Far too early to rate this. It has promise though. The premise (pun lol!) is fairly interesting, in that this weary, bitter transmigrator has a goddess on his side, though it might just be for her amusement. She gives him glimpses of the future and railroaded A OR B choices (no other option available). And in this case, it turns out he 'has' to kidnap the heroes party (long before they become heroes - the Hero is 14, not entirely sure on the others ages). The story gives semi-plausible reasons... more>> for it, in that the Demon Lord worshippers are literally moments away from kidnapping them and will result in a bad ending.

But you know, the plot only works because it doesn't allow other options? Like yes, he's being railroaded into kidnapping them... without exploring other options? Well, technically he kidnapped the Heroine, 'adopted' the Thief after her grandmother dies, was asked flat out to kidnap the Mage (ask by her HERSELF), and then broke into the church and stole the Saintess (except it's a f***ing cult and she makes drugs that she herself is addicted to).

So we have a derpy, slightly dumb Hero, a yandere greedy jealous obsessive Thief, an emotionally broken Mage, and a drug-addicted Saintess (who can manufacture her own drug). The MC is a pretty good dude so far, but he's clearly been through a lot, and seems to be quite traumatized by what happened to his old party/lover, who's dead.

So yeah, it has some promise, with an interesting setup, but the very nature of the story forces ridiculously traumatized characters (except the Hero, who's actually well adjusted and therefore the only one who's ACTUALLY kidnapped against her will) and a broken MC to be together.

Huh, this sounds exactly like Kidnapped Dragons!

Lol. Anyway, this could turn into a ridiculously good story that's very healing because it's full of healing! Or it turn into mediocre crap with a cast of crazy yanderes all after one MC. Not sure how it's going to go at all at this point. Honestly it really depends on how the character growth happens, and unfortunately so far I'm not impressed. Of the 4 Hero Party kidnapping victims, the Thief has noticeably gotten worse, due to really bad advice by the MC. So he could try to fix the hole he's in right now, and I think he's trying to do so, but as of now it's still very much in the set-up phase.

I have hopes, but they're tempered as of now. <<less

Pretty good. As of chapter 40:

• • Story mostly about taking care of kids with mental issues. No real romance yet even if there is a yandere.

• • MC see the girls as kids, treat them so and even enforce it to prevent them from being overly dependent on him,
    Spoiler

    too bad the girl develop in a strange direction

    [collapse]
    .

• • MC is strong but not dominatingly OP. He has to sacrifice his life to solo kill the weakest (of the 5) demon lords temporarily, though they will revive themselves later if not killed by the hero.

Looking forward to how it will develop.
