Description
Links are NOT allowed. Format your description nicely so people can easily read them. Please use proper spacing and paragraphs.Why are we doing this…? When Haruhiro came to, he was in the darkness. Not knowing why was he here, or where “here” even was. With him were others who also remembered little more than their own names. What they found when they came out of the underground was a world that was `just like a game.” In order to survive, Haruhiro forms a party with others in the same situation as him, learns Skills, and takes his first steps forward into the world of Grimgar as a Trainee Volunteer Soldier. Not knowing what awaits him… This is a tale of adventure born from the ashes.

They aren't super strong characters with limitless potential.
They are normal people with normal abilities and feelings. And that is why this series is relate-able. I mean, how many people out there would willing risk their lives to fight dangerous creatures almost as smart as you, with the abilities of an average person? Probably none of you reading this review. Yes, the main character is a coward, but its expected. He doesn't have any power. He isn't confident, because like a real person, who would be confident enough to brave danger when you don't know where you are, who you are, what you are doing, and why you are here.
A normal person wouldn't automatically accept their circumstances and start slaying monsters, because normal people don't have that ability. This isn't a story about a person who already has OP abilities or gifted abilities fighting demon gods and becoming... well... nothing because those characters don't have much character development. They really don't. This is a story about developing not only the main character (which I call blazing sun characters because no other characters really matter), but the side characters too, because they are just as important. This devotes a lot of time to it. Like how the MC should act with the other party members or what he should do as a leader, who mind you, are in just the same state of confusion as he is. And that is why this series is great. Its not a coming of age story. It doesn't really play out like that. It plays out more as a coming to terms story, and growth as a leader. I guess you can say it is sort of like a "coming of age" story, where the young boy grows into a man. But it isn't just about the young kid, its about all of them, working together, being together to adjust to the new world. They aren't becoming "adults". They are trying to become better people in general. They didn't come into this world with a childish attitude (well, except one of them), with innocence and not understanding the way the world works. They came into a weird world, knowing fully, how dangerous that world is, and what they have to do to survive, either by changing their character or themselves. Becoming stronger or improving teamwork because they have to, in order to live. They know they aren't powerful, and that is why this is slow pace. They can't immediately defeat the mid boss in 2 chapters. They don't have cheats. They just have themselves, in their normal human bodies, with their normal personalities. All of these characters, especially the main character, feels like a real person. A normal person. Not a head strong child, who thinks he can do anything, but an adult who has to be cautious of everything and decide carefully how he proceeds, because not only is his life on the line, but because everyone's life is on the line. That is why, he is slow, cautious, moving only when they are confident they can handle it, because this is a world were everyone can die from the smallest of things, and where recklessness and arrogance will only get them killed. In other words, unlike other series where the MC is extremely confident, arrogant, and he and his party are protected by plot armor, so no real danger befalls them, and they can slaughter everything unhindered without caution, this one where even plot armor won't save them, and they can die even from a swords scratch.
Let me first begin by stating this: "This show is slow as f*ck." The blandest series I have ever read, with the most bland characters, no plot, everything is bland, Manato's death made no sense. It is about children with bland personalities, and awkward interactions.
For who is this LN for? Seriously Who is this really for? Otakus? I doubt that since this is like the antithesis for how to pander towards otakus. I am no Otaku (really believe me. I have read so many proper books that sometimes stories from LN are good time-wasters), I fell asleep 5 times once, getting through one chapter. Why do they have to be from another world if they have amnesia? I didn't see any foreshadowing in the story for it to matter! Perhaps a plot would help, isn't that right Mr. Author?
I would like to say I learned important lessons from it but only an idiot or robot would find anything new to learn from it, unless you somehow need to know how to kill a goblin. A useful in skill in their world indeed but useless in ours, or better I could have learned to not have any strategy when facing adversity and put the guy in charge of healing me front row. Yes those are very important lessons to learn if you aren't a complete imbecile.
This LN has low fan service (good), no teen empowerment (great), a typical LN nonsense (Amazing) but it doesn't replace it with anything else either (BOOO). Mediocrity, has many sides sadly this is one of them. It fails at something so basic that he even the shittiest LN have and that's, enjoyment.
This light novel suffer from so many things, that I could go further into detail but won't, because like this LN I won't get any joy tearing it apart.
but it has done well to make me feel wrong on that front So READ it FULLY for like a volume to judge.. seriously... otherwise u might get lost or feel like its gonna die.. but when u finish to the point where it turns it is pretty nice.. and you see why the pacing was or things setup were as such
