Starting wonder if the universe has a dark sense of humor and "Depression Quest" had a double meaning the whole time.
There's an anime I recently watched (and enjoyed immensely) where a sociopath salaryman in modern Japan is shoved in front of a train by someone he fired earlier. Time freezes and God speaks to him, telling him that his indifference to the suffering of others has made him a bad person. The salaryman denies that he is God, and responds that people only need and like God because they live bad lives and need someone to help them. People with comfortable lives (like him) don't need God. God gives a very smug "Oh?" and the salaryman realizes he has made a mistake. He told God exactly what to do to punish him the most severely and force him to accept and praise God routinely in his new world where God is his only salvation from oblivion.
This dumb woman invited Hell into her life and we've been suffering the consequences ever since.
That premise kind of falls apart when the world he's reincarnated to has magic and he's a prodigy with it. The lesson would have been a lot harsher if he was born in non-Russia instead of not-Germany. That way even if he was still born with magical aptitude, he'd have been brutally persecuted for it instead of being made a respected officer in the military.
But then he'd just die instead of constantly fumbling into more responsibility when trying to get away from the front lines. Being a godless party member would be eady enough.
Assuming he'd have been able to become a party member. Also he really hates communism, so even if he could have wormed his way into the party it would have been more soul crushing than being given more and more responsibilities in the military.
