To make it quick, I drop this novel yesterday. Since most people here already wrote what I am thinking/feeling and the reason as to why I drop this novel, I will make it a quick one. It started out very good, I mean VERY good and seem to have GREAT potential, but then along the way, it go down hill.

I am one of those that like MC that are OP and are willing to dirty their hands and not letting other orders him around. Well, this is not what I... more>> was looking forward to...I give it some chance at around chapters 100 to see if it get better but, it's now 37 chapters later, MC is still a pu*sy with his OP godly power AND still let other boss/insult him around.

P.S Mio is awsome and best girl... kill those that block your path. <<less

Writing: 7.5

Entertainment: 8

Story: 6

... more>> I have overall liked this story but it does come with lots of flaws

The Relationships and Character Development: In the beginning the MC gets two unique harem members that stay with the MC pretty much throughout the entire story but throughout the story the character never really or at least hasn't yet developed any actual meaningful relationships. He keeps the two girls he starts off with at arms length using the excuse of they're like family throughout the entire thing and only kinda develops a relationship with his litch friend but even that doesn't have any real developments. He never has a real friend or real relationship throughout the entire thing.

Minus the people he made a pact with not only does he he keep everyone from getting close to him plenty of good characters show up, get focused on for a arc, and spend a decent amount of time with the MC then always just get left behind where only a few lucky characters get the chance of even being a side character again. It was fine at first because it showed how the character didn't feel like he belonged in this world but even on chapter 295 he still hasn't made a meaningful relationship it's to the point where it's plain s*upid and it highlights a big fault in the story that nothing really develops much the only real character development is the other hero's I'd say.

They try to act like his personality develops which it does a bit but its just a bit. Overall the MC is weak willed and develops at a almost not moving pace to the point that its frustrating
Spoiler

Like how he got cornered by the merchant at the academy town because he didn't know about the business world.... he was literally selling rare goods or even unattainable goods at a price that no one can even get close to while still having profit margins. Anybody would realize that you don't have to know really anything about business to have a successful shop if you can do that but the frustratingly weak willed MC cowered in front of the merchant because he cant handle someone raising there voice at him and ended up giving in to him

[collapse]

Throughout the entire story he holds onto his "Japanese Morals." While the other hero's are depicted as the stereotypical hero's in other novels they end up being taken to the extreme. While they lose their Japanese morals they develop into to extreme versions of hero's from light novels the guy becomes power obsessed and has his own s*ave harem and makes everyone his salves while the girl the girl is a hypocritical justice maniac. The male hero is plainly made out to be a bad guy but they paint the girl out to be a fair and just person and they use her to try and make the readers question whether the MC is actually a bad guy
Spoiler

She lectures on about how the MC is actually prejudiced against humans and they paint out the MC to the readers to make him look like the way he goes about things do not consider the repercussions. While also making it look like he's a bad person for being neutral because she makes it seem like he hates humans for no reason. The MC himself starts to believe her which further pushes the MC being weak willed. Its annoying how she is painted out by the author like she has already thought everything out and she is on the right side compared to the MC when she lectures the MC even though she just lectured the MC about hating humans and liking demons when she went around and killed demons like she was told when she first got to the world and then got mad when one of her friends died as a repercussion causing her to label the demon race as evil along with her never actually speaking with the demons but the despite all that the author still makes the MC out to be a bad guy that is unfair compared to her even thought the MC has spoke with both sides and was betrayed by humans and still remained neutral.

[collapse]

As I said before the MC has been developing at a really slow pace they have been hinting for like the last 150 chapters that the MC's personality is starting to break but only just recently at around 260 have they actually only started showing anything changing from that but even that is barley anything more than a hint that it will happen eventually.

The only that really truly progresses with the MC is his strength while I like seeing him grow even that feels like it is inconsistent. He has no combat technique except for using a bow and overwhelming them with his magic that seems to vary in usefulness and strength each battle.
Spoiler

Towards the middle of the story the character shows strength and powers that can only be thought of as godly like shooting a arrow in some random direction but having it hit wherever he imagines it hits, permanently doubling his total mana with him just concentrating, breaking his conscious apart and spreading it, making what you imagine into reality, having a nearly unlimited amount of mana, and the literally ability of gods which is creation.

