Soubi Seisakukei Cheat de Isekai wo Jiyuu ni Ikite Ikimasu

[Lanfear]

Just an ok series. the MC is meek and servile. His summons are the real stars of the seires.

IF i say it in a few words: It's anti-climatic.
The longer version would be it's constant hit or miss with this series. I like slice of life series but this one mixes standard heroic tale with slice of life, heroic tale is just in growing stage but i'm pretty sure with all the raised flags we will see it.

MMC personality is just the standard Japanese MC. Weak, agreeable and sudden iq falls (author trying to bend the story).
I rated it down in my personal library was 5 (when i started to read) after 3 years i changed i guess and now it's 3.5.
I guess i looked at the series more sober minded and became older and even more "experienced" in manga, so after re-reading it up to chapter 31 i wasn't feeling any excitement or interest, to be precise it just started to nose dive, coupled with critical flaws that author made in beginning of the story.

I stopped reading at chapter 12. This manga is quite enjoyable and lives up to its title. It doesn't sell "oppai" and utilizes its cheats quite well. However, a few things put me off:

• The leveling is unclear (the MC is already level 20, but her stats are only 2.5 times those of level 1. So how high does she need to be to become strong?
• Even though her theme are in slow life, the world is about leveling, so the leveling and stat distribution should be more accurate and clear).
• Uncleaar currency and prices. Even though the theme is slow life, crafting, and trading, the value of money isn't explained. For example, an apple costs 100 and an iron sword costs 6000. But the price of potions isn't explained, even though she often makes potions. Since this is slow life, the author should have focused more on the details of the MC's life.
• The cheats seem OP, but they're actually only for making money. She can craft tools and equipment, and pick up drops that aren't visible like in the game. But she can't get equipment stats because her level is low. the only thing that i think is OP is summon card. (even though i don't expect mc to be OP, at least remove the level limit for mc's equipment, after all in chapter 1.2 mc imagined he would make himself strong with echant equipment, but every time a great equipment appeared he didn't use it because his level was low.

Dayum, there's a debate about morality (and what MC should've done) below...

I'll add fuel to the fire then!

If you somewhat found yourself "isekai'd", you need to understand first and foremost, the settings of it. If it's a "tragedy", it's best to go "shoot first, ask questions later" mentality, if it's like this kind of world...

Can you at least change your name so the ones who summoned you don't find you? And, y'know, change your looks so it won't be easy for them to track you? Also, he has a lot of cheat skills that can break the common knowledge of that world, he can start his own kingdom (if he's cunning and knows what running a country means) or his own business; he doesn't have to lower himself.

Also, if he can dish out a lot of money, why not hire a group of professional adventurers to take him down the rabbit hole of a dungeon, collect easy exp and materials at the same time? So many solutions/routes to take...

But I can understand people who want to live life slow, frankly I like "slice of life" manga.

(I even read shoujo manga with "reverse harem" troupes.)

Yea, I seriously don't understand mc who wants to stay low profile but didn't change name or appearance (cutting/dye hair) for disguise. Even worse, they did everything that can attract attention.

Why does it seem like any time there's a manga that loudly touts how it's an adaptation of something that was highly ranked in some polls or won some sort of award (like the "Let's be a novelist" one that I see a lot) it ends up being the most uninspired, lazy, generic pile of mid ever?

Like... what does that say about the contest/award scene that these stories are competing in if they represent the best of the available options? Rarely do I feel like you get something crowing about its award wins and it ends up being good. Mostly I just question how drunk the voters were if they felt that particular series was worth 1st place.

Depends on a lot of things. Culture in Japan is different from the West, where we're used to more outspoken, extroverted MCs.

The age of the writer is probably a factor as well. People younger than mid-20s tend to write shonen-esque stories.

Lastly is how much literature they've actually consumed. You can tell right away when a writer has only ever read shonen manga or something more juvenile, compared to someone who's been exposed to a variety of wordly authors/stories, and/or who has met a wide variety of people with unique personalities and worldviews.

A lot of these authors just don't really seek enrichment outside of their comfort zone. They've got a very naive and narrow vision of the world and rely purely on their own anecdotal experiences.

I get all those things leading to why this sort of stuff exists in any capacity. I have made many arguments about the existence of slop using those exact points before. My question is how does this sort of stuff win awards.

I get that this is lazy, predictable, lowest-common-denominator follow-the-leader slop. That has its place as the sort of thing that gets self-published or gets put out by magazines just looking to fill as many holes as possible with whatever flavor-of-the-month story type is hot after all the good examples are snapped up.

But how is it that there are all these contests out there that are supposed to weed out the sludge and give praise and boost undiscovered quality work, and yet the things that win the contests are the lazy, predictable, lowest-common-denominator follow-the-leader slop?

And then there are some awards/contest, like "Let's become a Novelist" where I swear to god I don't think I've ever seen a manga touted as being adapted from a story that won that contest that wasn't somewhere between "aggressively cliched/mid" and "radioactive molten garbage"

Winning an award for this story feels like finding out that the winner of an 8th grade spelling bee won by correctly spelling "cat". All it does is make me question how terrible the field must've been for this to be the best it had to offer.
