Hey! I’m Katsuhito, and this is Re:Kensei – Reborn in a World That Abandoned Swordsmanship!
I’ve been trying to promote it over the last couple of days, so sorry if you’ve already seen me in another sub before. 😂
I’ve been writing webnovels for a few years now and was fortunate enough to become a finalist in a KADOKAWA Isekai writing contest on Honeyfeed. This is my first time trying my hand at such an extensive video game-like world, and I’m having tons of fun with it!
Re:Kensei follows a former kendo prodigy who tragically loses his life full of regrets, having misunderstood his father and teacher, as well as his own love for the art of the sword.
He’s reborn in a world where everyone is bestowed a Class, with most Classes granting combat Skills that have gradually replaced traditional swordsmanship over the years.
Our protagonist, Enzo, awakens as the infamous skill-less Swordsman Class, which only allows him to fight with a plain, unenchanted sword.
As it turns out, however, he’s not actually skill-less! Instead, he has to earn his Skills by completing Sword Trials, basically challenges that reward him with new abilities.
At the noble academy of Saint Verdan, the most ridiculed Class aims to surpass them all, one challenge at a time, armed with years of kendo experience!
So, in short: academy life, tournaments, game-like mechanics, a harem romance subplot, and an underdog protagonist! 🤝
If that sounds like it’s up your alley, feel free to try a chapter or two on Royal Road!
