Not to kick an author after they already cried on Narou, but if you're going to write about a character being tortured, the absolute minimum you have to do is look at actual documents regarding the torture of PoWs and so on.

This child has survived straight up mu*der attempts and all he uses it for is some big "woe is me I can look out for myself", basically? The torture he talks about would have literally killed him at six years old, but somehow it's EdgePoints to talk about how... more>> you survived it to some old dude who's looking out for you or whatever.

The harem in this is also succeeding in being so barren of real human thought and feelings that I'm surprised it even got ten volumes in publication. I've never met any woman, teen or otherwise, who acts as terminally insane as this cast does.

The sheer fact people keep translating it is the entirety of my rating. You're a monument to inspire people on the ideal of Perseverance. <<less

The story is a great concept and that's why I chose it. Too bad the delivery of it leaves a lot to be desired.

Add to that, the TL group claims to have an editor, but the evidence proves otherwise. That may have been true for the first, and maybe, second volumes. But after that, there is now way - it reads as straight MTL. It went from having about a 25-30% syntax and grammar error rate, to a more than 50%, with some chapters being down right almost unreadable. Yeah,... more>> as a teacher, I'd have given it a 74%, or a D+, in the beginning, but by the time I dropped it, it was only a 5% for a grade. (US grading scale - anything under 70% = failure)

Yet, every chapter lists having an editor, with some chapters almost being a book in itself from the TL. Who wants/needs that? Needless to say, in the end, the TL group turned into a bunch of liars. I'm so glad that I listened to my gut and withheld donating.

This might have been another good story that just got ruined by another bad TL group, though I question that, as the author seemed to contradict himself quite a bit.

Also, the genre tagging may be wrong. This is more shounen than seinen. Yes, there is gore, but not anymore than you'd find in other shounen, but the story reads on the level of a middle schooler with the same shounen dialogue and cliches - almost sickening. (I hate shounen as they all read the same with the same over used dialogue, over used cliches, and overused comedy, though this one is without the comedy) <<less

Terrible. Honestly terrible. If the first chapter deceived you into reading this. Think again.

Cause this is a tr*sh story. The characters are annoying and the plot is so boring it pains me. Especially the girls who jjst fawn over MC for no reason at all.

Ugh I lost braincells reading this.

Don't waste your time

I really like the story through the manga and the novel to 38 is decent. The translation is a bit difficult to get through in places. I really didnt like a few things that happened in the novel vs the manga. The new arc around chapter 38 (not sure exactly which chapter starts it) is garbage, and was the last straw for me having already gotten sick of a few really frustrating things that were getting on my nerves. In short issues with the MC acting like a beta.

... more>>

Spoiler

Basically my discontent revolves around many dumb choices the MC makes. In a few places by now some npc's grope the mc's girls without the MC doing anything about it. (One even winks at the MC while clearly perving out about the girl and MC just stands there - Seriously MAN UP or you dont deserve the girls in the first place. *Angry sigh*) I also didnt like the interactions the MC has with the adventurers guild I felt that he wasn't reacting as he should have to other peoples deception/manipulation.

[collapse]

In short, he goes back and forth between being an OP alpha type to being a doormat beta, as previously stated. <<less

Funny how the author just changes a characters personality willy nilly. Well there is no character development at all so lets just dump all that in the bin. Awful time skip that suddenly changes the genre to city building.

Fine novel but still I'm going to drop it.

This is a generic reincarnated story based on a MC that was ab*sed by his family to death, literally. The premise is interesting and the developement is also. I'm not going to say that it's great but it's entertaining. You have a likeable female lead, a sometimes frustrating but still cute male lead and an edgy plot of revenge. The game-like levels and skills system is overused in these kind of stories but still it fulfills its mission of stating the differences... more>> between characters and making it easy to grasp how powerful or how weak said character is. Something that can be questioned about the developement of the MC is that he is too mature for his age without something to back it up (e.g. he was an adult in his previous life and when he reincarnated he became a child). It is true that people in hostile environments mature faster but this is still a 12 years old... But then, this is just my personal opinion and it will not affect the flow of the novel.

