Okay, so I saw the ratings and reviews of others, hey its your own reviews... just gonna defend this novel for getting any more 1/2 star reviews if possible...

If you're looking for a harem with r-18 stuff then this is not it... sure the novel's been pushing for this but MC himself doesn't think much about relationships and "considers" a person feeling towards him and "regards" his own before making a decision for it... isn't that what you call normal or proper... sure he's on another world but is it... more>> wrong to remain the same or retain ones "humanity" at least..? come on people.. read the god damn novel properly.... MC has been fought fellow humans, hoomas/hoomans, demons, dragons, and gods and it hasn't changed his own "beliefs" nor "humanity"... you guys wanted a reckless, lustful, power degenerate, good looking MC? this isn't one in the first place... so if you're just going to read a novel then drop it then rate it poorly because the things you're looking for isn't available or found in this one then that's just pure BS... don't bother rating it and make a decent novel lower its rating anymore...

the only thing that makes me sad about the novel itself is how the author turned to the LN instead of the WN... reasons for no new update on WN whatsoever... <<less

Sigh. This is one of the novels that got me into this translated Chinese/Korean/Japanese stories in the first place. But as I began to read more and more, many shortfalls of this one becomes more apparent.

For one, although each chapter is long, absolutely nothing much happens. There are a lot of talking and exposition and stuff, but not much actually happens. There's some attempt at psychologically fleshing out the MC, but for goodness sake, the change he goes through is so labourious and forced, it's not even funny. I've found... more>> myself face-palming more and more at the internal monologue MC has with himself. rather than a compelling character... he's a bit of a moron - an indecisive moron, at that.

Two, there are a ton of side characters which, I have to say, become indistinguishable from one another. Quite frankly, even if half of them were cut out from the proceedings, it would not make one jot of difference. Worse still, the author chooses to focus several chapters on them. I've skimmed through those, since nothing much important happens within these chapters. What a wasted opportunity, if you ask me.

Thus, I'm dropping it. I've stuck through till now, hoping its pacing or the characterisation might improve as time goes on, but alas...

As an aside, there's this trend I've noticed in Japanese "isekai" novels. Not sure whether anyone else felt it, too. How come every single transmigrated people in these novels are Japanese? Mathematically, logically, whatever, such odds make no damn sense at all. This novel is a prime example of that: according to the lore, countless people from the modern-day Earth transmigrated, but all of them are Japanese? But why? Where are the rest of Earthlings? You know, Chinese, Americans, Europeans, etc etc? How... queer. <<less

This novel starts off as a typical Japanese (transported to fantasy world) story, and proceeds to act very similar. Similarly, the MC starts off as a typical OP Japanese-transported-to-a-fantasy-world character, and proceeds to act like one the majority of the time. However, there's an underlying story element that sneaks up on you that changes the whole thing as you continue to read and retrospectively changes the context of a lot of the story as it's revealed. However, it's subtle, so it might take others longer to notice it. Honestly, if... more>> you can't deal with the typical Japanese MC for a LONG time, I don't think this series will be enjoyable for you.

Don't read the spoiler if you can avoid it.

Spoiler

The MC is a ticking time bomb. He's pretending to be a typical Japanese MC and isn't even aware that he's something else entirely. However, more of his true nature is being revealed as time goes by. Events drive sudden character developments by the MC, leaving nearby characters unsettled and caught off guard by his sudden growth and insight.


Although it took a long time to get there, at a certain point the MC started to make me pleasantly uncomfortable. Though highly unlikely, this MC gives me the feeling that depending on what stimulates his development and whether or not he's pushed into a corner, any character who isn't his direct subordinate could be reduced to a bloody mist with little to no provocation.

It's like a psychopath with more power than god living the life of a common person because that's the only way he's ever lived (in Japan,) and the moment he realizes that he's a psychopath, the world will end.

It's really hard for me to say this, but I got dissapointed by this MC, I used to cheer him, there is also a time when I waiting for MC to smack the others that HAVE A DIFFERENT VIEW with him, But after all of this. I just can't get back to his shoe again. I just don't know what he wants to be, what he wants to achieve, what motivations did he have. Authour use so many people pov's about how they can't understand our MC, and well yeah... more>> I am one of those. It's really frightening when all your EFFORTS just thrown all out of the window by some Protagonist's wimp. The way MC came to this world is not a pleasant one, but the way he carried himself is also... ck. You're so goddamn OP, damn it! Forget about all the things you said about don't want to attract Bug's attention, but you clearly so goddamn stood out, idiot.

Well clearly I have a little problem with this MC, while the story itself is good with a little heavy politic stuff here and there, just waiting for the MC to wipe all of their efforts, because what? Because it's bother him. <<less

Amazing series that makes me always waiting and wanting more of it. I don't know why others hate it, but for me it's the most natural story. I like how this series has the POV and Extra chapters that explains most of the story from other characters POV and it connects each other so that the reader could experience not only from the MC POV but from his followers even some nameless adventurer.

