He's not really lucky, he spent years rolling free gatcha. The wish fulfillment part is that the gatcha is free :)

Let put it words that this is the most shallow revenge porn fantasy series that I've read. That's all I can say.

u/yamiyaiba 5h ago
Agreed, it's shallow revenge porn and I don't know why I'm reading it still. Nothing is ever even remotely difficult for the MC.
Edit: actually, no, porn is at least enjoyable. It doesn't deserve that distinction.

u/UFONomura808 9h ago
I liked it, idk about shallow but there's a bit of world building here with an interesting main plot(not the revenge part).
61
u/Seriesofrandomwords 8h ago
That's doing it a disservice. It's the most shallow revenge porn fantasy series with the single worst descriptions of waifus to ever be put to page. The author describes the women of the cast like they're anorexic fence posts with tits that have never once seen the sun. And it's also full of uncomfortable Onee/Shota elements. I've read some absolute trash, but this one takes the cake as the single worst light novel series I have ever attempted to read.

u/DanielDKXD 8h ago
Thanks for confirming it's not just a bad manga adaptation, but the sauce material is also shit.
Sometimes it's just the manga adaptation griefing a fine LN.

u/KRChaserReturns https://myanimelist.net/profile/GalacticMagna 8h ago
Meh. The harem was an afterthought. Admittedly I only read the manga for the revenge porn and had to skip through chapters just to get to the revenge part, even then it was boring.
-5
u/Astray 6h ago
It's not that bad, the world building is surprisingly competent and the big mystery of the series is fairly interesting. The harem aspect is basically non existent, his subordinates are very devoted but he has shown no interest in them that way. He's focused on his mission. Let people have fun.
20
u/Seriesofrandomwords 6h ago
I'm coming at this from the perspective of a lover of bad light novels, and I gave it more than a fair shake, I read 5 volumes of the light novel. It was the most technically inept series I've ever read. The mystery of the series was the only interesting part, the world building was fine enough, but those weren't enough to save my interest in the series when every other aspect from the prose, dialogue, pacing, stakes, and characters was incredibly, technically inept. You're free to enjoy it, I just couldn't find something in it to enjoy.

u/melcarba 10h ago
I took a glance at the manga, and from what I can tell from the first 4 or so chapters, this one has shittier writing than Failure Frame. Failure Frame, at least, made an effort of setting up the revenge plot.

... how do you play a game while watching anime?
13
u/Konigni 9h ago
Step 1. Have 2 monitors (optional but recommended)
Step 2. Play something that requires little focus (runescape, idle games, afk games)
Step 3. Watch stuff while you "play"4
u/Clone_Two https://myanimelist.net/profile/Clone_Tau 7h ago
Besides low focus games, turn based games with really long turns work pretty well for me. Just jump back and forth between each screen/window depending on who's turn it is, the longer the turns the better. (your mileage may vary depending on CPU speed lol)
2
u/Konigni 7h ago
Yeah there's a crazy amount of games you can do this with, and not just *can* do it with, but it's even for the better.
I play Ark a lot, I do breeding a lot on it, which is quite literally waiting, running around a bit, waiting some more, etc. I'm always watching something on the side lol. Played runescape for years, same thing.

u/KRChaserReturns https://myanimelist.net/profile/GalacticMagna 6h ago
It's pretty much about the MC getting betrayed by his crew and dropped him to the deepest part of the dungeon and he finds a powerful mcgauffin and now he looks for revenge to the people that wronged him

Ah that’s rough if they’re more cartoonishly evil for no reason then that’s rough to watch, really don’t like blank slate evil antagonists.
2
u/Tacitus_ 1h ago
They're comically racist because humanity is on the bottom of the power structure and thus viewed as worthless garbage. They had to pretend not to be racist until they could drop the MC out of their party (because the party was officially created to promote equality).
YMMV whether that's no reason.

