Shinkoshima, author of The Reincarnated Sage's Alternate World Life. His name is striking and a bit mysterious, but do you know who this author is? While many of you may have a vague idea of who he is based on the title, this time we'll introduce you to the author of The Reincarnated Sage's Alternate World Life, including what kind of person he is, and the works he has written.
Of course, where he's from...
As most people probably guess, Shinkoshima began writing on "Let's Become a Novelist." He's been writing since around 2015 and is known as a "Narou" author. The series' stories are generally about reincarnation or transfer to another world, often featuring characters who boast extraordinary strength and are unrivaled in their new worlds. The protagonist of this work also possesses cheating abilities from the start, and his other works follow a similar theme, so if one work suits your tastes, you'll likely enjoy most of them.
The manga began serialization around the same time as the novel.
The original novel of this work began serialization on "Shousetsuka ni Narou" in May 2018, and the manga was released about two months later in July 2018. It is published on "Manga UP!". The original novel is published by Square Enix, a different publisher from SB Creative. Because the two series began serialization at roughly the same time, as of 2022, the original novel has 10 volumes published, while the manga, which began serialization later, has 15 volumes.
His debut work was "I Was Transferred to Another World, So I Decided to Use My Cheats to Become a Magic Swordsman."
Mr. Shinkoshima's debut work was "I Was Transferred to Another World, So I Decided to Use My Cheats to Become a Magic Swordsman," which he also wrote for "Let's Become a Novelist." As the title suggests, this work, like "The Reincarnated Sage's Alternate World Life," is about a character who is transported to another world and fights using cheating abilities, and its style is quite similar to that of "The Reincarnated Sage." This work began serialization in 2013, and the manga began serialization in 2020. Like "The Reincarnated Sage's Alternate World Life," it is serialized on Manga UP! and currently has five volumes published.
The Strongest Sage with Weakest Crest: The World's Strongest Sage Reincarnated to Become Even Stronger
This work is likely still fresh in your memory. So far we've been introducing stories about transference, but this work is a story about reincarnation. The series began serialization on Let's Become a Novelist in 2016, and as of 2022, 15 volumes have been published. The manga version is published on Manga UP! and Gangan Online, and 18 volumes have been published so far. A spin-off work depicting the protagonist's past life has also been released, and 6 volumes of that have also been published so far. An anime adaptation began airing in January 2022, consisting of 12 episodes.
Other works include:
So far, we've introduced full-length works that have been adapted into anime, but there are also several other works that have already been published. Some examples include "Unparalleled Reincarnation of a Sage from Another World: Becoming the Strongest in Another World with Game Knowledge," "Reincarnation in Another World: Becoming the Strongest in Another World with [Magic Improvements]," "Unparalleled Reincarnation in Another World with Assassination Skills: Having Mastered Alchemy and Assassination, I Rule the World from the Shadows," and "Nothing is Impossible with Mastered Alchemy: Unparalleled in Another World with Versatile Skills." As expected, there are a lot of works set in other worlds. Recently, a work titled "Two-Winged Armed User" began serialization in Monthly Shonen Gangan, but it felt strange that the word "other world" wasn't included (lol).
Author and Original Story Summary
So far, I've introduced the author of this work, but there are many works that include words like "other world" and "sage." If you're a fan of other-worldly stories with overpowered characters, I highly recommend checking it out.
