After rescuing one realm, hero Minsu Kim returns to Earth only to discover that he has lost everything... so he resolves to destroy the world he once called home. During his rampage, he takes the lives of teenager Jeongsu Park and his family.

Slow start but engaging

by Joese

At last an (edgy) revenge fantasy series that doesn't border hentai. It might be me having a soft spot for time travel elements, but I think it's very promising.... Unless the author slows the pace at which the series is advancing or starts talking gibberish about what the powers have behind them ...

Even though the premise is revenge driven, I don't think it'll be the main theme. It'll probably go about pitting different themed heroes against each other while slowly unravelling what's happening and a bit of their backstory (I like how they show some key scenes and don't drag them out).

Up to now there has been lots of action and in a quite well drawn unique style. I dislike a bit the tints of nationalism exaltation the author throws with the navy and secret service ,but this was probably a contraposition to other series which inspired this one was (Korean series usually tend to dehumanise all the bad guys and anything related to the government) so its quite refreshing that this one doesn't.

The lance hero ¿MC? is a bit dumb (I guess it's just the author not grasping some simple reasoning the characters should make in these extreme circumstances or how most people have different reactions to fear) ,for example killing the first hero he sees without planning much, but all this stays on normal levels, considering there's a hero that can travel in time, he's probably set things up on his favour and other crazy influences that could be introduced later (this series is just starting).

He lashed out on the world by massacring innoncent people because he lost his mommy and daddy, who was killed by

his time-reversing deus-ex machina of an ally and because life is too hard and people didn't want to help him, even though he has superpowers and has far more options than anybody else.

I continue to read this silly charade just to see his stupid face at the end when things are revealed to him.

It is fun and justified to see people kill others... so long as it does not involve me, my family(probably).

What happened to SH family is sad. It is depressing. Yet, that does not give him the right to take other's happiness. Other uninvolved people. However, it seems a LOT of people agree, sympathize, support and even justify his actions.
He could like a normal person, ask for help. Family and friends are not the only place to ask for help.

Basically, following the rationale given by the SH supports I cam eto the conclsion of the type of people we should support; and I mean support all their actions regardless of any harm to others.
(1)Let us start with Bullies. We should support them, and even encourage them so that they keep on making life miserable for others, before killing them.
(2) Terrorists- because they have big weapons.
(3) People who no longer have any one in their life due to unforeseen accidents( eg- natural disasters).
Let me be clear, following rationale provided by the SH and his supporters; for (3) we should allow, and even encourage them to kill every single being alive. That includes the supporters and their family too, probably. They are not to be provided help or counselling, weapons and a killing spree is the answer. All should be according to what their guide the SH said- if I'm sad then everyone else should be sad too.

The mangas characters are completely unmotivated to commit the acts they do, everyone is just a psychopath and kills everyone for fun... If a mangas character have no rime or reason for their actions other than "im evil now" then why would the reader become emotionally invested. This manga is extremely boring since it's story is subpar at best because its completely unrealistic in how people act in the real world...

Lets say i was Isekaied, i spend 8 months fighting and subsequently killing the demon lord, i then get to go back home. Now imagine once i get back home 8 months have past and my parents have died because of either accidents or deep depression of losing their child resulting in suicide, the rest of my family hates me and i feel abandoned, do i -A- try to cut out a new life for myself seeking meaning and an escape from my depression with my incredible powers that i still have, effectively build a new life... or do i -B- kill everyone around me (millions of innocent people) because "if i'm sad then everyone else should be sad to"... if you chose B then this manga is for you...
