The Young Man Who Got the Anti-hero’s Power Swears to Revenge for the God World and Will Crush the Different World Hero Who Will Be Sent One after Another

My Thoughts on The Young Man Who Got the Anti-hero’s Power Swears to Revenge for the God World and Will Crush the Different World Hero Who Will Be Sent One After Another

First Impressions

Okay, that title is a mouthful, right? Going in, I was intrigued by the premise: a betrayed hero embracing anti-heroism and seeking vengeance against the gods. The setup has potential for a dark fantasy with some real emotional weight. I was hoping for a compelling story about a character grappling with loss and the corruption of power. Unfortunately, my initial optimism waned pretty quickly.

What Works Well

Honestly, finding positives was tough. The concept of a hero scorned seeking revenge is inherently appealing. The idea of a level system and game elements in a revenge-driven narrative could have added an interesting layer of progression and strategic depth. However, the execution fell short.

Areas of Concern

My biggest issue is the pacing. The story felt rushed, and I struggled to connect with the main character. I needed more time to understand his motivations and feel the impact of his betrayal. As it stands, the emotional foundation feels flimsy, making it hard to care about his quest for revenge. The translation quality also presents a significant barrier to enjoyment. It reads awkwardly at times, hindering my ability to fully immerse myself in the story. The narrative felt disjointed and lacked the nuance needed to make the anti-hero's descent believable. Instead, it comes across as "mindless edgelord chuuni story".

Final Verdict

Ultimately, "The Young Man Who Got the Anti-hero’s Power…" didn't live up to its potential. While the premise held promise, the execution suffered from pacing issues, translation problems, and a lack of emotional depth. The rushed development made it difficult to connect with the characters or invest in the revenge plot. With a rating of 2.6/5, I can't recommend this one in its current state.