[collapse]
At the current point in the story his amount of power is made out to be nearly unbeatable even to gods but despite that everyone seems to give him a run for his money.

Just recently at around chapter 295 the MC started having thoughts of maybe having a romantic relationship with Tio and Mio but there's no reason you should have to read 295 chapters just to have hints of relationship development

Throughout the reading I probably skipped 20-30 chapters because the pace was so slow but you don't end up missing anything because of the slow pace

But despite me seemingly bashing it I still liked Like I said the two girls Tio and Mio are unique and its still fun reading about the character getting stronger I also think the stuff was the development of his world is interesting I feel like the author is also good at setting up cool stuff it just that he sets them up and takes forever to make anything worthwhile come from them.

Overall I think its a good read as long as your not bothered too much by the inconsistent strength, the MC being weak willed for a good portion of the story, and the impossibly slow relationship development <<less

This author is in a league of his own novel, he suddently regretted making an op MC and threw every bit of consistency of the mc's power in relation to the world he is.

He also managed to make one of worst charcters I have ever seen, reading this novel full of nonsense is a complete waste of time, specially since the author doesn't seen to know what to do anymore so just go read a better novel and don't waste time in this one.

This start so out with a really good read. The chapters are very concies I get the information I need to move the plot along. The main issues I have come up after vol. 3.

The first and biggest problem is the characters that spend half a chapter thinking about what is being said and then not actually talking.

The second is Asora I feel this is just a way for the author to get a break and write something that doesn't really tie into the story. The reason I say this... more>> is cause you rarely ever hear about the races town building etc outside of one or two chapters. Asora should have a bigger role in the story since its a whole new world.

Third is just a preference but man is the MC such a beta 90% of the time. He's a teenager so you would think he has hormones so you would think he would get angry or h**ny but nope he never gets h**ny (even though he has two super fine ladies around him) and he only gets angry if you insult his family that's it.

Fourth is the "real" heroes their just there for conflict in what the MC wants but what bugs me is the female hero. Why don't the MC and hero just talk it out and move on. The male hero just isolate him now cause you know he's causing problems for the future, once again what would I do.

Fifth if you make it to the second major battle it's baffling how it took what seemed like 10+ chapters when the MC can fight a God. This is like the demon battle on death March. This op character is having trouble fighting someone that isn't op. It's like a parent having trouble spanking their 5 year old cause the kid is giving left hooks. I understand you don't want to kill but come on man.

Pretty much I love the first few vols but as it goes on I start to wonder why doesn't he do this or that since he's as strong as a God. If he wanted to he could end the war and transport ppl to a new world that want to but nope he's just going with the flow smh. With all the unnessary text I ended up skipping over 300 pages each vol after vol three.

So I wouldn't recommend this to read after the 3rd vol

Ps I would wax mio's and tomeo's ass all day as a teenager <<less

I went "Hey, I used to read this; I wonder why I dropped it?"

Well. Now I remember.

I dropped it because the author's control over the tone of the novel is akin to a novice playing Street Fighter while blindfolded, and the main character is a floppy pool noodle with a confused face drawn on the end. On top of that the author is afraid to go into any romance whatsoever, yet constantly teases it.

It starts off good... well, not good, but not terrible, which is the standard for the isekai... more>> genre. The MC shows dedication and resolve and self discipline. Aaand 100 chapters later the MC has devolved into a sort of befuddled half-deflated balloon that gets blown along randomly with the plot. What is his goal? I don't know! He doesn't either. It has something to do with the goddess, but he doesn't really seem to have a plan at all. He no longer has any self discipline either, which is ridiculous given the entire premise of his absurd magical power is that he is so mentally self disciplined the world thinks he is dead and born again and doubles his power.

Meanwhile the tone mainly starts off happy-go-lucky and never leaves there for long, at least up until the point I got to. But that doesn't mean it is consistent. No, it means that every time it drastically shifts out of nowhere it goes back instantly and equally drastically. Characters that literally went out of their way to protect innocent strangers a few chapters ago suddenly mu*der repenting sinners in cold blood. It's f***ing bizarrely out of place, given 90% of the novel is like a light comedy.

