPGs with all kind of twists and dark background that isekai authors cooked up actually exist ?
Cuz i never seen actual jrpgs or just games with backstories like these , Game makers should look into hiring LN writters to do their games cuz holy shit new jp games nowaday are vanilla and stale as shit
She's safe now, but if she's getting married, I'll drop because 100% sure this author loves USAGI DROP.Ariamel is too precious. She needs to be protected.
I think Nina died of starvation ... I want to think of it that way. Isuca is the only one that escaped so ....Dont tell me they actually got raped… please tell that all of that was just a future that would have happened if he didnt save them…
“Really wholesome surrogate family story path” untill it goes the Usagi Drop and if its for my daughter I would even defeat the Demon Lord route of having him marry one of the daughters…What Ariamel dreamt was basically the life she would've had if Gray didn't mess up the OG timeline.
