Suzuki, an adult programmer, suddenly notices that he’s been thrown into a different world while wearing casual clothes at level 1. He gained high levels and treasures after using the 3 times use-disposable-magic, Meteor Shower, at once. After that, he intends to do different world “sightseeing tours”?

He meets 3 beast girls, beautiful purple and black-haired sisters, and an eccentric blonde-haired elf girl along with various people during his trip. Although there are occasional fighting with demons and demon lords, this is a heartwarming fantasy story at heart.

Great slice of life novel. If you're looking for good action, you're in the wrong place. This is a light-hearted and easy-going novel that follows the MC as he travels. He doesn't exactly have a goal. Truthfully, I don't even think he even bothers finding ways to get back to the other world. I recommend this novel for people who are looking for some relaxing story.

This series has a very overpower MC but who cares about that. This series is about epic quests to create food and share it with his comrades. Pochi and Tama alone make this series a 5 star series. Nin Nin Degozaru 5/5

Some of the more recent reviews don’t seem to give this novel justice so I would like to clarify some things. This story really just follows a character as he explores the world as a traveling small time merchant (don’t expect a lot of commerce talk though). He has the unique position of being able to do whatever he wants since he’s so powerful, but he doesn’t flaunt his power (maybe once per volume for the first few volumes). The things he does decide to do might be to help... more>> a poor child, release some s*aves, experimenting with magic to create domestic materials and conveniences, etc. He won’t be going out of his way to address the whole demon lord problem at all. It’s just a very lighthearted slice of life story. For some, the story becomes more enjoyable when his party fills out more and adorable actions abound. A good way to read this would be to read a few chapters whenever you want to take it easy, or if you’re really stressed. There’s usually no compulsion to go through a lot chapters at once, so taking it easy and reading at your own pace (much like how the MC just travels at his own pace) is the best way to enjoy this novel in my opinion.

Reasons to read:

– Adorable characters

– A main character who doesn’t show off his powers

– Lighthearted slice of life events

– Slow, steady pace that develops the world and the characters

– Relax and heal your heart

Reasons NOT to read:

– If your’re expecting a lot of action

– If you’re expecting the MC to use his OP powers (which he doesn’t start to do until way past volume 5)

– If you’re looking for the serious badass main character that is decisive and ruthless (If you’re looking for that, go read a xianxia novel)

– If you’re expecting one world shaking, life shattering event one after the other

– If you want to rush through chapters

TL;DR This novel is one of the best slow paced slice of life stories, but it is definitely not for people who want fast paced action or drama. <<less

I don't know why people expect of this novel, it's way clear that this is a slice of life novel not an action one.

Fun, random and an op MC with the loli's curse (although he will wait until they are old enough for those kinds of things).

Start is really good, but afterwards it becomes bit dull as MC is op and doesn't really have any goal. Also that "cute" speaking style is used so much it becomes annoying. Story is casual and pretty enjoyable read but doesn't have depth.

It’s more a slice of life than anything. I began to read that when I was determined to binge read some novels. So I kept reading it and I kept getting frustrated. His OPness is good but he doesn’t use it a lot, that’s why I had really mixed feelings about this novel.

The novel is still pretty sweet and if you don’t necessarly need fights but can appreciate like a travel journey diary in a RPG world, it’s good. Well, the further you go in the novel, the more the... more>> action, still not crazy but I’ll take it ^^. It's one of those novels that aren't really suitable for binge reading but I like it as a weekly casual read. <<less

A good slice of life novel, it was light hearted, the MC isn't dense but more like in denial. The character are lovable. And the MC adventure and how he handled things are hilarious. I never saw any other MC as laid back but still didn't give the readers impatience like other JP MC. He is nice, a gentleman, and not half assed one. Overall this is really enjoyable. Not recommended for people who wants some action, dislike OP MC, have some problem with Loli Harem or slow pacing story.

A lighthearted read, without much suspense in the sense of life and death crisis and unfavourable circumstances for the MC. Mainly focuses about the interaction between his party members (mostly young girls) and their tour around the world. The main plot for the world remains behind the scenes from the novel's perspective.

MC is OP (which is a win in my book) to the degree that he exceeds the logic of their world, but when the story gets warped enough that 7 Demon Kings are summoned, each his equal at a third of his level, what's a guy to do? A heartwarming, slice-of-life adventure story (with some vague but interesting backstory here and there) about enjoying the experience of being in another world. Loli/5 We need more Isekai stories like this; people try to take being summoned to another world (lol) way... more>> too seriously. <<less

OP MC + Daily Life on another World, what will you get? dozens of Loli... the loli curse seems to be weakening in the recent chapters though. But really, the MC is as OP as it gets... God Slayer on the 1st day of arrival.. LOL

MC is a Pushover, if anything gets asked more than twice he will probably do it even though he has the power to kill Gods and has connections that can destroy most Kingdoms

Every seconds sentence is either "MC isn't a pedo" or "I would welcome this s*xual assault if you were a Milf"

Man It is a nice reading you won't expect from the impression I got from the beginning volume.

In the start you will get irritated cause MC is too pu*sy to make clear moves. He didn't make any hasty decision and try to view a whole picture of situation, find the mastermind and exterminate the problem source. It is really enjoyable cause the whole adventure trip is focusing on Slice of Life style. I like how he do part-time hero job lol.

