Looks good so far, but it has barely started. I give it 7.5/10, rounded up. The MC seems to be more limited than usual; he has an item box, appraisal magic, debuff nullification, a cleaning spell, and two cockatrice allies. That's weak by isekai standards, but actually not bad objectively...

It's dumb but kinda refreshing. I give it 6.5/10, rounded up. This is a typical isekai taken to extremes. In the first ten minutes, the MC reaches stat levels that can only be described by scientific notation, and subdues a divine dragon that becomes a cute girl. He goes on to become a farmer...

This is OK, I guess. I give it 7/10. Highschooler gets isekaied with a magic book that lets her make magic potions. So far, it's a tale of her making potions, selling them, and gradually expanding her business. It's not a bad setup, but it's inherently limited. Normally with alchemists...

Eh, Penne breaks my sense of immersion a little. It's vaguely possible for there to be a highly competent 10yo yakuza granddaughter. And yeah, then it makes sense that she fixates on the also very young MC. That's allowable plot setup. But having a 10yo mob enforcer strains credulity; you...

This manga is weird, but novel. I guess it rates 7.5/10, rounded down? It's about a bi-curious female student who illicitly sneaks into a glamorous girl's room every night hoping for some action, but her love interest is on the spectrum and doesn't notice the subtext at all, so every night she...

This one is interesting; a genuinely novel concept. I would be forced to rate it 9/10 just for that. The MC is a psychic who stumbles onto her future husband too soon; accidentally interacting with him while he's still a kid causes her happy future to be ruined, and now she must figure out how...

Yeah, the insect-using doctor would be a cool character to have around, if he turns out to be innocent. I'll be pleasantly surprised if the author is competent enough to subvert expectations that much. I guess the alternative is that the yakuza butler did it?

Charming story, and I always like tales of old people making waves. I give it 9/10. There's been a bunch of stories about unusual dungeon streamers, but I like this one the best. The humour is nice, the granddaughter is cute and clever, and even the audience is pretty decent. Also, it's got a...

This is not bad; so far I give it 7.5/10, rounded up. I feel like it skips over the protagonist's actual abilities in favour of social interaction, which is not ideal; knowing his limits is the basics for making him seem clever by circumventing those limits. I also feel like he ought to have...

I feel like the whole Ilumgand situation, along with others, gives more depth to the world; there are things the MC doesn't know, and his followers have agendas of their own that don't 100% coincide with his. Makoto has flaws, and those flaws have real consequences in this world, even if in the...

Huh. It's hyperviolent, moderately raunchy and has less plot than a Tom&Jerry cartoon... but I certainly can't say it's boring. The art is good and interesting. Overall the vibe feels somewhere between Panty & Stocking and Exploitation Now. I like what I've been able to glean about the...

Again she's playing on easy mode, because every stone she finds can just simply be melted and alloyed with a metal. Some materials can't be melted at all or their properties are destroyed. Some materials need to be melted in an oxygen-less environment or they burn up. I want her to actually...

Hm, actually not bad, I give it 7.5/10, rounded down. It has hints of originality, though they're not properly developed. The author needs to spend more time thinking about the plot and setting, IMO, maybe discuss it with readers? There's both Skills and Magic, and it seems both can be...

Meh. Manages to somehow be generic and exaggerated at the same time. 6/10. The MC is underestimated to the extreme, but is actually overpowered to the extreme. He looks down on the hero party like they're squabbling kids. Everyone else is so incompetent it's a wonder they're alive. Also he's...

Eh, it's slapdash. I rate this one as 6.5/10, rounded down. The art is good enough, but the plot and worldbuilding feels very ad hoc. It's not that the MC doesn't have goals, but they're decided offhandedly without much thought. Normally, if you decided to spread a better way to do taming...
