People get really hung up on the whole "150 chapters in and he always loses" bit.People, read the god damn tags before making reviews and crying because you weren't expecting shit. Anyway.Have you read Berserk? Yes, okay. Have you read Mushoku Tensei? Yes? Okay. Now imagine a weird mix of those two novels/anime into one. It's not as gory and depressing as Berserk, yet still retains some similarities. On the mushoku tensei part, it has romance and slow slice of life chapters added in it. It's all about struggle, dude may think he is OP but he isn't. Just think about god damn dragon king that one shotted our man Ruddeus who I hate with my life.Now, aside from the Mushoku Tensei, I must put a spoiler alert here for the ones trying to make sense of what imma saying. So, spoiler alert.Everyone keeps saying how the MC keeps lossing, yet that is mostly on three particular instances. He doesn't understands his problems and he didn't really focus on training after knowing about how the dragon king was holding the forth. Believing the Cross Army won't come to his new home any time soon. The only "real" danger that keeps beating him up are the Apostles. Yet, by chapter 150 it was only three times.After escaping from lab, after fighting against the same apostle in their new castle, then after trying to hold them back with an army lead by him.He won, many times. But people get butthurt because all the friends he made were killed once more... which, is kinda expected. ONE apostle was an army killer that he had to make a deal to let the others escape, sooner or later they where all going to die unless the story decide to do a 180 and make our MC suddenly powerful out of nowhere by unlocking some inner power bullshit. The first village already was a casualty in my mind when they mention how the village was close to the war zone. The moment the dragon king lost, it was obvious what their destiny was going to be. Realistic shit.He got a EYE of god, yet to even UNLOCK some new powers he need to go through trials. This sh*t right here, I loved it. No insta power MC. No god like MC from the start. No "oh, I suffer and now I can beat you with a flick of my finger" bullshit. Just a underdog in a cruel world, forcing him to slowly but surely grow till the time comes for him to beat them back.There is romance, there is backstories, the MC is called beta cuck by many... but he is HUMAN. He is still having empathy. That is the first thing many people throw away when facing the cruelty of the world. They want MC to just f*ck with his two teammates for no other reason than because they believe an alpha male should act like that. He wants romance, he wants friendship and love. He is no s*ave to his desires and doesn't want to lose those close to him.The story is good, really good. Lives up to the tags and what it represents. It's literally Mushoku Tensei on the fact that the world gets darker everything it gets a little brighter. Always testing our MC. Yet grimdark enough like berseker in which everyone our lovely MC gets close to gets mu*der after a while by beings stronger than him. Yet, not as grimdark because lets be honest. If it was berserk levels of grim then those two companions fates would already leave many grimmacing. Really, perfectly balance.But....Still have its head scratching moments. The whole three times that the supposed brainwashed apostles let the MC escape. That sh*t right there is weird to me... I mean, Sariel I get it. She still retains some humanity but from what we understand, the others don't have that. They are just "acting" and still wear their rings in the head. Hell, it was a direct order for one of them yet she let him go? Weird sh*t right there.Either way, it seems all readers who love "redo of healer" are here. Wanting MC to be exactly like that guy, to have gone through hell and then go full revenge all the while raping/f*cking all waifus. Seriously, some people just don't appreciaty some good stories that don't inmediatly go for s*x.