Don't get me wrong, I like dark novels. But I like dark novels that can keep their tone and characters consistent. This doesn't do that at all. It's a bright and happy novel which suffers from short blackouts out of nowhere.

And I personally like the harem genre, but also like non-harem novels. This is the worst kind of harem novel. The "I don't want to commit to a harem but I'll surround my MC with a bunch of girls who he'll admit an interest in but never do anything with or to" harem novels. It's pathetic and lame and just makes an MC who already looked like a wimpy loser into a bigger wimpier loser.

Yeah. I can't really recommend anything I dropped twice. I'm mainly leaving this here as a reminder to my future self to drop it before it even starts. <<less

It's not worth your time.

At first I really enjoyed this kind of novel. But, its kinda disappoint me after 290 chapter with no character development at all. He's still a naive and your usual vegetable main character. You cant find any single thing that will make you love MC at all. He's just like a MOB but OP. That's all

I strongly recommend you to not read this novel, if you read this with the intention to waste your time then that's okay. But, if you looking for a novel that... more>> will make you excited, then you're in the wrong direction. <<less

Here's some points that I can tell about the novel. I'm scatterbrained so I'll leave this points unsorted for now.

This is one of the novel where the plot is not really the main focus.

Yeah, there's surely a grand plot, but the author mainly focus on how the MC is living his life and reacting to everything that revolves around him, kicking ass in some occasion, and getting his ass kicked in some cases.

I'm glad I found this novel as this is the kind of story I currently prefer, because... more>> "constantly kicking ass" gets boring really fast.

As a side note, arguably, the MC feels that the grand plot is not something he's obliged to do. I interpreted it from this kind of thought by the MC (I forgot the exact phrasing) :
Spoiler

MC: [I would kick that Goddess's ass some day]
AFAIK it was when the Goddess "abducted" the MC when he's traveling from Tsige to another city. The Goddess demanded him to help the humans in Kingdom's Capital. She also gave compensations to the MC.

[collapse]

Many people may call it a sense-less or goal-less story.

I personally think the author want to tell the readers something like this, "This is the life story of a very adaptive guy with a nice personality who happens to have a great amount of potential. He got an innovative mind too."

The key here is "life story". What's the goal in a life story? Sometimes it's clearly defined for some people, but sometimes there's no definite answer for this question.

So, I basically agree that this story might be goal-less as it does not clearly define what would happen after the MC successfully has done the "grand plot". As for the sense-less part, it's a fantasy setting so being sense-less is an inherent part of it, I guess.

The story is quite well paced, as in not rushed but not as slow as snail-pace.

I very much liked the idea of reading this novel in a carefree manner. As I said, it's a life story and in most parts it does not feel like an action novel.

Most people might say the MC is a wimpy chicken when around women who basically throw themselves at him.

Well, what would you say about an average socially awkward teenager with a non-promiscuous personality who suddenly got thrown into another world where he's suddenly presumably the strongest human in that world? I'd feel overwhelmed if am the MC.

Logically, there would obviously 2 extremes, one who would make a harem and one who would not even actively pursue romantic relationships for whatever reason they might have based on their encounters in the story. Which is fine by me.

In this novel, both kind of extremes are represented and it is both explicitly and implicitly explained why the characters choose one of extremities.

In conclusion:

This is not your typical action novel where the MC would always kickass. He'd not actively gather beauties and bend them to his will. He's very carefree and naive (as expected of a socially awkward teenager), so much that most of the works are done by the subordinates. He'd do less physical action, but once he do he'd often do it in an over the top manner. <<less

So many people are complaining about how bad this series is, or how lame the MC is. It's hogwash.

The MC is an average high schooler who was thrust into a situation with no preparedness in a world he is still coming to understand. He had to create his own starting point while experiencing mistakes and setbacks as he progresses forward. He's not a god given human form, he's not a super hero, and nor is he a villain in disguise. He is a high schooler.

