Anyway! First review for this Manga in 2017.
Imagine a really cool premise, but an author that allows the protagonist to become ridiculously overpowered for no real reason. Imagine a manga without any threats or suspense. Imagine a manga where there was decent character buildup in the beginning, but during the later chapters it just turned into ramblings about "training" and completely one-sided battles.
*minor spoiler*
Oh, there's also a harem. Did I mention the harem of girls who love the protagonist only because he's the leader? Did I mention the elven sex slaves who join the ranks and forgo their grudges because of "training"?
*Spoiler over*

If you're looking for something deep, then this is definitely not the manga for you. It has an interesting premise and fairly decent art, but is crippled by the characters, lack of story, and harem bait.
The main character Rou is too OP to take seriously. His personality was interesting to begin with, but slowly devolved into wish fulfillment character he has very sketchy views on morality. The rest of the characters aren't all that special either. The harem he has is mostly forgettable personality wise. Literally, their characters are cliche cardboard cut outs who do nothing to enhance the plot, save Mi. I liked Kichi and ... Dec 8, 2014
Finally a manga that breaks out of the mainstream "human" hero/antihero genre, and lets us focus on a monster as main protagonist.
RE:Monster is a fantasy RPG manga that centers on Goblinrou as the main protagonist, a human reincarnated as a goblin. He has to learn the harsh life of being a monster and evolving to bigger hights as he gains that valuable exp. Story: 8 The story in itself is a bit mainstream like most rpg genra these days, one that would be closest to this one would be the mangsa "The Gamer" for the RPG element and "Mushoku Tensei: Isekai Ittara Honki Dasu" for the reincarnation part. ...

At this moment, 28th of August 2014, there are only 5 chapters of Re:monster out with english translations.
Re:Monster is a very easy and simple story. The story begins from strech due to the MC's reincarnation. From that moment the new life of the MC begins to develop its path and continues to grow on doing so. Reasons why Re:Monster is a Strong 8: - It's a good story, even if the plot isn't that grand or deep in the beginning. - The MC is not a idiot. He is a logical thinker and has a quick understanding of things around his new life as a goblin. -It contains some ... Mar 24, 2016
ReMonster started out ok, it was a bit boring but it moved along at a decent pace and the development of the civilisation was interesting. The protagonist got rid of the goblin's rape camp and life generally improved for them. Then within literally three issues it descends into harem group sex and the main character capturing humanoids to turn into drugged up sex slaves to be raped. Apart from being generally repellent it comes entirely out of left field as the MC has spent a big chunk of time removing that system. Its also at this point you realise every issue is the same story

Re:Monster is, without a shadow of a doubt, the single purest distillation of escapist power fantasy media I've ever encountered. This shit is literally just "guy shows up to fantasy world that's good at everything and never loses ever, gets every ridiculously overpowered ability in the universe and fucks every hot babe that crosses his line of sight".
And for that, it's a pretty good time. I'd compare the experience of reading this thing to the experience of leveling up/getting new gear/progressing in a bog standard RPG. There are no stakes, the characters all exist in service of the protagonist, and the prose is beyond beige. Almost ... Jan 13, 2018
One of the most cringeworthy shit shows I've read in awhile. Themes of Torture, Rape, Slavery, Unnecessary Nudity, etc are all prevalent and the norm in this manga. It might as well be listed as fantasy childish murder porn. Terrible writing, horrible leaps of logic, empty character progression and zero background context. Some vague mentioning about a previous life where the MC had psychic powers and was stabbed? Beyond that, nothing.
This Harem shitshow has a strange kind of reverence for torture and rape. It's honestly very disgusting how they present various gore porn immoral acts in a lighthearted and silly way. It's like, "Haha I'm ... Mar 7, 2016
Never before have I read a story, that is so obviously the writers own wish fulfillment fantasy.
The story starts out pretty good and is actually legimitately pretty interesting. The MC has flaws, and there are both downsides and upsides to what hes going through. His character is somewhat interesting and he has reasons for his actions. This quickly changes though and it turns into whatever mess the author was able to string together. It ends up as a sort of really short summary of what the MC did whatever which day, and what he ended up gaining. Theres nothing driving the plot and the characters development. ... Apr 26, 2024
The idea behind the story is great but it gets so bad later on to the point where you will actively get mad at the MC choices. He stops the raping of women then goes back but instead of raping them he forcefully makes them submit to having sex by using aphrodisiac.
I re-read the series again recently to refresh myself to see if i was misjudging it but i was definitely not wrong the first time. If you want a good monster reincarnation manga go read Slime Isekai, So I’m a Spider, So What?, or Skeleton Knight in ... Aug 6, 2019
Rou's got a magic d*ck which forcefully plunders the hearts of young maidens.
Kichi's got a d*ck that was born for Rou to use. Mi's got a d*ck and an obsessive love of Rou since day one. Walline is human yet loves Rou's green magic d*ck. Jii is old and got cuckold by Rou, yet still adores him. ... Jul 19, 2020
This was very disappointing. It had a good idea and seemed to be going well however the mc became far to powerful to quickly outpacing the interactions he has with possible opponents. Many things I was looking forward to initially such as actual conflict and depth building with humans turned out to be nothing and it feels like the story devolves as it continues. In addition I did not see a harem tag when I started this manga but it is needed considering that is now 80% of the mangas motive. If your looking for harem with no depth then this is a fine manga

