Oh God. Not another one of those animes. Is this going to slowly become a trend? You know, the one whereby a decently powerful main character who isn’t satisfied with his current situation, goes to reincarnate himself in the distant future for better prospects. And of course with the future being so far ahead, lots of things have changed and how everything else has become weaker. Well if you think of Maou Gakuin No Futekigousha and Shikkakumon No Saikyou Kenja, I don’t blame you because has very similar vibes. So similar that you wonder if people are running out of original ideas. Sighs. And just like the title says, the most powerful Demon Lord in the land is so powerful that he is bored so he reincarnates himself as a nobody in the future. WTF… But hey, still not that spiteful isekai trope, right? Or is it?
Definitely I am not impressed with the story because as already said, this reincarnation thing is already getting stale at this moment. In fact, the story and plot feel like it is all over the place and nothing really concrete. Unlike Maou Gakuin No Futekigousha and Shikkakumon No Saikyou Kenja in which the main characters have a goal to achieve, be it for everlasting peace or become a stronger version of himself, this one really falls flat because well, he just got bored after being at the apex of the pyramid. With no challenge or natural enemy to challenge him, he decided to reincarnate to something less powerful and live a normal life. Like, WTF???!!! Sure, might sound a bit refreshing considering in many stories, the goal is to level up and become stronger. But in this case, it is not so. Although Ard still maintains many of his power ups so he is still the same overpowered character as before. So yeah, does it not feel so f*cked up or not?
