A good example of this is when the MC is driven to a vegetative state, and at this point he's gone insane, the author doesn't hold your hand and tell you but when you think about it from the perspective of a normal person he seems quite insane. He escapes from the vegetative state after dying and coming back as an undead being, then destroys the facility he was held in. A team of other reincarnated beings that he knows before he died appear. He is killed by them, because they don't recognize him and just think he's a monster. He ends up in the realm of the god who reincarnated him. He understandably lashes out at the god for screwing him over, but remember he's unstable, so he gets a bit too angry and says he's gonna mu*der everyone who's going to the world he's reincarnating in next and the god. The god reacts by cursing him to the point of where he'll hopefully commit su*cide. Instead he only gets more angry. He reincarnates and gains his memories at 3 months old. Being a baby gives him a lot of time to think over how he got to this point, and like all emotions in life his hatred lessens, more so becoming bitter at his circumstances. He thinks it over and regrets his actions thinking he wasn't really right in the head then. So he doesn't really hate his fellow reincarnators anymore after realizing they didn't recognize him, but he's still pissed at getting shafted by a god. Now you may be thinking what kind of god handles a situation like that, isn't that unreasonable, I thought he was a god? Well you see gods in this all operate and act differently, they are not omnipresent, think greek gods. Some gods lack emotions, some have different perceptions of reality, some are quite human, and some are straight up insane. The god that shafted the MC falls into the category of being really inexperienced with human interaction, and also lacking an understanding of emotions. So when the MC says all that stuff he's like, "Oh he's definitely gonna do that." Instead of just letting the MC cool off or talking him out of it. Anyways so the MC's mom gets burned at the stake for giving birth to him, cause he's a half-vampire (In the place he was born in half-vampires are the most persecuted creatures and equivalent to demonspawn) The town that she was burned in, some old church guy, and a party of adventurers all have a hand in what happens to his mom. So he gets strong and avenges said mom by messing up the walls and farmland of the town instead of killing them all, because he knows that not everyone one there is guilty for persecuting her and his mom wouldn't want him to do that, also that they've sorta been brainwashed by their religion into thinking she was evil. He violently mu*ders the old man cause he's a crazy fanatic, who's a repeat offender for mu*dering people who gave birth to half-vampires and half-vampires with not a chance of his beliefs being changed because they've only been reaffirmed over time. Then with the adventurer party-ha not telling, you'll have to read for that one but trust me it's well done and still going.
[collapse] Now while you're reading this I bet you had a lot of why's or a that doesn't make sense moment. Now, trust me when I say all of those are answered as you read, are they all answered immediately? No they are not, all things that don't make sense are revealed over time at good points, while not dumping info all at once. It's more like a steady stream you could say. I highly recommend not skipping the side chapters, because they all contain important information and are the main source of understanding any questions you have. If your question hasn't been answered while reading the LN it could end up being a plot pursued later, it could've already been answered, or it was a s*upid question (Don't worry, happens to me too). Moving on to another reason to read this LN. It ties just about any detail I can think of that was mentioned while reading into the story later on leaving no loose ends, it's very good at that to the point where you just sorta marvel at how much the writer thought about the story. I realize I'm kissing the story's ass to an unreasonable degree, but I thought it was just that good, and honestly the beginning plays out arguably generically until around chapter 30. Also I get some people wanted a super revenge fueled MC who lacks any sort of modicum of common sense (like the punisher), and it can be pretty fun and interesting to read at times, but the problem with that is that it's only good for a short time and eventually just becomes comical, it isn't suitable for something like this where the author is trying to make a very long story with an occasionally in depth serious plot, because it'll eventually just seem out of place. Now this isn't to say there aren't moments where the MC doesn't have fits of anger or he's just out of control, it's just that the author doesn't have that be his main trait. Alright I think that's enough rambling, I'm really tired and I've just about forgotten anything else I was gonna say. Plus when I think about it, this was way more for me than it was for others. If you actually read this behemoth of text you're a trooper and I thank you for sticking to it.
