The novel starts pretty well and is funny. However it is quickly becomes filled with fillers and s*upid stuff that just degrade the quality too much. First of all, this novel is a dumb comedy before anything else. So if you come in expecting something else, you will not like it. Second of all, the biggest drawback for this novel is MC himself. He is a huge dumb-ass. He is s*upid and emotional over the top. Every time he gets new skill, he is screaming in his head and sometimes... more>> out loud or actually drops on the floor. Every time he sees something that not really that surprising, he is still getting surprised to the point where he screams. Basically the major chunk of comedy for this novel is tied to MC emotional outbursts that happen many times throughout the chapter. He is getting emotional every time he levels up, every time he gets new skill, every time he sees new monster, etc. Its not that funny in the first place, but it gets so old so quick, that just becomes annoying. There are some good points though overall.

I don't like how he gets his harem so quick. The second one was already too quick, but was somewhat ok. However, the third and fourth one was just too fast. He basically got the whole harem in one go. Another problem is that the author forgets to develop the characters that are in the harem. As soon as the girl gets in the harem, suddenly the interactions with MC decrease and she goes into background for the most part.

Also the setting with MC and hiding is retarted. He hides his true status because he does not want to get involved in politics and for people to know how powerful he is. And the first thing he does is as soon as he gets to the first town with people:

Spoiler

gets involved with the king, defeat dragon god, wipe out army of 10 thousand in front of the whole city, creates new magic that thought to be impossible before in front of the king and other people, etc

[collapse]

and after that he keeps hiding his face anyway... because a sheep in the dungeon told him so....

Well, even with all the s*upid stuff this novel has it's moments. If you skip especially dumb stuff, it's not a bad read <<less

The first thing to keep in mind when reading this LN is this "don't take it too seriously". The MC becomes OP beyond belief by the end of the first volume but despite what haters might say that didn't ruin the story.

The key thing to keep in mind is a story doesn't need the MC to be put in life and death scenarios to be good. In the case of Shinka no Mi after the MC becomes OP the focus of the story stop being on battles. The story starts... more>> out like your typical "summoned to another world with game status" with the MC struggling to survive and slowly gaining levels. But after he becomes OP the story changes to a comedy focusing on the MC and the people around him. From this point on the MC's skills, status, and abilities are all for the sake of comedy. We aren't meant to take the MC or his status seriously we're meant to be amused by how hilariously absurd he becomes and then seeing him only get even more absurd.

From this point on the draw of the story comes mostly from wanting to just watch the MC and his group casually doing things. Even when the MC fights off an invasion the point isn't to worry if anyone will get hurt. The point is to watch how the situation end of being resolved in an amusing way.

I won't give specific examples to avoid spoilers but please don't listen to the haters and at least give this series a try. Just remember not to go into this expecting a serious or dramatic story. This is a light hearted comedy and should be treated as such. <<less

Have you ever played a video game where they dump a ton of abilities on you during the tutorial, and you forget the vast majority of them and mostly just spam dive kick to defeat everything? That is the plot of this once it gets going. It is honestly better not to expect mechanical development of the system used in this work- the protagonist WILL get some random ability to solve the problem. This work focuses more on the social interactions, and most likely by the end, being an OP... more>> cheat character will just allow him to roll for diplomacy checks for 20 minutes while the enemy keeps on attacking him. So follow the quest of Saint "thick headed japanese MC" as he tries to forgive every enemy along the way. <<less

It was good at the start with the template of fat guy gets summoned with class to another world he gets abandoned and becomes overwhelmingly powerful but when they added in Yaoi elements it seriously turned my mood off : (

After chapter 18 I'm considering dropping this.

Screw off with that cursed Full Face Helmet that the protag gets *as a reward* and getting tricked. It feels like the protag is being bullied by the administrator and it freaking sucks so much it hurts.

The protag gets the chance to experience stuff he never had before, to have an inversion of power and him having to learn to deal with that and the attention, and then growing, to have his classmates rethink their behavior towards him and become better people or receiving... more>> karmic retribution; but no, that is denied because a godlike sheep wanted to bully him for who knows what reason. F off.

I'd much rather the protag discovers the "curse" that his powers / charm is first hand and then tries to hide himself, not being tricked or told to do it.

