What’s it about? Ever since he was a toddler, Rentt Faina dreamed of being a mithril-class adventurer, which might solely be achieved by performing an ideal heroic deed. Nevertheless, ten years into his profession he’s nonetheless solely on the bronze listing. He ekes out a meager existence by taking soft jobs and looking out a low-level dungeon populated with slimes and skeletons. He thinks it is his fortunate day when a damaged wall reveals a beforehand undiscovered space, however that dream turns right into a nightmare when he encounters a strong dragon. He survives… effectively, to some extent. Can you actually name a skeleton alive?
Not even an hour after I submitted my evaluation Sasaki and Peeps, Harboring my hatred for the extreme narration typical of lazy gentle novel variations, I watched The undesirable undead adventurer; Similar to the dragon turned Rentt right into a skeleton, he turned me into the Joker.

It begins fantastic. Virtually even good. The Chilly Open is a dialogue-free scene of an enormous dragon with creepy fingers threatening the adventurer who we quickly study is Rentt because the younger man panics. The display goes darkish and when it returns to the identical room, a skeleton in Rentt’s clothes strikes. He seems at his reflection within the water and begins to panic. We proceed with the decidedly mediocre opening theme, by which skele-Rentt Dr. Doom cosplays and a trio of lovely women dance round and smile on the digital camera.
From there the story jumps again in time, with Rentt getting up within the early morning and speaking about how in society solely wealthy folks can sleep till midday and poor folks must stand up early. He continues by no means. Shut. Upwards. He describes his plans for at the moment. He describes what adventurers do. He describes his option to go solo as a result of he’s dangerous at his job. He describes the boring, blue-lit dungeon he enters. It is annoying, however not surprising for the style. However then.
BUT THEN!!!!

The very same scene from the Chilly Open performs out once more. Like, actually the identical animation. BUT THIS TIME HE TELLS IT AS IT HAPPENS. It was efficient sufficient by itself! He talks about how the “strain it exerts (freezes him) in place”, although this was already clearly communicated by the pictures! “I am a skeleton,” he says, as if we could not say that ourselves. A blind man might see that he was a skeleton, and I say that with confidence as a result of there was somebody sitting subsequent to me when this occurred. Significantly, it was just like the audio observe for the visible description was on. That is after I misplaced it. I saved yelling at my TV for Rentt to close up till the credit rolled. I’d throw issues if there was one thing close by that I did not assume would harm the display.
The undesirable undead adventurer has completely no confidence within the intelligence of its viewers. This is an inventory of issues Rentt defines in a narrative aimed solely at genre-conscious megageeks:
- adventurers
- dungeons
- dragons
- samples
- skeletons
- the undead
- slime
- the sweetness trade. (This made me yell on the display to close up. He did not.)

I’d have taken online game mechanics on this. His incessant buzzing was so annoying that I barely observed when his faculty pal launched his breasts first. I did not care, hey, as a human he was vaguely cute and in addition grew again muscle tissues first. All my earthly needs withered away, leaving as an alternative a righteous anger towards the individuals who did this to me. If I had been to die now, I would come again as a vengeful ghost, haunting lazy isekai adaptation groups who have a look at boring first-person tales and resolve they should make the change to a visible medium.
However I’m not useless, nor am I undead. I stay with a pot of rooster fats that I make into schmaltz on the range, which is infinitely extra attention-grabbing than The undesirable undead adventurer. It is an acceptable title for such a dull, forgettable collection.
