Description
Imagine being reincarnated into the world of a game, without any knowledge of its original story. In a world where the power of demons grew stronger after the death of the hero, one rogue ignored the original storyline and became obsessed with hunting demons. This obsession spelled their doom. The protagonist (originally a man) had one goal: “Skill Development.” For this purpose, demon cores, the demons’ weak points, provided the best nourishment. So why hesitate to kill demons who prey on humans?

My Thoughts on I Thought I Had Reincarnated in a Musou Game, But It Turns Out This Is a Hardcore Grimdark Game
This title certainly grabbed my attention! "I Thought I Had Reincarnated in a Musou Game, But It Turns Out This Is a Hardcore Grimdark Game" promises a twist on the isekai genre, and from what I've read so far, it delivers a protagonist unlike any I've encountered recently.
First Impressions
The initial premise is intriguing. The MC, Sharon, reincarnates into a world where humans and demons are locked in a brutal war. What sets this apart is her utterly ruthless approach to survival. Forget noble heroes – Sharon is all about pragmatism, even if it means employing morally questionable tactics.
What Works Well
What I find most compelling is the MC's unapologetic nature. She's not trying to be a hero; she's simply trying to survive in a world where the lines between good and evil are blurred. Her methods are brutal – blackmail, manipulation, and even genocide against demon children – but the story forces you to question whether these actions are justified in a world where demons pose a constant threat to humanity.
The story also does a good job of portraying demons as more than just mindless monsters. They have societies, families, and their own moral codes, which adds a layer of complexity to the conflict and makes the MC's actions even more morally ambiguous. I also appreciate the power system, where both humans and demons level up by killing each other, and the unique abilities of the "holy swords."
Areas of Concern
While I'm enjoying the story so far, I can see where some readers might be concerned. The MC's actions are undeniably brutal, and the story doesn't shy away from depicting the dark side of humanity (and demon-kind). Some might find it difficult to root for a protagonist who is essentially a "serial killer" targeting demons. Also, I noticed that some readers feel the world-building could be more fleshed out, especially outside the academy setting.

I'm definitely hooked and eager to see where the story goes next.
