Born a poor man in the slums, Zenos never had opportunities in life, so he decides to forge his own opportunities by teaching himself the curative arts after a chance encounter with a healer.
When an adventuring party led by a man named Aston extends him an invitation, Zenos is elated—only to then be treated like dirt by his teammates. Despite Zenos’s diligent efforts to hone his skills to nothing short of perfection, the party deems him useless and kicks him out.
Bereft of money and options, Zenos starts an illegal clinic and becomes a shadow healer. Word of his healing genius spreads quickly throughout the city’s underbelly, and as his reputation grows among the dregs of society, knowledge of Zenos’s esteem reaches the wrong ears…
I’ve seen the anime; this looks like fun! 😎
I kind of like this, first time I saw looking in ages, learning how to heal, by examining corpses, etc building practical understanding.
Most high fantasy worlds, the church or the healing magics, are set in their ways to heal by force, or indirect ways.
I have down the path, playing with writing out stories, where the MC uses a mix of absorption and osmosis or transfer to heal with, backed by an understanding of corpses and physiology. The power set tends to be cursed like, always running out of energy, using potions and alchemy to compensate having unbalanced powers. My MC finds it easier to fight alot of people or a dragon or someone insanely strong, as they wind up powering him up to fight longer. LOL
Very simple, tight trope story, no fluff no filler. Not bad not great! Solid 6 out of 10.
I like this… thats all 😀
One dimensional characters, random harem out of nowhere. Cliche plot. And somehow it’s getting an anime? This is mediocre at best and mind numbingly stupid at worst.
So how long have chapters 18.2-19.1 been listed as “uploaded 21 hours ago”? 😛
below average craps
This is another one of the “They didn’t know my worth now they suck!” stories they’re the right amount of fun without really having to commit every week.
I’d say leave it to marinate a while binge and see if it’s worth it to ya
This one is getting an anime!!! For those of us looking to see what comes next via translations look forward to the anime release.
Mangadex has it listed as ongoing. I hope it’s not axed because i like the guns and favela style fantasy setting.
Want more
This is not a swords and adventure fantasy, this is a guns and favelas fantasy.
casually waiting on the harem tag to ruin everything
Seems promising to me, although the trope of the arrogant adventurers downfall is just around the corner.
Main character: Sees two guys standing over an injured girl, arguing because one of them shot her. Hears them refer to her as merchandise. Buys the girl off of them for a pittance because “she’s going to die anyways”.
Also main character: “Where those two slavers?”
There is a level of stupidity that I just won’t entertain, and this is it.
