s*ave 1: She's just a yes man and she'll always say things like, "Of course the Master is correct, " every opportunity she gets.

s*ave 2: She's alright.

s*ave 3: She literally only cares about fish. She only talks about fish. She only thinks about fish. She works for fish. She lives for fish. She dies for fish.

s*ave 4: She's kind of an easy going air head. Not very interesting.

s*ave 5: She's a s*ave but wants to go into politics. She literally keeps on bringing up how she wants to enter the political scene ALL THE TIME.

When he fights the first group of bandits, in the WN he kills all of them, while in the LN he explicitly does not. However when he contemplates some of the bandits chasing after him in town, he notes that that shouldn't happen because he killed all of them, in both the WN and the LN.

When he sells the weapons to the merchant when he first arrives in town, in the WN he keeps the saber because of its higher quality (which the merchant doesn't recognize), while in the LN he explicitly does not. However later on, in both the WN and the LN, he ends up wearing the saber because (he notes) he did not sell it to the merchant.

Based on my knowledge of the WN, I'd want to correct danglinhson and cbrtlsseca on bonus points: MC has 99 points + (the level of his primary job - 1). He does get extra points for leveling his primary job, but he does not get extra points for any additional jobs he has set.

As for his leveling strategy: While I would certainly do things differently, his choices are not actually bad. Durandal improves his leveling speed more than boosting XP gain while using a more mundane weapon would (see: the slow rabbit in the woods outside the first village), while also aiding survivability (HP drain) and sustainability (MP drain). When optimizing for XP per unit time, it's an excellent choice in the early stages.

Usually, web novels (WN) tend to be of a lesser quality than the light novel (LN). This case is slightly different, at least when we consider the story development.

A "problem" that both, WN and LN, have is the meager characterization the newcomers/s*aves have along the tale. Both the cat girl and dragonet (or dragon girl) are presented as simple individuals who are tamed by the mainstay dog girl and have not much to say other than "let's do it, desu" and "it should be fine", respectively. But, at least in what concerns the dragon girl, things were interesting in the novel. She was one of the few s*aves we've seen along the plot that had been treated as a s*ave. Here it gets ugly, but she is seen as less than a dog or cat. She was only able to eat whatever was left behind or basic bread and water. And was treated badly being screamed at and worse. That was so bad, to the point she wanted to get as much money as possible to become able to buy her freedom on some special temple who-knows-where. When she is treated as a person by the MC, she first does not get it and at some point cries for joy.

You should've guessed by now. We got nothing of that in the LN. Not even a thing more than a passing remark about how the previous masters where bad people. That's it.

So she had basically no characterization. To the point that in LN she is just a tank that follows them up and down while saying "it should be fine" and similar from time to time.

A waste does not begin to cover how bad this is.

There is more, but this is more of a pet peeve. The MC here has zero evolution, at least mentally. Thing is, he is a cautious person. What is fine by itself, sure. He is in what seems to be a medieval world living with some strong OP gear and build, not forgetting his ability to mingle with his stats and jobs. He is almost able to singlehandedly mince most of the monster if he desires. One could say that at some point the labyrinths would require him to pay the price for the recklessness he would act. But he constantly doubted things would work out when we made both his part a cheat too. They are almost able to run a whole labyrinth down in a day, considering how he adjusted their build and capabilities. And he doesn't do it. He insists that if they keep on going, tomorrow they will end up dead. Hell, by the looks of it, he is not hit for once for at least 2 volumes. Or in the least, not to the point of him feeling any pain at all from it. This is laughable.

And he does not trust a person besides his s*aves. One could defend it as he not wanting to be a pawn from some noble elf bastard. But that is not the only case. He seems to believe the elven duke wants to stab him in the back. And to make it worse, this is only because the elf is pretty and is married to an amazing beauty. If that is the reason for all this indisposition to work together, then he should get f*cked already. The reason being, a noble is an important contact in that world. He needs to have a safe bed if things get tough. For whatever reason. And I know that not trusting nobles is important. But he is not acting smart, and it gets tiresome at this point.

I would at least prefer it if he came clean with the girls and said that he is unsure if things keep going like that, he would be discovered as a cheating monster and get hunted down. That would justify how much of a c*nt he comes across.

His first labyrinth liberation was dull as f*ck too. I'm not sure why they made such an important plot point a one-page thing and that's it. Hell, the fight was more of the same. It ended with him taking out the limitations of his cheat weapon, something that was never even shown as a thing before the last 4 to 5 paragraphs of the last chapter in the last volume. Where the hell did the author take out that?
