Synopsis:
Where mortals are simply instruments for the gods, a man is summoned to do their bidding. He will stop at nothing to forge his own path through his accursed fate. In the land where there are no heroes, a lone man fights against the design with blood, violence and sarcasm.

In a world that is not set in black and white, everything has their own tales. How will he pick sides when none of them are what they appear to be? where betrayal is the paycheck, and lies are the payment.

Can he break the vicious cycle or will he be consumed by his own hatred? What will he do in a world where things can change in a moment? How will he cope with his own darkness?

Every power has its price.

Come delve into the epic world of Sangraal, violent and dark with its mythos as well as fresh with its new spin lampooning all the cliched J-novels ever.

Kill. Die. Tsukkomi.

Genre: Dark Fantasy, High Fantasy, Tragedy, Romance, Swords and Magic fantasy, Sarcasm, Parody.
Warning: If you are uncomfortable with dark, very dark storyline and mature concepts, this story is probably not for you.

^So it's heavily influenced by J-novels?

Interesting...

Oh yes, but mostly to make fun of them and very meta jokes.

[Ruki0089]

Black joke? Dark humor? I'm in...

If you either removed, or even better, switched that tragedy tag for a harem one I could consider reading this~. Though the parody tag doesn't help motivating me either.

Advise put a very sexy Elf in this novel and you got the pervs atention.

Too many harems spoil the err...harem?

The parody tag is a bit...like how the character remarks "at least I wasn't killed by a truck".

I'd leave harem to those who can write it well to a satisfying conclusion...oh wait.

As of first arc:
It got my attention in the first chapter all the way till the end of the arc. I do like his humorous tsukkomis even though it brings him more trouble..

Should have known that the happy days would not end well...we were all just waiting for when it will happen. Despair can't be felt so strongly at this moment as its just the starting few chapters and we're not emotionally invested in the MC right now. (but...I've seen even more despairing events..not that I'm complaining that the MC does not have enough despair. Too much of it will just go past the pity-the-MC line)

Technically the flow of the arc follows quite similarly to the usual plots but even so, I wasn't bored of reading it. Keep up the effort

Thanks!

Hmm...getting more invested in the MC, is it just a matter of more chapters(hence more time) or do I need to up my emotional situations even more?

I have tried to keep it real with how a 20 year old guy would act(means I cut out the weird blushings, stammerings and going limp in front of the heroine. going limp, haha). And even his despair and agony I have tried to portray as best as I could. So...is it just a matter of more chapters or much better writing?

I didnt mind the references from animes/mangas but I didnt like the japanese words in the middle an english text.

Spoiler:

I knew that Arin would suffer a horrible, at least most of the things done to Arin were offscreen. I really cant stand when things like what was done to her are too detailed.

Well...Rigel is half-japanese so...the sudden words make sense in a way. Why is he half-Japanese you ask? Some of the jokes he make are very meta to Japanese culture, can't have anyone else cracking them. But the Japanese words stop at CH3, so it shouldn't be too much of a problem. And there is literally like 3 Japanese words in the entire ~50k words story.

Btw, new chapters are always uploaded on the three sites at the same time or is there a site where chapters come out few days or hours before the others?

I couldn't help but read the Synopsis while using the deep movie guy voice.

3 sites at the same time unless I get lazy and put off the WordPress sites for later. Royalroadl always gets the update, and there is a delay of 2-3 hours on the others in like 5% of the time.
