Never trust the squinty ones.

I'm very happy that he didn't get a cheat skill

 

[Yagart]

shota

 

[Dogalicious]

I like this god. So far the best example of a higher being trying to be understanding but not really giving a shit. Usually they are too nice, too psychotic, or too clueless despite being a higher being.

 

[Shamz]

Is this how the Japanese heavily feel about cheats? Like if they got isekai or someone wrote a story without the "Oh with a cheat i can do everything!" they would actually just right out dont want it? when the fact is plot armor is the real cheat. So they dont want an interesting life but an easy mode. ok

The man is so needy💀

So what do you expect him to do then?

 

[MiguelH224]

The man is so needy💀

Can you honestly blame him? Someone without any experience in fighting or using a weapon, being thrusted into a world he doesn't know filled with monsters that can end him at any time


You'd act the same exact way if you were in his shoes

 

[Podji1002]

Best depiction of a god ive seen so far

 

[Ernergeycey]

that god is cookin somethin

 

[theredendermen]

Kudos to him, he tried to barter with a god, and that actually takes balls.

 

[Kaarme]

A world full of weapons, magic, and skills. Our world has two of those: weapons and skills. In fact our world has a whole lot more weapons and skills than any sword & sorcery world. Naturally magic is missing, but two out of three isn't so bad. I feel like the suspicious god's slogan should instead be "weapons, magic, and monsters".

man... fuck you vector

 

[EchoGirl]

It would be fun to watch him be a lil' shit to other reincarnators but it's quite rare to see a 'male' god in the intro as opposed to some 'beauty goddess'

Kudos to him, he tried to barter with a god, and that actually takes balls.

there are other isekais were goddess are generous with skills/gives you OP powers but other than ppl already being into it, i'm surprised more ppl aren't given a choice or so.

Saving the world aside maybe there's one out there that wants master cooking skills and goes around doing a food truck service or so

 

[nekaz]

damn babies needing their OP hax n skills at the beginning BACK IN MY DAY WE GRINDING BOTH WAYS UPHILL TO SCHOOL

 

[RedlineAlchemist]

Something tells me being able to see your status won't be unique.

You mean fox-eyed. That's the actual term for characters with eyes like that when you're not trying to be racist. But yeah because of the stereotype for foxes to be sneaky and crafty in manga there's a trend of fox-eyed characters being untrustworthy.

 

[Darkshade13]

So they dont want an interesting life but an easy mode. ok

That's like 98% the point of these stories. They're for beaten-down, depressed, bottom-of-the-social/corporate-ladder types who hate how their life is just a constant grind and harassment from asshole teachers or superiors while they never get ahead. But Japanese society demands that you bear your suffering with good grace and humility instead of, y'know, doing something about it (not helped by the fact that the social system is basically rigged to disadvantage a person who does try to do something. Instead of fixing the problem, Japan simply chooses to medicate it by encouraging people to get blackout drunk on a regular basis and read escapist slop nonsense like isekai manga. Because why stop the bad things from happening when you can just pretend that making people sort of feel a little better sometimes is just as good?

 

[Phelix]

So what do you expect him to do then?

To man up and figure it the fuck out.

You got a new world. Explore it. Learn it. Grow through it.
