Akira, was born in the slum and wishes to get out but the only way he could was to risk his life in these ruins as a hunter.

These ruins, known as the Old World, were danger zones where beasts roam; buildings crumble, and other humans hunt their own…

Though Akira had expected to face death countless times there, he had never expected to meet a naked woman there.

Standing exposed with her curvaceous curves and bosom out for all to admire, Alpha, the breathtaking beauty stood there, looking back at him.

This mysterious enchantress walked towards Akira and…

Iam extremely impressed by everything I have read so far.

Interesting character dynamics. We get character development from the protagonist straight off the bat.

The high level of descriptive writing is also very refreshing and rare for a light novel. The author does a very good job making you visualize the environment and feel like you are being guided by Alpha for every action scene.

Each chapter is also fairly lengthy, so props to the translator keeping up the quality translation and keeping a consistent weekly schedule. I'll be keeping a good eye... more>> on this one. <<less

Created an account just to write this out and there is just a phrase to describe my reading experience.

'A refreshing read'

Unlike most of the novel out there, this isn't something taken from a cookie-cutter format.

... more>> The world itself seems to be a post-apocalyptic story but that there are so much to explore about the past and the present.

The characters themselves are memorable. Maybe due to how much time the author spends expanding on them a little. Even for those disposable 'mob' characters.

Each chapter is pretty long on its own. Around 5K words, and I am grateful that Divine Dao Library did not choose to break them up, unlike some other websites.

All in all, the experience is something that I missed after reading a ton of novels. The refreshing feel of opening up something unknown for the first time to rediscover something you like. If you are like me and have read no small number of stories, I think this one should be on your bucket list. <<less

Refreshingly good read with a novel setting, interesting characters, and cool social dynamics.

The main character at this stage is just a boy who has grown up in the slums outskirting a city with a dystopian wealth divide. While the city itself was built next to an old world ruin to better facilitate looting old relics for commercial and potentially scientific benefit.

The story begins with the main character on his first day as a hunter (a kind of relic scavenger), when he meets an augmented reality being who promises to aid... more>> him in return for promising to raid a ruin for it in the future. The chapters as of yet are following a growth arc, as the main character is guided by the augmented reality being to choice relic looting spots for money and better equipment.

As of yet, there's a lot of potential here. <<less

In depth, detailed and in your face action.

You can actually feel Akira growing up without the need for a sob story or fan service bs.

No romance waifus or sugar coated stereotypes. Rebuild World bulldozes straight to the good stuff that most novels have you wait 6 chapters per scene to reveal.

I don't know how I've missed this gem till now. This novel is being absolutely slept on and it's an absolute shame.

I'll say it straight off the bat for the people that don't have the time to read a full review; read it, give at least it's first 10 chapters a chance, and if you like them, you'll undoubtedly love the rest.

To start off, the characters in this novel are well writen, have actual personalities unlike others in other novels that makes the sea of tr*sh that hides gems like... more>> these, and their interactions are simply a fantastic treat to the eyes. The characters are really dynamic and that makes for really enjoyable interactions. The main character, Akira, himself immediately interested me, and the appearance of Alpha just afterward just complemented his character, and with her, created a really interesting and dynamic duo. There's never nothing going on between the both of them and it's really cool to see. The others characters (such as Shizuka, Sara, Elena, Shikarabe, Katsuya) appeared in a pretty smooth way and felt somewhat natural. Over time, you truly feel some genuine character development with almost everybody that Akira interacts with, and Akira himself started that straight out of the first chapter. While the MC slowly changes according to his environment and social interactions, he does not forget his past and principles that he has maintained for years, and considering the fact that his base personality is somewhat unique and well developed, Ienjoy following him in his journey. When I saw the harem tag on this one, I expected fully transparent cliché characters with a tiny speck of personality that would straight up like him on the spot without any romantic development, or at least without gradually increasing affection overtime without any reasons, but I was totally wrong.

