Well, now that we have an ending, I can say that it's not exactly like the prediction above but it's still pretty abrupt and I think will be less satisfying than what could have been. Overall I don't felt like I wasted my time with it, though.

For what it's worth, I definitely don't blame it on the folks doing the work of bringing it over here. As a series that now has an anime, it only makes sense that there should be interest in the manga. Anything I wrote was strictly my thoughts on the original work as I understand it.

I've defended a number of mid and even bad stories before but I really don't think this one deserves any defending. For anyone asking how it got an anime when it's like this, the answer is that they rewrote a bunch of it. So I guess I'll be curious how much they actually kept. Half the time it...

There's like one panel where the bandit hideout has some ambiguous generic violence in the background. That's about it. Edit: You could also infer that there is constant sexual violence off screen, or that we're just one argument away from it happening, but it simply hasn't been shown otherwise...

I think the obvious answer to what everyone keeps asking is that MC could absolutely be a good swordsman. He just can't impress people who don't value HIS style of swordsmanship, which would likely lean toward a more delicate/precise style rather than raw strength. In a way, it's like all those...

Gonna be honest I'm not even really following the plot anymore. I'd ask for a summary but I kinda just don't care and want to move on to a new arc sooner rather than later. I feel like if I did understand exactly what's going on it would just make me super annoyed.

When the story does get time to shine it does alright but 3/4 of every chapter is just the main girls either staring at eachother or fantasizing about eachother. A little bit of teasing and maybe a little bit of action wouldn't be bad but it's a bit much on the sparklevision ratio.

If your most important factor is a 'decent story' when why are you reviewing isekai? 90% are going to be trash, there's not gotcha moment here. It'd be more remarkable if it wasn't mostly recycling something someone else already did. The point in reviewing isekai, or trash in general is whether...

Without going into it, I have to say that revenge itself isn't really a long term plot point, there is an overarching story that is being told and any individual revenge is a small piece in the whole. But you do see something that is a long term fixture, where he is basically an intelligent...

There is one thing everyone seems to be getting wrong about this - yes, it is completely unoriginal in the overpowered dungeon /player/ premise but what it DOES do uniquely is somehow manage to turn that concept into a slice of life series where there is no actual plot! It will just end one day...

I can't help but feel that the intro's a mess. To be sure, there's some important details being dropped but you can't fully appreciate it until they get around to referencing it later. Once it does get going, it feels a little better although at that point it's less unique compared to other...

I couldn't get very far before I felt compelled to comment here. The only thing dumber than the MC is the writer themself. What I've seen of this series so far is the epitome of 'idiot plot' but it lacks the excuse of having presented itself as the sort of saturday morning cartoon where you...

Had to go to another site to actually read this. It's actually pretty good if you don't mind the fundamental logic that ensure MC always wins. Just speaking in general, you can expect a few conceits that dictate everything: 1) MC will find ways to combine old knowledge with new so he will...

There looks to be a fair amount that is standard fare for a regression story, namely amassing power earlier in the timeline. But there are elements of the timeline being changed that make this interesting even if it's not entirely original.

I would like this series a lot more if half of it wasn't just the FL in her head trying to gaslight herself or indulging thoughts that never go anywhere. It's fine (and even refreshing) that her foreknowledge isn't as helpful as in other series and she isn't as certain, but it's just SOOOOOO...

This would be pretty mid but it's actually more funny than it has any right to be. Compared to other stories in the same genre, this one's unique take seems to be having the story and characters adapting more proactively to the actions of the 'outsider'. It was an interesting choice to skip past...

There are some interesting things going on here but the foremost antagonist(s) really outstay their welcome due to being... incomprehensible. I have no idea what the author was thinking here but it's hard to be invested when we have other isekais that do each individual thing being done here...

I fear that the plot is a little too obvious but for what it is, I enjoyed it so far. There's something appealing about people being punished for not thinking and just being knee-jerk assholes to everyone below them. But yeah, I've got a pretty good idea of where this is going and that makes me...

I was genuinely interested in this series and seeing where it would go as MC grew in talent and confidence. I took a break after they changed up the status quo in a major way and when i came back it's all gone anyway. So... yeah not gonna bother looking for the rest.

There are lots of things to like and I have respect for the effort that went into this. I think I'm a flip from some of the other commentors here in that I much prefer the worldbuilding to the characters. For the world's logic and plot I am simply waiting for more, happy to digest it as it...
