Its a good read if you like OP MC. And later on OP harem member also join him. All in all its enjoyable, but later on in the series u kind of like just noticed

Spoiler

Any of the dungeon are practically impossible to be cleared by a normal human or mc’s hero classmate. Not to mention all of the enemy they face are also too OP for any of his other classmate to handle, making u wonder why are they even summoned in the first place, and how weak are the human in general if they are weaker than the summoned people. Not to mention how the demons are so strong but somehow it was the human that ruled most of the territory while the beastman are hiding in fear, and the demons never launch any attacks before the human summoned the MC. Basically from the looks of it, if the MC does not accidentally become OP the human are practically doomed to ruins no matter how many hero they summon

Author humor sense is terrible.... (-1) (random "populars should die" is not funny... for 1 example)
Kills absolutely MC personality... then he forgets it and makes a 3. personality for him.... and I did not even finish vol3... (-1)
Makes MC OP too fast (and genius (randomly?))... with broken logic... finally you get random numbers you have no idea what to do... (-1/2)
Spoiler

MC finally gets the power to take the monster's strength after long suffering and... he does nothing with it because he makes an "ultimate weapon" from random stones and and 1shot (almost) everyone...

[collapse]

But it started good... 2.5/5
And it betrayed 1 of my expectation with an unfunny, uninteresting (and I think illogical) story development.
Spoiler

I was expecting: out the dungeon: "Hi receptionist, I did not die. But f*ck you I have better things to do."~MC
What I got: "Here is a secret exit of my FINAL work (/LAST shelter/etc.) because... mehh I like secret exits So I built one. Teleport to the exit is too mainstream."~dungeon builder

[collapse]

so 2/5...

Simple action fantasy story with some harem and OP badass MC. I really liked it! To say truth many Japanese action fantasy novels suck at action part (unlike xianxias) but this one does not. If you are tired of wimpy, annoyingly dense or s*upidly righteous protagonist than this is for you!!

Honestly the first five chapter where like hell to read, I quit reading it like 4 times until I finally passed them. The harem is actually one that doesn't make me feel guilty about the other girls that love him because he chose one and sticks to her, the others just want to be around him.

The story was really amazing, loved everything about it. The author really stretched some parts out which made it kinda boring sometimes, but if you can get passed that its amazing.

Not much to say you... more>> should just read it, skip the first 5 chapters if anything and just know that he was week and treated like sh*t and you be fine. :) <<less

Really enjoyable, but can’t say its really good. It starts out really good but it gets bit unfocused in later chapters. I really like reading it as I like mc’s character but its also not greatest story. I would give this “enjoy” rating of 5 and “story” rating 3 because of later chapters.

This really needs to either be a straight harem or all the girls around him converted to normal friends. Its annoying that basically everyone around MC is in love with him and even his gf is ok with... more>> it and MC just casually rejects them. And even though he rejects them they still act all love dovey and cuddle etc. It's just s*upid -.-

PS. Also bunny was way too annoying at one point. <<less

Arifureta has a very good beginning but goes completely to sh*t after volume 1. And I mean that in just the first chapter of the second volume it turns to shit. The author didn't know where to go with the story and it showed. Just pretend that it has only one volume and you're safe.
First volume 4/5 rest 1/5.

Beginning is wonderful but in the middle the story starts feeling dragged out, because MC is too powerful and harem theme comes up too strongly.

It is a punishment for people who wanted an actually good dark isekai, but wished for too many things at once.

The MC is tr*sh. His companions are, apart from the loli vampire, cardboard. It becomes uncomfortable to read half way through.

I actually enjoy it despite MC Harem ever growing, but there's a limit to how the harem grows and how the women in this world would just want MC. I can reasonably accept the first few of the women because they have sometime you get to know them and while the dragon is h**ny I really like her personality aside from it. But what I don't like afterwards is how it is clear that the other women are going to be added to the harem with no reason for me... more>> to like them or want to add to the ever expanding harem. Two of them I am not keen of is the teacher and a friend of MC's love interest. Not only are they not interesting at all. But also firstly the teacher is an adult from the modern world, and yet because of her small body, she whose an adult became an object of love interest probably due to her no intimate love interaction. And you know what got her to develop feelings? Being kissed by MC. I won't go into details but that rubs me the wrong way. And the female friend shouldn't be in the harem in my opinion due to the fact that this MC is a love interest of her friend. And yet we know that because harem she would be included because we can't say no to join cause it will hurt her feelings. Like yeah right thats like every girl in IRL who would get heartbroken. All in all I didn't like the female cast and also because MC is badass the non harem girls all want him I guess. Its just mere pandering even tho the world is interesting <<less

This novel is a pretty good power fantasy.

The MC is someone who used to be a beta male but turned into an alpha after going through a hellish situation. He is an overpowered alpha male who is suited the power fantasy genre very well.

The side characters are pretty good, they don't have much character development, but their personality already made them quite decent characters. The harem aren't really good, a lot of the harem members just fell in love with the MC for no reason.

Due to the novel not having... more>> much character development, it will get very hard to read past the third labyrinth.

Unfortunately, after the hero got back into the plot, the novels started a mad sprint downhill. That's because the hero became a garbage character, he will make you so angry that you'll want to smash your screen.

The final fight scene are also quite boring, because of the overly extended fights that are not just enjoyable anymore.

