The man renowned as Japan’s greatest swordsman found himself guided by a mysterious voice echoing in his mind on his deathbed. This mysterious entity led him to acquire the body of a young elf boy named Hercules, who had lost the will to live.

Taking on the name of the young Elf, Hercules, he embarks on a second life in another world. However, in this new world, the concepts of “levels”, “stats” and “skills” stand as formidable barriers.

With his loyal partner, a tiger-shaped magical beast named Toramaru, he embarks on a journey to overcome each of these challenges one by one.

Don't let the awfully generic isekai title fool you, this has a lot of promise. The beginning is pretty well done and the characterization of the MC has been fair so far. He just got some new companions a couple chapters ago so we'll see if they have character growth soon. Might be a bit early to write a review on this, perhaps I'll edit later just thought it deserved a review.

While nothing sticks out as bad, the story just seems poorly thought out.

What he manages to accomplish in 24 chapters is really dumb considering how power scaling is explained. There is also a lot of time given to uninteresting characters that are honestly very unlikeable. Found it hard to continue reading when I didn't like the characters, background or story pacing.

I will include the spoilers about power levels

Spoiler

It's explained that level difference is very powerful. A level 9 swordsman would never be able to defeat a level 13 guard. Then he manages to kill a level 100 dragon with a sword slash at level 9. It's explained it was intentional by the dragon, but it's poor world building to allow him to 1-shot the strongest creature in existance.

It works even less when at the start of the novel, his sword could not even cut through skin because of the level difference.
