      A homeless man gets killed by a group of sadistic rich frat boys for fun. A seemingly benevolent god shows compassion for his ordeal and offers to reincarnate the man in a fantasy world. Our MC was a hikkikomori otaku before he got kicked out of his home and jumps at the opportunity with visions of all the imaginary adventures he’s been on when he used to consume otaku culture en mass.

      But alas, the world isn’t a fantasy novel and even the gods are even worse than frat boys. Instead of loading him full of cheat skills and sending him to a fantasy world full of big busted elfs and 1000-year-old lolis, he is send to a desolate hellscape inhabited only by hellish goat-deamons where our MC now have to survive with nothing more than what he can forage.

      Yuuki met a ghost girl at a bus stop and misinterpreted her friendly demeanor as a romantic interest. After he tries to kiss her she shoots him down and he now can’t forget that embarrassing moment. Later he tells a waiter “Thanks, you too”.

      Since it’s a Yoru Sumino novel it is mandatory for the reader to assume a fetal position when reading.

          She could scream “sexual harassment”, cancel him on social media, then the local and national news get involved, his family disown him and after he commits suicide near the end of the novel the ghost girl tries to pick him up as a ghost but he’s angry and she get rejected. The twist is that it’s the ghost girl that has to forget that feeling someday instead of the boy.

      Serious:

      So the cover seems to depict a human riding a deer. There is also the subtitle: “Survivors.” Plural. But we only see the deer and the human. No civilization or technology or even ruins is shown; it’s just forest. So my guess is that the titular “survivors” are the deer and the human. The story starts with the human waking up in a cave with no recollection of how he got there or even who he is. Needing things like sustinence and information he sets off only to find forest. When almost eaten by a bear he is saved by a deer and turns out he can telepathically speak to the deer. There is a deer prophecy about the coming of their King and the human slowly starts fulfilling the prophecy even though he’s doing little more than just trying to survive.

      Not Serious:

      Kuzco Buckington Winthrope III is the crown prince of the kingdom of Clopinhagen. On the day he is to be crowned king, the witch consort attempts to poison him but her bumbling assistance mixes up the poison specifically for Kuzco with essence of deer, turning Kuzco into a deer. He then ends up accidentally on the cart of a traveling merchant leaving the city… until the merchant finds a talking deer in his cart. We laugh, we cry, wrong levers are pulled and after the roller coaster ride the deer is finally reinstated as King but is still a deer.

      From my knowledge of LNs… The majority are: Isekais, in less technically advance eras, involve lots of cooking, the MC is OP and there a school somewhere.

      Theory -

      The MC is a deer, he was one of santas reindeer but after being hit by truck-kun he is reincarnated to another world as an OP deer. He starts with max stats with the skill limit breaker to allow him to transcend the gods. The world is in the pre historic era and after attending the most prestigious school (at which he was bullied) he and his human friends set of to save the world from the demon Lord. They travel while eating dinosaur meat (which spans 10 pages each time they eat) until he one punches the demon Lord so hard the demon Lord gets reincarnated into the MCs original world. At which point he is crowned the deer king!
