Description
Makoto is summoned to another world with his classmates and gains the skill Contract. Realizing quickly that he had gained this skill, he made a contract with the king to ensure the safety of his classmates in case the Kingdom of Flaus, the kingdom that summoned his classmates as heroes, had some nefarious plans for them. However, his classmates, who are unaware of his true skills, begin to bully him for taking the liberty of doing so. The bullying intensifies day by day, and Makoto, having reached his limit, decides to take revenge by having his contract expire and his classmates fall into disgrace by his death. Finally, after being falsely accused and stabbed by a classmate, Makoto is convinced that the Kingdom of Flaus is not a benevolent country, and he ends his life feeling satisfied. After his death, he is picked up by God and learns that the world will collapse in the near future. He is then not asked to prevent the world from collapsing, but rather to rescue spirits captured by people before the world collapses. Makoto descends into the world again as the demi-god Finis. With a power unrivaled by any other, Finis travels around the apocalypse, witnessing the conclusion of his vengeance and the end of the world itself.

My Thoughts on I Was Killed by My Classmates and Became God’s Gofer
I dove into "I Was Killed by My Classmates and Became God’s Gofer" with a mix of curiosity and trepidation. The premise, while familiar – a betrayed protagonist reincarnated – had a unique twist that caught my attention. The idea of a God's errand runner instead of a revenge-fueled hero seemed refreshing.
First Impressions
Initially, I was hooked. The story wastes no time getting to the inciting incident: death by classmates. From there, the shift to a divine mission felt surprisingly smooth. The protagonist's lack of immediate vengeance also surprised me, setting it apart from similar stories. I was eager to see where this unique path would lead.
What Works Well
What I appreciated most was the surprisingly nuanced characters. They weren't simple caricatures of good or evil. The classmates, for example, weren't just blindly malicious; many were acting out of fear or were manipulated. This added a layer of realism that's often missing in this genre. The world-building, with its focus on the abuse of spirits and its consequences, also felt like a clever commentary on environmental issues. The story dares to ask what happens when we take more than we give.
Areas of Concern
However, my enthusiasm waned as I progressed. The pacing felt incredibly slow at times. The plot would occasionally detour into seemingly unrelated slice-of-life segments. While these moments weren't inherently bad, they disrupted the momentum and made me lose sight of the central conflict. Also, the writing style can be a bit dry. There's a lot of "telling" rather than "showing," which can make it a bit of a slog to get through. The humor is present, but I feel like it's not enough to fully alleviate the dryness.

Final Verdict
"I Was Killed by My Classmates and Became God’s Gofer" has a lot of potential. The unique premise, well-rounded characters, and thought-provoking themes make it stand out. However, the slow pacing and somewhat dry writing style hold it back. If you're looking for a different take on the isekai genre and are willing to be patient, this might be worth a try. Just be prepared for a journey that meanders a bit along the way.
