## My Thoughts on *Kaifuku Jutsushi no Yarinaoshi ~ Sokushi Mahou to Skill Copy no Choetsu Heal* ### First Impressions Okay, let's dive into *Kaifuku Jutsushi no Yarinaoshi*. Going in, I knew this was going to be a ride. The premise of a healer, brutally wronged, going back in time for revenge isn't exactly subtle. What I found was definitely a mixed bag. It's a novel that seems to polarize readers, and I can definitely see why. ### What Works Well There's a certain raw appeal here. The initial hook of the MC's suffering and subsequent quest for vengeance is undeniably compelling. Some find the author's willingness to go to extreme lengths in depicting the protagonist's dark path refreshing, especially if you're tired of the typical "nice guy" MC. The cunning and resourcefulness of the main character were aspects that I found interesting. I also appreciate that the story doesn't shy away from the darker aspects of its premise. ### Areas of Concern However, the execution is where things get tricky. A recurring complaint is the inconsistent character development and world-building. The MC's actions can sometimes feel arbitrary, and his justifications for revenge often seem flimsy. I saw a lot of comments about the story's reliance on shock value and the rather… underdeveloped nature of the mature content. Several readers pointed out that the story often skips over potentially impactful scenes, leaving them feeling shallow. ### ⚠️ Spoiler Warning Some points I've come across from other readers touch on specific plot points that could ruin the experience. I'm talking about things like the handling of Princess Flare, the twists surrounding other characters, and the ultimate fate of certain villains. ### Final Verdict Ultimately, *Kaifuku Jutsushi no Yarinaoshi* is a difficult novel to recommend widely. If you're looking for a nuanced exploration of revenge and its consequences, this probably isn't it. However, if you're in the mood for a dark, unapologetic power fantasy with a protagonist who makes no pretense of being a good person, you might find something to enjoy here. Just be prepared for inconsistencies, questionable morality, and a plot that sometimes prioritizes shock value over substance. For me, it's a solid **2.5/5**. It has moments of brilliance, but the flaws are too glaring to ignore.