Another thing to note : there... more>> is a harem tag, yes. But, there is no romance tag. Stop calling the MC a dickless person or beta for your own desires for something that is specifically stated. Yes he is a bit subservient, but what do you expect from a high schooler? He's not a fully responsible adult yet. Nor is he following everyone blindly. He is behaving like he should be as someone of his age. Even later when he begins to change, for better or worse, it is within reason of his circumstances.

There is a plot. All series have a plot. That's what makes them books/novels. Don't be ignorant and say there is no plot, that's just s*upid. This story is about Misumi Makoto, later known as Raidou, and his life as he learns, makes mistakes, meets new people who are friends and even enemies, gets revenge even if it is petty, and learn about himself and what he wants to be. The plot is not amazing, it's the journey and the path he takes that is.

Some people said there is no character development. Way to jump on the bandwagon without even reading or understanding literature. There is so much character development that I don't know how you could miss it. Not just the MC, but all of the characters have been developing in some way or another.
Spoiler

We have the MC struggling with new knowledge and power that he does not fully understand. He has gone from a normal high schooler to a merchant, to a teacher and he is still figuring out how to do it all. He had no former knowledge of these things. But he is learning. Then there is Tomoe, she is a whimsical character in some regards but she obtained a new foundation. She has been more subtle in her changes due to our lack of knowledge of her old personality, but even fools should realize she is not who she used to be. Next is Shiki, the research crazed lich. He has had significant character development. He still enjoys research but he has gone from being uncaring in all other regards to probably the most human of the characters. Then Mio, the ever hungry black calamity spider, also the borderline yandere of the group. She has gone from being ever hungry to loving as a hunger to now understanding love as something other than hunger. That's huge development in a character. I won't even get started on some of the other major characters.

[collapse]
If you read this spoiler you should easily understand how s*upid some of these low-reviews are. No character development? It's the exact opposite. There is a ton of character development.

This has 14 Light Novel volumes, or 295 web novel chapters (we are reading the web novel.) while many other successful series have around 12-28 volumes. If this series was not good, enjoyable, or well written then you would not see these numbers.

Don't believe what others say blindly, take it with a grain of salt. As you can see I rated this 4/5 stars. That means some things could have been done better. But it's still really well written and enjoyable for me. This is the important part : I think it is an enjoyable and fun read, thus I think most other readers will enjoy it too.

Spoiler

P.S. The s*ave harem + s*ave tag is not for the MC and his followers but someone else. He is in a ruler-servant contract with his major companions when it originally was suppose to be something along the lines of equals.

I will point out the main problem with this series and why you shouldn't read it: Bland plot/the MC.

The author keeps hinting about character development for the MC, but it never happens, and when it does, it's in so small steps you can't tell the difference. As if it was all a big lie! The MC remains weak willed, indecisive and flat. Even if the MC was created to be a wish-fullfillment fill in for readers, it just doesn't work out. The MC is just too s*upid and weak willed... more>> for his age to be attractive as a character.

The MC is also a twisted hypocrite. One example is that he claims neutrality, but continuously intervenes at his own behest. It's fine to intervene like that, but you have to ACKNOWLEDGE it and OWN it, for it to be acceptable, otherwise you just come across in a bad light.

Spoiler

The MC is hinted to be secretly a psycho, however, it's not surprising considering the MC has shown sociopathic behaviour since the beginning, but the author always makes sure to smooth things over without us noticing, figuratively whispering to us readers that everything the MC does is acceptable and normal. Gross.

[collapse]

The MC also have no goals other than to punch a goddess, but the series focuses rather on him being a merchant, which has nothing to do with his actual goal! If he wanted to become strong enough to defeat the goddess and protect his new family he should've focused on training for it. Not pretend to be a rookie merchant who gets scared and depressed for being scolded by an actual veteran merchant (the MC is still so insecure he cannot understand that it's okay to be new at something and be bad at it, he thinks he needs to have mastered it to become a rich merchant, despite his richess are HIS OWN recources at his disposal). The MC is so empty and the author is so boring they need the MC to handle many different things at once (because the plots are so bland) so he cannot focus and then fails miserably at some points in the story because of it. Imagine if the MC focused solely on becoming strong, seems logical right? Why spend time becoming a demigod, when you can make a little country and company when you have no experience leading people, or you know, just let other capable friends like Tomoe deal with it? Nope, the MC is secretly mentally challenged, but the author likes to think the MC is normal.

