Damn, never expected /ak/ to have translated a seemingly run-of-the-mill fantasy isekai. This ought to be good.

Looking back on this chapter after we've seen in some more recent chapters...
This "Aoi" girl looks like Rubellia, the red head adventurer and Mayumi shares some physical traits with Kanami, the vampire girl.

… Well, this is one way to start a story. I really wanted to see what seems like an awesome prequel story, but isekai’d gobbu works too.

Interesting start. I wonder how this will all tie in to Re:Zero and Monster. Is this whole thing Dr Tenma's origin story?

A word of warning before anyone continues reading this manga : the MC is an unlikable , ugly , inhuman animal , and it does a lot of horrible , unforgivable things . And this manga has some of the most bullsh!t logics that I have ever seen .

I think there is a prequel to this manga , it is a anime called "School Days" , lol . Just watch the last episode of School Days and the 1st chapter of Re:Monster and you will understand . Both MCs are unlikable d!cks and they get what they deserve .

I think its story of its human life is a big , fat lie . The manga never shows its past again , so I guess this was what really happened , probably : bakayaROU invited a coworker for drinks . Then after it made her totally drunk , it took her home and r@ped her when she was defenseless . When it came out to buy more sex toys , it was caught by the short hair girl , a girl that it r@ped in the past . And now she delivered justice by herself : penetrating the r@pist with a sharp , hard , shiny thingie , and then its blood gushed out , lol .

I HATE this manga so much that I started reading Goblin Slayer , lol . It is a way better manga .
Thanks for the context

Just came back to maybe reread this (dropped it a long time ago) cause I'm bored.

Good to see I'm not the only one who thought that "enhanced man" and "psychic powers" bit is unnecessary and contributes nothing to the story.

Well, the start certainly is different...

Dude's competent, assertive, ambitious, handsome, old enough to drink, and actually has enough social skills to talk to women.

That's one hell of a change of pace compared to the scrawny loner schoolboys that are usually featured in isekai stories.

I agree. Dropping details like that only makes sense if you're outlining a cyberpunk setting that becomes relevant later on. Which is apparantly not the case here.

The setup on its own isn't bad, but it makes me wish that the author would have continued this and made this into a cyberpunk story instead.

The start doesn't matter to me because they almost always they end up overpowered, and overpowered means boring.

I take it back, his original powers does actually contribute to the story as an excuse so he can become overpowered in the other world... but that could easily be replaced by another superpower in the other world, which is why I still think it's convoluted.
