I think this had the potential of being a very good slice of life. Our main boy could’ve been the best clean up guy or something, while mixing in action and world building. Turning him into a kaiju kinda ruined it a little. I mean, it has made this series a lot more interesting, but still has some flaws. If I where the author, I would’ve had our main dude investigate the kaiju while cleaning them up, while having our second main boy join the kaiju defense force. Our second main boy could’ve reported all the abnormalities to his friend, being our main guy. Also, what the fuck is combat power?! I get the whole soldier thing about mobility and strength, but I still don’t understand how that applies to guns.

Good Start, powerful even. Comedy was good and MC interesting. After that he meets blonde tsundere, reveals that he is a monster to her, and became comedy relief character. Now is meh for me.

I like that the author has the decency to do subtle world building without just plot dumping in one huge load. We're just thrown into this world where Kaijus are a normal, deadly event that just so happens to occur to these people, on the same level as a natural disaster. No character just casually dumping the origin of kaijus in some forced way, just a natural flow of what this society is like. We aren't told the suit is made out of kaiju muscle, MC just comments on himself feeling the kaiju muscle. I do have one complaint related to this though, apparently we are in contemporary Japan, and apparently there have been "kaiju slaying clans" going back to at least 1573(Maramuchi Period) according to Mr. Katana, but if that's the case, how did humanity even survive this long? These attacks seem to take place on a much more frequent basis than Hurricanes or Earthquakes, apparently on an almost monthly basis, so humanities development would have been held back by this immensely. Furthermore, it's strange that we apparently aren't integrating kaiju resources into buildings, and just using standard housing for most people which easily gets destroyed, I'd imagine we'd either try to build away from where the kaiju are, or build structures resistant to kaiju attacks.

As far as the characters go, I don't really like any of the female characters. MC's childhood friend is frigid, which is understandable, but she doesn't even seem to relax around her friends. Meanwhile, twintails is just a touch too cliche of a character.

it's up to chapter 16 now, but the only sites I can find it on are ad-riddled shitfests.

just have adblockers and popup blockers i use several adblockers and 2 popblockers
adblock plus, ublock orgin, and adguard for adblocks
popup blocker pro and adguard for popup blockers it works really well. you dont need to have adguard but i just have it since i thought itll work better. ublock works to block crunchyroll ads. and popup blocker pro asks you if you want to see the popup so its good and all of them are free.