I'm finished with this series. You'll all definitely understand what I mean when you read a different, good series and compare it with this one, together. <<less

After catching up to the WN, I have to write a review to clear up many of the confusions some of these poor reviews show. First of all, please realize that just because someone can read a story, that doesn't mean they are capable of interpreting it. ALSO, THIS IS ONE OF THE FIRST ISEKAI MADE (even before The Time I Reincarnated As a Slime was made) so ignore anyone who calls this a copy of other isekai. It's literally the founder of those ideas. Anime also cuts out a... more>> lot of important monologue, details, and events.

The start is very generic in this novel, but it becomes intricately tied to philosophical ideas, psychological conflicts, amazing world expansion, character development, and more. You actually get to see many side characters adopt major roles as they reappear over and over as they grow and develop but don't just disappear like fodder to move forward the story. The story takes the time out to expand and develop each one, to make you care about them.

The tags posted for this novel are extremely inaccurate. MAKOTO IS NOT A TIMID, DENSE, OR NAIVE PROTAGONIST. In fact, there should be tags for how clever, manipulative, and cruel he can be to anyone who he isn't close to. How he develops gradually over time to the point he's able to overtake some amazing enemies and minds in psychological warfare is one of the things I love the most about him. He's also an unstable and unpredictable character, who only continues to become more and more dangerous to everyone around him as he grows his power, but what I find interesting is how none of this is ignored and he's not unaware of any of this like most isekai overpowered MC are usually revered while Makoto is someone everyone has a conflicting view of. He acknowledges he's a dangerous existence and that ever since his childhood, he has had a very poor view of life, and won't hesitate to protect what he needs to by killing any strangers. The author explores this in very dark ways, through arcs and scenes where his psychological mindset is explored, and we see how unstable it becomes or how much it grows as each of the arcs take place. He's also an extremely clever protagonist who starts with no knowledge of this world, but continues to develop gradually, faces lots of issues cause of his earlier lack of knowledge, but he's able to overcome and hone his trade skills (not as a magician or anything else) to build a life for himself and others while he discovers a way to find a path back to his own world.

This is a revenge story, but as someone has said, all Makoto wants is to find his way back to his own world however much he despises the Goddess. Also, even though he may be the most overpowered character in the novel, attaining enough power to actually defeat the Goddess is all in all insane and he does need to train hard for that. She's a great antagonist as well, since we can understand how the loss of her existence in the world is a reason for potential calamity and unbalance in the world, and why Makoto can be considered a villain from many perspectives.

Next are the side characters, and they have very interesting moral conflicts and unique perspectives on Makoto which make it interesting whenever you see them monologuing or openly dialoguing about Makoto or deeper philosophy. They continuously develop (especially Tomoe and Mio), and maintain their unique and complex personalities while we learn more about them as characters. As for the romance, people in the reviews are saying MAKOTO IS DENSE but he's NOT. People clearly don't understand that Makoto understands romance, understands when people like him, but he can't open himself up that easily to someone he doesn't know well enough for it. He never loved the girl that confessed to him, so why is he obliged to accept her confession? Just because he's average? Makoto isn't naive and he understands the implications of saying yes, so until he's able to find someone he likes, he doesn't. As for Tomoe and Mio, he can't help but see them as family despite knowing they like him romantically, but eventually
Spoiler

he does become involved with Tomoe and Mio sexually (they have a threesome and more) and as a couple of three that love each other very much. Their scenes are extremely wholesome.

[collapse]

Overall, there's just far too much I can say about how special and amazing this one of a kind isekai is. Please check it out of yourself. <<less

Gotta say, I hoped he'd grow up during the story, but so far it seems he's doing exactly the opposite. And seeing how there are still hundreds of chapters to go, my wish for him to just die and have someone more qualified to take the MC spot for the story seems to not be happening. What an incompetent pushover individual this MC is... No hope whatsoever.