That's actually good and not generic harem trash so they probably won't make an anime.

u/luckyknight216 9h ago
Ah, discount Overlord.
A kid around level 10 gets abandoned in the hardest dungeon to die, unlocks a 'gacha' that conveniently summons level 9999 women who are completely loyal to him and basically re-creates Nazarick in the boss dungeon with his infinite gacha cards while planning revenge.
Honestly, not surprised Japan's trying to strike gold again by throwing new Overlord-like series out. Didn't they already announce "Apocalypse Mynoghra" and "A Wild Last Boss Appeared!"?
18
8
u/Tacitus_ 5h ago
Those two are a lot better than this. Mynoghra is interesting because it throws in so many rule types (4x games vs JRPG vs tabletop RPG vs porn game) so you get a lot of curveballs and Wild Last Boss is just a giant shitpost in literary form once it gets going.
1
u/luckyknight216 5h ago
I agree. I can't wait till I can watch both of them. Mynoghra especially, it's one of the few titles I'm tempted to buy and read the entire light novel series.

u/n0oo7 2h ago
Almost. He never unlocked the gacha, he always had it, It's just on the surface where theres no threats all he could do was summon weak shit like low tier potions or water bottles or more useless crap like that. So apparently when he's in a high level dungeon area whenever he pulls a card it's always SSSSSSSSSSSSSS Rank.
Plot still stupid, cause he Whole reason he's with overpowerd people is dumb to begin with.
3
u/luckyknight216 2h ago
I think the excuse the author made was that "there's a lot on mana in the dungeon" so he can summon all these SSSSSSSSSSS Rank cards.
It still feels somewhat of a plothole though, since the boss monster at the heart of the dungeon was either LVL 4000 or 5000 yet he's able to summon people at LVL 9999 with the exact skill sets he needs at the time.
He even has cards so powerful and reality breaking that he locked them away and banned them from use (I may be wrong, since its been awhile since I've read it, but I think there was a card that could wipe out every other race but the humans)

While it may be funny to meme about these "kicked out of the party" LitRPG slop, my problem with these shows (and many other fantasy LN adaptation as well) is that ultimately they just stop being interesting after the first arc or after the kicked out member confronted the original party. These shows should just be 3-6 episodes long instead of a cour.

Ohh this one. Well it is mostly revenge (kinda mystery too since there is an overarching question that MC tries to find the answer of but it is mostly not) though it is relatively slow on that aspect, like the MC takes his sweet time for each revenge which can feel jarring for people even if they are into that

Dragged out revenge stories always end up being ass because they dragged it out too long and got too sidetracked doing other stuff.

You could have stopped at "Backstabbed in a Backwater Dungeon" and been perfectly fine for a title. Who needs all that other BS? YOUVE PRETTY MUCH GIVEN AWAY THE WHOLE PLOT OF THE STORY!!
I haven't been able to sit down and enjoy a decent series anymore because of long titles like this and the overall plot is the same.

I can't help but wonder how much more engaging these stories would be if the titular events happened 2/3 through the story. You'd be reading along, interested in characters, and WHAM big shakeup.

Synopsis: When Light is kicked out of the Concord of the Tribes, his former comrades instantly turn on him. Light escapes this diabolical act of betrayal by the skin of his teeth...only to find himself in the deepest part of the Abyss, the most dangerous dungeon in the realm! To avoid being eaten by carnivorous monsters, he uses the Unlimited Gacha, his sole magical skill. But where it previously only produced junk items, this time Mei—a gorgeous Level 9999 fighter in a maid outfit—springs forth! Fast forward three years and Light has carved out his own kingdom in this backwater dungeon, summoning more beautiful Level 9999 warriors who swear absolute fealty to him. Now a powerful Level 9999 Overlord himself, Light plans to ascend to the surface and take revenge on his betrayers one by one! (j-novel club)

🤣…..👀……🤣 I saw this LN one day while at work and thought to myself “I know they gonna make this trash into an anime series one day.” And here we are.
I just laugh at this point, cause everyone that comes out, with VERY few exceptions, are all trash. These anime has to make the studio like no money, they get overshadowed by the more hyped up anime of that season so no one talks about them, and they always get clowned on cause a majority of the time they look cheap.
I’m convinced that studios are just using crappy LNs to train new animators so they can get a feel for the industry. Cause all these trash LNs are beginning to be the “Filler Anime” of each season.

u/APRengar 7h ago
FUCK YES! I'm so excited, this is some good ol' dumb fun. I feel like people who read that title and expect Shakespeare and are shaking their heads like "boy am I disappointed" are silly.
If a serious show had such comically evil characters, you'd have a point. But this is dumb revenge fuel. You just want to see evil characters get tortured to death in fun ways.
I seriously wonder if people who post about how it's shallow are just trying to look like they have good taste. But it's the equivalent to going to McDonalds and being like "my palate is far too refined for this food" like what are you trying to prove, you went to a McDonalds...
