What's with that dragon design, lol.
Anyway, i'm just stay for the dryad, nothing else.

Only the second time I've seen a reincarnation from fruit.

The second one needs an anime, it already has a light novel and a manga.

Spoiler: You can find it yourself, but here's why the second fruit one is funny

Truck-Kun missed. The tonne of apples on the back of Truck-Kun didn't. Which meant we didn't have Reincarnated As A Truck.

Ah yes, the technically-vore isekai.

Very interesting that all of his attribute stats increased, but HP/MP remained unchanged. You'd think that things like VIT / INT would boost those respectively.

Same, but if his MP was any bigger, there's a chance he might've tried a stronger spell that would inflict irreparable damage to the planet.

If I’m the dryad I would draw “Template 1” on her forhead.

 

[FlameKingInferno]

ignore all the previous people who tried calculating the 1.35e+68, cause this is the correct calculation https://converthere.com/numbers/1.35e+68-written-out

 

[w4ffles]

It's been so long since I read this that I decided to start over from the first chapter. The author must have been thinking "haha big number funny" but it's far into the realm of nonsensical even for fantasy. The stat scaling would have to be logarithmic to an insane degree but then that would be a shitty world design. Like would you play a game that told you you needed 1,000,000,000,000,000 strength to double your damage dealt? Then to double it again you'd need a billion times the previous amount? I would call the author stupid.

Small small creatures... Also dang that MC has some good mental math. I wouldn't be able to calculate the number of digits of 112^4 off the top my head.

You've got it reversed
4^122 not 122^4

Isekai Isekai no MI fruit.

 

[Soren59]

Bruh, with that much strength he could turn the entire planet into cosmic spacedust by just sneezing

 

[Shamz]

I dont like the op bs but im more bothered by how the dragon attacking him still lead him to treat nicely of the dragon. I really hate the japs "nice guy" ideology. They are denying basic human behavior. Sure he wasnt harmed because hes that strong now but this actually makes the character characterless. I bet this is just like the other "nice guy" mcs where they get pushed around by the "friendlies" even when hes powerful. OP = bland mc.

riritto is credited on one page here but not the main entry? unless he only did the light novel illust(?)

altho the dragon suddenly being cowardly reminds me of proud wolf from the slime isekai

 

[RyuuStarLight]

Any system engineers wanna vent? I feel like the job choice in this manga is oddly specific lol

 

[ChocoMacchia]

Did he say...67!?

 

[essensue]

Oh, you mean the memorably-named The Reincarnated Sage's Isekai Life: Gaining a Second Profession and Becoming the Strongest in the World?
Also relevant because its deadpan MC is such a good parody of the "bland OP MC" that @Shamz is fed up with. Crap, is this series actually The Slime Isekai* without the irony? *(no not THAT slime isekai)

Any system engineers wanna vent? I feel like the job choice in this manga is oddly specific lol

I feel like I've seen at least 4 or 5 slop-tier isekai series where the MC was specifically an SE. So maybe authors think it will be a career that readers will recognize as "worse than death and subsequent isekai tensei."

But I doubt you'll find any System Engineers here to vent,

Spoiler: because it's not a job that exists outside Japan.

Despite the name, it's actually not an IT (infrastructure) job.

It's actually a project management job for software development, where the SE is the liason between the client (a different company than the one the MC works for, in this case, but can be internal or external generally) and the actual code monkeys (internal to the SE's company or outsourced entirely.)

Example: Client needs e.g. some line-of-business software made. You as the SE work with the client to establish what the finished product can and should do, and then you take that to the devs and supervise them making it. Maybe you also coordinate as the client sets up and starts using it.

A SE doesn't really know IT, they probably have little-to-no coding skill/experience themselves, and they're not really "in charge" so much as "responsible when it goes wrong." The skills required are (1) project management (2) being able to talk to the disposable nerds that make the actual software and (3) being able to navigate Japanese BusinessTM and interface with the clients.

Even using the job title of "System Engineer" suggests that the job is at a "traditional" company, likely "black"/illegally exploitative, rather than a more modern/tech-focused one, where the job titles and skills would line up with int'l standards, e.g. "Project Manager" or "Software Engineer."

So, why is it translated as "System Engineer?" Because the job title is literally システムエンジニア - katakana that reads "Shisutemu Enjinia."

So I'll vent for the MC instead, based on his pg. 4 description and what I've read online:

Spoiler: Sounds real bad.

If we charitably assume his salary is average, our MC probably makes the equivalent of $35k USD annually while working 60-hour-plus weeks.

He says he's stationed at the client's offices while on a job, so:

• The client has probably given him a shabby corner, a broom closet in the basement, or a spot in the break room right next to the noisy vending machines where he can spend his days working.
• The rank-and-file employees that are around him every day avoid him and treat him like a nuisance because he's a suspicious outsider that deals with their management and doesn't fit into their very rigid Japanese BusinessTM hierarchy.
• The client co.'s management that he deals with are arrogant and ignorant and make impossible demands. MC is seen as a necessary evil who's probably trying to rip them off and never has the answers they want to hear.

As a System Engineer:

• He's a middleman between the client and the outsourced coders, on behalf of the corporation he works for. So that's three big parties he's accountable to and has to extract stuff from on behalf of one another.
• The coders he's supposed to be wrangling are not his friends, either. He's exclusively dealing with Traditional Japanese Businesses, and software devs have been Traditionally regarded as easily-replaced parts in a machine rather than people. Think "burger flipper" or "assembly line factory worker." So to them, MC is the face of both Corporate and the Client, neither of whom treat them with any respect.
• And the devs have to look at whatever nonsense requirements the MC has pieced together from the client's demands and either thanklessly deliver the impossible or send him back with notes to try again.

While back at his corporate office:
- It's the worst possible work environment. No real reason to interact with peers. Openly abusive supervisors, cult-like atmosphere, no regard for employment law... or employees. They're literally working themselves to near-death and getting their pay cut for their trouble.

It sounds very stressful, hopeless, and lonely.

So yeah, I'd be running down the middle of a lane of traffic toward the warm embrace of truck-kun's grille.

@essensue Hey i read that one before i got fed up with bland op mc. Enjoyed it until it got bland or it stopped updating and forgotten.

 

[Xonthelon]

Corporate slave (damn, it is quite sad if you even call it your occupation), arriving in another world, immediately maxing out stats, no emotional reaction to being transferred or threatened by a f*cking dragon, casting spells with zero explanation, getting beginner magic mistaken for legendary magic, dragon waifu get in chapter 1...

I don't mind the slow life genre, but for that to work, the characters have to be at least remotely interesting.

I should continue avoiding series with "cheat" in the title. Fells like they are a dud in >90% of the cases.
