gegegek's creature designs do more heavy lifting here than the revenge plot does.
Spoiler-light · Honestly rated
Every review labels its spoiler level, separates art from writing, and ends with an official way to read.
We use the whole 1–10 scale and judge each title against the best version of what it is trying to be — a comedy on how funny it is, a thriller on its tension — not against some other genre. As a rough guide: 9+ is all-time great, 8 excellent, 7 a solid recommendation with caveats, 5–6 mixed or average. A 7 is a genuine yes, not a knock. The “Community score” in each review is the crowd rating from AniList, MAL, and MangaUpdates, shown next to ours for comparison.

The setup, landing your dream character and then waking up as the worst one instead, is a great joke that the story turns into real, escalating stakes.

Decade-plus into its run, still one of the more distinctive folklore fantasy epics running, built on a genuinely mythic sense of scale.

Cocky lead, dream-logic parallel world, and a dragon hunt that's more character piece than pure spectacle so far.

Quieter and more thoughtful than the premise suggests, built on ingenuity instead of a hidden cheat power.

Solid art wrapped around a zombie-system story that doesn't hold together as well as its premise promises.

The SSS-summoner hook is a genuinely fun idea buried under a lead whose choices keep working against the story instead of for it.

Strong comedic hook about a power fantasy pretending to be an underdog story, though it settles into more familiar action beats as it goes.

This is what the 'regression soldier' premise looks like when it's actually about war and command instead of just an excuse for power scaling.

The betrayal hook is sharp, but the first stretch plays its cards close before letting Seika's old power actually do anything interesting.

Blacksmithing as the engine of a regression story is a genuinely good angle; whether it stays interesting depends on what the series does with it from here.
