Description

Links are NOT allowed. Format your description nicely so people can easily read them. Please use proper spacing and paragraphs.

“As expected of our captain, a masterful decisive charge!”

The ideal death!…

Or so it was supposed to go, but thanks to his subordinates(?), an unexpected meteoric rise! A death-wish genius officer stirs up a rags to riches space opera, opening!

Having chuunibyou and getting NTR’d by his girlfriend made the late bloomer Ensign Nao strongly aspire to that situation of [“protecting comrades and dying heroically”]. However, contrary to expectations, in the Capital Region Guard [Coast Guard] where he was assigned, he becomes hugely active thanks to his sharp mind and the unit’s problem children(?)!

In a desperate close combat situation where he was supposed to die a [hero’s death], his subordinates annihilate the enemy in the blink of an eye!

When encountering space pirates, he plans to stay behind on the ship for a su*cide charge but they succeed in capturing the enemy ship due to engine failure!

Though troubled by the demonic unfeminine executive officer and the combo of a mecha maniac and musclehead female sergeant major, one month after taking the post he earns a promotion and exceptionally becomes acting captain. What’s more, it seems he’s found favor with the princess(?)…

A death-wish genius officer stirs up a rags to riches space opera, begins!

Cons: After reading up to chapter 360 of the web novel, I found that there's no romance other than when MC got NTR'd on the first chapter. Of course there's also no harem.

MC is surrounded by beautiful single girls, but all MC interactions with them are just greetings, giving instructions as a captain, done. There's barely any conversation unrelated to works. So as you noticed, there's no chance for romance to bloom.

Pros: Good character development. Characters also have actual personality, not just 2D filler. Good space combat and storyline.

If you're... more>> a fan of galactic military themed story, this series is highly recommended as long you don't expect any romance. Don't be like me who expected romance, harem & great spacecraft combat or else you'll be disappointed. <<less

[collapse]
so nah no cuck in here.

Spoiler

the girl kind of regret tho for doing that to MC.

[collapse]

Okay for review it's decent, the story pacing is slow for first few volume, there's quite a lot character tho and reading with mtl definitely doesn't help so better wait for translation. 3* for now <<less

I like this novel; it isn’t epic, but it’s quite good for passing the time. I’ll rate it 4 stars. The translation is also good—better than mtl. I had some trouble navigating the translation site, but I’ll let that slide since this isn’t the right place to vent about such things.

Now, I want to set expectations for future readers.

  • There’s NTR at the start of this novel, which serves as a tool to develop the MC’s character. He longs for death, but others misinterpret him as courageous and a genius. The protagonist is a meme character, so if you don’t like this setup, you might want to skip it.
  • The story includes a harem and even introduces a Big Sister in the latest chapter, but tags like "shounen" should temper reader's ardour. Seriously, there won’t be any "bam bam." Don’t expect anything serious to happen between MC and heroines.
  • This novel is a Japanese shounen take on the Star Trek trope. To provide a more accurate comparison, it resembles "I Woke Up Piloting the Strongest Starship, so I Became a Space Mercenary."
  • The MC doesn’t experience any power trips (he won’t get any stronger). You won’t find wishful thinking or wet dreams for insecure here; What I want to say is that there will be no face-slapping or other toxic elements.
This novel is a... more>> space opera with a touch of misunderstanding. If you’re still eager to read this novel after my review, that’s your choice. Just remember, if you approach it without high expectations, you might enjoy it <<less