I'll say it again, but this novel is a gem, so don't use the standards that you may have used for other novels, this is the 1 in a 100 or a 1000 novel with which you won't get any disappointment out of if you like it.

The world itself is original and that is already a big plus in my eyes. I've gotten too used to shitty standard unoriginal isekai worlds that a post-apocalyptic sci-fi setting like this makes me pop a bon-- I mean, it makes me happy. Not only does the world interest me as I want to know more about what happened AND what is happening, but it also gives so much possibilities to the author, it just seems like there's not limit in how the story can develop. And the (understandably) vague descriptions of the world, yet detailed enough to give us a general overview, leaves so much to the imagination that I recovered something that I lost after reading so many shitty mediocre novels; the feeling of going with the flow, and letting the author guide me. In most novels nowadays, you'd be able to somewhat predict where things would go and how the story would unfold. Here? I've got absolutely no idea and I love it. The world building in this one is basically top notch and has been ongoing since the start, and has not disappointed me one bit.

Anyway, I'll conclude by saying that, with the exception of the occasional Sheryl parts (I hate her), this has been one smooth and good reading. I really hate to complain about the output of chapters, but it's quite slow. 2 chapters per week is good but it'd be even better if they were spread out with 2/3/4 days between each, instead of waiting a whole week just to have 2 chapters on 2 continuous days. But I guess the translation quality makes up for it, albeit with the occasional grammar error, so thank you DDL.

PS: How tf can Yumina still stay with Katsuya. It may sound bad, but if Akira could take Yumina from Katsuya, she'd certainly would live a better life instead of constently dealing with his stuborness and probably dying young, but that's just my opinion. <<less

One of the better post-apocalyptic novels. You get to see the world thought Akira's eyes and understand how the society works. This is also one of the better harems I have read. If you hate harems, give this a shot, it's not in your face and the harem is very subtle. The author is clearly building up to something big and we are given hints that some characters (Green haired girl ghost) are not all that they seem. This is a novel I look forward to and I suggest you... more>> all give it a shot. The main character might seem annoying but he grows as the story progresses. <<less

If not were because Akira got full brainwashed and act very dumb and contradictory I'll give this very good score, but bro is hard to keep with wn's and ln's with the fetishes and weird writing of the authors. We truly did a number in them back in the day.

World building and sci fi is good, combat scenes are good (in the manga at last).

Protagonist at ch100 is just a dumb puppet

EDIT REVIEW: I waited like a year to see if this got better... nope, author went brain dead it seems and forgot what character development is.

MC is still a puppet with 0% personality, the AI is still the same ''I'm sooo smart and advance but I don't really do much but be a minimap''. And everything else, just lame. A pitty. <<less

A homeless boy in a post-apocalyptic sci-fi world makes a contract with a sentient AI of unknown affiliation. While he does not understand the details of the contract or the AI's goals, he agrees to her ToS and starts raking in achievements thanks to her support. She frequently reminds him that he is alive because of her.

Both the AI and the boy have questionable morals. The AI is okay with breaking his legs if it increases chances of completing her mission and he is fine with saving some waifus if... more>> he can shoot a bunch of guys dead. There's no room for good deeds in this world.

The AI's mystery and where her goal would take him on the path of growth keep the story going, alongside biomechanical monsters left behind by the previous civilization.

Spoiler

Akira is the 499th person Alpha approached with the contract. It did not go well for the other 498.

Alpha's role in Akira's explosive growth eerily resembles raising livestock. "Trust me" does not justify requesting mind control privileges on day one.

1. Overall Story

This is slow-paced novel with lots of battle and conflicts. While the MC born as a child in the slum, you may have to expect a lot of dark & crazy setting. The progress of the story may feel a bit too slow, but contrarily can see how the author portrayed the story in a great details. There are lots of development going on around the MC as there are lots of characters that interlinked with each other later on the story, so expect to read not only... more>> MC's POV but many characters around him.

As how much the potential this story can goes, even with great amount of words in one chapter, I will not be surprised if this can go until 500 ch.

