Any Isekai/rebirth stories where the difficulty setting is through the roof? As in despair-inducing difficulty. Ones I've already read that have been listed: Dungeon Seeker Dungeon Defense Kuro no Maou Nidome no Yuusha Running Away From The Hero Tate no Yuusha Terror Infinity The Tutorial Is Too Hard The Death Mage that doesn't want a 4th time Re Zero Reincarnator These do tend to be on the harder side (relatively speaking), but not quite enough for me. KnM and Dungeon Seeker are probably the closest to what I'm looking for.
thats true. http://www.novelupdates.com/series/da-tang-shuang-long-zhuan/ the beginning is a little slow, but its one of the best novels. http://www.novelupdates.com/series/chronicles-of-primordial-wars/ I think...
Maybe early part of Kumo Desu ga, Nani ka? and in some sense Ascendance of a Bookworm (mostly due to MCs sickness) Though I don't know if to say its through the roof... it ain't rei zero difficulty, but hard never the less.
I've read everything listed in this thread up to this point other than Amber Sword and Ascendance(I'll try it). Any others? Most of the ones listed here weren't really THAT difficult. Hard sure but not despair-inducing.
Um, Dungeon Defense ? After some econquers, MC resceives the message that he will go at insane difficulty and will not receive any system help other than 1 starting skill. It is not rebirth though, but still great
Reincarnator Korean LN. Hardcore in that ruthless Korean kind of way. A do-over fic, and also a RL->RPG apocalypse fic.
Not so difficult when the MC is the paragon of humanity with a near comprehensive cheat-sheet with an OP innate ability that complements all of the above.
I think there was a novel about death flags. (Final destination comes to mind, so I can't remember the title)
what about The Lazy King though the mc dont have to much sufering is a multi-POVs and the rest dont have it easy
