My Yandere Girlfriend Hiding in the Dungeon Kills Me Over and Over Again

The defendant Kiska is hereby banished to the interior of the dungeon for the crime of mu*der. So said the judge. Kiska was falsely accused and banished to the dungeon interior. Kiska was persecuted in the village because he had the same hair color as the family that betrayed the humans. To make matters worse, the village chief’s child killed someone he loved, and Kiska took the blame for it. Hateful. He hates all the villagers who have humiliated him so much that he wants to kill them all with his own hands. But for Kiska, who had no skills and was not an adventurer, being banished to the depths of the dungeon was like a death sentence. But. “I will save you.” At the moment he was attacked by the demons, and he foresaw his own death, someone told him that he was going to die. “The skill I’m going to give you is called ‘Save and Reset’.” Someone had given him a skill. With this skill, Kiska has the power to rewind time back to just before he was killed by a demon. This seemed to avert death, but it was only the beginning of hell. This is the story of a man with nothing but the power of reverting back to death, who dies many times while trying to conquer the most difficult dungeon.

## My Thoughts on *My Yandere Girlfriend Hiding in the Dungeon Kills Me Over and Over Again* This title definitely grabbed my attention, and after diving in, I can say it's a wild ride. It's a blend of dark fantasy, romance (of a sort), and a whole lot of death and rebirth. While it has some issues, the core concept and the protagonist's struggles kept me hooked. ### First Impressions Initially, I was expecting something a bit more straightforward, maybe a typical yandere-focused story with a dash of dungeon crawling. What I got was much more complex and, at times, overwhelming. The narrative structure is intricate, with multiple plot threads weaving in and out, sometimes feeling a bit disconnected. I felt like I was thrown into the deep end, but the mystery of it all was compelling enough to keep me swimming. ### What Works Well The "save and reset" mechanic is the heart of this story, and it's implemented in a way that feels both brutal and innovative. Unlike some stories where the MC becomes an unstoppable force after repeated deaths, our protagonist, Kiska, faces real consequences. Time can pass between resets, skills don't always carry over, and relationships are constantly being rewritten. This creates a sense of genuine struggle and forces Kiska to constantly adapt and find new solutions. The author doesn't shy away from making Kiska suffer, which makes his eventual victories feel earned. I also appreciate that Kiska isn't an overpowered edgelord. He's a relatively ordinary guy thrust into extraordinary circumstances. He makes mistakes, he's vulnerable, and he's often outmatched. This makes him relatable, even when he's making questionable decisions in the face of danger and alluring women. The romance aspect, while present, isn't the primary focus, which I found refreshing. It's more about Kiska forming connections with different women in different timelines, each relationship unique and shaped by the circumstances of that particular loop. ### Areas of Concern The pacing and the sheer number of plot threads can be a bit much. New elements are constantly being introduced, which can feel overwhelming if you're not reading it in large chunks. It can be hard to keep track of all the characters and their motivations, especially as they shift and change with each reset. ### ⚠️ Spoiler Warning Some readers might find the ease with which girls fall for the MC to be a bit unrealistic. The initial yandere girlfriend's actions are rooted in a century of torture, but the other romantic interests sometimes feel a bit too easily swayed. ### Final Verdict Despite its flaws, *My Yandere Girlfriend Hiding in the Dungeon Kills Me Over and Over Again* is a unique and engaging read. The intricate plot, the challenging "save and reset" mechanic, and the vulnerable protagonist make for a compelling story. If you're looking for something a bit different and don't mind a bit of chaos, I'd recommend giving it a try. Just be prepared for a wild ride and a potential cliffhanger, depending on the ongoing status of the web novel versus the light novel.
