At first glance you may think this is an another one of those "everyone evil, me good, but now I'm angry" stories which begs for a shallow revenge plotline. You are not completly wrong, but it is just a small part of the bigger picture. This manga is much more than that. True, there are 4 adventurers who were decieved, and everything was taken away from them, but because as a lucky coincidence (and plot convinence) they meet each other, and they get a chance for a new beginning thanks to each other. It is somewhat dark, yet wholesome at the same time, whichis a unique combination in my opinion .

The cast: Let's start with the most interesting part of the manga. What would you think, if I tell you, we have a Idol maniac otaku assasin MC (Nick), a gambling addict mage (Tiana), a hostess (/whore) lover ex-priest (Zem), and an air-headed dragonoid muscle girl (Curran)? Most likely you would think it is an another one of those cheap Konosuba clones, right? You are completly wrong. Their flaws are not comedic at all, actually the manga has the guts to take them seriously, and portray these as substitute acts for the characters, because they are running from their past. As you read the manga, you get to know more and more about the characters and the events happened to them, so you slowly realize the pit the characters are in is much deeper than it seemed initially. Actually, we have real characters and character development here (even our supposed to be self-insert otaku is more than meets the eye).

Not to mention the "evil" characters have plotlines too, what makes them relatable (or at least understandable), and I always appricate when a manga dare to depcit them not only as "I'm evil for the sake of being evil" (For eg.: Leon is an interesting character for a seemingly disposable "bad guy").

Note though, the main cast are kinda cautious (understandably), so they do not take unneccesary risks, so the majority (=/= all) of the fight scenes doesn't have real risk involved. The story much more focused on how the characters overcome their past, and how they grow as a person.

The story: It is kinda slice of lifish, since the manga portrays the growth of the party too, and not just "here, kill this one mob, and became immortal god in 4 panels". It takes it's time to develop the characters. Because of this we are kinda early in the main storyline, but it seems like it has a direction (and a goal) where the story goes, so probably it will be interesting in the future, but so far we only got a few chapters about the mistery behind the world. Additionally, I kinda like how the characters solve the problems, it is not only the usual "I'm a OP nice guy, so I gonna solve everything with brute force". So the plottwists are actually well thought out.

The world: A generic high fantasy, so if you are looking for fantasy manga with a unique world, than this is not the one you are looking for. Although, there are a few interesting ideas. Nothing groundbreaking, but it is something. Personally I kinda found the "Union" idea offputting at first, because I was expecting a cheap haremish waifu bait crap, but it turns out it is not the case. So, I got used to it.

All in all I was pleasantly suprised. This one is actually damn good read, a hidden gem, despite it's genericness here and there. I can recommend it, if you like power fantasy with a somewhat OP, but really interesting main cast. My preliminary verdict is a high 8 after 40 chapters.
