I’ve Became Able to Do Anything with My Growth Cheat, but I Can’t Seem to Get out of Being Jobless

Description

Links are NOT allowed. Format your description nicely so people can easily read them. Please use proper spacing and paragraphs.

I, Ichinosuke, failed to get a job for 100 consecutive times. Furthermore, my record is still being updated as unemployed.

On my way to a job interview, I was involved in an accident with a truck and tragically passed away.

And then, a Goddess bestowed upon me the ability to grow at a speed 400 times faster than normal, before sending me to a game-like otherworld.

However, knowing that I would not become stronger even if I continued growing while jobless, I aimed to get a job, but I found out that it was my terrible fate to remain jobless.

As my Growth Cheat and Jobless Cheat existed side-by-side in this otherworld, an adventure record, no doubt certified by the job-placement agency as a harmful book, begins here.

What to expect of the MC Improvement.

Well first of all the MC is op but not op at the same time. what do I mean with this? It's simple the MC get's a op skill's but while reading the chapter's you don't feel like the MC is making any progress. you will just see a bunch of number's that the author gives to the MC but you don't know how much damage or strength the MC have, and that it's really because the author is terrible to describe how the... more>> MC fights at least in my opinion, for example the MC use a skill and that's it the author will say that the monster was able to dodge or not and after that we will use another skill to kill the monster and that's the combat..... you kinda don't feel if the MC is improving. <<less

Good story and plot.

Its quite boring at start, but getting better after ch100+, especially after her sister come to otherworld.

Forgotten and missing goddess, church vs demon king vs heroes vs genius magician. The plot thicken as the story progress and so original that you could never guess what would happen next.

This is yet another

'This character sheet's evolution in an incidentally broken game which the MC will cheat in, that happens to be a world the author loosely designed based on games' type story.

Despite that, It's pretty good. It starts off pretty much a 'slice of life' story design- and isn't bad or particularly noteworthy in it's construction... except for the paragraphs- every sentence or 2 is it's own paragraph for some reason- but 'whatever'. In V2 the surprising, welcome and more layered story evolution starts, and it's got... more>> several simultaneous developments. By V3 it's actually pretty good, though the chapter length shortens somewhat.

The good:
Doesn't start with truck-san
Has a fairly enjoyable story, with some good humor thrown in now and then.

Explores the divergent path of non-combat XP techniques

The bad:
Spoiler

horse-san, why so cruel?

[collapse]
The concept of 'jobless' is perpetuated through semantics juggling.
The world economics are pretty much nonsense.
The writing is riddled with expositional afterthoughts. It's clearly written 'off the top of the head' of the author, and 'corrected/expanded' as he progresses (even though plotting does develop as it progresses.
Almost every random occurrence turns into some sort of 'win by accident' or 'win by OP' event. Any surviving setback turns into a benefit eventually.
Spoiler

Going to sell my starting clothes... oh they're super valuable? Really?

[collapse]
Casual 'Predatory/motherly X-dressing gay stereotype' for humor.
Casual view of some 'cleaned up' form of s*avery (lots of justifications).
The MC starts out as an idiot. Thankfully that doesn't last too long. The story, characters, and setting are all pretty much simple and cliche- BUT it does get better.
'Gamey' game rules are actually enforced world rules. (ie- Cannot equip 'wrong-class' items. jobs tied to limits & rules for acquisition/progress). Surprisingly, this is used to good effect by the author for occasional humor (and of course to frame problem solving/advancement tactics).

The different:
The 'author's notes' both betray the 'slapped together' story construction, and give interesting insight to the author's writing process and the story's popularity at the time.

Overall? Worth reading- just know the first 8 chaps or so are pretty weak. <<less

Well... actually it's good but... it's to mainstream. And I also read so many novel that look like this before. And it's not bad but there's other that as good as this or more good than this. That's why I only give it 3. What make it interesting is yandere imouto element on it. And there's big plot twist regarding that. So that's why I'm looking forward at the continuation of the story

I really cant express how dissapointed I am without spoiling majority of important events. But even in the spoil tags I will try to keep it as little spoils as possible.
Story starts great. MC has a goal... kinda. And grinds for it. He has op ability but like any Japanese MC is a wuss. Constantly complains about his job which at first is a joke, but after repeating the same joke non stop its just bad.
But here is few very big disspointments from few of the major arcs... more>> to the ending which is just plain alfull.