The MC is special in the way that he is able to absorb enemies abilities and make them he's own. I've always hated this kind of power creep, as they essentially become way too strong without any effort. It would have been much more interesting if the MC had used he's own intelligence to overcome problems, and see how the world would have reacted to an intelligent goblin, and instead we got a generic and bland story.
That isn't my only problem, the biggest one is that there is no story. The story is stuck in a loop, kill, eat, and evolve. There is no story ... Feb 1, 2020
I actually guiltily liked this story a lot, at first at least. The main character is OP and kind of whats to kill everything he comes across in the beginning (besides other goblins) and then it devolves into a everybody wants his d*ck.
My main issue *spoilers* is that he goes from sort of helping the human women in the beginning be free from being breeders and sex slaves of the goblins to keeping a bunch of elves and others for the same purpose. Except it’s all ok because drugging them to the point where they beg for sex makes it consensual, like drugging and coercing ... Jul 14, 2020
I started out really liking the manga it had an interesting premise and from my name you can guess why i gave it a look. But i regret it I made a rule for myself don't interact with anything with re: in the title i wish i stuck to that when i dropped it the show was just harem and he accationaly feels like slaughtering people in entirly one sided battle for boose and then takes all the women and makes them his slaves.
Its just a harem manga its all just harem and this entire manga as far as i can tell is just poorly ... Dec 14, 2016
The concept itself is pretty fascinating, but unfortunately is a concept that already been seen. The only twist that I found fascinating is that the main character reborns as pretty much the weakest creature you can find in standard rpgs. It also has an interesting evolving system that would equate itself to a normal ranking system.
He is an OP character, so there hardly isn't any challenge for him. He usually saves his moves as the last trump card. However, his development overshadows other characters completely. Quite dissappointing. Mi and Kichi weren't that bad, since they were there in the beginning, but in the end ... Feb 2, 2020
Boy, I wish Goblin Slayer would show up to end this travesty.
MC is from a world where people have super powers or something, and his power is being able to obtain other powers/abilities by eating body parts from other beings with powers. He is stabbed by a crazy bitch and dies. He then wakes up as a baby goblin, the next day he grows up to a pre-teen goblin and goes out to the woods to hunt, he befriends a dumb goblin (most of them are dumb but this one is especially dumb) and they form a team to hunt unicorn rabbits, the MC ... Feb 24, 2018
The premise was really intriguing, I was sick of the usual reincarnation stories where they become a cute genius kid that can do anything and get whatever he wants, so being reincarnated into a goblin was certainly a new approach. Sadly they went down the same route anyway, with cheat like abilities the MC becomes the strongest and does whatever he wants.
The art was certainly different but kind of plain and boring, didn't enjoy it. Though the human girls, the elvish girls did look cute. Action scenes were a pain to follow and the facial expressions were almost non-existent beyond angry and horny. Characters were ... Feb 19, 2018
1st ever review since I wanted to explain my sadness at a possible amazing story with interesting ideas, especially since you don't often see ones from the monsters perspective, but after a short while its just a cycle of:
-I'm amazing -Get skills -Get women -Get stuff -get better again and again. ... Oct 16, 2018
Once upon a time, there`s 3 manga that stoods out as related to "Goblin".
Goblin Slayer, Tenshi Slime (read more then you know why), and Re:Monsters. (The Killer, The God, and The Leader) Re:Monsters is another isekai manga (which has been way too many), that reborn into a lowest rank. Goblin, well that sucks. Soon after that, MC had an ability to gain skills and stats just by eating "anything". Yes "anything". But after that, they can evolved into more higher rank, just like games. Aside of character, Rou, which is MC, is quite OP character, likeable. As well as the side character, Kichi and E. Further ... |
