MC lives in a Hunter/Gate world, processing monster parts while dreaming of being a hunter. He awakens with an EX-ranked class, and while he decides to hide his true abilities until he's strong enough to not get taken advantage of, he now gets to live his hunter dreams. Story isn't anything new, but it's good. 5/5 for me so far because I have a hunter/gate addiction and this satiated me.

MC isn't a genius but he also isn't s*upid, he makes mistakes but he's insightful, and he isn't a saint but... more>> he isn't apathetic to others. While he's knowledgeable he lacks experience at the beginning, so while he impresses others with his confidence and knowing monsters' weaknesses he's obviously acts like a greenhorn. His ability doesn't give him a super power-up from the start and he has to work to get stronger. In a genre where protagonists are usually super-geniuses and quickly reach OP status, and characterized as either all-caring heroes or needlessly cruel villains, MC is just a normal guy and that makes him refreshing.

Some random interesting details - hunters don't get an Inventory so people have to lug all their stuff around in bags. MC wearing his gear while going out in public and not carrying it in a case and putting it on at the gate is one of the things he does that shows he's obviously a new hunter. Much like in real life, MC's experience processing monster carcasses both makes him used to facing monsters and makes him knowledgeable about the anatomy he's trying to stab. Little details like these keep the story more grounded.

Some people will probably find this boring but I think it's enjoyable. If you need another hunter/gate novel, try this one. <<less

Every single character: "he didn't declare what rank he is? Probably F rank." <MC does literally anything> "I thought he was F-rank?!"

This interaction has happened no less than four times by chapter 40. I'm still waiting for any real plot to show up beyond him hunting various things.

Well, I'll keep reading it. It's not good, but it kills boredom.

Regarding Dreyer boys' comment, let me tell you that this person must not have actually read the story.

The only thing she did was make a meaningless criticism, she is comparing this work with others where MCs they become op quickly since here it is not the case that the MC grows slowly for us readers, of course in comparison to the people in his world he is growing quickly.

Regarding the thing about being cowardly and shy, that's a total lie, he's someone who is hard-working and courageous. His first time... more>> entering a gate, he was nervous but that's it, he didn't hesitate in the fight.

Regarding the supposed FL she is not interested in him as a man but as a hunter she is obviously trying to recruit him for association.

I could refute her entire critique, but I won't.

kakipii13's comment was accurate and I agree with it.

I just wanted to talk about some things I liked and didn't like

I thought it was funny when he talked to his neighbor.

I was able to identify with MC in several moments, I was also impressed with him at times. (In his moments with the store I always identify with him and end up laughing)

The only thing that made me angry were some situations, I know that when he grows up a little more and doesn't need to hide anymore, he won't have to go through that kind of situation again. (I'm anxiously waiting for him to go through this anymore)

Honestly I'm quite curious about some suspicious things, it will probably take a while for clarification but I can wait

Anyway, I recommend reading the work, it may not be to everyone's taste, but it is a good work.

Regarding the MC's ability, it is op but has a good balance, it offers the possibility of growth and strength, but in return I need to put a lot of effort into it to really be able to grow, I can't explain it precisely but basically and in a certain way balanced.

I tried not to say any spoilers for future readers, if I said any I'm sorry.

Sorry if it's confusing, I'm using Google translate. <<less