Spoiler

Your sister gets kidnapped and u can calmly search for her. Taking your time and helping others on the way? Like hell no. I dont even get the point of her being kidnapped couse it was not even used beside that he is not the only one who can enter his God space.
As for the ending it was cool. Goddesses are betraying the MC and other goddesses. The hero is a brat. All that is cool. But in the end the hero is weakling, the mage who killed himself is alive for some reason. And the goddesses are friends again being usless. And the MC didnt even become like a god of creation or something. And his sister litarally said that he will die in around 150 years. The ending is literally -5/5. One of the worst ending in novels. And lets not talk how the baka couple had more personality then any other caracter in this sh*t of a novel. You read and read and read hoping that in later arc things get better but it doesnt.

[collapse]

In short if u have time to waste read it. I ain't gonna stop you from dissapointment. I didnt like it and you might like it. <<less

It's a good story but a boring one and easy to guess a plot.

It would have been better if he accepted ... more>>
Spoiler

his sister as a opposite sex

[collapse]
, because she looks now too pitiful, the she loved but can't be with him for eternity.

There's so little sense with the enemies somtimes. Like how he could almost 1 shot the strongest being in the World but can't defeat easily like 20 targets.

The ending could have been way better not just oh new temporary job and oh trouble again so let's go and save it. Very anticlimactic.

Atleast Haru could have been pregnant in the end not just leave it like that l. <<less

The story starts out nicely, interesting enough protagonist, decent supporting cast, good world building. The tension peaks midway and then everything goes downhil. Then everything ends in a nonsentical rush, devoid of meaning or tension.

Thanks to the translator for sticking with it and doing an excellent job!

1st: it feels like each volume was written by different author. It's that non-coherent.

I cannot see any target audience who will enjoy it. I personally came for the game-element, but it was so weak and idiotic that even tho there was a lot, the other parts were disgusting.

2nd: it's another "Jesus" MC, or rather 's*upid-go-happy' fellow, with blank heroines (0% personality, no changes, no excuse given). The plot even insert lots of side-MCs (males, cause women are.. XXX?), as far as c.200 he have s*x with only 1 s*ave, but... more>> there's strong sex-driven talk all the time. It's not for children, not for adults, not for non-male dickhead organism = it's novel for no one.

3rd: it start good, 4stars for me, then goes quickly bad, 2stars, then stabilize on ok, 3star, but it then goes s*upid, that you start to hate the MC, so beware.

you can say it's a comedy, but the joke on you, people who read it. <<less

I like this novel enough to ignore the biggest two issues:

1) There is a side story that WON'T GO AWAY. Two idiots and a donkey, even the MC chooses to ignore them and forget about them when possible.

2) MC has a specific flaw that pops up every once in a while, where he feels embarrassed by a s*xual situation then gets bullied by women. But I think it is his fetish, so force yourself past that and you will be fine.

Aside from those two issues, it is a light hearted... more>> story about an op MC and his adventures! Very slice of life feel to it. Enjoy it. <<less

Don't let the title fool you. The MC chooses to be titled as jobless when in fact he has many jobs.

This is really the story of a person with a complex that is formed because of his bad judgment and the decisions they lead to. The further I got into the story though the less they author focuses on the MCs jobless complex though they do casually bring it up here and there with silly other names for things he does. Its a silly story that mostly seems to be... more>> meant for young teens but has a few instances with slightly more mature content. Its a basic children story about wanting to be strong and dependable when you grow up and this story is one where it take little effort to get there. It is a fantasy novel after all and you can see how the MC has this mindset even as he gets older.

Its entertaining but not a very deep or complex story. Its both easy to enjoy and hate depending on your mood at the time. I rated it a 3 because I find it to be average in just about every way. <<less

Overall, this is great fun and light reading the way you want to have it, with a good translator. The sense of humor in this story is well done for the most part, especially with the MC's antics, with the exception of a few characters who exist solely for comic relief and are too over the top for my taste.

The tropes are all there, the weaknesses of longer OP LitRPG serial stories are all there, but the execution is so good you don't care that there are few unique aspects.... more>> Also, the MC is an adult human being interested in love! Imagine that the tags didn't lie!

While there is a harem tag, so far the MC has had a monogamous relationship with his main girl, and the fluffy is strong with this story.

