Synopsis

The strongest final boss in RPG history figures out a way to get super rich in his own world! Demon Lord Menas, ruler of the Noa Empire, finds the Resistance's forces on his doorstep. While Alex, a determined, beautiful, blonde young lady stands before him, he gets this weird feeling of deja vu... Isn't this just like the prologue of "ResNoa," the video game he plays in his dreams?! Menas realizes that he was the final boss of his own world all along! He fakes his death at the hands of Alex and seizes his chance at a brand new life with both hands. Our dark hero takes his world by storm, using whatever cheat codes he has to protect his newfound freedom!

Preliminary (29/31 eps)
7.6/10


It’s a little bit cliche, a little bit edgy, a little bit cringy, but it was surprisingly enjoyable. This manga is more of a parody than anything, as a lot of the tension is ruined due to the mc’s snarky moments with his humor, but it wasn’t horrible due to how refreshing/self-aware he is.

Preliminary (25/31 eps)
THIS IS A HIDDEN GEM ISEKAI READ. 25 chapters in. almost 0 fan service. an isekai that fills you with hope and hype on every single chapter. evil that isn't cruel, but an evil that wants to do his damnedst to finds happy outcome for others through his best interest and guilt of him being a ruler, then tracing each of those moments hit down deep with heart warming care. This story is more of a one time read thing, after you read everything here for the first time. all that sensation will probably disappear quickly after, but its a definitely a fabulous quick pace ...

Mixed Feelings
Preliminary (31/31 eps)
Summary: Feels unfinished, stopped publishing at 31 chapters. Read if you want, but it may leave you feeling a bit empty.

It feels like the Manga is just an advertisement for the Light Novel.
It concludes with the 31st chapter which left me feeling a bit empty, as it left so much unresolved. Only appearing to cover a single arc of the story before ending on what amounts to a "To be continued" except in this case we get a "The End".
An example of this is that there are around 5 companions of the MC you never even meet. They're illustrated on a page showing the ...
