About this listen

I always figured I’d eventually get killed in my line of work. I just assumed I’d stay dead at that point.

I was the one people hired to do the killing, after all. I knew a thing or two about how death worked. So when I was finally taken down during a high-profile hit, I was ready to embrace death with open arms.

Except I didn’t fully die.

Not yet, at least.

Some crazy afterlife system seems to have had me on its radar for a while now, and I’ve just been recruited to kill my way through a whole different world like it is a demented video game. A game filled with corrupt slumlords, shadowed alleyways, and hulking, superpowered brute villains to murder.

This is my new assignment. My new world. My new purgatory. If I choose a Class and level my way up out of here, I could have a second chance at existence.

But I never was one for following the rules. I’d much rather unlock my own damn Class, murder my targets any way I please, and get the hell back to Earth as fast as I can.

Or die trying. Again.

Intelligent assassin isekai. It was enjoyable but I found it a bit slow. The MC was very methodical which slows the pacing down. It was also a little stat heavy for my liking.

Good story

The main character is supposed to be a hardened killer with a legendary body count, yet he makes decisions like a 16-year-old discovering ethics for the first time. Full Robin Hood energy.

The whole “I don’t kill bystanders or anyone not directly involved, only my targets” nonsense is especially painful. For a so-called cold-blooded hitman, this is laughably ridiculous. That’s not a professional killer... that’s a morally conflicted Tumblr post with a knife.

The author clearly wanted to show how “dark” and “cold” the protagonist is, but only manages it through tiny, meaningless gestures that amount to edgy flavor text rather than actual characterization. It feels less like a lethal assassin and more like someone role-playing one very badly.

Which is the real tragedy here: the world itself is excellent. A genuinely cool steampunk / dark-fantasy setting, wasted on a protagonist who forgot he’s supposed to be dangerous.
God, I hate when a great world ends up wrapped around a piece of absolute narrative garbage.

Good start, strong hook — and then it slowly derails into a mindless slurry of cringe-worthy morals and baffling choices.