"But I am still only in my teens." - exactly, you're a teenager, not a newborn baby! So behave like one! All this MC... more>> so far sounds to me is "But I can't do anything about it since someone else said for me to do this and because I don't have brain cells of my own, all I can do is exactly what this totally unrelated individual tells me to, because I'm just a drone hurr durr".

Would've been a 1000 times better of a story, had he already kicked the bucket and someone with at least a glimpse of a backbone would take the position as the MC. Or better yet, not had this idiot to be part of the story in the first place and use one of the other summoned heroes as the MC. They at least seem to be capable of taking action on their own. <<less

This is a PSA

1. The series hasn't gotten axed and is just temporarily on hiatus as the author thinks, I think.

2. When reviewing something, please keep in mind that you are formally assessing and/or examining it and is a critical view of this series. Do not simply jot down your feelings on it and then what-about-ism it and defend yourself in the same line. It's frankly appalling.

3. The story is indeed a bit slow but steadily builds up and you can often times really feel the weight of being present... more>> in a medieval era where everything takes longer than you'd think and there are voices of dissent and approval that hurt this process even further. It's a faithful recreation of how a world of that magnitude and complexity would work if it real and this can come of as a slow drawl to many readers who are interested in 1-off hero rampages.

4. To all those who come to look at reviews, keep in mind that there are a lot of people who, for some reason, come looking at a series with a preconceived notion of what they want from it and are just extremely unpleasant to both the series and others once they do not get it. So, it's best to ignore these people, not to say that aren't flaws with the light novel and there are reviews out there that do highlight this in a proper critical fashion. But do take care to avoid those *bad* reviews that just spout their expectation and why the series doesn't meet it.

5. Reviews who are appalled by the same thing, do not write a review defending this series from them in a fashion that basically starts an argument against what some guy felt. Just as in point 4, some of these bad reviews just come from a standpoint of their expectations not being met and you can entirely ignore, or write reviews that objectively point out the same. It's painful to watch two guys arguing through reviews often just insulting the other over what basically amounts to, "I thought this was choco milk, " it isn't, "I HATE IT!", the guy who liked the milk anyway, "You are s*upid for not liking this milk." It's subjective feelings versus objective analysis which yields basically no middleground for agreement. Ignore idiots, converse with intellectuals. That is all. <<less

Alright, I read a lot in this genre. I don't claim to have amazing taste. In general, I think my taste is typically garbage, and I'll admit it. For the genre of "Reincarnated/Transported Overpowered Protagonist", the one's I have read extensively and are worth mentioning are Overloard, New Gate, Death March, My Death Flags Show No Signs of Ending, Arifureta Shokugyou de Sekai Saikyou, I Said Make My Abilities Average!, Story of a Careless Demon, Tensei Shitara Slime Datta Ken, and Douluo Dalu. I am not saying these are good.... more>> I am saying I have read a bit in this genre.

The character design, development, and consistency is good. The story is haphazard. The primary source of tension is whether or not the protagonist is taking the events seriously. The power curve/scaling is shot to hell. Honestly, it sounds like I don't like it, but that is just how much I enjoyed the other aspects of the writing. The character design and development in this story is better handled than any story that I've listed.

I like this genre, but it can get boring really fast. The genre inherently lacks the tension required for character development and tends to create dull and flat protagonists and side characters. The author handles this remarkably well.

TL;DR:

IF you want a harem story that is a constant power trip fantasy with every side character is simply a foil for how amazing the protagonist is.. This is not your story. Go read Overlord, New Gate, Arifureta, and, to a lesser extent, Slime Datta.

The story starts off with a bang, then calms down and builds up again. It definitely builds up again, and it earns its power trip moments. The protagonist definitely develops into a terrifying individual to takes matters into his own hands, but he earns it.

Also, a good/consistent translator can really make or break a story sometimes, and Reigokai is a damn amazing translator.

Lastly, this story is what broke me into finally making an account and writing a review. I thought it was that good. <<less

Do you like generic OP M/C novels? Do you like harems where the M/C does nothing? Do you like M/Cs making foolish mistakes without thinking? If so, this is the novel for you.

