A decent academy novel to pass the time but there are some serious leaps in logic. I'd give it a 3-star but the pacing is rather slow and they've barely even entered the academy so I won't judge it too harshly yet. Nevertheless, this review will be filled with criticisms since the latest translated chapter at the time of writing this review is 13.

As with my opinion regarding most novels, my primary gripe is with the MC. In particular, his memory.

The MC falls asleep after creating a new character in... more>> a game he frequently plays and wakes up in the wilderness of said game. Pretty classic, right?

Well, the MC doesn't remember the specifics of the character he'd just created before going to sleep.

He also forgets basically everything regarding communication by the time he is found by humans approximately 3+ years after being reincarnated. Now the people who found him don't understand Korean, but the fact that he forgot everything about Korean aside from one word, a language he has been speaking for 20+ years, is insane. Even if so much time has passed he truly forgot. He has shown himself capable of making cave drawings so why doesn't he do it even when he feels himself forgetting how to speak. Don't give me bullsh*t about how he was struggling to survive and didn't have time. Since it is implied he adapted rather quickly to surviving in the wild. Also, I already know some guy is gonna comment on how he's basically half-insane after a while, but insane does not=s*upid

Fortunately, he understands the humans. And yet he doesn't nod or shake his head or even do any kind of the most basic sign language. He merely responds with 1 word. The only word that he remembers. Now I don't know if this is a shitty attempt at comedy or if something bigger is at hand and this is foreshadowing (I think its the latter since the former would just be too s*upid and I expect much better from this writer), but from where I'm at. It seems absurdly ret*rded of him to not even point or shrug.

Keep in mind this could all be some part of some over-arching plot line like in TAPOV. In fact, I personally think it is but that's still uncertain. <<less

I find the premise and idea behind the story quite interesting but the execution is a completely different beast.

Frankly it's frustrating to read, the story moves at a snails pace, really, you can skip half of the text and lose nothing. There's a lot of repetition, MC checks his equipment, then after 2-3 sentences of nothing, checks again, and then again. Every character has to nag him not to kill his opponent even when the fight is long way off, when I mean every character I'm talking about literally every... more>> character MC considers close, and the nagging is repeated 2 times per character. The fights are in between terrible and mediocre, at the beginning it was alright, at CH 33 it's one action 4-5 sentences describing that action or whatever and then another action.

You may think: "okay, so the fights are bad, there is some repetition, so at least maybe the characters are good?". Not really because there is barely any essence between dialogues and it's frustrating that dude learns how to speak for 30 chapters and still can't make a proper sentence.

To top it off, the translation quality is very good - at the beginning - when the translator changes there's a sharp drop in quality. As always when you see the GalaxyTL you may expect: not being able to read without ad block, not being able to understand who's talking, confusion about the topic of discussion, mixed up genders/pronouns/subject (as a part of grammar) - I think it's mtl with barely any editing. <<less

I had kind of a hard time rating this novel. The writing is pretty good, the setting and the characters are pretty interesting. However, 50 chapters in, it's kind of hard to read because everyone around the MC treats him like he's 5 years old.

Basically our MC is a survivor who's lived in a deadly forest for years and he gets rescued (duh, the title). The whole time, the MC still thinks like a sane, average Korean guy. But for some reason he still acts like a savage. Like it's... more>> understandable he has some animalistic instincts, but so far he's never tried correcting himself or changing like at all. For somebody who's so normal, he's very content at letting people treat him like he's 5 years old. <<less

Personally, I think the previous review was a bit harsh on the MC. So I'm going to write a review since there is a lack of them.

This isn't a spoiler since you get the main premise just in the prologue and small details like skills pop up very early on. The MC is crazy about a game. This game is crazy hard to play bc the controls are wonky, but the storyline is great. He makes many characters and plays through them all since the ending of the game changes... more>> based on the specs of the character and the choices that are made throughout the game. This probably contributes to the MC lack of knowledge of what character specs he's entered when he's Isekai. He knows enough that he knows his specs are crap when he wakes up. He wasn't given any special abilities or anything. I suspect, and it's hinted at, that he went into 'god mode' play. Dropping him off in the middle of the Choas Forest with nothing but a loincloth and sh*t specs.

He spends a few years in the forest. He doesn't go 'crazy' exactly like the other review states. He gains an ability called frenzy. When he's at the point where he's going to die he loses consciousness and wakes up with the area messed up. While this skill keeps him alive he's well aware of the drawbacks. I don't think this is 'crazy' necessarily. It's mentioned in the first few paragraphs that he's going to use his instincts to kick ass and that dialogue isn't needed to know who that shitty people are. He'll likely run around kicking noble or politician ass. In the first few paragraphs, it mentions that the countries are at odds with each other and that the age of heros was long over. So this adds to my suspicion that he's going to go around smacking down corrupt politicians.

Once you get a bit further into the story and he meets people and he tried to communicate with them, you see moments when he intentionally keeps quiet instead of protesting with his one-word comeback. He recognizes the people from the game. There are some moments when he's frustrated by the lack of communication and there are moments when he uses that lack deliberately. I think this is so that the story can play out better in the long run. He's not crazy or s*upid, but frustrated and calculating. Now my biggest gripe is the Bear Grylls fanboying down by the author. The translator even makes note that there is an issue with hyping up Bear Grylls so much. Still, while I dislike Bear Grylls with a passion the story itself isn't really affected by it. Just as a note about how he knows enough about survival to survive in the forest bc he watched a lot of Bear Grylls and knows about the game. Unrealistic, but hell it's isekai.

I recently came across the series. It is different from the classic 'Possessed __man of the academy', it revolves around MC trying to re-adjust to civilization while stopping World Destruction. MC himself forgets most of the World's Settings, only remembering major events. So, Yeah no Equipment Hunting or hogging cheats (Welp, MC himself is a cheat). The story has a lot of interaction with Female Leads, with wholesome interactions and caring MC.

Female Leads take care of MC while trying to figure out his peculiarities. MC show his full capabilities in... more>> Fights and he himself is not overpowered, he has just great potential.

Overall, story is heartwarming romance, with great action, comedy and whole lot of smooch interactions.. You could always look forward to MC's incredulity. <<less

Nothing much happening as of chapter 41, namely: slightly revealed plot, a few harem member candidates, MC's power current upper limit (MC is already OP at the beginning of the main plot).

Hosh's review said how, until chapter 13, MC seems s*upid as he forgot how to talk except 1 word. Later it was revealed that ... more>>

Spoiler

one of the god specifically made him like that as his faith value is very low (as he always swearing to god), and he would be able to talk once his faith value go up. Basically at the whim of that specific god.

[collapse]

so maybe at the later chapters he would talk normally.

There's only so much plot-holes, and maybe the author would later reveal something to explain those leap of logic. The only problem with this is that the pacing is a bit too slow, and there's only 41 chapters translated so far.

Decent novel with an interesting premises, so I hope author doesn't mess up later. Will move this to my waiting list. <<less