Spoiler

Later on the story (above ch.250), there are some names that may be the keypoint to explain Alpha's background & intention. But as of now, there are no indication yet.

[collapse]

2. World Building

As there are great margin in-between current tl-ed ch & raw, I will not touch much about this as there may be a need of lot of spoilers just to describe it. But well, here's a bit spoiler:

Spoiler

Even with 290+ chapters, the MC has not yet went to Upper District of Kugayama City. But, there are lots of places introduced by other characters. So if we look on the details of location itself, not much been explored but instead was complemented by the tension and conflict of the story in small amount of places in great details.

[collapse]

One thing to say, as sci-fi novel, you may expect lots of details that've been poured in this novel by the Author about monsters, guns, etc.

3. Character Development

Downsides of this novel, the MC was actually a coward and relied heavily on Alpha's support. He also has twisted knowledge and logic and keep loathing his own ability and weakness. The Author also portrayed how his rival and people around him as naive, arrogant, but have all the fortunes he can not have that may agitated the reader.

But here is some news that may redeem agitated readers that don't like the characters.

About his dependence on Alpha

Spoiler

Later above ch.150+, Akira's own ability gradually excelled as he did lots of sham battle with his gang.

Later above ch.200+, there will be time where he awaken in dangerous situation for long period of time without Alpha's support.

[collapse]

Confrontation between Akira vs Katsuya

Spoiler

Later above ch.200+, there will be serious confrontation between them.

[collapse]

As of the romance and other spicy stuffs iykwim, there are some.. But just don't expect it a bit much (at least for now). He may be a thickheaded but not that insensitive.

Here's the potential harem:

Spoiler

Sheryl, Elena, Sara, Shizuka, Carol.. And really expect Shiori as he gave him favorable treatment despite their delicate situation

I binged the translations at Divine Dao Library in 2ish days, so I'm writing this with things fresh in my mind. Briefly, I think that this is a very good novel. The premise is quite original, and most of the characters have a depth to them that's rare in many WNs. I would definitely recommend reading this novel. Here are some of my likes and dislikes about the novel:

Pros

  • World building. The premise and setting are both interesting and well thought-out. There are some elements that the author chooses to "show, not tell" and, whether they have a substantial impact on the plot or not, they collectively deepen our understanding of the novel's world beyond what's immediately described.
  • Character relationships. There is a pretty large cast of characters who regularly associate with the main character. Despite this, the author does a good job of creating associations and presenting characters in a way that, even if you've forgotten their names and/or when they first appeared in the story, you can pretty quickly recall these things.
  • Character diversity. The characters have many different personalities, interactions, motivations, occupations, personal histories, etc., and this really complements well the world-building in this novel. The execution is somewhat lacking, but I can definitely appreciate how a diverse cast is built and used to effectively showcase different elements of plot and character development
  • Action. There are a lot of action scenes, and I would rate them fairly well, given that I'm someone who much prefers magic-based vs mecha- or gun-based action. However, the level of detail can be quite variable, which is somewhat frustrating. Nonetheless, there are several gripping scenes that I enjoyed quite a bit.
  • OP-ness, or lack thereof. A lot of Japanese novels focus on OP protagonists who desperately try to appear the opposite, or hide their power. On the other end of the spectrum, another common trope are protagonists who openly flaunt their abilities, whether knowingly or not. In this novel, especially early on, the author takes a somewhat refreshing middle ground: the protagonist has a clear 'cheat power, ' but using it has clear, reasonable drawbacks. Moreover, the fights are often presented so that the 'plot armor' isn't blatantly ab*sed, i.e. The outcomes are sensibly predictable.
Cons

