One of the most depressing openings I've ever read to a story. The MC has it hard and the story and writing style makes sure you understand it well. First dozen chapters or so feel like a drag and are rather emotionally consuming, almost prompting me to abandon the series.However, the story picks itself up rather quickly. The MC skyrockets rather quickly from very weak to very powerful, but without becoming completely OP. There are many factions and people that are stronger than the MC, constantly creating some tension and weight to the plot. The story evolves rapidly into a rather generic and light hearted OP isekai story, but maintains several serious aspects and even occasional setbacks and tragedies so that the emotional rollercoaster keeps rolling nicely.A story which begins with tragedy and maintains the balance between light hearted harem OP stuff and serious, sometimes even tragic, stuff. Unique and interesting plot, well built and rather complicated world and well fleshed out characters. Might not be one of the finest novels I've ever read, but definitely one of the most interesting ones.Also, the translation job is superb. The amount of effort, care and skill put into it is obvious and something I never thought I'd see in online translations.
