I'm currently all caught up. And it's a mix between your typical revenge and powerfantasy story.
It's nothing much but better than most in that regard and I know some people like stories like these.

I'd put this at about or... frankly above the level of Solo Leveling, so whoeever enjoyed that might at least find this readable as well.
Translation is so-so, but at some point it seems to be the case that the translator switched and the english got better. Tbh the translation was the hardest part to get past and enjoy this for me.


OP is an absolute "badass" who gets a lot of power ups, his favored word/sentence is "before I regressed.." as you will soon notice if you start reading.
The art is very decent up to the level of good in my opinion. Sometimes it's a bit too flashy and messy but overall it's certainly not bad.
The demons that appear in this story are rather brutal, overall it has some rather dark themes.
Eating children, cannibalism, rape, executions, drugs, utter disregard of human life etc. but there are lighter moments as well. It's overall an interesting story and I was able to read 30+ chapters on a weekend without getting bored of it.

Something some user may like: MC doesn't mess around, he kills whoever thinks deserves it, and he doesn't hesitate.

Like in most of these types of stories, I always find it a bit disappointing that MC gets to power up way beyond what others can achieve, which makes it a bit boring - just like in Solo Leveling. I can say that I've now read like a few hundred of stories with similar themes and this is one of the better ones in my opinion, but take that with a grain of salt, because most of them are utter trash.
Wouldn't mind an anime adaption of this, tbh.
Certainly no "great anime" material, but it would most likely be more fun than most other shows/isekai/reincarnation stories.

I expect that people will be entertained to read and pass some time, if they like the setup.

If you happen to read it, feel free to bash it or discuss it.
Wouldn't mind some recommendations either.

Thanks for the rec! Great art. Am binging through this.

[shinta|hikari]

So much WAKI.

Much thanks.

[KrayZ33]

So much WAKI.

Much thanks.

I didn't even notice that and wouldn't know when and where, even while I'm thinking about it.
You sure have an eye for that.

Only while writing this I realized you are probably talking about the girl from the tribe? Or perhaps also the Morgue/red head?

Glad you liked it.
Edit: Chapter 86 (I think is the latest, where he fights the minions of the demon-priest) had a nice cliffhanger, although I doubt it's really her. But god damn, that would be quite harsh und rarely seen in series like these.

Aiyen. Sleeveless archers are the best class. Only at 62 atm.

I cannot blame you for not noticing. It would not be an exaggeration to say that is the first thing I notice at any moment.

It's Camus's cousin, the one she was crying about I think. All caught up.

[KrayZ33]

Yeah most likely. Would've made me a little uncomfortable otherwise, not gonna lie. The good kind though.

[shinta|hikari]

Is this a consistent weekly release?

[KrayZ33]

Is this a consistent weekly release?

Might actually, looking at the release dates.
Not sure if I'll check it every week though, I kinda like having a bit more available to binge through.

But then again.... it's quite interesting right now.

[shinta|hikari]

Do you have any other recommendations similar to this one?

[KrayZ33]

Not really. Let's assume this one here is a 10/10 (so we have a bar)

I obviously haven't even tried all the bazillionton of the same story in variant B or those that are of the same genre.
The only one I'm up to date on, other than this one, but I don't think deserved a thread was:

Infinite Mage (5-7/10)

Some orphan has a super special talent for spellcasting, and then it's about being in a mage academy. But that one became quite weird ever since the author decided it is a good idea to explain magic with physics and math - magic - something.
I understand that he wanted to show that they are actually studying magic .. but it's just unnecessary.
The fact that I came all the way to the latest chapter, which is 92 I believe, however is at least something.

Then there is:

The Knight King Who Returned with a God (5-7/10)

which is more of a comedy for me.
That fucker MC is actually a racist against orcs and spits on people and sees them as below him. It had it's moment and stopped when I reached the end of what was available back then, but haven't even started reading it again.
The art wasn't that good, but certainly decent enough (edit: now after seeing it again, it actually looks good) and it had some seriously cool fantasy knight armor and amazing monster design. At least to the point where I read it.

It's about a King, similar to Pendragon, but in a fantasy world, who reincarnated into the modern one.
And the modern one is plagued by "Gates" just like in Solo Leveling.
He has his old god-given powers (holy swords, blessings) of his old world, where gods actually did shit and is now basically crusading/gathering believers in our world while clearing the gates for us and helping the world, who he considers his subjects in need of protection. All the time while being a complete dick as he used to be a king and wants while he wants to be treated as such at every moment.
He basically "creates" a guild that doesn't value just A-Ranks S-Ranks etc. but basically everyone willing to be loyal to him and buffs them with his "arthurian-spells", so even lousy C-Ranks have certain power and could technically fight B and A ranks. He creates his own army, so to say.
And obviously he himself is SSSSSSS-Rank.



Only way to find good ones is, sadly, to swim through the garbage and see what sticks.
And considering that they are like 200 manhwa's and manga's of the same topic at every given moment... it's just tedious.
Really glad I found this one, and the problem mentioned above is the reason why I asked for other people to recommend me some

[shinta|hikari]

I have stopped reading manga and manhwa years ago. I only read Chainsawman now, so any recommendation is welcome. Thank you for these ones!

Reading this: The Knight King Who Returned with a God

This is less Pendragon and more Gilgamesh, and I am here for it.
