The Useless Prince Is A Gangster
DEATH COULDN’T KILL HIM—IT JUST GAVE HIM A NEW LIFE TO DESTROY.
Reo Carter was a name that made even the hardest killers shudder. A perfect hitman—no hesitation, no mercy. Until his own crew turned on him, leaving him bleeding out in a pile of bodies that used to be his enemies.
But fate wasn’t done with him.
He wakes up in a world of nobility, magic, and honor duels—trapped in the body of Leonhardt Caulem, the weakest, most useless son of Duke Caulem. A spoiled brat with no skill, no spine, and a reputation so pathetic that even servants look down on him.
They think he’s weak? They have no idea who they just brought back.
- Swords and magic? He spent his last life dodging bullets—this is child’s play.
- Dueling etiquette? A knife in the ribs is the only honor that matters.
- A noble’s life of luxury? He’s had enough backstabbing for one lifetime, thanks.
He was once a ghost in the underworld—a man who didn’t exist. Now, in a world where strength is everything, he’s about to remind them what true fear looks like.
The hitman is back. And this time, he’s aiming for something more.

Hello everyone, this is the author, and I’d like to clarify a few things: 1. There will be no harem, NTR, yaoi, or yuri in this story. 2. The female lead won’t appear for most of the book—possibly not until 75% into the story—but the plot revolves entirely around her. 3. There will be no R18 scenes. But full of voilence 4. Yandere characters will be present.
yo...I am curious about the gangsta, lemme join the gang.
Personally, there's too much purple prose, but the story is good so it's still worth a try.
If you're a wandering reader tired of all the smut-filled nonsense on Webnovel and happened to stumble across this story, wondering whether it's worth your time — let me help you out. The Positives: The story doesn’t waste time getting interesting. It hooks you fast and keeps you there. The writing quality is excellent. I didn’t spot any glaring mistakes or cringe-worthy flowery prose that kills the mood. The protagonist is engaging and behaves realistically, especially considering his background as a gangster in a past life. The update frequency is solid. There aren’t a ton of side characters yet, but the ones that are present have noticeable depth and purpose. Now, for the negatives: There aren’t many chapters out yet, so it's hard to judge thoroughly — and of course, everyone has their own opinions on what counts as a negative. That said, there’s one part I personally didn’t enjoy: when the protagonist meets the goddess. Her behavior felt off to me. She’s a divine being, not a child, so her characterization in that scene didn’t sit right. Aside from that, this story has a lot of potential. Author, keep up the great work. Don’t feel pressured — just stay consistent and please, finish this one before jumping into another project. I’m really enjoying it and looking forward to what’s next!
I enjoyed reading this alot and got really engrossed in it. I like that his doing this for Chloe but I hoped that he'd fall for rin and the maid also cause I enjoyed their characters so well out
One of the few new novels that truly deserves a five-star rating. ✔ Great writing ✔ Great MC ✔ Interesting story What I love most about this novel is the protagonist. He’s ruthless to his enemies but a genuinely decent person to those who deserve it. Many authors struggle to strike this balance, often making the MC seem like an indecisive child. But here, it’s executed perfectly, making for a refreshing and compelling read. keep up the good work author !

I will say there are a few editing errors, mostly a very occasional misspelled word or a missing space with two words running together. Other than that, so far, FANTASTIC. Interesting MC, reckless but logical (and infinitely handleable) decisions and a slowly developing world. 26 chapters in, and I will tell you now, prepare for blood splatter. MC is not a murderhobo or a blood obsessed psycho. What he is, is a merciless (but not souless) killer working thru some issues, and so far, it's beautifully written. I mean that, the fight scenes are clearer than 90 percent of the writers on this site, and I am eager to read more.
Mhm, Ok, I like picasso !!!............. This is deadass the shortest review I've ever done, but the novel is honestly just GREAT. Keep up the good work author!
i like the development so far , but let me just give my opinion , he shoud not be the good hero type , he should be the badass cruel hero type , only caring about saving the world due to his promise with he goddess to find chloe , he shouldn't care about anyone else , in fact he should use ,manipulate , kill to achive his goals , hw shoul be the ruthless hero type , who won't sacrifice .
Strong start really nice hook at the beginning, i liked the plot twist at the beginning too and the character development is pretty soild, but i think the world building and the transitions need more work
