Synopsis

Corporate slave Arihito Atobe's death in a freak bus accident marks the beginning of his new life as a kind of adventurer called a Seeker. Reborn into a fantasy world, he settles into a previously unknown job class called "rearguard," capable of providing his (all-female) party with critical attack, defense, and recovery support. And it comes with an added bonus: Simply being at the back of the party line increases his companions' fondness for him! Freed from the shackles of corporate life, Arihito is eager to start fresh as a newly minted Seeker!

This is my first review, so please bare with me on this. I have read all four books available as of right now, and have the fifth one pre-ordered.

TLDR: A must read if you love Isekai and/or rpg type novels. Even someone like me who honestly doesn't like reading, fell madly in love with the series.

Lets start off with the story. I won't go into it to much and will avoid spoilers as much as possible. It's honestly a really good Isekai fantasy rpg like light novel. It mainly is focused on the dungeon and rpg aspect of the world with a harem tag put ...

Full Disclaimer, this is written based off of the first book only. As of writing this guide there is three available for purchase in English with a fourth coming out later 2020. This is also the first review I've ever wrote.

Let's start with a quick TLDR. For me personally my priorities in just about any form of entertainment goes something like this. Full disclosure, that doesn't mean that any one of these things don't matter in comparison, this is just my personal taste.

Since Rearguard is a job its stands to reason that Vanguard and Midguard are also actual jobs people can take, Do you think we will ever see anyone take them?
