Fukushuu o Koinegau Saikyou Yuusha wa, Yami no Chikara de Senmetsu Musou Suru - Ch. 144

[saxmanthefirst]

That ending was satisfying to watch.

 

[w3searcher]

IIRC, the captain of the knights (that Raoul is training to join) was a cannibal who murdered and partially consumed Raoul's mother.

I do not remember what chapter.

Thank you for the reminder

 

[xabe]

Im getting this out of my arse but, after seeing the last god that was sent to mess with raoul in one or two chapters ago. I think she is changing part of the past.

 

[theshet]

What is this actually doing for the story at this point?

 

[Dingusthe1st]

Told you he Epstein

 

[UncleKaos]

Good. he deserved to die. to diddy kids.. disgusting.

 

[SuperRobotSolo]

Could it be that Raoul was never the Hero to begin with, but because of Vicky's interference, he was given the title?

 

[Niskara]

Given the kid’s reputation, I wouldn’t have touched him or even dared threaten him. Bro has no sense of preservation.

At the bare minimum, I'd make sure to be nice to him. Or at least polite. Be as little antagonistic towards him as I feasibly can

 

[cybeast21]

Bro think too far ahead when in reality it's just horny

 

[Buttlus]

No more Yaoi hands upon him.

"wow this young boy seems to have some blessing where anyone who tries to harm him suddenly dies horribly. i should try raping him!" how tf is this country still around when all the royalty and nobility are just hedonistic dumbasses?

 

[S0LUS]

"oh, he doesn't want me, he wants this scary invisible thing that keeps killing anything that so much as looks at me sideways, all for the sake of politics, this is bad...
[...]
oh, he really does want me (in a way), doesn't give a fuck about politics, & doesn't even seem to know about the scary invisible thing that keeps killing anything that so much as looks at me sideways, does he? welp okay bye i guess mr. pedo" lol

 

[MadScientist666]

Every time I think that this story's characters can't get anylower, I am proven wrong...

 

[Blaster746]

All things considered... Victoria had the potential to become a very good ruler unlike the rest of her family.

I'm starting to think that the gods actually had a hand in the corruption of key figures so they could instill chaos in a way that benefitted their idea of "entertainment".
=> They targeted Victoria because her purity made her an adorable plaything.

I'm really looking forward to the end of the flashback !

Once Raoul catches wind of this, he's going to flip 1000 times over ! Imagine hating someone... Tormenting that someone because you know she has been the main cause of your suffering for quite some time...
=> Only for you to learn that you still haven't scratched the root cause of your vengeance ? Ooh boy.

 

[Orenoname]

Damn, no wonder Vicky turned out incredibly fucked up. Raoul just gotta start it all over man, reset the whole damn plane of existence.

 

[Geologic1432]

At this point every character in this story is raped and a rapist
Anyway why was this one the most descriptive

 

[Geologic1432]

Could it be that Raoul was never the Hero to begin with, but because of Vicky's interference, he was given the title?

dude he is literally reincarnated and got the blessing of the goddess of love, this is isekai, remember? lol

 

[Lightbrand]

I just realized, prior to the childhood flashback arc, we strictly followed Raul POV and it seemed like he's some sort of reincarnator chosen by the Goddess in chapter 1 where he returns to her after death and retains memory and power and shit and aired his grievances.

Now we have Vicky's POV where we see Raul speaking not like a child his age, knowing how to handle power struggle and corruption in the court and such.

And this chapter we see Raul's inner thought bubbles and it's confusing because he's definitely not thinking like an reincarnator before the prince but it's also definitely not a child's thought either.

So what's his deal?

 

[lenovoaxioo]

Is raul being apprentice knight, have this kind of thing done to him, or even have some friendship with the princess when they are small ever being foreshadowed in the earlier chapter. I have skipped quite a lot of chapters since the initial revenge arc and only sometimes come to read again.

I have always though he is someone from some village, got picked up to be a hero (not in his childhood) by the kingdom then suffer and die from being exploited by pretty much everyone.

 

[jojoka]

I mean tbh author has done a rather excellent job on the Victoria backstory. Idk what it is but this doesn't feel contrived... I don't feel like rolling my eyes when I read it.

So narratively, nice work author. But also are we there yet? I think I got it, she was corrupted by a god.

Then again this is about par for the course for self-indulgent revengeslop. idfk why im even critiquing ts.

It's because it's just another example of the world building that literally all of the gods are fucking evil corruptors. It's like Warhammer, something as innocent as a little girls childhood crush got warped into turning her into a tool to become a calamity for the god's whims.
It pretty much shows that, yes, the gods need to go and Raoul is justified in killing them all.

I do think however if he instantly turns around on Vicky after learning this backstory it would be out of character. I feel like he may think, ok she's not the problem the gods are ill focus on that. Then not think too much of her outside of being a tool.
