Description

Yuichi Shiro, a narcissistic teen, is killed in a road traffic accident (mostly caused by his own stupidity). He is a given a single chance to resurrect. He takes it. But how will his life change now that he has returned as a Human Anomaly?

"I'm now a magnet for dangerous monsters? I don't care, I'm still beautiful."

"A group of Slayers wish me dead? Ha, they don't even measure up to my ankles."

No matter the dangers that are thrown his way, with a beautiful Reaper as a fiancé at his side, and caring friends at his back, he will overcome them all.

He shall walk his path of narcissism and become a legend.

(Also being written as a manga/web comic)

This book is very entertaining I end up laughing a good amount through every other chapter. I won't get into too many details but if you enjoy anime/manga or Light novels I recommend this book.
The author is very blatant about using tropes from such things.
and yet the story Is still rather unique.
The characters are fleshed out fairly well. But are also true to themselves our mc is ALWAYS a narcissist which is great, lots of authors seem to have character change themselves based on the situation but change themselves based on the situation this one, however, stays true.

It's one of those cringey comedy light novel kind of fiction, and a well-written one. But if you don't like slapstick humour to begin with, this probably isn't for you.
Style: Pretty good. The author writes the humour pretty well, but as stated above, it's the cringey/slapstick kind of humour and is definitely not for everyone. Although, the humour is a bit too reliant on the MC being a complete narcissist and moron, which might get stale if overused.
As for the actual, non-humour part of the writing...nothing much to say. Make sure to occasionally vary your sentence length, because during the non-humour parts, sometimes your novel read like a newspaper. The descriptive language is also pretty weak, but that's just a minor issue.
Story: Decent premise. Nothing has really happened yet, but they introduced a lot of reeeally cliche tropes. The whole "gain supernatural powers and beat monsters that eat human souls" thing. That isn't so bad by itself, but guess what, they also set up the "asshole religion wants to exterminate MC because he transformed into X" thing. I'd say there's a 75% chance that a future harem member will be a knight Templar or something.
Grammar: Good. Occasional spelling error like misspelling "consciousness" as "conscience" and "feat" as "fit".
Character: All the characters are pretty unique and refreshing. The story is still at the beginning, so there hasn't been any character development or anything, but it looks like the author knows what he's doing. We find out that "oh the MC is an asshole, but deep down he's a good person". Hopefully we get to see this(and more of the MC's personality) in the later part of the story and not just flashback, because honestly I feel that the narcissism thing is just a gimmick and can't really stand on its own.