The novel seemed really interesting at first, I was into it, but it quickly drops down. The only character development you'll get is our M/C transforming from a wussy, bootlicker into a killing machine without care for others, since life isn't important to him anymore. The side characters are decent, so there's that.

That's how our M/C is. Some... more>> people like it, some don't. This novel might be for you, it might not. <<less

First, I will say this. Don't even bothered to read this series if you are:
-easily bored
-don't want to read heavy story with complicated details
-allergic to wall of text

I, myself, often found myself want to skip reading the whole chapter because it feels like a filler. But then the author was just "hello reader, let me give you some things that you can only understand if you read those 'filler' chapters" and I was like "*#&$&#%&@%@%%@%-!!!".
In one chapter, it was a filler-like chapter filled with everyday life's... more>> story, then the next chapter goes full philosopical even Plato is squirming in his grave.

The start was quite normal; an isekai-phenomena (like all generic JP novel), bestowed with OPness (because the God was pissed off by a bug). He was thrown into the wilderness, and with OP skills, he conquered multiple legendary beings.
Well, sounds generic, right? Nay. Suddenly, war happens. Discrimination. Racism. s*avery. All thanks to a certain shitty Bug- sorry, I mean, Shitty Goddess.

As each chapter goes, you might get offended and goes salty by MC's attitude. But don't worry as he's slowly growing to become a better person (for my standard).... although it took him hundreds of chapters **sigh**

Nonetheless, despite its flaws, I think this series deserves a 5 stars.
It gives you many topic to discuss, many emotions to be felt (I once abandon this series because I was so pissed off by one of its chapter), etc. Definitely worth to read. <<less

So much random hate, but basically if you like death march you will probably like this. If not, probably not be your cup of tea.

The characterization is great, the story is interesting but if you are looking for an action flick story you wont find it here. It is much closer to a slice of life in a fantasy world with a "human" op protagonist (eg not a psychopath, not perfect and actually relateable).

Okay idk how to write reviews but if it's just my own opinions needed then I'm just gonna leave them here since the reviews for this title are quite mixed and some might get confused as to why I even got to c392 after all this time. The first 150 chapters was true to the title "Moon-led 'journey' in another world" but then it suddenly became about business and politics, a total snoozefest, so yeah if you've just started you'd really get bored especially if you try to binge this... more>> to catch up with the latest chapter but no you can't because it gets boring af also MC became a walking nuclear but still loses to some random characters that gets killed later anyway, he's strong but naive, but that's natural since he's just a young teen that got sent to another world because he didn't want his sisters to carry the burden of being a hero in another world instead. However if you're like me who have been following this (i read everytime a chapter gets uploaded by the way and Reigokai does a great job in translating) it's not that much of a snoozefest at all since the chapters are quite short and it just literally takes me 5mins to read the whole chapter and I'm done i'll wait for the next update which is a few days time. Next, some are complaining how MC is such a beta and dickless even with girls literally thirsting for him. Well no he aint dickless at all
Spoiler

i think around c300 he begins accepts mio as a women then they f*ck, tomoe comes in and joins the fray, they have theesome every fkin night because MC has high stamina he's fkin superman in that world you know? Even lime is amazed.

[collapse]

He slowly drops the naive acts too when it got pointed out a lot by fellow merchants, he decided to even kill anyone who harms his family (his followers in Asora)
Spoiler

which he does, he's killed some you know?

[collapse]

So to end this, if you're reading this and still around c150 and find it a snoozefest alrdy then you can just drop it, it continues to be a snoozefest with filler chapters here and there, but if you're around c200+ already then just try to stick with it, I don't think it's that bad at all, it's not like you're tring to find a masterpiece anyway we're all just reading for entertainment right? Well this does the job for me just read a few chapters to kill some time at your break from work or something.

Don't hate just my opinions. °^°' <<less

That's it.

I'm abandoning this tr*sh story here.

I've tolerated enough of this Japanese Authors'Cultural Hypocrisy.

... more>> I don't think the event I'm waiting for where the MC learns of his flaws the hard way will ever come when the Author just inserted this bullsh*t about another race with God-level authority on an unregistered element. Moreover, at this point, instead of correcting the plotholes he left open, this Hypocritical Author just added another level of ridiculous Plot Armor. This story isn't fun to read anymore.

