OK, I see you, mister author.
After Ice waifu, fire waifu.

All I could hear was:
"Watch out, watch out, watch out!"
"duuut dut dut duuuuuu!"

I was exited by this perspective, so I reread this story to make sure, but if the author had a lore in mind when he started the story, and he keeps it going without changing the fundamentals, I don't see this being true.
I'm pretty sure the original owner of the body is completely dead.
Also, the MC was isekai'd in the year 2000 in a Japan really similar to ours, without magic or super powers.
The technology is way more advanced in this current world, and magic doesn't seem like something new at all, but really ancestral and prominent in the society.

So no, they aren't the same person, but it would be fun if they actually more or less fused their minds, and he becomes a bit of both Takerus, friendly and nice to everyone with a huge mana pool, but also confident and skilled, with the actual means of using that magic pool.

OK, so, when the MC says "I'll burn it all" he means "I'll burn it all with napalm, then nuke the place, salt the lands, destroy the ecosystem, level the mountains and plug the volcanoes"
Good.

OK, so... about the people present in this chapter.
Teacher was being assaulted by a sexy busty student, but wouldn't touch her.
She finally broke him on her last day of school, and he pretty much ravaged her like an hungry wolf. They are officially together now.

The other girl is an idol. She was a cheerleader in school, and her best male friend was a bench-warmer for his baseball team.
He became her barrier, protecting her from unsolicited love confessions.
Once she decided to become an Idol, he decided to support her as much as possible, and he is clearly sexually attracted to her (she seems to be also, but is completely unaware of her own feelings it seems).
The thing is, the dude has mad respect for idols, and once she became one, she became "everyone's idol, but no-one's girl", and he would never touch her romantically or sexually.

The thing is, she likes teasing him, and can only really relax with him around, so she is constantly loitering in his apartment. They got caught by paparazzi near the building where he lives, but strangely, people don't seem to mind her having a boyfriend... but they actually aren't romantically involved, just really really really close friends.


This series is pretty much "how to torture good men until they can't hold it anymore" with multiple couples:
The Shinto priest and his almost adoptive sister.
The idol and her protector.
The teacher and his student.
The adult office worker and the random highschool girl.
The office senpai and his younger protégé.

And all girls are incredibly busty.

Ok, this confirms it, the author just completely forgot that this was supposed to be a flashback from the perspective of the MC, not the detective...

What a mess of a story... If this was written to make us empathize with the detective, I don't think it's working.
This just proves that she's an obstacle, impeding plans to actually save people and punish miscreants, she doesn't seem to be able to use her "genius intellect" for much, clearly judging the MC before checking for proof, and believing rumors spread by people she knows are unreliable...
This just showed that the MC lived through tragedies after tragedies... and made me even more attached to him.
He could decide that from now on, his new personality will be Mr. Hyde, killing left and right, and I would probably still root for him.

"Come, i'll explain everything, but it'll take some time."
Proceeds to explain nothing at all.

What a pointless chapter.

Ohhhh, that thawed my kokoro.

Ok.
Usually Manwha titles are over-exaggerated or just complete lie.

Not this one tho, like, how many gods did he actually train... like, all of them?!?

3 years... they "paused" the serialization for 3 years, for a mid story, with mid art and mid characters.
I think this one would have probably been better dead...

I don't know if this is a lesbian romance story or just a BFF story.
It's seems to me that Flatchested Abs just got proposed by Curvy Cow.
And Frustrated Blond Elf is clearly in love with Demon Teacher, and has been for a while.
Black/White Hair and Shark Teeth seem strangely close sometimes too.

Everyone of the old generation seem to have lesbian tendencies, while at least 3 of the girls from the new generation like the MC.

Also, I know the MC doesn't particularly like to cosplay himself, but adding him as Ashford to the group would be interesting, I think...

I kinda like that even though the MC has an overwhelming power advantage over everyone, he usually uses cunning and strategy to beat them.
But it seems that this time, he will just destroy them, just plain old violence.

Good.

And here we go again.
A mage hero forced to fight without using magic.

It's really the dumbest trope I've seen in recent years...

OK, so Lucifer, who apparently killed Satan to become the ruler of Hell, just killed Satan's meme with the invincible meme lord Lloyd!

I see so much healing in the future.
This seems really interesting.

How will the MC mature and learn to forgive his family for sins they haven't committed yet, and will probably never commit now?
Will the patriarch try to correct his ways for all his kids?
What are the actual personalities of the member of this family, without the MC's victimhood biases?
How will the MC connect his newfound real family to his adoptive barbarian family?

We have our final objective, kill the remaining demons before they open the door of the apocalypse, but how we get there seems mighty engaging to me right now.

Wait wait wait...
The MC wants to use the new tower ability he found, the one that can cast magic barriers over the whole continent... but that's also the one that can pretty much nuke the whole continent, right?
And he wants to use it as a "deterrent", right? Meaning he wants to instill fear in his potential enemies...
Soooo... will he just nuke the whole fleet, or just around them or something?

Also, isn't being a FUCKING LIVING GOD enough of a deterrent already?!?

Yeaaaah, whatever.
You can't hide your incompetence as a writer by admitting it in your own work.
"But I heard that communication is important with married couples"... no shit.

Manga/Manwha are kinda famous for issues that would be solved in seconds if people actually talked to each other, but this one takes the cake.
The whole story is based of their inability to communicate. Even Komi-san seems to have less trouble, and that's the title of her whole story...

Ending the season on this BS is leaving a sour taste in my mouth.
So sour, in fact, that I might puke. I think I'd better drop this, or leave it aside for a year or two.

I really really fucking hate this new trope showing up in a lot of manwha now...
Enemy: "We will fight, but for a dumbass reason, you can't use your powers, summons, allies, weapons or anything that actually makes you... you"
MC: "OK!"

I mean, what's the point of fighting the MC without his MAIN ABILITY.
"Oh, but that would be unfair, it's 2 against one!"... no shit, that the actual power of the MC, and that shouldn't be 2vs1, but 2000vs1.

And the worst part is that the first thing she does is summon a mechanical helper.


If you're gonna ripoff Samus Aran and Tony Stark, at least make the character cool, not... this...

Wah, so fun...
"I'm losing, I'll have to use ALL MY POWER"
"Oh no, we are losing, we'll use ALL OUR POWER"
"Oh no, I'm losing again, let's use ALL MY POWER for real this time"
This is getting boring as hell... I hope this ends next chapter... and a real ending, not a "Oh no, he escaped by using another hidden special power" bullshit...
