Though there is some narrative bumps and the usual cliche, the story is unique with the fact that the author understands how readers will think.
There are some occasions where the reader follows the op isekai cliche or meriting not from his ability but from a higher power multiple times. But, mc understands his lack of merit to his achievements, and the author shows that the other central characters understand mc benefits not from his ability but from others too
the gods
. He even changes the narrative against the cliche whenever it is used afterwards.
one recent example is the god of gods agrees to stop his support for mc after the defeat of the silver wolf bc mc needs to adapt himself
Some readers, like I initially, do not like the fact he is so weak and needs to depend on others; however,
he strives gets stronger and understands his fragility. He was originally from Earth; the unique point in the beginning of the series is the fact that he does not gain any stat enhancements; his ability is that of a regular Japanese high schooler.
There is need to accept this fact: he is a normie (lol); he is pretty much introduced as the generic harem slice-of-life weak dutz.
But, he does take initiatives (like complementing people and sympathizing with criticism).
Enjoy-ability: 8/10; Characters: 6.5/10;
Recommend: 9/10
Hope this series does not get dropped; but recent chapter is also a good resting point.
As of the last chapter, I'm wondering—this occasionally nudges a little towards going in creepier directions without ever really going there, but with the "oh no the slave trader from before, who had some of the characters in little cages previously, is totally a nice dude" in this last chapter, I can't help but worry a bit where this might end up going just on the power of it's own bad writing.
To be clear, this series has its merits (within the context of isekai, anyway). It plays with the "isekai guy gets OP powers" idea a bit, at least toying with the idea that the god(s) helping him really are "cheating" and there might be trouble down the line caused by it. The characters are generally genial, which is nice, and the author is okay (not great, but okay) at cheesy feel-good moments.
I just have my doubts that the author isn't quite thinking about some of this other stuff enough.
A friend tells me that in the novel vol 6 he is in another world with classmates ??? I'm a little lost, someone who read the novels to explain myself a little?
I hope that Amelia will reappear at a certain moment, I continue this manga just for that ...
I honestly don't know why I continued reading this for 14 chapters... it's only getting worse.
MC is a childish idiot
pretty much all problems are just resolved with deus ex machina skills/favors/whatever
Really wish a different translation team would pick this up. The story is so light hearted and never takes itself seriously that it makes it a breath of fresh air over other isekai that try to be edgy or mature or dense in lore and information.
the release is from a trash pay group, its worse buy jp pubs cutting down the chpts in releases, blame pubs for more poor trash half releases, and blame lh for only releasing when enough money is paid and angry other groups arent as crooked