Now, despite everything I have said about the novel, the reason I'm dropping this is because its translation is so inacurate it's unbearable. It's true that a professional translator doesn't translates everything in a "literal" way, otherwise we would miss on jokes and proverbs or manners of speaking of the characters and in the worst cases miss a key point in the plot. But there is interpretation and other completely different is taking liberties at translate something. And starting by the title. The title translates easily to "The Deprivers and the Deprived" as in one of the "Alternative titles" (I really think that this should become the main title), and it goes nowhere near to "To Deprive a Deprived Person" this is just shameless. Next we have the story... if you read a little in japanese the chapters you quickly realize that "Rebirth Online World" did a lousy job in translate, whether it be lack of knowledge, MT or simply because laziness.

In other words, this is a nice story mu*dered by the translator.

Addendum: It might have gotten better in subsequent chapters but I really got turned off by the early translations. <<less

Basically a worse version of Death March. Yes we know the MC is mega op. But what saves these sort novels are not the MC who we are supposedly supposed to take the viewpoint of. But are the amazing side characters of which this novel has none of. Perhaps I was just to disappointed by the first main-side-character who had the one track of mind of if their against the MC they are dead. With which I reply don't you have any goals for yourself? All the death march characters... more>> were just sooo good. <<less

This novel.. is shallow at best is how I would describe it.. The MC in his first world was deprived.. whoo.. and in his second world he almost became deprived.. errr... He meets waifu's and starts to deprive others.. Errrr okay then..

The translation is from Machine's (Yes like google, bing, ect..) so its not really a translation per say.. :/

Recommended if someone has legit nothing else to read.

Deprive ends small to describe what the MC lived, or more likely, suffered in his previous life, instead of dying he found himself in a different world. RPG elements, strange movements behind the presented story.

MC quickly grows stronger by stealing other people’s skills and abilities, trains himself a harem of powerful girls that quickly fall in love with him.

Some comedy, a lot of adventure, not bad story. Superficial warning, Translation is not the best, some unedited parts can be hard to read.

The series isn't offensively bad or anything, but it has a bad habit of making assumptions about the world that have not been explained to the readers. Yes, this MC has a very good cheat ability, but that alone is not enough to explain some of the things he does. There's no reason he should be able to do some of the things he does.

Characters are also pretty inconsistent. No matter what kind of varied backstory the female cast are introduced with (trauma, desire for revenge, goals of grandeur), they all end up as generic worshipers of the MC who also totally love him within the first five minutes of joining up.

The story is kind of fun to read if you turn off your brain and stop asking questions about why characters do or don't do certain things. Honestly, I am not sure whether to give this 2 or 3 stars. As of where I am right now, I did enjoy the series well enough so I feel like 2 would be too low, but also the series is kind of just coasting on momentum and even massive conspiracies are barely registering on my interest meter anymore. I will go ahead and leave 3 stars to represent my current level of enjoyment, but I fully anticipate the series to go downhill from here. I think I will drop it here

Really poorly written. The clichés are all it has going for it. The characters are incomprehensibly joined together. The protagonist is a typical edgelord. Feels like it was written by a 12-yr-old.

I really enjoyed this one... for the first 100 or so chapters. An interesting story with engaging characters and systems I enjoyed. It ticked multiple boxes and I chain read the first 120 chapters in a couple of days. Then the author just seems to have given up on maintaining a coherent plot. The leveling system and skill deprivation system (on which the novel is based) is essentially dropped. MC vanishes for a while and comes back super leveled but all discussion of skills is abandoned. The plot then moves... more>> onto some sort of kingdom building arc but it is completely disjointed. Important things happen off screen and are briefly mentioned now and then. Floods of new characters are introduced for no other purpose than padding out a chapter. Events stumble from one to the other with no coherent flow, the main characters can be mid way through a conversation then a flood of side characters barge in and spout nonsense and thats it.

Ive taken to skimming chapters looking for actual plot and do find the odd chapter that actually has a point to it but thus far it appears all the world building, skill systems and the very essence of the novel has been abandoned by this point (c180).

Right now its only morbid curiosity and the vague hope that the author pulls it together thats keeping me skimming. <<less

DADP starts with an intriguing premise of an ab*sed child who becomes OP in a new world. The problem with this story is that, in my view, the author doesn't understand how to depict this sort of character. Instead, the story ends up becoming a worship-harem, if you will. But the MC lacks the emotional capability to accept his followers in a meaningful way. Eventually, the story loses steam because it seems to be a ship sailing nowhere.

For the start, it didn't start so badly. It's going pretty good with your average Japanese novel about revenge, harem and etc. And I'm really enjoying reading this novel. But as we going along until in like c150, the story becomes declined, so generic and boring and I can't find myself reading until the end.

