I Got Reincarnated And Mistaken As A Genius?

Description

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

Arakawa Kouki is reincarnated to a Japan with a different history than the Japan he knows with the memories of his previous life still intact. Kouki was discouraged, “Aren’t reincarnation stories supposed to be at some fantasy world filled with swords, magic and elves?!”

But one day, his random scribbles leads (his mom) to the discovery of a certain formula, which as a result, leads him to be mistaken as a genius by the entire world.

For that achievement he is sent to the school of prodigies, the State Technology Academy, where he meets the Canadian girl, Alice, and the robot engineering genius, Shingo. And even at such a place, he is still mistaken as a genius?! Every time Kouki shows his knowledge from his previous life, he is mistaken as a genius, and everywhere he goes irregularity follows.

This is the comedic life of a genius reincarnation loaded with misunderstandings.

The "Lack of common sense" tag applies to every facet of this novel...

The title says it all. Misunderstanding humor + an obnoxious amount of astronomically unlikely coincidences + the world around the MC lacking common sense in specific ways so the MC can solve issues using common sense and be misunderstood as a "genious."

Not bad, actually funny at the beginning. However, the whole misunderdsanding stuff gets old eventually. At least I got fed up with it by chapter 9.

Don't get me wrong, it's not bad. The title itself says that the MC gets mistaken for a genius. It's just that the series of events triggered by the misunderstandings are a bit too ridiculous for me

Too be honest its funny including the MC and his friends. first of all the description of the novel is true that the MC was misunderstood for at least 10 to 15 chapters but after that, he really is something

I recommend this novel and its really great to read if your bored and want to have some fun.

Hidden Gem of Comedy

I do admit it slowed down after the teleporting incident but overall this a good read.

Most chapters are like an anime with each episode being standalone with little references to previous ones. If your looking for a light heart read with zero harem. This for you.

I have to say... This is a frigg'n AWESOME!

The story is kind of random thing, not that connected one chapter of another, but it still follow main story line. The awesome thing is, the author got real talent on story-telling. The writing style keep me interested, and no boring part like explanation of things-that-only-used-once.

Also, it have a lot of heart-warming moments, so I recommend people to read this.

The story is kind of random, but it's a good read. The protagonist is reincarnated into an alternate future from his previous life, where science is more advanced. He doesn't remember much things that could be useful from his previous life, but somehow everything he does ends up being a genius invention or something. For example, his random doodles might solve some unsolvable formula, or his homemade rocket might be better than the state-of-art missiles... You'd think he's just a genius with no self-awareness with just that, but I say... more>> he is a god of coincidental genius just as Rito is the god of falling. Also, almost everything he says gives inspiration and insight to the numerous geniuses around him.
Spoiler

He manages to manipulate a drone to intercept a ballistic missile while trying to send a message to his mom... He wasn't even aware the machine wasn't a terminal, and he did that, showing that it isn't his unconscious genius but supreme coincidence.

And everything just seems to work for him in the end 10/10 will read on/and again (Spoilers for ch 13) I lold... more>> so hard at the end of ch and was at the same time a bit sad they created a robot that evolved and to protect its master it drove a astoroidon on colision cours away from earth and hundreds of years later they find a higly intelligent and kind mechanical lifeform on a planet that refers to humans as master <<less

This series has left me in tears with how funny it is.
8.5/10

Edit: Up until the point where a 3rd person/group picked it up, it was amazing. Now you've got to deal with awful english that is barely coherent and someone who is just learning the language would be able to laugh at how mediocre it is.

This novel is a legendary misunderstanding light novels, probably the most well-known ancestor of this genre (?) along with "My Death flag show no sign of end", "To be a power in the shadows", and "Strange Grief" I think. (I don't mention "Overlord" even though it uses misunderstanding trope too, because it's already have anime while these novels don't)...

Well, probably just my biased opinion...

It's a good story were MC is very lucky and misunderstood but latter on you think is he realy just lucky when you get some details. But romance plot is lacking maximum it should be subplot romance like ohh she is in danger let's save her than nothing for 30 or more chapters than ohh so it's like that I need to protect her or punish them.

Honestly the story is absurd but has enough quarks to it that it stand out from other like concept light novels. The concept of assumptions caused by breaks in logic that lead to more and more false assumptions is central to the plot and requires a good amount of suspension of disbelief. That all said you're reading a story about a reborn soul of a human dating a reborn soul of a dragon in a generically engineered super body with their dragon daughter as their pet? What's not to love?

