    I’m an Ex-class Hunter

    While this story recycles a lot of common tropes, I disagree with the other comments on the 'game balance' issue. For starters, we don't (yet) have any reason to believe all stats are balanced. Who would balance them and for what reason? But if the MC's build is of a magic swordsman, there's...

    Yuusha Party wo Tsuihou sareta node, Maou wo Torikaeshi ga Tsukanai hodo Tsuyoku Sodatetemita

    I wouldn't call this a paragon of manga but I'm appreciating that this one is managing to be just different enough to be worth enjoying. After all, it's harder and harder to find new variations the more you've read. From as far as I've read I think it helps that we haven't spent a stupid number...

    Danzai no Majutsugari

    I can't really recommend this, as much as I want to. It's basically a 'one season' series but it feels like it's the disappointing sequel series that is missing the good first season. Everything is rushed and frankly unsatisfying. More specifically, this feels like a mid-section of Fullmetal...

    FFF-Class Trashero

    I'm only partway though but I've gotten far enough to get an idea of what this is. I've just skimmed a few of the early comments and what I've seen there tells me people didn't really get it (except maybe the ones that read novels or something). See, the MC being punished isn't even the real...

    GATE - Jieitai Kanochi nite, Kaku Tatakaeri

    I enjoyed the early stages of this but as it drags on it feels like the author is making arbitrary choices to try and keep subverting expectations. And while it might be worse to be too predictable it's exhausting to look at every single situation and be like "okay, how is it going to get fucked...

    Cassmire: The Loyal Sword

    The double edged sword here is that technically things are not going the way she wants, as her goal is to set up her sister to be the main character while also protecting her from the harm she would have had to endure. The smart thing about this approach is that there would predictably be...

    Monster Pet Evolution - Ch. 212

    What is this situation with the medusa? How is she not completely weirded about by this interaction? Rather than translated with AI, was this conversation written by AI in the first place?

    Shikkoku Tsukai no Saikyou Yuusha

    There is a semblance of an enjoyable story here but it's buried under a relentless slog of an inane and inconsistent philosophy which dodges back and forth around the cliche'd conflicted heroes performing impossible mental gymnastics to avoid killing evil people. What makes it go beyond into...

    Shikkoku Tsukai no Saikyou Yuusha - Vol. 6 Ch. 31.2

    Okay, but seriously why let the slave trafficking murder hobos run away to start over new lives as a happy family? Assuming they even get THAT far. You can't possibly believe they were ONLY evil because of hypno hero. I WILL flip a table if I find out later they come back into the story as...

    The Gardener in a Hunter World

    A few chapters in and the ability progression itself is going nicely. But this guy's attitude is going to give me a new pet peeve. The trope about a character having no self esteem or not knowing their worth can be interesting when applied in certain ways but I've never enjoyed a situation where...

    Dame Skill [Auto Mode] ga Kakuseishimashita ~Are, Guild no Scout-san, Ore wo "Iranai"-tte Itte Masendeshita?~

    I find that the enjoyment of this one goes up and down, it's probably going to be hit and miss for most people. It's not entirely bad but it also throws in enough tropes that it's not anywhere near always good. There's probably too many minor things to comment on every one, so I think the main...

    TS Eiseihei-san no Senjou Nikki - Ch. 6

    So my 2 cents - if we're supposed to go with 'FPS gamer isekai' there really should have been less confusion on the MC part. Yeah, she's in crazy pain which could excuse not thinking, but why even have that backstory if it's not going to come up at relevant times. I saw some people praising him...

    TS Eiseihei-san no Senjou Nikki

    I mean, it should be a little concerning how young some of these combatants look. We can only assume the top brass believes they are close to breaking the other side, or that suing for peace is impossible. But given your point, it's likely they have run out of able-bodied ... bodies to throw at...

    Tsuihou Sareta Tensei Juu Kishi wa Game Chishiki de Musou Suru

    It makes more sense in this case - his build was probably well documented in terms of the game on Earth but as an isekai the 'natives' were never willing to risk dying even once. Removing the ability to revive after death changes the dynamic for creating and testing builds which may have risky...

    The Frontier Alchemist ~ I Can't Go Back to That Job After You Made My Budget Zero

    I mean, Hippos are one of the most dangerous land animals in the world right? And they're also at home in shallow water. Not sure about their actual speed or stamina as transportation or cargo though.

    The Invincible Summoner Who Crawled up From Level 1 - Vol. 3 Ch. 14

    I'm trying to not insert modern western sensibilities here but the content and nature of this conversation seems like it would be problematic in most cultural contexts. Sure, demihumans are bottom of the totem pole and humans don't care if they are murdered, kidnapped/enslaved or raped, but is...

    The Swordmaster's Son

    The running theme for this series seems to be a love of setting up rules for the setting and then breaking those rules somehow. As much as I am still able to enjoy the overall progression I do find it concerningly predictable that rules WILL be broken even if I don't know exactly how. Friends...

    Guild no Cheat na Uketsukejou

    Well the series is marked as completed now, so I can say with some confidence that it is a bit disappointing. I don't dislike the concept at all but the entire thing is set up like a prequel or background worldbuilding for another series. There was some action but it was more of a teaser than...

    Isekai Samurai

    I'm looking forward to seeing more of this. A genuine example of 'doing right for the wrong reasons' and doing some actual examination of significant culture clash. So far the only glaring trope is having her and her swords (well, all weapons) be OP, although it'll be interesting to see what...

    Ore no Ie ga Maryoku Spot datta Ken – Sundeiru dake de Sekai Saikyou - Ch. 167

    By this point they could've just rerouted his house's toilet to the sealed area and his literal shit would have purified everything by now.
