The Reincarnated Onmyoji Who Became a Huge Hit by Saving a Dungeon Streamer, Accidentally Streams a Special Class Curse Item and Becomes a Legend

Ueno Sora is a reincarnated onmyoji from the Heian period. In modern times, onmyojis are regarded as frauds, so Sora starts streaming dungeon explorations to change that image. “I have no talent at all…” No matter how hard Sora tries, his viewership remains stagnant and his onmyoji skills are ridiculed as CG and special effects. One day, by chance, Sora rescues the popular dungeon streamer, Ookami Rika, from an irregularity inside the dungeon. The swiftness of Sora’s movements and actions goes viral on the internet, and gradually his existence becomes recognized by the world. In order to change the image of onmyoji, the now-popular Sora continues to showcase various onmyoji techniques during their streams: divination, shikigami, curses, and more. Using these techniques, he becomes a streamer capable of changing the world. The strongest adventurer accidentally streams a special class curse item and recruits dungeon bosses as allies, but at this time, nobody knows about it yet.

## My Thoughts on The Reincarnated Onmyoji Who Became a Huge Hit by Saving a Dungeon Streamer, Accidentally Streams a Special Class Curse Item and Becomes a Legend This title is a mouthful, I know, but beneath the quirky exterior lies a web novel with a surprising amount of charm. "The Reincarnated Onmyoji…" (I'm not typing that out again!) is a blend of action, comedy, fantasy, and a dash of harem elements, all wrapped up in a modern streaming package. It's a wild ride, and while it might not be for everyone, I found myself enjoying the absurdity. ### First Impressions Initially, I was wary. The lengthy title and the sheer number of tags screamed "generic isekai." However, I decided to give it a shot, and I was pleasantly surprised. The premise is straightforward: an onmyoji from the Heian era reincarnates into the modern world and accidentally becomes a streaming sensation. It's ridiculous, yes, but the execution is key. ### What Works Well The MC, Sora, is definitely a highlight. He's an onmyoji out of time, and his lack of common sense in the modern world leads to some truly funny situations. His interactions with the supporting cast, especially the "tsundere daughter of some massive tech conglomerate," are entertaining. I appreciate that the side characters aren't just cardboard cutouts; they feel relatively well-developed and contribute to the overall enjoyment of the story. I also appreciate the unique spin on the overpowered MC trope. Sora is strong, but his powers are still being revealed, and the use of onmyodo magic feels fresh compared to the usual fantasy fare. The livestreaming aspect is well-integrated and adds another layer of humor and intrigue. ### Areas of Concern While I found the MC's antics amusing, I can see how some readers might find his lack of common sense annoying. The humor leans towards the absurd, and if you're not a fan of that style, this novel might not be for you. ### ⚠️ Spoiler Warning Some readers might consider the identity of the first potential harem member a spoiler, so proceed with caution. She's the daughter of a tech mogul who becomes the MC's manager and a key figure in his streaming career. ### Final Verdict "The Reincarnated Onmyoji…" is a fun, lighthearted read that doesn't take itself too seriously. If you're looking for a unique twist on the isekai genre with a likable MC and a healthy dose of humor, I'd recommend giving it a try. Just be prepared for some over-the-top moments and a plot that prioritizes entertainment over deep philosophical themes.