This novel is pretty fun to read at the start, but it started going down hill after the MC met up with his former classmates. It's still a pretty good read, but I suggest you to not read further than that if you don't want to get very angry. <<less

This is a pretty successful Japanese LN and was adapted to manga and even anime. It has a bunch of imitators too.
It's an isekai harem with a rather dark tone but a happy ending. The quality is pretty solid for an LN. If you are interested in a story about a guy with a "garbage" job/skill becoming OP and upstaging all of the heroes, give this one a shot.

The author has great ideas, but he has not yet managed to combine them into one coherent MC. One chapter the MC is an ally of justice, the next he goes KILL KILL KILL. Disappointing 2*. Maybe because I don't belong to the "have fun with guns & gundams in a fantasy world" fraction.

Some random thoughts:

Spoiler

- The MC should ask the vampire girl for some flesh to improve
- The MC should chase down different "beasts" to get different abilities. This just gets swept under the rug.
- The MC's transformation period should have been way longer. Let him lay with broken bones in a crevice for a year, just being held alive by the God's Stone
- Why does the "super-rare" miraculous God's Stone suddenly got demoted to side-kick and simply turned into jewelry.
- The possessive vampire girl should have killed the rabbit girl the moment she appeared.

I enjoyed the original story, it had a nice tempo and the main character and his party's power builds up at a nice pace reasonably, and in all honesty, I enjoy arifureta after even more, the current story arc in particular is really cool and exciting and I'm just waiting until we see the outcome, plus the tortus travel journal chapters are also very fun and show off the wonderful character development that's occurred throughout the series, at least that's my take, I'll admit arifureta after takes a bit to... more>> really get good though with the chronology always being all over the place at first <<less

I like the story and its comedy and the after-story and other stuff.

Don't skip it just because other people tell you to skip it just because that's their opinion, not yours, so try to read it first then decide.

Also why do people even tell other people whether to read it or not not knowing whether the person would actually like or not like this?

I actually like the story itself. Reviews have been complaining that it's wish fulfillment.. But so what? I don't see anything wrong with that. Yes, it's filled with tropes. Most light novels are. Again, so what?

The reason I'm only giving it 1 star is due to how absolutely terrible the translation is. The most recent translator has been translating this story for years, and it's still a mess of broken Engrish. Just stick to the official light novels.

It is written by a schoolboy or for schoolboys. Very dumb plot with cliche and simple characters.

Oh my god, the boy is so strong, so all girls just fall for him on the first sight and start pursuing him no matter what. A unique harem story, pay attention!

Repetitive jokes in the shape "oh, a kid is calling the protagonist papa and everybody misunderstand" even though he is 17yo and the kids is 3yo, and this misunderstanding happens 20 chapters in a row, every chapter he has to repetitively clear this... more>> misunderstanding with every person he meets. Does author not know what to write? Can somebody consider such text interesting? <<less

Ok the novel starts out volume 1 is done really well but after that it degrades into your classic Isekai harem garbage this story is pure wish fulfillment so all the serious scenes kinda lose their meaning since no ones going to die or get any permanent damage after the first volume. The main character is so overpowered that the majority of foes can’t even give him a run for his money and the only times someone can is when he’s been beefed by the author himself while his foes... more>> are overhyped to make it seem like they gave him a run for his money. There are only 2-3 fights in this entire series where he got serious and wasn’t just flat out nerfed to make his party or allies give him a challenge. Now let’s talk about power ups they are absolutely ridiculous and make effort practically useless for example the annoying bunny girl he runs into in volume 2 starts out with stats higher than the hero and due to her status as a main character she regularity experiences unrealistic power ups that are just as absurd as Goku’s she didn’t even have to work hard for power. If you ever read Isekai harem tr*sh well you know how the plot will go.

characters

The majority of characters in this series are naive and s*upid there’s literally other no way to put it for example his teacher is a naive idealistic idiot who kept denying reality that her student was a villain despite all the evidence toward it he’ll one character was s*upid enough to think of marching up right to the enemy capital and trying to take on the enemy herself despite her not having the ability to do so let me repeat that she tried to sneak into a enemy capital in a war alone without a plan or any backup get an idea of how s*upid these characters can be now? Now there are a few enjoyable characters here and there with a couple of good scenes and personalities but the majority of the side characters and a couple of the more important characters are mentally challenged there’s no other way to describe them.

roamnce

As you have probably noticed this has the harem and polygamy tag now a couple of the main characters harem members are actually done pretty well especially with the main heroine in volume 1 but after that it’s literally just one ways heroine after the next for example one kiss would make a girl like the protagonist enough to marry him. If you think that’s bad 2 of his classmates also get harems and that’s done even worse which I didn’t even think was possible.

Plot 4/10

Characters 5/10

romance 1/10 and that’s being kind since only once heroines route was properly done in the entire f*cking story <<less

This is a good story

I really like the leveling system very different no exp

his abilities are not because he is special or the "god" gave them to him, he just got very lucky and found himself doing multiple things that would not normally be done in succession

... more>> I don't like the way he treats some of the women at the beginning, later he stops being such a jerk but it is much later like in the after stories so if you cannot handle it then it might be worth dropping

Also the MC has a favorite waifu so if you cannot get behind that then you may not enjoy

If you really want an MC who stays edgy and angry at the world and actually leaves it to rot then this probably will not scratch that itch
Spoiler

His teacher who was transferred with them points out that he cannot just mu*der people who are his enemy and expect to be able to return to Japan without having problems which is a good point and makes him rethink some things, plus he does not come out of the abyss all that edgy he points out like a million times that Yue brought him back from that edge of just hating the world
