I’m Not Coming Back to Earth With a Girl Like You

@ASmith everytime I see your comments is always defending 4035, like ok, it’s your fetish or you are one. But you can’t normalize that behavior, or excuse it. It isn’t working, it just makes you look weird.

The MC is both a psycopath and a hypocrite; this is perhaps the worst possible combination for a character. The surviving female heroes are unpleasant but even according to the twisted standards of poetic justice some of them are not ethically irredeemable: one is weak and selfish and another is narcissistic and sexually liberal—promiscuity seems to be a big issue for the author, but really let us move beyond such petty chauvinism—but neither deserve to be killed for these faults. (At one point, the latter seems to be killed for the behaviour of her suitors, which the author seems to find quite natural? Naturally it is different when the ex-girlfriend kills people because of the position she is put in by the MC.) For the other two, one is hard to judge since the MC is clearly only capable of viewing things from his own (rather narrow) perspective, but is potentially deserving of their fate (bad or seditious generals should be led to the scaffold!) and the other, the ex-girlfriend, implausibly becomes a psycho—probably because the writer couldn’t cope with the idea that the ex-girlfriend actually abandoned the MC and so had to invent another reason to make her hateful—though ultimately only in response to actions by the MC; that is to say, much of the incidental destruction that apparently occurred could have been avoided if the MC had been willing to let go of his insane desire to punish the living, ultimately for their sin of not dying with his comrades.

Psychologically this is a rather unconvincing part of the story: the MC does not appear to struggle with any guilt for his own survival, seemingly assured that his own suffering justifies the fact that he was left behind; such a stance is not appropriate for someone who truly empathises with their comrades. If he does not feel guilt then he should also feel less resentment towards the other surviving heroes—unless the source of his resentment is in fact not the memory of his comrades as he keeps implicitly insisting—the nauseatingly self-righteous ‘where were you when comrade x died’—and simply the fact that the other surviving heroes did not suffer as he did. Such a sentiment is natural to a degree, but when you start killing people over it… pathetic.

And no just saying that the surviving heroines might become demon kings in the future does not justify this MCs actions either: even if we ignore the obvious visceral pleasure the MC and author obtain from the punishment scenes, the falsity of this excuse becomes apparent when we ask why is the MC responsible for the fate of a world that he has already paid for unreasonably and intends to abandon hereafter? If he wishes to assume responsibility for the future of the world he has been summonned to—he probably shouldn’t, the whole mess began when the goddess intervened and the world is generally best left to its own devices—then he needs to stay and guard against the possibility of a future demon king rather than assume that the surviving heroes will become a demon king. Given the conditions he has this can be obtained quite simply: send back e.g. the ex-girlfriend and the weak girl; the remaining heroes can more or less serve to restrain one another and the people of the world have a way to target the heroes by releasing the sealed devils. The MC gets to stay with his lover as one of the premiere global powers. Alternatively, he can recognise that he has fulfilled his responsibilities to the world (if indeed he had any in the first place), or at least to his dead comrades, and return to Korea with his lover. Future generations have a method to tackle the remaining heroes should they go rogue e.g. by releasing the sealed devils as he did, so they can at least fight for themselves if the future turns out negative. As for how the world would actually end up? Que sera, sera!

Read the first few chapters and it looks like your typically regret harem. Ntr was mentioned, so I noped out. Saw the comment, and I skipped the the ending.

*Spoiler Alert*

This is not a harem.

All the other girls were either killed or sealed away. MC did end up with ex-girlfriend, but the saint is possessing her body. So main girl is the saintess.

Blue Shadow says:

The only womans who help MC is saintess and elves*
