Who it's for, and whether it holds up.
Dark fantasy manga world, protagonist reborn into it, trying not to die horribly. That's a familiar setup, but this story leans harder into the psychological aftermath than most entries in the genre bother to.
After an early traumatic event, the party members' responses are the real subject of the story. Their slide toward yandere-ish obsession is handled with some care: the author provides backstories that give the devotion actual foundation rather than just treating it as a genre convention. The MC himself isn't passive. His combat approach is specific, and his effort to protect the people around him feels earned rather than assumed.
The structural weakness is the perspective-switching. Internal monologues cycle through similar anxious registers, and after the first few rotations, they start to feel repetitive rather than revealing. Whether this opens up as the characters develop is a reasonable question; the story is still working toward something.
At 3.7, this is decent and uneven in roughly equal measure. The premise is handled with more psychological honesty than average, and the party dynamics have real texture. The pacing and repetition hold it back from being something you'd urgently recommend. Worth trying if the yandere-party-members premise is exactly what you're looking for, but go in knowing that the MC's occasional denseness and the repetitive introspection are genuine friction points.