Edit: I continued with the LN instead and while it gets better INSTANTLY the chapter after with both the disguise skill and the helmet transforming, it's so freaking unnecessary in the first place... I can't stand the writing, with barely any description of anything around and instead the protagonist being s*upid. Dropped after reading to like c22-24 <<less

This could have been so much better but the MC is just plain annoying and s*upid...

The plot is great but the characters are just dull, I'm more interested in the side characters that rarely appears rather than the main ones. There's also the fact the author tries to be funny with comedy play but..... there is a limit before it becomes nothing but annoying.

For example:

... more>>
Spoiler

when the people who used to bully him was picking on his girls all he did aas retort back at the girl helping his girl in his head befors he finally does something...

Or when the kingdom he was at and grown attached to was attacked instead of killing them he has to retort to all the people fighting tnem because they're pe*verts before even considering wiping them out...

Etc etc...

[collapse]

There is a time and a place to throw in comedy but this novel just throws it in regardless of what's going on. <<less

Well it was fun at the beginning but wears off as time goes on. The MC is basically static and acts like a dumb kid plodding along with the plot. The humor leans heavily on the absurd and works at first but as it goes on it just stops making much sense. The situation stops being funny to be honest and the MC just starts becoming annoying.

i feel this is better viewed as a parody of the isekai trope

... more>>
Spoiler

for example MC keeps getting more and more powerful to the point that the status page cant even properly show it and even goes on a journey to get stronger in order to display it!

[collapse]

as for the complaints that he complains too much about being overpowered without controlling it

Spoiler

first it states he is exponentially getting stronger so every time he gets a level up it triples his already world ending stats so its annoying having to constantly get used to the new strength also he is clearly controlling it as the world has not ended

It's a meh out of 5. Comedic, certainly, but I feel the MC loses IQ over time. He doesn't have much in the way of intelligence or instinct (natural ones not skills). There are also several plotholes left and right, either unaddressed or just resolved in a nonsensical manner. But since this is supposed to be a comedic work, I can't nag at it too much. It's a good read if you want the usual beta MC and all the classic tropes that come with overpowered MC isekai LNs.

See, I actually am fine with, and I guess you could say even like, the harems in this because there isn't necessarily one specific girl that is above the others. Also its a fun read, pretty generic, but its more of a fun, leisurely pastime.

Shinka no Mi is a fun series. It's got funny characters, cute girls, an overpowered protagonist that isn't a jerk. It's been really entertaining to read.

HOWEVER, ever since the story has reached the first hundred or so chapters the translations have become unreadable. It's really disappointing since I was really enjoying it. But there's nothing that can be done I guess.

Hmm its good read but its its kind of getting more annoying after chapter 159 I have read the raws of this novel and I find it really annoying specially his tsukomi sh*t its getting really annoying it was fun till some part... but its repetitive and kind of forced comedy thing few character around him get really annoying and unreasonable I i me it doesn't even make sense they just slap thee greedy (kind of unreasonable even the MC dont want) choices on MC and this idiot of shitty tsukkomi attitude and he doesn't even deni anything just try to retort and slap that old repetitive tsukkomi attitude and says "trouble get around me can I cry" im kind of get bored of this thing and will pause this until my future self found this again by some chance and remeber that this thing existed...

Its a good read comedy light hearted give it a try.. I i wa to give it 2.5 stars but accidentally given 4 stars so my reating is 2.5start its okiesh

The story starts off good but momentarily starts getting tr*shy.

In the end it just feels like any other "isekai" story with painfully slow plot progression and sometimes just straight up cringe.

As I said it starts pretty unoriginal but becomes its own in the end I may just be biest because I've always loved ruthless and cold (Not thick headed and dense) MC. That's the feeling I got from the start. The MC seemed pretty grown up and cool but it's like the Author changed his mind after about 5chapters and... more>> decide to throw away the struggle and the cool attitude and instead just write an normal cringe harem story.

In the end of the day if you like the slice of life, slow plot progressing and harem isekai story's you'll probably love this one to. But for me it's just painfully slow and a lot of the things that happen doesn't have any meaning. Some things ar also just stretched out without any reason.