Another point I like about this novel is he hold... more>> his own rule no matter circumstance. From that actions he got more information and situations around his enemies can perfectly know what his enemies capable of, can cope the possible moves, come up with countermeasures and he simply resume his enjoyable trip.

The intermissions and side stories between the actual stories isn't pointless filler either. The author show after affect of MC action in the cities and town he visited from the point of side characters view. I gotta admit that this novels cover the whole cast characters and side characters really well. Even the background characters from earlier volumes got their role in the story until the end. Their interaction and their character conducts are not forced by any means and perfectly fit in the story line like the piece of the puzzle.

I only gave it 4 star because the novel pacing is not good. In the earlier volumes the pace is so slow and some dialogs with the same meaning are overlapping and some of the middle volumes feel a little rush and refer to the earlier parts of the novel to explain the ability the MC show suddenly. That part feel a little force but the pacing in the later volumes is good and steady and I don't know it is intentional or not the final volume is a series of battle after battle and sudden climate that feel a little wrong. But It is a nice reading. Have Fun.

It's a good read. The story as its said is Slice of Life with Fantasy and Action. So it's just fluffy time story with OP MC.

... more>>
Spoiler

Some people say that it's too convenient that MC got 1 click kill at the beginning by killing Dragon God but that's the whole story at the end its explained why he was called why he was there at that time and how he was able to kill Dragon God despite being level 1. So read whole before criticizing the OPness of MC. As this story's whole plot is for MC being OP that he saves cricis of the world.

Quick disclaimer, I might be a little biased when it comes to this novel ("Ehm Best Single Thing I've Ever Read Ehm", etc.)

If I had to describe this novel with a single sentence, it would surely be: "It's not about the destination, but about the journey". The story follows a common premise of a guy who gets summoned into a world of monsters and magic, discovers he has cheat abilities and suddenly gets involved in some intrigue as soon as he reaches the nearest town. What differentiates this story... more>> from many many others like it, however, are the masterfully written characters of the MC and the heroines he rescues along the way (it is a harem isekai after all), as well as the overall tone of the story.

The MC is not this world's saviour. A summoned Hero also exists and is on a mission to defeat the latest reincarnation of the Demon Lord, but all of that happens beside the main plot. The MC is here to travel around, try various interesting foods, (possibly looking for a way back to his own world), and generally enjoy the ride. During his travels he obviously gets entangled in various events and ends up fighting powerful monsters, but that's not what this story is mainly about. The meat of the story are his travels with a diverse cast of fantastically written heroines, as well as, later on, the stories of various people affected by his actions and good deeds.

This story is a textbook example of an OP MC premise done well. Most stories like this fall short at some point when the MC gets too powerful and the Author runs out of ideas of how to further challenge him. That is thankfully not the case here. The MC is not a teenager. He doesn't go around shooting fireballs at enemies just because he can, he actively tries to avoid attracting too much attention to himself and the girls under his care, at least until they get strong enough to look after themselves, going as far as creating an alternative hero persona to use his powers for the greater good that way. (Some people might find this a problem, he doesn't really consider the teenage girls he travels with as potential love interests, treating them more like a caring father)

The brilliance of this novel shows in the scenes of people reacting to his clearly inhuman exploits. The Author excels at using the MC's OP'edness for comedic effect as well as diverting expectations to repeatedly create tension despite the fact we know our hero will win in the end. He also does a great job of creating a unique, yet complex world filled with interesting places to visit and characters to encounter, as well as a proper cohesive system of magic spells and rules that guide them.

Overall it's a brilliant light-hearted story of a guy having fun times travelling with a group of friends and occasionally saving the world from the randomly encounter world-ending level threats. <<less

It doesn't actually deserve a 5 star review, but it's certainly better than a 4. This's been going since 2015 for all you people sayin' this's bland. This WN's been around since before anything y'all compare it to.

He does everything to make things more convenient for himself since this is meant to be his vacation. This is not for people wanting something deep. This is meant for those times when you want to sit back, turn down the tension, and just watch, kinda like the old cartoons. It's a bit... more>> on the seinen side. This ain't no shounen. If you think so, you must be reading the LN, go post there. <<less

A pretty lighthearted novel I must say, which for some reason didn't feel boring even with the MC being OP.

With how this is paced and executed, we could say that it is as expected for a webnovel which would be called unpolished.

Lot of cliche and the author seem to be woman thus make sense since the story more like shoujo instead shounen except the Main Character is Male instead female.

typical blend super kind Deuts ex Machina Japanese Main Character with barely able to remember side character.

there aren't any kind tense, Hardship for MC since he's way too OP thus every single problem is solve and most beautiful Woman fall in Love for him.

if not because he isn't Wimpy, Beta, v**ginity obsessed neither h**ny Hentai MC then i'll give this 1 star
not really recommend it but not bad enough to pass time since the translation is Awesome.

I had to stop reading this because I have seen too many Japanese novels, manga, and anime. I tried to start reading it again because it came out with an anime, so I thought if it was good enough to be turned into an anime I should give it another shot... I still can’t stand all of the loli and desu crap. The character archetypes get tiring too.

Above average, I guess?

The harem in this one is quite boring and there is no shred of comedy whatsoever.

The only reason I would recommend you to read it is that the MC is so op that it's quite refreshing.
