When a boy coincidentally fell into a dimension hole, what awaited him was a world of sword and magic.

Two years of tragedies, wars, and schemes, passed until he was finally able to return to Earth.

But when he came back, the world was no longer the same.

A new world with advanced technology, Garesto, was now trading with Earth, leading to a complete overhaul of Earth’s technology.

In the long years that have passed and the great changes that have occurred, his family was not left untouched.

His parents were now divorced. His siblings were now strangers. And all his friends were now gone.

He who possessed otherworldly power and knowledge hid himself for various reasons. But though he was able to somehow pull the wool over the world’s eyes, there were still those who noticed him.

This is a tale that came to be because of a boy who came back home.

I really can't stand all these beta mcs.

Why do all these Japanese author like such pu*sy mcs. Really destroys the taste of the novel.

An otherwise perfect novel, which I could have enjoyed a lot gets destroyed because of this annoying "sorry" trait of the MC.

Feels like even if you end up sleeping with mc's gf the only thing he will do is apologize.

... more>>
Spoiler

Hidden Bomb goes of, MC saves the day but he still apologizes stating that "I don't have the right to be thanked. All of this is due to my negligence. So, sorry."

This line is copied word by word from the novel.

It would have been still bearable if he held some position or was accountable or responsible for the safety of the people he saved but no, he doesn't but he still ends up apologizing.

[collapse]

Things like this happens a lot of times.... at this point it feels a lot pretentious.

One might expect that for someone who lived in an almost apocalyptic world, not just lived but one who rose from bottom to top in a world filled with cruel politics, betrayal, lies and deception, the MC would have a lot of self confidence and a strong personality but no. The author makes it so that as if almost all the effort the MC put in the other world was a waste. It was as if there was no character development of MC before he left earth and after he came to earth.

There are some other (minor) flaws but they are not big enough to reduce the quality of the novel.

And otherwise would have been a 5 star rating goes to 3 star because of this one single negative trait of MC.

Now on to the flaw of the author.

The author tries to instill a fake sense of mystery in his novel. And he tries really hard with all the time axis order of release and all. But imo it fails miserably as I don't feel even an ounce of mystery from the MC of the novel. For this, I would like to deduct 0.5 star but since novel planet doesn't allow that, I rated it a 3 star. But even though the author fails, the story is still enjoyable.

For anyone wishing to give it a go, if you can ignore this apologizing trait of MC, the novel is quite good foe time pass and you might enjoy it.

Also read it the way/order in which the author released the chapters.

EDIT: I am done... you know what, fu** this S**t. I can't stand it anymore... the MC keeps on crying too much. There is literally 0 character development. It feels like the MC has a mutiple personality disorder. It is based on the convenience of the author. The MC is depicted as a f*cking failure in life who can't to jack shit. He can't even be good at studying despite having a powerfull memory cos of high skill stat. The explanation author gives is that he has a powerful memory only when it comes to fighting. I am done. I am out. This novel is just an utter waste of time with a cry baby MC who is a failure in life and can't do jack sh*t until the author wants him to. <<less

Don't skip out on this novel just because the beginning doesn't have a linear storyline.

TL:DR - good MC, non-contradictive actions-ish, and not dense. Kinda an edge lord. Other characters don't appear that much, but still pretty good. Contributes more than just sitting in the back staring at awe of MC. Story/Plot - Good enough tbh, not addictive, but definitely can keep you hooked.

Nakamura Shinichi is pretty far from the meta JP protagonist, as he is more than willing to ab*se his abilities, perfectly fine with women & their relationships, and... more>> most definitely a chad. Unfortunately, traces of it remain as he refuses to come out of the shadows, operating under the nickname "Masquerade". I like the novel, it's far better than most of the novels on this site, the underlying plot seems very interesting, and Shinichi being OP doesn't make everything TOO easy. I feel like the characters in the story don't really have a large role other than him though. They appear, but not consistently enough to establish a foundational space inside your head to remember them. Reading him ruin people's lives is pretty satisfying though, and he's pretty edgy. Something I'm not entirely a fan of is how he's willing to cross any line except for mu*der, but whatever. He understands that humans are flawed, and isn't naive nor shys away from dealing with these problems. He's still got unresolved issues, stuff he can't just power through, but all in due time. I find it easy to sympathize with his story, which might be because of the author. The plot is definitely darker than usual stories, but I don't think it really impacts the storytelling. Overall it's pretty good, please give it a try. <<less

interesting concept, but bad execution.

Its okay if you like to do momento styled stories, but you kind of have to make us care about the characters.

Things jump around the timelines so often, that you are never given enough information to care or understand the characters.

The MC is a basic japanese MC. Just think of the shunned loser who is op archetype, and this is him. The side characters... don't really matter since the story jumps around enough for you to not care about them. Because the chapters are written out... more>> of order, some times a Characters actions in a future chapter make no sense when you read the past chapter on said characters almost like the author didn't really plan the story well.

The plot is a basic chuunibyou plot of some secret organization trying to rule the world and the MC fighting against them. Nothing too new or special. Just average.

Girls literally throw themselves to his feet even though he by all accounts is being a dick, and not charming at all. Well its a harem is novel, so I don't expect the girls to have any brains when they start liking him for no reason.

All in all, its very clumsy, and I recommend reading this in numerical order, and not based on when they are realeased, and waiting for it to be completed, because the last chapter is probably going to be the first one. <<less

Tbh this story is only a 3 star but man I'll still give this one a 5 for an effort. If this one was written by a professional author, it wouldve been like a masterpiece. So when I read this, I kind of imagine it's Alternate perfect counterpart and all sequences in perfect chronological order and yup it fits like a perfect sleeve.

I don't have anything to add because all the reviews are subjective. On an objective basis I'll say this one needs a f*cking lot of work, but my... more>> bias still says this one has potential for greatness. I hope he rewrites this once he has a more mature writing style and a signature style. <<less

*sigh*

This novel is good. Well like some other novels. But every time I find a novel that I'm interested in. the original raw story is far away. while the English translation does not.

*sigh*

I know I'm just complaining. I hope that the translator is given health and his life is made easy.

Yes... Maybe the story will be complicated at first. But the story is interesting because it is shown from various points of view of the characters.

The author tries to instill a fake sense of mystery in his novel. But all it does is make the reader stop reading. We don't know who is talking or what is happening. It is just bad writing. It gives no feeling of mystery. Hell author tried to "mystify" the origin of MC or what happened to him. Did the author forget the title of the novel screams "MC went to a fantasy world and came back to see his world changed". It is just bad writing.
