Cid Kagenou has a dream. Not of being some typical protagonist or the Final Boss-he has his eyes set on becoming a hidden mastermind working in the shadows. Now that he's been reborn in another world, Cid has been hard at work building the perfect stage to act out his long-desired role.The only issue? His imaginary adversaries and plot devices seem to actually exist in this new realm and he alone is left in the dark.Official English
Kage no Jitsuryokusha ni Naritakute! The Eminence in Shadow Восхождение в тени म पर्दा पछाडिको शक्ति बन्न चाहन्छु! ชีวิตไม่ต้องเด่นขอแค่เป็นเทพในเงา 想要成为影之实力者 我想成為影之強者！ 陰の実力者になりたくて！ 숨은 실력자가 되고싶어서
After chapter 47 it diverges from the source (the source material had a zombie ark that was left on haitus). The ark that comes after is great, but in recent chapters the MC almost doesn't appear and the story has gone downhill (ch 46-47). It isn't echi but the story has devolved into something formulaic with the side-characters constantly blabbering nonsense. Adding the fact that the story comes out monthly I'll probably drop it for a while
This is a great comedic story about misunderstandings and obliviousness, and about doing the right things by accident. The art can sometimes be a bit rough; and the NPC fight scenes get a bit repetitive; but the core premise works really well and makes up for any imperfections in the execution. Cid is just a really fun and unique protagonist to read about.
I only got to chapter 3 before the joke had already run it's course, infact it stopped being funny before chapter 1 ended. I'm not sure who'd find this funny?
Started off hilarious with the MC's antics and hiding his true self but it starts to grate on your nerves after about 20 chapters and were in the 40's now so it's pure cringe at this point.
Everybody but the MC is given an IQ to that of a crayon so the author can keep using the same worn out plot device over and over.
Keeps getting worse and worse so down goes the rating more.
There has only been one joke in this entire manga. You get a scene of cliche anime bullshit, then later it's explained that he was actually doing it for some completely wacky and random reason. Lather, rinse, repeat. It ends up being a perfect example of the kind of trite writing it thinks it's mocking. It is pure hipster in that it gives you the wink and the nod to show that it is self aware that what it is doing is stupid, and then proceeds to do the stupid thing, because irony.
The premise gets old really fast and really annoying to bout. I could not get past the first 2 volumes.

You are stupid or you are a teen, or both.
