Junpei Takeda, a high school student, is childhood friends with Noriko Tatsumiya and the bully Kido Shouta. One day, during the usual course of bullying Junpei, they were suddenly summoned to a different world by the whim of "God". Summoned Heroes with cheats, or so he thought. But it turns out Junpei's stats were even worse than an average farmer. Tricked into a deathly labyrinth by the only one he trust, he walks the journey for revenge.

My Opinion: 33 chapters, Completed Series, No English Publisher

This is a very dark RPG dungeon dive story that is initially setup like many Isekai stories. A group of teens are teleported from their world to another, only in this case it's by a megalomaniac deity who is bored and very cruel. The main character (MC), Junpei, is given substandard starting stats while his bully classmates are given nicely boosted ones along with powerful classes. Once on the new world, the MC clings to his humanity despite the hardship of the world and pairs with the one childhood friend that was brought to the world. He’s tricked into sacrificing himself to a dungeon and that starts the cruel, brutal journey of a guy hell bent on revenge. Most of the story takes place in the dungeon and the MC has to fight these terribly powerful monsters and gradually give up everything that makes him human in pursuit of his goal. There’s lots of fighting, levels, abilities, and dark and tragic stories along the way. Yet, the ending is pretty satisfying once you get there and this is one of the few magas I’ve read with an actual clear ending.

Overall a good read, if you are ok with gore, and dark themes.

Score: 7.7 out of 10
