Considering the sophistication of the web-novel, I expect the LN will be even better.

I've enjoyed reading it via Google translate so I suspect it is well written and a real translator could make it sparkle like a vampire under the midday sun.

It has some action and some mystery and plenty of mind games. The later is because, essentially, it is a story about a wise, cunning, JP MC who lacks any martial or magic abilities. He's portrayed as excellent in terms of his understanding / parsing of the psychology of... more>> others. Of course he's a modern world human and also has solid analytic, logistical, and memory skills.

There's some dabbling re: introducing technologies to this new world but mostly theoretical discussions so far so it isn't annoying on that level. Introducing foods is done a bit but again not too heavily. There's devils / demons lurking not so far in the background and more than a few countries introduced -- likely for future travel. R0mance is not a big aspect of the story though -sigh- there are a gaggle of women surrounding the MC (at least it is genuinely not a harem... yet)

It's a comparatively intellectual and dialogue heavy story but it is much higher quality than many other JP webnovels. <<less

I've read the manga since there was no translation updates for the novel. The male protagonist is adept at thinking one step ahead and scheming to protect himself and the people he cares about despite his lack of physical power. It's one of the few isekai stories that have depth and sense of realism which make it easier for readers to relate to. It's unfortunate that there's been no translation updates for a long time. Another similar novel is Wortenia Senki but the story pacing is getting really bad these... more>> days and there are quite a lot complaints about that. <<less

Oooh, I hadn't started this because it's got so few chapters, but I've already read ahead on the manga so I definitelly want this to continue because it's an interesting one.

MC isn't OP in your typical sense.

Imagine "L" from "Death Note" was Isekaied to your fantasy world... I.T'S T.H.A.T A.W.E.S.O.M.E.

definitelly deserves a full translation not only because it's unique in it's premise but because IT'S "L" ISEKAIED INTO A FANTASY WORLD.

I've made my case.

Average

What? It's awesome and I'm wrong???

Look, with the bombardment of tr*sh tier stories, anything average will seem awesome. Yes, at least the basic was made, the 3 pages of background characterization for each character, but this is different from development, don't mistake.

The MC harem is not good, the girls' average IQ is on the single digits and the interactions soon become repetitive, their personalities are very shallow, nekomimi girl who calls you master, the gorilla knight in shining armor, and the useless whiny priestess.

The knight and her tsunderish violent behavior is not funny, nor its romantic, who likes to be beaten for that crap? That's the main reason the score is 3 instead of 4. Yes, I know, there will always be a tsundere in nip novels, is impossible to run away.

Other things that didn't go well were MC getting bff with the king in the first time he talked to him, that was too fast, and the lazy synopsis that seems to make it run away instead of attracting readers.

The MC is likeable so everything is ok.

Started off seeming like a refreshing departure from the usual overpowered protagonist stories, but the story stopped being interesting after the intro; plus I could not stand the translation, had to stop reading.

Pros:

-not the usual overpowered protagonist, this one can only depend on his smarts

... more>> Cons:

-story tapers off after intro, aimless and uninteresting, supporting characters quickly become window dressing

-this protagonist might not have cheat powers, but as the story progresses there's a strong feeling of writer making this protagonist unrealistically 'overpowered' in terms of his ability to outthink everyone.

-subpar translation makes it hard to read; seems like rather than Japanese, the deficiency is in English <<less
