Great series to read for Scientist Archetype MC who came from completely different earth than ours.

An interesting point is that how they setting has resemblance with Project Moon-Verse (26 Cities controlled by Corporations.) each city has special ties and rules that our MC will surely put his grubby hands on.

but unlike project moon it has a more light-hearted atmosphere.

This is an extremely fun read. It's just fun, if you're looking for something more besides fun and vague science, look elsewhere.

The basic premise is an isekai, except the world MC comes from (Earth) and the world he ends up in look very similar. Now extremely light spoiler time, MC comes from a very futuristic earth, which results in the story actually being about trying to unravel the inner workings of two worlds. MC can reproduce technology that others can only make with superpowers, and it takes him (and everyone... more>> else) a while to realize that means his technological level is ridiculously high and everyone else is basically using magic cheats to get the same results. So MC begins to study how superpowers work, how magical girls work, how magic works, and walks away with insane revelations each time.

Very entertaining, and also doesn't suffer from "oh my god I can't believe it" fatigue like other OP character stories do. He's not s*upid or insanely arrogant, and he's not really a genius either. He's just a PhD Engineer from Sci-Fi times with a bit of an evil streak, now that there aren't any more pesky scientific study regulations.

The characters are fun, there's an in-universe explanation for the gathering of nearly insane quirky characters, the world is pretty interesting, and the plot is constantly progressing, without having any offs and ons.

The two very minor annoyances: Romance undercurrents, as the story has the trope of "women fall in love with him" for story reasons and not like a realistic relationship. This is worsened by the fact that MC is nearly as*xual but too polite (or rather afraid of everyone with superpowers) to turn people down properly. Oh well, still better than most. Second, slight issues with the translation, mostly pronouns being mixed up, or names changing slightly over time. These are extremely minor and I didn't have issues with the sentence structure or understanding what was happening, but if you hate that kind of thing, here's your warning. <<less

The novel is really fun to read, but it's blantantly obvious that cyborg-tl is just mtl. Not only are gender pronouns, like he and she, used randomly, the sentences arent even correct a lot of the time. Whether it's a sentence referring to the wrong person, or things that even a novice translator would translate correctly based on context. For example, they translated what I assume to be 'ㅇㄷ' literally as A.D., when it's clearly referring to 여덟, which is Eight in korean.

Edit: although Im still reading it, because... more>> I like the story, I really cannot justify it being even 4 stars simply because of the translation, so I lowered it even more to 3. Some mistakes, like using the wrong gender pronouns, are pretty minor in that the average person can probably figure out what the sentence is supposed to be, but there are a lot of sentences that I can only figure out because I know some korean. The mistranslations are too common, and even the minor ones take me out of the flow of the story because I have to decipher the sentences instead of just reading the novel. <<less

This is a very good novel worth your time. The character building and world building are fairly decent and the plot progresses at a decent pace. A scientist from the future is transmigration into a world of superpower based power system (similar to BNHA/The Boys). He then creates inventions that changes the lives of people around him and causes plenty of chaos. Writing and translation both are pretty good.

I would recommend the King MTL version over Cyborg tl version since the latter are mistranslating so many things - gender, shoes... more>> vs heels, Evilus vs Eblis (MC name). Also all of these are in the very first paragraph of very first chapter.

Overall its a 9.1/10 for me <<less

This novel is episodic, so it naturally shifts from one arc to another, rather than following a traditional, linear narrative path.

Have you ever wondered what would happen if you mashed up some of the most popular tropes in one novel? Think magical girls, medieval fantasy magic, demons/cultists, sci-fi, heroes vs villains, isekai, world travel (kinda) , and misunderstandings all thrown into a blender. That's exactly what you get with this novel. Ngl, after reading the first five chapters, I wasn't expecting much. But as the story unfolded, I was hooked.... more>> The world-building, plot, and characters aren't just good, they're wildly entertaining.

Now, is this novel a masterpiece? I wouldn't go that far. It's not particularly deep or profound, but it excels at what it sets out to do: entertain. The characters might not have the most intricate development, and the plot can be predictable at times, but the way it all comes together makes for a fun and addictive read. As a piece of pure entertainment, it really delivers.

I'd rate it an 8/10 for the sheer enjoyment factor. If you're planning to dive in, though, make sure to read it from King MTL. Cyborg TL's version? Feels like MTL, it's not that bad, but I personally think the former is better.

PS. Very good world-building and an interesting power system. Also Magia Baiser is here for some apparent reason.

For those who gave up reading before reaching Chapter 40, the reason the protagonist isn't getting stronger is because he lacks the essential conditions for growth. He's literally just an ordinary human armed with sci-fi knowledge, without any special abilities to help him advance. And building strong machines for himself can backfire, so he's not willing to take the risk just to get stronger. <<less

MC from a futuristic Earth. MC transported to another world where superpower is common place and having non is disability. In this new world science is far behind, probably on our world level. Instead they use superpowers to create things making their technological level weird.

So our MC is genius who thinks that it is ordinary and creates a mind-blowing inventions.

Story looks interesting, but current translation is MTL without proofreading. I'm still not sure if MC is male or female.
