At least this one actually had people nearby to try and help him; as opposed to being a cooling corpse for everyone to discover when they clock in for the day.

It'd be nice if we got a switching of POVs.

Thanks for updating!

I don't really see the point of giving the isekai'd person a backstory like an abusive boss, and then just immediately moving on from it, if it bares no relevance to the story. It'd be one thing if it was a small subplot that got resolved in this chapter (like the boss being arrested for overworking the MC), but instead we're just left with a dangling plot thread that can't really be resolved in any way; the boss was an ass, the end.

The whole point is to emphasise the timid nature of the protag and to explain how exactly he died. It is also used to garner sympathy for the protag.

As someone invading the body, why does he not at least think that he could be the evil god? He in part wrote the plot of the world including its despairs, that would qualify him as an evil god in the eyes of those he made suffer.

The main takeaway here seems to be that MC knows this Schneizel from his past life's work, but doesn't remember some of the details - maybe he forgot, or maybe his superior really did 'make this game even more interesting'. I think it was a rather brief and dynamic way to explain that, better than through dry infodump.

Oh sure, but that didn't require a terrible boss character who was the one who essentially killed the MC (via overwork), now did it?
For example, it could have been a nice boss who made those changes, and everybody was going through crunch!

why are you so hung up on that? It's such an insignificant detail.

 

[ARealCoolGuy]

why are you so hung up on that?

We're in the comment section for the chapter where that happened. Where else am I going to make a comment about that, if not here? And a single comment (and replying to those who reply to me) hardly constitutes being 'hung up' on something, or should I say you're hung up on my comment?
It's just friendly banter in a comment section, be chill my dude.

that did not answer my question

Oh, was the initial comment on my thoughts on it not enough?:

"I don't really see the point of giving the isekai'd person a backstory like an abusive boss, and then just immediately moving on from it, if it bares no relevance to the story.

I don't think there's much more for me to say on it. Besides I've seen this kind of unresolved setup in a few other series, so I wanted to make a comment on it.

I hope in the original world, his colleagues sues the crap out of HR + that incompetent dude who dumped everything to him

 

[Psychronia]

Would someone who was a pushover for his boss really intervene to protect a girl being berated by her own boss?

It would be nice to touch on the original world though. His death had witnesses and everything.
