Eight years ago, the "Global Fire" took the lives of 3.5 billion people. Some survivors gained superpowers at the cost of losing something. They came to be known as the "Missing". Are they victims, or enemies of humanity?
A classic Japanese-style light novel featuring an ensemble cast and a variety of supernatural elements, including superpowers, nonhumans, vampires, witches, and zombies. It is packed with references to movies, games, anime, and tokusatsu, and the title itself is a riff on The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy!
The main storyline follows the protagonist's journey toward self-redemption and the search for a reason to exist. Each volume advances the main plot while also telling its own self-contained story, in a style reminiscent of the Zaregoto Series, with our side's characters having wildly powerful and outrageous abilities, and the protagonist following a different storyline with each character.
A proper ensemble novel that knows how to tell a story. The first three books are complete, and the whole work has reached a temporary stopping point, with all the early foreshadowing resolved. There's plenty to read, the story has been carefully polished, and the plot is full of twists. The solid storyline is matched by a rich and diverse cast, and the chemistry created by all the different character pairings is one of the highlights! Come give it a read!