  • Pacing. Since I just finished reading the latest translated chapter, this issue is at the top of the list for me. Plot progression and character development (for multiple characters) seemed to be going well for at least the first half (100 or so chapters). Initially, it wasn't going as fast as I expected it to, but, once the pace was established, I started to enjoy it. However, since c200, or perhaps earlier, I feel that the pacing has been sloppy and forcefully accelerated.
  • Convoluted action scenes. There are many action scenes in this novel, as noted above, but many of them, especially in the latter half, are quite complex. Long, drawn-out fights, complex acrobatics of weapons, people, buildings, and machines, etc. - Describing these is necessarily difficult when limited to text. However, there are some scenes that are memorable for the wrong reasons, i.e. Better off not included. On example are moves that are never repeated, poorly described, and/or difficult to visualize.
  • Strength progression. Unlike many novels that focus on training techniques/magic/etc. To grow stronger, there is a very prominent emphasis on the importance of equipment on fighting strength in this novel. This lends to a very natural strength progression, as the luck from completing one job can directly translate into better equipment, which begets more 'luck.' There is no mysticism about acquiring strength this way. However, after even just the second or third set of equipment upgrades, the upgrades become stale and uninteresting, and I think that this contributes to sloppier writing in the latter half of the novel, where there is an abrupt change that is not well-explained.
  • Dialogue. Overall, I actually think that the dialogue in this novel was well-done. It added depth to each character, and it contributed immensely to the reading experience. However, as I've mentioned a few times already, there is a clear deficiency in certain characters' dialogue after c200 or so. Dialogue is, for some characters in this novel, the main way readers 'see' them. Thus, the quality, quantity, and timing of dialogue is very important, and, when this suffers, the novel as a whole begins to suffer.

Wow never expected to find a cyberpunk story here. It's well written, especially the descriptions of technology, and I like the setting for the protagonist and partner. I usually dislike stories with child protagonists but I'm okay with this.

just caught up with latest ones bruh took me 3days only stopping to eat.

Story is good, characters are good, developments are.. Meh.

One thing I very like about this is it’s action scenes. Very thrilling and it’s so goood as in really really good.

Don’t worry about harem cause so far I only see friendships ... more>>
Spoiler

there’s a new character later on, she falls for the MC I think? Only shows the intentions to have him and keeps seducing him. Really strong and sexy and works as a hooker on the sidelines but she has a reason for it. Her relationship with Akira gets stronger later on.

[collapse]

Cheryl:

Spoiler

now about cheryl, don’t expect much cause it’s very one sided, but it doesn’t mean Akira hates her. Also it is portrayed in the story that she’s like Akira girlfriend and all and that she’s the only one who Akira really follows which he really does.

[collapse]

Katsuya:

Spoiler

now this is the most surprising thing that has ever happened in the novel. Very unexpected. Won’t tell what happened but you’ll definitely like it if you hate him. Very satisfying both the first and the second one.

[collapse]

Alpha:

Spoiler

Really helps Akira in everything but only on the outside. She sometimes manipulates akira but she really cares for him (as a tool I think?). I don’t really like her cause she has some very shady dialogues sometimes and she doesn’t like it when akira gets close to someone, thinking that it will be a “hinder” for her goals. Just my opinion but I think she’ll be the final boss or something like that but overall good personality.

Been a while since I left a review.

Anyway, it was a good read and probably a lot better than most jp webnovels here. The plot, action and setting is pretty interesting and entertaining. Problem is, the manipulation vibe here is just too strong, too off-putting. MC is barely bareable to me at this point. He's stubborn most of the times on wrong reasons and tbh he isn't really that skilled either. He's most redeeming feature is his stubborness and social naivety yet other than that, he really lack any sort... more>> of thing that can call him special or unique to be an MC.

He's luck is abysmal and the only reason he last till this point was because he was given an omnipresent AI whose intentions and goals are shady at best while MC for some reason is over reliant on it and have most of his actions shown/given to him by manipulating and MC doesn't suspect anything which is getting annoying.

To be fair, he's current lifestyle is 100x better than his previous but still doesn't mean he should sell his soul to the devil and relinquish his control to his destiny to a thing because he's the damn MC.

Tldr.