Some weaknesses: A few of the arcs are so long and meandering that I lose track of the original goals of any given journey until the party arrives at their destination, and sometimes the plot intervenes to derail the party's plans altogether. Since most of the party's plans involve finding dungeons and learning about the history of the Demon Lord, this is OK. I'm pretty sure they haven't left any characters to starve on a desert island yet. The author excelled at detailed and fascinating LitRPG bookkeeping early on, but then completely abandoned the task when the MC could solve most issues with one blow around 100 chapters ago. This is a huge mistake, especially since the author hasn't abandoned giving the MC new classes and abilities, some of which have become pretty important to the characters goals and solving plots in recent storylines. I'd like to be able to refresh my memory on the MC's abilities from time to time. Even at the OP level where it isn't critical, it's fun reading for me and reassures me that the author isn't just making stuff up on the fly.

Try and enjoy! <<less

The story is OK just read it when you’re running out of options.

Almost everything is pretty decent the only flaws being the writing being not great at parts but it does kinda feel like it’s just bad TLing at work and the MC who is unlikeable but tolerable.

Finally binged and caught. Been worth it.

Read this story if you liked Death March.

Don't read if you didn't like Death March.

... more>> Overall the translator does a GREAT job editing and translating. The writer can balance their world building, character building to make it entertaining.

It does have the standard tropes: MC OP, somewhat useless goddesses, bad side villains, great side villains, a demon king (maybe???). Litrpg stuff, harem that grows etc.

So if you do like that kind of stuff, go a give this a read. If not, you can pass.

Life won't end if you pass it, but it sure would be less entertaining. <<less

Until now it seems like the typical but good "reincarnation" story. MC is a man but no pe*vert or lolicon, also does not behave like a dog in heat and has character.

Mostly no real drama since characters have plot armour even though it is not on death-march levels. Also no not to much common sense r*pe at the moment but maybe it will come. "Fluffy" read and nice read

The story is about ichinosuke, who have lost both his parents and now his life, reincarnated to other-gamelike-world, receiving cheats from Godesses but remains jobless.

The characters have deep backgrounds and likeable, especially ichinojo with his OPness and righteous mind.

It's a bit early and the story has many promising features, and I'm looking forward to more plot in the future.

Recommended for those who like OP MC, deep side chara, funny moments, status window, gamelike otherworld

Similar to: Legendary Moonlight Sculptor (in terms of status window haha)

The series that began and ended on an anti-climax. The whole thing reads like one big series of unrelated sidequests that the author has to scramble to assure us are actually important. The only good thing I can really say about the series is that the translator has been incredibly solid from beginning to end, I have no complaints about them whatsoever.

I know the author stated on one of their notes that they wanted the main character's side of the story to be the comedy and the other side to... more>> be the serious plot stuff, but I don't think either lived up to this expectation. I never found the MC funny nor did I find the plot gripping enough. I honestly only read to the end because the start constantly felt like something severe or important was going to happen, which it never did, and later on, because I was just morbidly curious about how it was going to end. Like "I've already read 300 chapters... may as well keep going" was my main motivation for a while. Not even the big climax of the final arc could change that, to the point that if I spoiled the ending here, nobody would believe it and would just think that I was messing with them... I was losing brain cells by the letter...

The MC's ability is the power to get strong without having any talent or putting in any effort to actually train... and it shows, a lot. Every fight in this series is anti-climatic because the main character has nothing going for him to the point that I feel disappointed whenever the other side loses because they definitely deserved to win more than he did. Not to mention that every character in the series somehow feels even more flat and boring than the main character, still not sure how the author managed to pull that one-off.

In short, mediocre at best, don't bother reading it. <<less

There are some good points here and there, as some funny interactions with other transfered people, and the effects of a transfered person over the new world. The back story of one of the heroines is over complicated and is not well explained. Some plot points sudden change or are simply forgotten, like with some of the characters that disapears for more that 100 chapters. That could be excused if not for the somewhat rushed ending and abandoned plots that, to me are a huge detriment to the enjoyment of... more>> the novel. Regardless of that, the fact that there is s*aves and how he deals with them comes out as a fault moral he presents and is not well justified by his own standards, and the resolutions for this is lacking to say the least. <<less

It's ok if he have a skill that detect a malice or I'll intent so that it make sense that she is kind and, he... more>> can't lie that was I hate, now I know why he can't find a job because in interview you have to lie sometime to answer there question to make them hire you. At first he resolve that have to be a bit selfish but as the story goes his resolve is ruined and always help other his so nice from a world full of double faced human hahaha

It took like 200 chapters to get to what seems like it might be main plot but boy howdy has it been a fun ride. Hopefully the author picks the release pace back up once they finish the light novel adaptation up to the current arc but we'll just have to wait and see. Overall well executed isekai, and top notch translations.
