The Death Mage Who Doesn’t Want a Fourth Time Chapter 132 Discussion

People seem to think a bloodthirsty MC is better... Why is that? Well for one the MC would have been able to let loose and slaughter all that has wronged them...

Well Frick that! Van-sama may be emotional but the actions he takes are really given some thought, Spoiler

his revenge against the ones who killed his mother while not immediate, were fulfilled, with the exception of one...

[collapse]

And the village, why do people think slaughtering a village is justified? They were not the ones responsible, the only sin they committed was agreeing with the perpetrators, what Van did to them was way better. No casualties but devastating none-the-less, and with no way of knowing the culprit, they cannot direct their hatred at him...

Regarding the novel as a whole, it's not entirely exciting but takes cause and effect into consideration. Not much cliche and popular themes, action imho is just about right (idk about other peeps) but still engaging.

For one that has harem as a tag nothing overly s*xual happens (bcuz he still young), the females aren't completely gone on the MC, have their own personalities, and aren't treated as collectibles or background music.

The males aren't garnishes, they don't act like they want to have the same things the MC has, making it look like the MC is luckier than them...

The background characters are not forgotten or overly used, they surface in future chapters.

The main antagonist is a dck, but has his reasons for being so, even if they make him even more of a dck.

Good attention to detail, one cannot completely hate all of the MCs enemies, because just like dck god, they have their reasons, and most side characters are actually dependable and the heroes are not all actually deplorable...

And van? He was never normal to begin with Spoiler

his soul is made out of pieces from four dead heroes, and was ab*sed, experimented on, and was treated like he was disposable by the dck god

[collapse] but despite that, he still has the ability to care... Honestly if he acted any other way, I would have dropped this novel like a bag full of roaches in an open fire...

Overall, it's not perfect, but whole world's better than most isekai stories...