Story is great but MC is tad bit disappointing. He have the girls (sure) but his luck is absymal and he have zero control over his life and most of it was just the AI pointing it to him. AI has too much presence + with mc's trust + mc's over reliance. Just doesn't give me confidence about his fate. <<less

Refreshing novel. I read the barely readable raw through google translate just to read the story

that's just described how good this novel is

the story is so refreshing, not another "I go to another world to build a harem, revenge, and destroyed their food culture novel" but a concept in a post-apocalyptic non reincarnated protag from the slum that was helped by AI. Still quite strong, but not in the op realm. the translation is pretty good (although because of my impatience I sacrifice the quality of the translation just to... more>> continue the story)

and for the development, I guess it's quite good, the character development is good enough with akira slowly becoming stronger and using a better equipment. And the world building is so realistic that I keep imagine that I was really there. Also, the plot building always piqued my interest, with how the author keep giving clues about Alpha and the ruins

and the fight scene is amazing. It keeps my blood pumping. As for the romance, I'm glad there's NO FORCED HAREM (I'm not a gay or anything, but come on, I've got enough of weird harem building on my plate), and that's a plus for me. Although I do hope Akira can have a good romance (and luck) because it's so irritating that certain someone has more romance (no luck though) than him.

for now, I'll give it 5 star <<less

As the industry evolved and money became the main goal of the LNs writing industry rather than creating compelling stories about believable characters, Rebuild World or RW seems to be going against the mainstream form of developing the plot around the protagonist's composition, giving us a story that includes multiple plotlines of which the majority are outside either of the protagonist's ability or importance. Of course, as the plot advances we see how slowly the line on which the protagonist is built on starts crossing roads with some of the... more>> more important plotlines. But, one of the things that stands out while all of this is unfolding is just how easily discarded can the protagonist be from the perspective of the higher powers or even his closest allies. The one and only character that seems genuinely concerned all the time about him and searches for his affection is for the first time, at least in my memory, described as a parasite with a debt rather than a love interest like how the trend is used to go about it.

This story is truly trying to maintain it's clearheaded goal without giving some sort of power fantasy type of rewards to the management of risk return of the protagonist's action. I'll be rooting for more authors capable of making clear distinctions between how they believe human relations should work and how they actually work.

Lastly, as some may still steer away from this one, I'd like to at least precise that there is no forced romantic interest while the emotional development of the character has not made a leap from his origins. In short, this novel feels more realistic while still raising the stakes. Godspeed with the translations and congratulations to the great team doing it. <<less

One star is for ruining expectations.

This one had a lot of potential, but just like many other authors, they decided to go brain damage at some point during writing.

Inferiority complex ruins it, everything else dealt the last blow to me.

Went with the translated chapters up to 124 and then with machine translation up to chapter 291.

I fairly liked the setting from the get-go. Each chapter is long compared to most other novels as well, so even though there's only around 120 chapters translated, if we compare it to some wuxia types then there would be around 250 to 300 chapters. (It was between 9500 and 13000 characters I think per chapter)

The main story seems to be kept on track fairly well if we exclude the occasional Sheryl arcs,... more>> which to me personally felt like fillers in anime.

The dialogue and character growth for Akira and those around him are enjoyable, the background of the Old World slowly unravels while we start getting more and more peeks into Alpha. The chemistry Akira has with the people he accepts is another enjoyable aspect.

If I had to speak of some gripes it would be how the Hunter ranking system isn't exactly explained but rather given a vague explanation for as we follow the MC's rank rise.
Spoiler

Eg how it was explained that Akira had to reach rank 20 to buy a vehicle when grinding between 10 and 20, or how he was given a forced mission to increase his hunter rank because he was thought of as a 'rank fraud' eg someone whose abilities are a lot higher than his rank says. And then there's the point where we finally find out Elena's and Sara's ranks plus the benefits that come from slightly higher ones. But that's as specific as it gets. It's hinted that for frontline equipment rank100+ is required, but it's all vague

[collapse]

Overall this is a type of novel where I feel it's a shame that it doesn't have more chapters both translated or available overall, so I definitely recommend it.

