The first half of this manga was alright. I enjoyed the 'sent back with future memories' aspect of the story. However, it falls off partway through and stopped being enjoyable. The plot became more confusing and it ended abruptly without a satisfying resolution. The premise is similar to 'Shinimodori: When I'm Reborn, I'll Become the Strongest to Save the World!'I'd recommend that manga over this one.

A dark revenge isekai where the protagonist goes back in time to change a future where all his friends and families are killed off in horrible ways (blood, gore, and everything) causing the MC to spend his entire life to becoming crazy strong before eventually dying to the forces of evil. The interesting thing is the MC isn't even the strongest person at the end of his life, but only one of the strong foot soldiers following some god-like heroes duking it out with the evil army. He feels helpless, desperate, and outmatched at every point of his previous life and barely hangs on the entire course of the war from start to finish. Him getting a second chance was one of the most refreshing and best things about reading the story. And him trying to make a difference, attempting to change the future, and god forbid actually telling his parents he's from the future and them believing him. Set it apart from other shows where you get frustrated why in gods name don't more time-traveling characters tell important people things they should know to avoid a disaster. If there is anything bad about it. It's that the story gets bogged down and you'd wish things happened quicker. I think its been stuck in the school arc way too long for example. In all its a great read if you are looking for a good isekai story to sink your teeth into.

I have been reading similar mangas and manhwas, and to be honest, this one was the least enjoyable. First half, you actually have a feeling of potential, but the second half and the manga ending like that... I never did such a strong facepalm with a manga as this one. I really dont recommend. If you are looking for a set of "reviving with your memories" I would actually recommend: "The story of a low rank soldier becoming a monarch". The progression makes sense, the characters are well made, so far, quite good. Skip this one if you value your time.