Also when The MC starts questioning why he should kill things for "comedic effect" when he obviously stated that he would have no problem killing. In the end it's just irritating.

Also btw keep in minds that this translation is pretty shit. <<less

English is not my forte, But ill try

Honestly, this is my favorite novel at first, but now I cant just seem to give this a 5star rating. Why?

My reasons:

1st just like the others said, shinka no mi starts of really interesting but then the author starts dragging the story for too long (for example the latest arc) AKA Fillers, the down side of this fillers is, it doesnt help to the plot or even the character development. It really disappointing, You wait for this novel too update for 1-3 months... more>> just too read that its just a filler or a character introduction (Seriously who does a character introduction for two times already, even tho this novel still only have a few chapters)

2nd Just like any other Jap Novels. TOO MANY HEROINE/HAREM. Seriously, I think the author wants to collect all different type of girls in every generic story to insent here. (Ex: the tsundere, loli, the glutton, and the expressionless type) and Honesty I think that this is the reason why the story drags for too long. Like the current chapter. The MC Date every girls in his harem and its 1 chapter for each girls. *Facepalm*

3rd The protagonist's perspective. Now. What I dont like here is the MC starts blabbering for too long for describing things that are unnecessary. For example, When the Generic Side character starts fighting. Then the other generic side character then start spouting the past story of the generic side character who is fighting. (Even tho you will forget him/her, because the author doesnt even give then a character development and only focus on making the MC OP while building his harem) and that whats makes me loss interest in the chapter or the Whole novel itself

And thats all folks. Ahhh, I really want to give this novel a proper review but it turns into a ranting while im writing this, because this is what I really felt in this novel. Really, disappointing because it has a potential at the start *sigh* <<less

The plot was pretty good. The fact that he loved and kissed a gorilla is a good message that love is something you feel, not see. I also like that the main character likes to tsukkomi, which is a skill mob characters have, though sometimes, it's excessively unnecessary. Even though he's hella op, he's still wimpy, which makes him annoying. The idea that everything runs away from him and tries to please him tho is funny. Overall, the story is good, but the main character is annoying, which I don't... more>> really appreciate. <<less

I could stand the first few volumes, but when the donkey, Rurune, came into the story, it honestly became unbearable. Altria, too, what does she do, other than being some unlucky person who stumbled across Hiiragi and misunderstood him? I know this is suppose to be a comedic novel of some sort, but half of the jokes in it are reused over and over again, making none of the jokes funny anymore.

I feel like this novel was written by a child who thought "ermahgerd, arifureta was so cool, lets make a copy", who then proceeded to create (copy) this abomination. The only reason I've continued to punish myself by reading this... thing... is that I don't like leaving novels unfinished, otherwise I probably would've dropped it after like 20 chapters. Author, you should be ashamed of yourself, and may God forgive you for feeding us what amounts to a pile of sh*t disguised as a novel. I sure as hell wont.

On a different note, kudos to the translator. Good job. <<less

Some people hate this novel, some people love it, but for me, someone who digs on isekais, this novel is a great and pure enjoyment for me.

If you like isekai, but don't like edgy, overly serious MC, then this story is for you. That said, its not the story itself is not serious, there's serious elements to it, a lot too, but to MC, he gonna be chillin' when things are not getting serious for him... I means, if he truly get serious, then it'll be bad for the world's... more>> ecosystem since his power is so op that he himself couldn't control it (and so he had to ban most of it from being used).

For example:

Spoiler

His classmate are having serious situation, having conflict and political sh*ts, so in their POV, the story turn into serious side.

But when POV went back to the MC, most of the time it'll be happy go lucky trips. Why? Because he's OP duh, why should he takes everything seriously when most of the times he don't need to be serious at all, right?

[collapse]

Some people hate how he's wimpy, indecisive, etc...

However, please imagine this:

You are very OP, even god probably can be easily killed by you. So why not you just have fun as you'd like in isekai? Why so serious when you can be laid back and still win? You even have harem, why not just enjoy living with them?

Anyway, if you're like me, who digs into isekai, then give it a go, at least until school arc. If after that you don't like it, well I guess it just not for you.

Also the anime is meh, but still enjoyable for me. Shinka no Mi always makes me smile, regardless how bad the reviews here are. <<less
