My Thoughts on The Heinous Mysterious Death Green The Most Sinister Hero, Warmly Welcomed by The Wicked Organization
This web novel, The Heinous Mysterious Death Green, definitely left me with some conflicting feelings. It's a wild ride of super-sentai parody, anti-hero antics, and a whole lot of dark humor, but it doesn't always stick the landing.
First Impressions
Initially, I was hooked by the premise. A hero with a ruthlessly pragmatic approach to justice finding himself among the "evil" organization? Sounds like a recipe for comedic gold. And for a while, it was! The early chapters had me laughing at the protagonist, Rintaro's, utter lack of moral qualms when it came to fighting for what he believed was right.
What Works Well
The comedic element is definitely a strong point. The misunderstandings, while sometimes overplayed, create a lot of the humor. I particularly enjoyed seeing Rintaro's strategies backfire in unexpected ways, leading to even more chaos. The concept of a hero who's a bit too efficient and willing to use morally questionable tactics is genuinely funny. There's also a certain charm to the cast of characters, even if they contribute to some of the story's weaknesses.
Areas of Concern
However, the humor frequently veers into uncomfortable territory. The constant misunderstandings that paint Rintaro as a pervert, for example, quickly become tiresome and detract from the overall enjoyment. I also felt that Rintaro's character development stagnated somewhat as the story progressed. He seemed to lose some of his initial cunning and agency, becoming more of a passive observer than an active participant in the plot.

Final Verdict
The Heinous Mysterious Death Green is a mixed bag. It has moments of genuine comedic brilliance and an intriguing premise, but it's also plagued by repetitive tropes, uncomfortable humor, and a protagonist who loses some of his initial spark. If you're a fan of super-sentai parodies and dark humor, you might find something to enjoy here. However, be prepared for some potentially off-putting content along the way. I'd cautiously recommend it with a strong content warning.
