this was going to be a big post on chapter 6 but figured it'd serve as a review of what to expect if you're thinking about getting into this
....
(chapter 6) pretty garbage chapter tbh
and its on a rather garbage track record too
muscular loser teacher picking on perhaps the most attractive and (creepily) intelligent guy in school
punishes him by making our MC do some heavy lifting and learns this guy is freakishly strong as a result
still... he persists b/c he's all brawn no brain
despite the blatant harassment no one dares gossip about him or Yuuya's relatives who are even more belligerent (but i'll briefly mention what their gossip bubbles wound up being used for)
-yeah, doubt this would ever actually happen, cuz his days as just a fugly short buta have come and gone (he literally draws attention for seemingly no reason, its not like he's got some charm skill or a passive that draws aggro)
-^ on this, even him rejecting girls on the street with a solemn look garners a rather interesting reaction, which leaves this to be unrealistic even by this manga's ridiculous standards
so how are these three held accountable when caught out on their worst behavior yet?
well coincidentally nice girl honor student waifu who attends insert elite school, checking all the boxes for her trope i see, decides to do an extensive background check on the "nice guy" who saved her and everyone related to him
-not at all weird
-welp she's got lots of her papa's money to burn so ig its not up to us immoral plebeians to judge her
mind you this all happens at the best possible timing and berates them, embarrassing the trio of fuckfaces in front of a bunch of students
naturally they got a bad case of "young master" syndrome so despite all that posturing hoping they'd get into an elite school
-only to get thoroughly exposed
they're about to jump Yuuya or wreck their grandpa's place next chapter
then there's the secretary, the one with the chronic bitch face
her existence draws admiration cuz
she's a secretary?
some even uttering oh mann she's so cooooool, yeah great way to utilize the gossip bubbles, giving us great insight into the mob mentality
this just builds on problems in previous chapters
MC runs into an American(just saying, no proof of what language Yuuya was speaking)
saves American (again, just saying..)
speaks american (once again...), crowd reaction? top notch hottie with a kid
-its unnatural
and for our boy to be lacking in any awareness
him using martial arts b/c wuju magics skill acquisition probably works as downloading information to muscle memory (so its passable)
but he has precaution, he's able to quickly analyze any given situation
which takes the shape as some weird intuition, analyzing all information within a given space and he even has an intelligence factor of 2k
stats don't make sense, but im not here to harp on how stat points work, believe it or not im not out to nitpick about everything
he has like 5k strength doesn't think its weird if he flaunts it in such a way
understands he's only able to carry this many boxes solely b/c of his stats
doesn't really think how this could "look" problematic or out of the ordinary
just the fact that his first response to this situation is to carry THAT many (guess thats that 10 star "comedy" genre we love so much)
once again 2k points in intelligence and if you go by the reactions towards him solving whatever question his teacher asked
his reasoning skills are through the roof
so...
he's actually autistic (don't get me wrong i highly doubt that this is a commentary on autism, this appears to be far too shallow to even make that attempt)
and not just him EVERYONE is practically written to be some caricature of an autistic person or sociopath, except 2 women so far
@Blackstone no, but the projection is nice
grants more insight into your character than the 101 (soon to be 102) you believe you've exposed
im surprised your assumption is that there's something wrong with the dissenters
do you know how many people buy into isekai slow life isekai architecture and isekai cooking life?
what is actually wrong with you? you legit have no reason to make this assertion
since isekais are normally always given a pass
know what i think?
if you actually like this
either you've got brain worms, a real bad case of it
put very 0 thought when it comes to thinking and reflecting on the contents of each chapter
or you read the light novel and know something the rest of us don't know
b/c so far
its comedy has been dirt, didn't even think any aspect of this was supposed to actually be funny
-but after reflecting ig its supposed to be funny that our MC is unrealistically dense, is squeamish, and pops out a chibi face every other page he's not in some SUPER INTENSE FIGHT
its drama has been has been akin to any generic wuxia comic you'd see on the streets
themes?
yeah we got magics we got monsters and school life too
the art is better than the average isekai imo
but really... that's all it has going for it
action? every monster he's ruthlessly killed gets 1 shot (yes he exterminates any form of life that isn't human and poses no threat to him... doesn't feel any type of way about seeing the gore either)
adventure? none yet
romance? saves 3 girls they all like him... typical damsel in distress, suspension bridge effect having bs
fantasy? woo passing grade you are indeed a fantasy
isekai? woahhhh another passing grade you are indeed an isekai
so the plot is nothing special
the characters range from generic to garbage
the dialogue is trash and painful to get through
4 out of 7 genres FAIL, falling flat on their faces
and the remaining 3 pass b/c they are true aspects about the setting not b/c there's anything great about whats done
this is not something
i can't recommend to anyone
this is not something that even passes as a 5 star isekai, unless you think the art's going to carry its innumerable glaring faults
but all this proves is..
that any isekai trash will garner a large group of readers, the majority of which will eat the shit up
and be thankful that they have worms infesting their brains
perhaps this infuriates me so much cuz this is the kind of real cringey shit i used to write when i was 12, but threw away in embarrassment
the kinda shit i thought was real cool at first till i read it with a sober mind
who knows maybe thats why people like this, they find it endearing.
last side note
advice that i myself should take
if you read something like this
that over the course of 6 bloody chapters
reveals itself to be of this type of quality...
just drop it... just fucking drop it... its not going to get better
and understand there's a japanese audience feeding into this shit with their money so the author is definitely never going to change
after all his wallet is dependent on the fact he follows garbage tropes with shit writing to appeal to the average lizard brain
b/c something is wrong with a lot of people
i'm just going to add this edit
this is at no way aimed at Party Scans or Einherjar Scans they do a great job bringing many manga, that otherwise no one would no about, to light
my problems solely lie with the author, not so much the artist (though a different artist should have been used)
also reading this and thinking its good are two different things
i can read generic wuxia as a means of wasting time so long as its not too stupid
and i understand fully well that these are not good stories with great characters
