Synopsis (machine translated, don’t judge me):

Overrun it. Demons. People. Contraindications.

Alexander, a hero whose hometown was destroyed by the demons, confronts the Demon King, but he is killed without any struggle. However, when Alex, who was supposed to be dead, woke up, he was reborn as the son of the devil who killed him, the seventh demon child, Jilbagias.

In order to counterattack the Demon Lord, he pretended to be committed to his identity and acted as an ideal demon prince - it meant playing a cruel demon and even putting hands on innocent people... But even so. He made a contract with the goddess of the demon world who controls the taboos, and accumulates her power as food for even evil and rageous. Everything is to destroy the Demon Kingdom and save humanity!
This is a story of the collapse of the country by a false demon.

So from what I can tell from the summary, this is about a hero who dies by the demon lord’s hand, and is reincarnated as his son. He decides to use this opportunity to destroy the demon world from within.

I just saw the cover of volume 2 and the premise interested me - it’s not often that you get a reincarnation story which is set in the same world the main character died in. The artist also did So I’m a Spider, So What?, so the character designs are nice. I dunno, I just thought it looked neat.