This is my first review and I'm tr*sh when it comes to writing paragraphs or explaining so please bare with it. I rate this a 3 because the beginning of the story was good because I liked the idea of reincarnating in the future in an alternate earth that has a sci-fi setting. But after 34 or more chapters (lost count since I haven't read this in a while) this story got boring and harder to read after it switched its focus from sci-fi to an isekai type of setting... more>> which is basically something you see everywhere here in novelupdates and in other websites. <<less

I'veread the ln and really enjoyed the story, while I get that the 'luck' the MC has can be about to much at times, it's still enjoyable.

And while is called mistaken for a genius, the MC isn't dumb, he's still at least capable in some areas, since he does things by himself which is kind of glossed over since it always seems like he's getting help from someone.

Also, though the pov switching was excessive I thought it was really well done, I don't know the right was to describe it... more>> but I enjoyed reading those parts instead of wanting to skip through it <<less

I am not an expert at all and this is all my opinion, but this is not only something I always wanted to find it's use of words are perfect, the TL Notes are helpful and not in the way, and as you see I am only on chapter 4 but I can say this it was amazing and I'm sure it will get better give it a try it might keep glued to your screen for hours

Hmmm. What can I say?

This novel is pretty interesting because of the misunderstandings, not because of the plot. lol. (If there is a plot?not sure).

It's kind of a mish-mash plot thrown in one bowl just like a salad. But, at least it's decent enough that I've read up till ch 70.

... more>> Whelp, rn I dunno where the story goes so I just kinda just stockpiling chapters. Afterall, there's no deep plot. Besides, I'm kinda getting tired of misunderstandings for now so... that's it for me.

I will recommend this for those who have nothing to do or those, like me, who are getting tired of face-slapping novels. lol. <<less

It's been a while since I've read this and it was pretty good but I dropped for some reason that I can't really quite remember.

Spoiler

(think it was something along the lines of the mc's ridiculous luck and misunderstandings actually being an artificial occurrence made by some past life of his or something that really turned me off although I think it was just a theory?I don't really remember so whatever)

[collapse]

But although I stopped reading this I still recommend it since it's pretty funny stuff and got some chuckles out of me. <<less

A very entertaining and funny story to read. At times the translation is a little rough, but for the most part it’s easy to follow.

A different take on the reborn in another world and given impossible cheat powers, we instead find our protagonist falling into situations that unbelievably work out in such a way that he is looked upon as a genius much to his chagrin, as all he wants is a comfortable and carefree life.

This is worth a read as you follow the adventures of Arakawa Kouki and his... more>> misunderstandings. <<less

When I started reading I absolutely loved it. It’s definitely some of the funniest writing I’ve ever read, and the story was very interesting and well written. Over time the story and writing became less interesting to me though, and in combination with the fact that it was discontinued, I stopped reading around chapter 30. I completely recommend reading the beginning for it’s superb comedy though.

Absolutely hilarious! I love this novel. In my opinion, I wish someone would make a manga of this. If it ever gets an anime, they better not remove the POV narrations. Hearing their thoughts about the MC is what completes the full funny effect.

I am always waiting for new releases on this novel translation.

For people wanting more of the same type of novel (misunderstanding in a good way) check out To Be a Power in the Shadows! And The Latest Game Is Too Amazing. If any of you know more... more>> titles of the same approach, please let me know. <<less

This is great misunderstanding novel, no mistake for it. Our MC are reincarnated into different world that use to be same yet its different (maybe all people there are ret*rd or common sense are off). MC mistaken as genius since his idea always considered as a good things that may break civilization lol. Character development are detail somewhat inbalance.., still you could remember the main cast (like his parent or his friends). World building too, but I wouldnt complaint about it since if you know how our world sci fi... more>> works, then its easy to imagine on this novel world.

Now talk about plot, its like slice of life isekai that involves MC do things that save the day with his knowledge and how people surround him sees him.. Then of course there's no clear target. But its certainly progressing lately :

Spoiler

MC, his family and his own army member going to isekai because want to protect MC from earth. Thus, they are building civilization in otherworld (politic involved too).

[collapse]

Certainly, I'm really enjoying this novel as im clearly remember what happen altho the release date between week. <<less
