Other Worlds: Arifureta Novelization is psychological trauma

Having gone through the light novels for Arifureta Shokugyo de Sekai Saikyo I can tell you it is in the end a Mary Sue outcome for the Main Character, and thus an expression of the Author's desires. He gets to marry the vampire loli he rescued from the hell dungeon, and he also gets a 'relationship' where he is going to have relations with not only all of his other world harem, but his female teacher, and the surviving female students - all of whom succumb to the idea they want him sexually.

He goes from a bullied and despised weakling only cared for by the two most popular girls in class- yet imprisoned by the fact that any relationship he might attempt to have with them ends in being brutalized by the dominant male classmates to being powerful enough to kill any rival and enjoy any female his power attracts.

It is especially horrifying when you consider what happens to those female students not interested in being in his harem, being one of his wives or prefering one of the other male classmates as the story progresses through 178 chapters of light novels... dead to the last. Dead whether by the Main character's hand, in dispute with the MC's Harem, or in conflicts with others.

Frankly with the fiction peeled off, its a very terrifying delve into the Psychology and Life of the Author. Its almost as though his childhood is the deserved punishment for who he becomes as an adult.
