Don’t mind the negative reviews, they’re just giving those 1 stars based on the genre without even reading the story. I’m the TL haha...

Onto the actual story now, it is an isekai, but absolutely does not have there isekai tropes:

• The “Oh Japanese food is so great so I should introduce it to these savages who don’t know of its amazingness”.
  Spoiler

  In fact the MC doesn’t even know to cook.

  [collapse]
• OP protagonist with a billion cheats.
• The so-called ‘normal’ protagonist remembering how to build the most obscure of stuff.
  Spoiler

  At one point in the story the MC talks of how the village doesn’t even have a handpump, but he like an ordinary human can’t do anything about it, so he just uses manpower to help the villagers.

  [collapse]
• Pointless number of chapters. Duh, it’s only 5 chapters long.
• A ML who’s a creep, a yandere or an outright stalker.

And what it does have that isekai don’t usually have:

• A MC who doesn’t act like a hormonal teenager, and is rational for a change.
• A half decent suspense.
• Characters who aren’t dense or s*upid.
• Emotions.
• A world without magic, nobles or superpowers.
• A historical Japanese setting.
• The MC
  Spoiler

  Returns back to his original world for a while.

  [collapse]

For those of you who are curious, it’s is a HE.

If you’re still reading this review at this point, you might as well read the story... It’s only five chapters lol.

TL;DR: If you got an hour to waste and want a good relaxing story to read, this is the novel for you.