And shooting down the Goddess with his seemingly against-the-goddess-level of omnipotence-kind of power that has no basis, grounds, or even clear limits of use and utility but narratively suppressed by the MC just because he's a "Japanese with his own sets of ideals" is just bullsh*t development. Clearly, that new race is under the influence of that Japanese God in the first volume and that fifth power or element is that God's divinity or something... with the ending being MC being the chosen leader of that race or whatever.

The most irritating point is...

This conceited Japanese Author didn't even try to create real challenges to his MC and just relied on Deux Ex Machina to solve everything.

What character development? There's no real character development here nor there will ever be any. This author clearly intends to stick with writing his MC as righteous and the only person whose ideas and beliefs are correct, and that everyone else's beliefs are the flawed ones since they are only side characters. He could've done better with making the MC realize his flaws and "trying" to correct them when he encountered the merchant rep Zara but no... the Japanese Author stuck to his Japanese Authors' Cultural Hypocrisy and wrote those pointed flaws as them being wrong and the MC being right, while highlighting that his naive and conceited immaturity is his weapon and that they are wrong and the MC is right.

The author clearly intends to write everything in this story as being solved by being the almighty powerful being in the background who "knew nothing just how powerful he actually was" when he clearly flaunts his strength whenever there's a chance and, for a modern Japanese Boy not to actually imagine the reason why they had to "hide the secret to their powers", is just purely hypocritical just like any other Japanese Author who writes these kinds of stories.

f*cking bullshit. It's really hard to look for any good read with good consistency, real character development, and logical and rational plot points and MC actions with many chapters. All other stories with many chapters are all tr*sh ones just like this one. It's bullshit. <<less

After an extensive amount of time writing and rewriting this review I've come to the conclusion that I can't write it without intense rage forming from remembering this novel. 2/5 is incredibly generous considering how poorly written the story, world system, characters, and progression are, but I wanted to be fair because I did enjoy the earliest parts of the story enough to struggle through a large section of otherwise unreadable story.

well... compared with the other, this novel has its own unique things. Its about naive teenager who always struggling to survive againt life reality and stand for his own idealism. Trust me, its really good.

1) Reigokai's skill as the main translator is too superb... in his usual pattern, he will translate new chapter in 2-4 days. But recently his hiatus for 2 month is make a great deal for the reader, well it can't be blamed, he has his own life too.
2) Story review:
MC is an innocent and... more>> naive teenager, go to another world which is his parent's origin. Just because god's contract he called but then abandoned because of his appearance. Yeah, he is OP but most of it because of his own effort for learning and training by autodidact. His standard about world's strenght is too high, so he always making full effort and honest behaviour toward others. But recently he realize it, the fact that world's strenght isn't like what he expected, it's make him a little dissappointed. Naive but his character development as teenager is growing alot in each arc, WORTHY ENOUGH TO BE WAITED.
He is trying to make his own idealism, family, and country without restricted by other party. His first step is become a merchant and adventurer then learning about life's reality and wold's darkside. At the surface, while developing a business he is trying to be a teacher. But in the dark side, he is dealing with life's reality such as betrayal, killing or be killed, how to trust people, politic, etc. For the time being, his target is making a country for his follower and his own place.
3) The part that make it worthy enough to be waited for every chapter:
- Each character has their own mental development and making good progress for each arc.
- Light romance and harem (?). Though I hope for the romance, but the MC is a naive teenager as always. Many female characters around him is a fact, but no one can awaken his maiden heart. Well, not everyone has feeling for him, but he won't take it serious too, damn it. He just concerned about his family and friends after all. But, he is aware about this situation and admit his lust as a healthy teenager. This kind of development is the one which give us hope and make us always wondering about his development in romance and maturity.
4) MC business and country's development. He has his own private territory and the residents are various. Business isn't always good, sometimes bad thing just happen like real life.
5) MC followers and disciples's strenght development.
6) MC effort to maintaining relationship with other merchants, countries, and other party while struggling in neutrality side. His politic development is really good and realistic. <<less
