Audience

After an era of ruthless rule, a powerful overlord is reborn with hopes of a peaceful future. When he enters a specialized academy for those deemed to be the next Demon King, his growing confidence clashes with a world that has weakened and changed, leaving him branded as a misfit.

My take

You’ll probably enjoy this if you like fast, fun reincarnation fantasy with an extremely overpowered protagonist and a hopeful, heartwarming vibe; Not for you if you want deep character growth or more layered storytelling, especially if you disliked The Irregular at Magic High School or A Returner's Magic Should Be Special.
