The Hero Laughs While Walking the Path of Vengeance a Second Time (light novel) #6

by Nero Kizuka, Jake Humphrey (Translator)

A DEVASTATING HOMECOMING

Metelia ambushes Kaito just after he completes his latest feat of vengeance, forcing him through a portal to his home of present-day Japan. Stripped of his memories, Kaito comes to terms with his tragic new reality—a world where almost everyone he knows is dead, having been sacrificed when he was summoned as a hero the first time, and the few survivors of the incident are being hunted by a group of conspiracy theorists. Even this fragile status quo is disrupted when an assassin nearly succeeds in taking his life. But the brush with death restores Kaito’s memories and powers, giving him the perfect opportunity to take revenge on his assailants and chart a course back to his partners in crime…

I started reading this, and couldn't put it down until the last word.

I did enjoy the detour back to Japan this volume but I do kind of question it’s necessity as once again I feel like there is already enough on Kaito’s plate in this series. I also have some concerns about the exposition that was added to Metelia’s backstory, which seems needlessly convoluted for what has been a straightforward revenge story so far.

Ok... the incest really detracts from the story

The book is less fun to read with a normie Kaito. It picks up eventually. The horny incest only detracts from the story

Right when I was starting to enjoy the series, it fell off hard. This volume ends strong and was satisfying, but the weird incestuous obsession between brother and sister is something I hope isn't explored in future volumes..
