This is one of my favorite Novels ever right along overlord. Too bad silverlink's adaptation beats the soul out of it I loved the characters the lore the world building(which all get half assed in the anime) Many of the twist seem like they come out of no where but when you actually pay attention there was some foreshadowing that you missed The same goes for many character interactions. It's oozing with charm. It wasn't something that i have seen thousand times in other media. It felt actually fresh.Sure the Royals better than commoners trope has been done to death in isekai stories. But this one was actualy thought provoking.

What if some famous characters from history came back to life and they were vastly different from what we knew abput them from history books. How would they convince others that its actually the 8 billion people that are in the wrong

The magic system is easily my favorite type about this at first it seems nonsensical but the more you go into it the more you start to know what each character is going to do just by seeing the name. Reading the fanwiki's maic section quickly turned into one of my favorite passtimes

Its not the best thing out there and om sure many wont enjoy it as much as i did but its unique for what it is and deserves a chance.

Note: Dropped after ~1.7 volumes This series is a mix of dumb-funny and extreme chuuni fantasy. At the same time, it's a bit hard to not feel exhasperated at the plot and writing, since it seems like everybody is just extremely dumb. The absurdity of some scenes gives the series a relatively fresh type of humor. You need just read the circumstances of the MC's birth to get a feel for how a lot of the jokes go. It is completely stupid, but in such a deliberate and obscene way that you can't help but laugh out loud. The world absolutely doesn't take itself seriously and I'mall for it.

The main character is also refreshingly extremely arrogant, but I can't help but feel like at the same time, the author doesn't dare to go too far with him; he is also written to be entirely too nice, which doesn't fit his vibe, or purported vibe, at all.

The reason for my dropping is mostly that any and all his fights are just power-up after power-up, shouting out meaningless spells and words, different every time, like Arifureta on steroids. And we know MC is going to win every time, obviously, so fights just drag on for chapters and chapters with nothing to show for them.
