The Hero’s party was attacked by a large group of powerful devils. The party will no doubt be annihilated if this were to go on. One member of the party, the strongest mage, Rakku, decided to stop the enemies in their tracks.
「Leave it to me here and go!」
「But……」
「Hey, I’ll catch up immediately, alright?」
Rakku mindlessly defeated the enemies, over and over again. Using his special skill, Learning, Rakku learned the devils’ magic. As he studied and utilised the devils’ abilities such as Drain Touch, he continued fighting, without rest nor sleep. The devils got stronger and stronger, but Rakku grew rapidly as well.
Rakku battled for 10 years, until no devils came at him. Rakku returned to the capital, and was surprised to discover that his own name had become the currency, and a gigantic statue of him, albeit fairly beautified, was made.
Due to him relentlessly absorbing the vitality of the devils, he had become young again. An appearance unfitting of his age. Godly abilities.
「I stand out too much」
Rakku concealed his true identity, and decided to pretend being a novice adventurer by disguising himself as a F-rank warrior despite being an S-rank mage. His adventure in this now peaceful (?) world starts now!



Nonetheless, the novels are still entertaining, and I am quite curious about what comes next after the devil arc.
- **Backstory**: 4/5 - The premise is solid, and the protagonist's OP status has a reasonable explanation.
- **Action**: 3/5 - Don't anticipate intense action sequences.
- **Characters**: 4/5 - Characters are well-developed and serve a purpose, avoiding the usual "awe-struck" reactions to the main character's strength.
- **Story**: 3.5/5 - Initially, the pace is slow, focusing on the MC's daily life and helping others, but after 10-15 chapters, it might become repetitive for some due to the repetitive nature.
- **Translation**: 6/5 - A standout feature is the translator's consistent updates and high-quality, professional translation, with minimal intrusive notes.
If you're looking for a relaxed, non-harem adventure in a fantasy setting, this series could be enjoyable. Just be prepared for a low-key plot without romance, intense villains, or action-packed scenes.
I've only read nine chapters, so my assessment of character development is limited, but so far, I haven't found any particularly engaging characters. Initially intrigued by the intriguing premise, reminiscent of Gandalf's growth in "The Lord of the Rings," I must admit my expectations were let down. The protagonist's backstory of being abandoned for ten years doesn't contribute any novelty to the plot; he seems indistinguishable from the typical 'strong transported to another world' trope, despite his origin.
It's premature to give a definitive rating, but based on the current content, I doubt the story will significantly improve after fifty chapters. While it may be readable, I doubt it will resonate with many readers seeking an enjoyable experience.
