Shijou Saikyou no Daimaou, Murabito A ni Tensei Suru

Attachment 1960

"* Based on a fantasy humorous light novel series written by Katou Myojin and illustrated by Mizuno Sao.

As the most powerful entity of all time, the Demon Lord Varvatos thinks life is a big fat snore. When he takes matters into his own hands and decides to reincarnate, he calibrates his magical strength to be perfectly average. But there is no way he could have predicted that everyone in the modern world would be weak as hell, which means he is totally overpowered once again! Reborn under the name Ard, he has ladies fawning over him, the royal family begging him to become the next king, and an ex-minion insisting on killing him?! But Ard has a one-track mind, and he won't stop at anything to achieve his ultimate goal!

...Not great. Not even good. Another "demon lord/super mage gets reincarnated and pwns everyone" harem(?) fantasy. You can actually see where the vestiges of its premise and what little originality it promised melt away by the start of episode 2. Demon lord wants a friend, but is, you guessed it, socially autistic, and scares people away until he earns a pet tsundere during a monster attack. Then, after a three year time skip is now in magic academy without any hint of an indication that he continued trying to make friends... you know... his stated life goal and reason for dying in the first place. But he still acts like he wants to make more friends. The storytelling couldn't be lazier. Just more power fantasy tripe. Is the new trend, I've noticed, making characters so overpowered that their removal from the world reduces the standards of competence itself? What a strangely specific flex, as if these LN authors couldn't come up with any interesting ways to demonstrate their OP character's power. Do yourself a favor and forget this thread exists.
