What must the NPCs be thinking of all of this? If you're laughing or have a grin on your face, you'll probably find this manga funny.
Save & Load is about a novice female adventurer named Loretta who needs to clear a high-rank dungeon for personal reasons. She seeks advice from a man named Alec, who claims to be reincarnated from another world, and who has a wonderful skill that let's you raise your stats rapidly by regenerating from a 'save point", even if you get killed.
What follows is a chronicle of Loretta's "training". With death changed from permanent to an inconvenience, Alec constructs a torturous training program which he delivers in a delighted, nonchalant manner as Loretta suffers and dies, over and over and over again, but rapidly gains stats.
To clarify, Save and Load is not torture porn, but rather a dark comedy about how fantasy characters would view the save/load experience that gamers take for granted. Designs are cute and moe, gore is minimized, and for a series filled with death, the atmosphere and message stays light and hopeful.
