The main protagonist (the one on the cover, not the other 4) is excellent, they feel nuanced, affected by circumstance and are just a joy to watch cause chaos. The writer's sadism towards poor Benno is a bit much at times but it makes their twisted personality that much more interesting when compared to pre-reincarnation. Bravo!

Most other characters are well defined and show development over the story, their interactions are one of the main attractions and make the story very enjoyable at times.

Some people will be put off by how much the writer seems to be turned on by torturing poor Benno, I think it's fine because unlike most other parts, the author puts in effort to develop and explain its affects on Benno as a character and it makes the story more interesting but you do you.

Cons:

The author's sadism is only surpassed by their need for constant time-skips and page-long exposition that takes 3 paragraphs to say: 'they got magic glowy lamps'. My theory that the author is a extra-dimensional entity outside the realms of time have only been pushed back because the last few chapters have been much more reasonable. But in the early story you'll be dealing with at least 3 timelines and as many as 5 when the story picks up, some being scantly mentioned, others being detailed enough for a volume and the rest getting enough time-skips to make you wonder how the protags still act the way they do after decades of existing in this world.

A minor gripe: Amy and May's names are too similar especially since beyond the very promising prologue, May gets like 0 character and is just there. Maybe a unique relationship with Benno? Something about how they joked that they'd be a couple if they both weren't guys but now May is conflicted because Benno acts and is like a child. Just something to make her more interesting, the lost potential from the prologue is killing me.

The grammar is passable at best, some bits are fine others less so, not much to be said.

Too much effort and detail in parts that barely matter, none at all where it does, the author is talented but rambles about world-building whilst ignoring characters and filling for it with multi-year time-skips instead of making every paragraph count.

The stats barely matter and imo should just get shelved, the story doesn't need them, they affect nothing except show their unique abilities and how 'tough' Benno is for getting tortured for years which we already know. Maybe they can get more development, a very minor inconvenience.

TL:DR: You don't get a tl:dr, f**k you; if you can't read this review you won't survive the exposition so go read your happy-go-lucky self insert harem power fantasy elsewhere.

This story is real f**ked up and sadistic. MC basically lives through Final Destination where all his friends sure one by one and he can't die. Then he get reincarnated in the wrong continent by God B and tortured for years.

But the "good" god A (the one that killed all his friends on Earth) fixes his soul the second he reunites with his friends so what was the point of the torture if it gets magically healed by God.

Also, somehow no one is angry that god killed them all horror movie style. Really should be a revenge tale about killing the gods.
