- MC is NOT op right off the bat. Development is like a dozen chapters or more before it starts off. If you like this, and can say YES. next one...
- There is NO harem. If you're ok with this, and can say YES. next one...
- If you're okay with some info dump regarding technologies that are applicable to early 10th to 11th century civilizations and how the MC can take advantage of his personal knowledge and can say YES. next one.
- There will be dungeon crawling later. Like lots of it. If you're still able to say YES. continue on...
- Still Dungeon crawling in the last 100 chapters... Yes? go on...
- There will be side stories dealing with other characters that May NOT even impact the MC. You may read them or not. If you're ok with stuff like that, say YES.
So if you're ok with the issues above, you'll be like me and enjoy a pleasant story that slowly develops and a character that honestly, isn't a dense idiot. He does come off as smarter than average, wiser than ALOT of reincarnation characters and overall knows his limits and works with it. The translator... more>>39 people die in an accident and are reincarnated into a low fantasy medieval world called Orth where dungeons and magic exists. MC is reborn in a low noble house and aspires to make his own country. - Translation: Readable and consistent. 200+ giant chapters so far, I'm impressed they can stick through translating all the tedium. Very rarely there's some confusing sentences but you're not missing anything with the author's writing style anyway. Many chapters in the middle were pasted with Word Wrap enabled, breaking sentence formatting. Updates are fast. - Writing: Worst aspect of the story. 80% of the story seems to consist of the MC's unnecessary, tedious, repetitive internal monologues and infodumps. It kills the story pacing and is solely responsible for the slow story progression. Eg: multiple chapters used to explain the MC learning the Appraisal skill; a skill which exists in practically every isekai story and whose characters would understand the mechanics in a paragraph or two. Or when the MC starts doing pointless math, or explaining the obvious like complex explanations of simple game mechanics, or story recaps, or rambles through the entirety of the MC's paranoid thought processes.
Every so often there's cringey dialogue/narration which seems like a robot trying to write human interaction. Eg: MC's conversations with his family as a baby. Or MC's reaction to the attempted r*pe of Bel; reading his thought process that quickly flips from worldly-wise nonchalant ('sh*t happens, it's a stranger') to blinding righteous rage ('r*pe is the worst thing in the world') is cringe-worthy. - MC: His character as a former JSDF officer and salary-man isn't believable. The author tries to write it off as his body's age affecting his mind, but it just comes across as an excuse for bad writing.
His defining MC cheat power is discovering that magic training as a child greatly increases mana capacity (ala Mushoku Tensei), so his magic power is comparatively off the charts. He has 2 unique skills, which in normal stories'd usually be the cheat, but here they're not really interesting. - Characters: They're okay. Nothing memorable that'll make you want to draw fanart about though. - World building: Generic low fantasy medieval world sparsely populated with monsters and the occasional dungeon. Animal people, elves and dwarves are randomly interspersed within human kingdoms for no apparent reason. Human feudal culture is dominant (caste system, poverty, s*avery, etc). As for tech level, MC introduces rubber as a revolutionary new technology for armor and miscellaneous goods. Magic items so far are limited to appliances (cooking, lighting, etc), or are weak/uninteresting. After leaving his village, MC heads to one of the generic dungeons to fund his future endeavours. World setting doesn't have anything that really stands out. - Power system: The status system is superficial and unimaginative. Stats don't seem to matter. Skills are few and generic. The unique skills the reincarnees get are boring. The magic system is simple; it's based off the 4 elements (fire/water/earth/wind) and 1 do-all miscellaneous element (healing etc). Later on a D&D spell system is shoe-horned in. Levelling doesn't seem very enticive from a reader's perspective; if this was a game you wouldn't play it. Recommendation:
Buried under all the useless information lies an okay isekai story. Deliberately identifying and skimming through the word count padding improved my reading experience. I rarely give 1s, but I hate filler/padding and this is full of it. I love RPGs and dungeons so I forced myself to make it up to the dungeon arc (+1 star for me personally), but fundamentally it doesn't change much. So far I haven't really felt the primary fantasy of 'becoming a king.'