Guess we'll see whether the author manages to get to the end of his main storyline or not. I hope he does. <<less

Definitely one of the best alternate world - action Japanese novels out there. Despite the obvious flaws, I cannot stretch how much I would recommend this novel. Even back when the pacing and wording were bad, the action and lore were so damn good that I could not stop myself from reading. And when you are already through 200 chapters like I am, the flaws will either be gone or you will get too used to them to notice anymore, leaving only an excitement-packed ride.

Good:

    • Unique and interesting setting. It's like isekai, but in the far, apocalyptic future. The old world's civilization died long ago, but factories while malfunctioned are still left running, spewing out an endless amount of monsters. Hunters are those who kill them to collect materials and look for equipments from the old world.
    • Excellent world building. The world is vast and thought out very thoroughly, making it believable and exciting. Everything exists for a reason, they all have tight relationships with each other and together they form a realistic ecosystem. A whole RPG game could be made from this and I would be down to paying to play it.
    • Great action scenes, very well written.
    • Not your typical MC - he's a downright psychopath. Naive yet not kind, has no qualms mu*dering troublesome people. The story is kinda harem-ish but not the s*upid kind of harem.
    • The art is also fantastic both in the LN and the manga (which I definitely recommend). I would say this serves as a proof how interesting the setting is.
Bad:

    • Repetition in describing the characters' feelings. Reina knows that she is very weak. Kanae loves to have a good battle. Akira knows the only thing he has is the resolve to push through. Those things keep being repeated many times across the story for all the characters, as if the author is trying to tell us "this character has yet to receive any character development" whenever they show up.
    • Boring conversations. As good as the author is at world building, he is terrible at writing a good dialogue. When someone speaks about the world, it feels more like an info dump, or reading a script than a human speaking to another. Many characters possess the same manner of speaking. The story can also use fewer pointless conversations.
    • Lengthy writing. Because of the two points above, each chapter feels dragged. The author has a habit of repeating and explaining things that should already be obvious to readers. You can shorten each chapter by half and still retain the essential parts.
    • Early into the story, the author focused too much on making the MC look good by creating mobs who picked fights with him, or "holy shit" at everything he does.
    • The MC is kinda dumb and contradictary, some of his actions make so sense at all. He also has barely any character development even after 200 chapters in. In fact, among all the important characters, he is perhaps the least interesting one.
    • The only antagonist/rival so far is absolutely unlikeable and boring. He is a huge simp, who doesn't have anything against the MC other than an inferiority complex and a love triangle.

Many people are saying many things about this novel. But to me this is absolute gold no it is definitely DIAMOND. I love this series so much. 1000/10 for me. The world building and the characters are absolutely amazing. But my favorite is AKIRA, he is FIRE. Please don't miss this amazing Novel. You will regret it.

the main reason this light novel fails to be a good story that can stand up to other styles of stories is that it wants to be an anime, not a good story.

this novel is pretty good for a light novel but that doesn't say much. If you get past the horribly translated first 10 or so chapters you get a pretty-good-for-a-light-novel-i-guess story. Every chapter or so the author has to remind you how beautiful the girls are and how big their b**bs are and how they are so curvy... more>> and shit. The fight scenes are fun to read, and then, well, you just keep reading because of promises of epic loot or something. The premise is interesting and there are good sci fi elements in it but it is all kind of ruined since it is written towards an anime so like nothing is described very well and everything has cannons and machine guns on it or something. A lot of things are not really well thought out, like it sounds cool and interesting but its never really explained or its just a "oohhhh bwig mistoweee", so it just feels like the author is lazy or doesn't care. Also the author has clearly never shot a gun like I swear the MC must have Parkinson's if it's that hard to shoot a freaking gun with a scope and an iron man hud at a stationary object.

the writing of the protagonist is meh. There are way worse out there with absolutely no personality but its kind of uninteresting. Sometimes he's a cold-blooded killer and sometimes he's a small child of an unspecified age that doesn't know anything? For some reason the author really really really really avoids talking about exact age as much as possible. Protagonist? We don't know what he looks like other than he's a weak-looking small child. <<less