Too many characters beside MC that got into the story and the author did not give a proper introduction to them and I have to trace them back again. The heroines.. Well they are lacking some... more>> building which myself thinking, they are pretty useless. They don't have standing point and can't support make the MC to make some amazing journey. The point is, the heroines just dragging back the MC to the point where the usual MC that gives some cool images just to like some husband that got submit to their wives.

It's pretty sad, for this novel that had a pretty good start to jumping along so bad like this in the end. There are some opportunity at first, but I guess it's just an imagination for good and proper endings <<less

Review as of Ch.30.

Reminiscent of Legendary Moonlight Sculptor, Re:Monster and Death March, in that there are a lot of stat windows. Lots of them, in every chapter. The prose is a mess and I feel for the translator trying to polish it and make it more understandable for the reader. The PoV often jumps here and there and the translator is helpful enough to provide notifications who is speaking what and even provides summaries when a particular chunk of action or paragraphs might appear confusing which is a boon due... more>> to it being a machine translation.

The dialogue is very Spartan and functional. You read it and it’s easy to get what the author is trying to convey, it is simplistic and it feels like a tv episode script instead of a novel. Descriptions are sparse and assumes you already have a general idea how such RPG-like stories go. It is obviously an unpolished web-novel as there are things like skill names being changed from one chapter to another, causing confusion to the translator and editor.

It’s an average time filler, slightly better than Re:Monster but not as good as the other two examples mentioned. The Legendary Moonlight Sculptor is an epic grinding yarn, Death March is a fluffy jaunt. This title feels like someone’s first attempt in the same genre. Grimgal of Ashes and Illusion is a more professional effort if you’re looking for something more polished.

Is this worth reading? If you like reading an almost day-to-day description of a small party traveling and leveling up together, then sure. The MC isn’t as ridiculous as Re:Monster (edit: haha scratch that), the story isn’t as colorful as Death March, the text and writing style isn’t as thick as The Legendary Moonlight Sculptor. But it seems to improve chapter by chapter, and you might get some enjoyment out of investing your time in reading it.

Edit: Update of Ch. 95. The plot is still pretty generic thus far, but the atmosphere has darkened considerably. People who enjoy the dark style of Overlord can find similarities in the descriptions of violence here. You can expect minor characters who are given names to die horribly quite soon. The prose has improved tremendously, and the translation quality (still machine translated) has followed suit, though the original source remains unpolished (the translator's comments show how the author sometimes get mixed up or forgets what happened earlier). Will continue to read. <<less

Honestly speaking, if you love re:monster, you are gonna love this novel. It reminds me of re:monster so much and I love it so much because the MC is just completely broken later in the novel.

same old premise of game element world but I like it

seito yuu character is a child ab*sed victim. Who his parent beat the crap out of him (like most bad parent in anime series)

his quality trait. He is quite smart. I would not say genius but there is moments he understand the game system.

he is consistent and productive. He is always spared his time to increased his survival with team like making potion, alchemy, inovitive magic techinique, read books and doing house works. He absolutely cold to his... more>> enemies. Do cared about people depend how you treated him and how long.

he sway to the ladies with his big thick creamy sweet

Spoiler

CAKES!. You thought I was about to say dick?. You pe*vert he is still a kid.

[collapse]

. The guy quite understand people intentions. He is not dense like f*cking ichika.

he does not talk romanticlly much to the ladies. The romance delevopment between him and the harem quite easy. I kinda wish more delevopment. He is a badass. There is moment of struggle. Yet it is to little.

the side characters are bit overshadow by the MC. After 100 chpt. I hope there more story other characters beside the MC.

ok, the translation is not perfect but readable. There a bit flaw in the sentences. End to close guess. The translator promised he be more relied to japanesse education than machine translators in the future. <<less

Well, it’s not the best novel about someone transported but the quality (of the novel + the translation) is peaking up. But I wouldn’t be as radical as down below.

To deprive a deprived person is in fact pretty simple, it’s a long title for a very basic pitch. Because of all the depriving he suffered, he gains the skill called “depriver” which allows him to take skills from people. It’s what most transported MCs are capable of.

While the story is a bit random, the meetings are really coincidental and end... more>> up a bit ridiculous but still, the MC overshadows largely the side characters so no big deal ^^. It’s a pretty enjoyable story, not on the level of Tensei Shittara and Skill’s Taker, but Death March level at least (well much better but between the two levels). I really enjoy game elements novel and it's one of the prime examples of that so thumbs up ! <<less
