I Shall Survive Using Potions!

Description

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

Kaoru Nagase was caught up in a mysterious phenomenon and died when returning home from work. It was because of a time-space distortion that a higher life form was cleaning up, but she was able to receive a younger body and the ability to create any potion she wanted in another world!

Kaoru, who’s now a rather sharp-eyed 15 year old girl again, will work hard for a peaceful life in another world!

Eh, as a commoner she doesn’t understand the thinking of nobles? She’s now stuck in a delusional story that she’s trying to escape from?

Hey, this is different from what you told me, goddess!

so, It's not awful totally readable. There's a lot of fawning which gets annoying but what sucks is she doesn't care about the potions she makes. She doesn't care about the process. She sorta cares about giving them out and selling them but there's an aimlessness that's unfun to read.

I really like this novel. However, I started getting annoyed in the later parts of the novel.

... more>>
Spoiler

I still don't know how to feel about her friends entering to. It just feels... too op. Like... why did THEY get to join in? Haven't they lived a happy life? Not to mention, it feels sort of rushed. I'm only in chapter 43 and it feels like so much has happened. Like other comments, it really feels like the author is trying to baby the MC though I don't blame them. She's cute but I would really like to see some flaws now and then to make her look more 3d.

[collapse]

I will update my review once I read more. <<less

Very good overall, but has some slow parts, and the cheat of being able to create literally anything and the plot armour are a big too thick for my taste.

The plot is basically a rinse and repeat of trying to live a normal life to start a family, healing people and making "miracles", then leaving the country to start over in another attempt at appearing "average".

I like it, I dont expect much from these type of stories, so I was able to find it interesting.

The main character of this story reminds me of the light novel about the pharmacist in china, cant remember the storys name

This novel (I will refer to the novel as 'kaoru' since it's the name of the protagonist) is better than "make my abilities average" in my own opinion, since it isn't as inconsistent as the previous mentioned one by the same author.

Kaoru is a really interesting novel in my opinion however it can be really inconsistent at times for example the protagonist being really smart and getting away with a lot of stuff but seemingly she lacks common sense such as "oh wait medicines aren't as godly as mine in... more>> the current era" of course it's not a quote but basically that, she doesn't seem to entirely grasp the fact that it's abnormal, literally everything that she considers common sense it's not but so far she has yet to grasp such a concept.

Other than that I would say it's worth a read, it's enjoyable. <<less

The world is all kinds of nonsensical to the point its extremely difficult for me to suspend disbelief and go along with the story.

I know it supposed to be a fun layed back comedy but it falls short on that too for me...

My recommendation is just skip it unless you really have nothing more interesting to read like myself.

... sigh being addicted to gool light novel is such a pain when you read most of the ones available.

Im kind of disappointed in this. The MC is dumb. She already knows that she shouldnt expose her OP potions but there she goes going around in public and and says the she is the goddess friend. I mean she is already an adult (in soul) so she should have thought maturely. She is like a kid.

The concept is interesting, the main character also interesting.

Now the problem is how the author made the characters to be dumb.

All the other characters were so dumb, the way MC gets her way is too dumb (except for a few occasions).

Other than that, its quite relaxing and funny (other than the dumb moments).

Pros :
- Kaoru is cute
- Story "kind of" funny

Cons :
- Every other characters are dumb
- The plot are gradually getting dumb

Yeah, it started nicely with a good idea but deteriorates fast into rinse and repeat episodes of selfish, greedy nobles, kidnap attempts and MC running from country to country because she gets bored and supposedly wants a husband but yet she never shows any interest in any men. In fact ALL the men in this novel are either buffoons or villains. Nothing else seems to be available in authors mind? Plus. No one gets any real character growth or development.

PS. The Yamete translation site that took over the lat few... more>> chapters is chock full of malware that was constantly flagging on my security. I gave up even trying because the attacks were constant. <<less

I really love the manga of this and thus I decided to hint down the novel and finally found this. I immediately read the chapter 33 (since it’s the chapter 22 in the manga) and seriously, I don’t understand why many people don’t like this. I literally just ignored most senseless reviews because for me, it seemed those people don’t really understand our main character and the world she is in. They were so used in other novels about being reincarnated and having to do serious stuffs (I don’t know... more>> how to phrase my point) and you know what I mean. Anyway, I hope the next chapter comes out soon, at the meantime I’ll return to Mitsuha (Saving 80, 000 gold coins....) ! <<less
