Re: Life in a different world starting from zero
出典 : Amazon.co.jp
It is based on a popular novel by Novelist Naroaro, which was adapted into a TV anime in 2016.
It is a story about the main character, Natsuki Subaru, who has been reincarnated in another world and uses his “return to death” ability to seek the best path while repeatedly suffering a bad ending.
The story of success through failures and setbacks has been the high road in many works for a long time, and it tends to be avoided in recent years, but this work makes use of the characteristics of returning to death to depict the setbacks in a more horrific and graphic way, and on top of that, by making it a “past that didn’t exist for anyone other than the protagonist”, the tragic feeling of the protagonist is strengthened.
This gives the story depth and makes it a masterpiece that draws the audience in.