And I know sometimes Makoto can be such a dick, but that's a part of his development and the author did a great job making it a slow paced development that it makes some people said it's boring, because those people expect this series shows some badass action from an OP MC that rivaled the Goddess and end up disappointed because they don't get what they want. So honestly, people just need to have less expectation about some isekai novel that always have some kicking ass MC everytime in his/her adventure if you read this novel. <<less

Hello, this is not a generic light novel or WN, do not listen to people saying this, as a translator and a avid reader this novel is great. This novel has actual character development where you can clearly see that the MC is different and is growing as a character and a person. He does not have a harem yet, only two people like him and also a something like him, I am not trying to hide spoilers it is just not sure if the person whats to f or... more>> be f'ed that's all. Strangely the girls do not actually have that much screen time and focuses more on the MC and his third servant more which is a guy. Other great characters always comeback and have screen time not one time characters like other LN's and WN's. Shows the viewpoint of alot of other characters and does show that everything has a reason <<less

Anyway. Just like how the other people gave this a low rating, I do agree with them. And since they already mentioned what I wanted to express regarding this novel, i'll make it short.

... more>>
Spoiler

This novel started off good, it had prospects to look forward to. It had. In fact, it was getting good when the MC all of a sudden got thrown into his first battlefield. He didn't function properly but, he didn't necessarily did bad, nor shown a pathetic sight to his opponents. It was relatable. Understandable. He was unknowingly cut off from his companion, kidnapped and thrown into a hotpot.

What ruined it for me is the fact that he had grown lax after that event. Complacent, even. Because he had "overly capable" subordinates. So, he chose to go along with being a teacher (part-time) instead, when he was supposedly to enter as a student, to learn magic and it's various applications. To learn "common sense" of this world (other). It's history, and surroundings. To learn and find clues of his parent's previous life. And to give the Goddess a spanking. But. Noo~ he went with the flow and decided to teach. It's outright ridiculous. Him, someone who barely knows anything regarding combat application, decided to teach students. Hah. Effin what just happened? this incompetent of an MC is suddenly a position to teach. I mean, it's one thing if he knew how to conduct himself in a battle but, he doesn't. What was the point of him barely surviving his first battlefield? the whole point of him going to the Academy was to learn. And yet he did exactly opposite that.

Now, most of the readers may argue; "that's why he went to the library each day after class, to learn new techniques and other essential stuffs! All he needs to know to rekt ppl next time!". Well i'll be!

If you can learn such things in the Academy's library, what's the point of a student meticulously choosing their subjects and instructors? When they can just go in the library and they'll be able to learn to fend for themselves. Hah~ no good, I'm dragging on. Moving on...

This MC also acts high-and-mighty during his class, well, that is their decided setting. Good and Bad cop. I don't really why he decided such a s*upid and unnecesaary setting, though. Must be a fetish-thing. But that's even okay. What I find appalling is that he arrogantly points flaws of his students, then gives advice, and sometimes tells himself he commits the same mistakes. But instead of following his own advice to his students, he opts to commiting the same foolish action over and over. Which pisses me off. Another thing, he has the audacity to stand above others, both his subordinates and students, and yet gets pushed over by random (be it normal or important) people. Being "forced" to take people under his wing is not an excuse. The fact that he accepted them means he needs to get his sh*t together and properly guide them.

Also, the Author deliberately makes the MC be showered by praise by his subordinates. Like, "Waka is so interesting!" or, "Ooh~ Waka-sama is so strongk~" or, "Raidou-dono is very kind hearted, he can never do wrong because he saved my family." or, "Your Waka-sama is different, I can't see the marvel of his thought process, of what he is plotting, and the direction he is going to take and how it will affect the future of this world. I can only stare and watch him do wonders! Raidou-kun, I want us to sleep together because you are very unique from all the otherworlder that I have met.", like that. It's nothing but reverance to that imbecile of an MC, they can't predict what he is thinking because he DOESN'T think, at all. He pulls miracle out of his bu*t when that time comes. Or, his overly capable trio resolves it for him, saving his sorry ass in the end, after he makes a mess of things. What's more, none of this trio ever points out his mistakes, naivete, foolishness. And even if one could, he'd stop thinking about it too much because it's troublesome for him. Only Ema and Root seems to do so, but he ignores it because what they think is irrelevant, he will live the way he likes. f*cking little shit.

One more to be pissed about is, how recently every chapter that focuses on him is wasted on his monologues, self-derision, how he has no interest in women, how everything is f*cking sh*t for pointing out his flaws in his business, or how a rock is different than a pebble or, or, how one house is made of wood and the others are bricks and leaves. That kind of pointless thoughts, that eat up a chapter, prolonging the event. Suddenly the Academy town is so humongus that cleaning up takes 5, FIVE, fcking days and twenty chapters of walking around town talking to himself.

The MC went to be a merchant and sells things dirt cheap. To help people. I can accept that, inspite my disaggreance and all those pathetically defending him. Then comes this commotion and he waits a few days before taking action to save Rotsgard, dead people here and there. He decided this outcome. It's roundabout and possibly the worst decision he made because, again, he disregard a chapter worth of self-reflecting and decided to go s*upid again. Now, the people he wanted to help with his medicines are dead, well, some of them. But he doesn't recognize it. Because, plot-Armor, he is the MC. Thus, justifiably, reasonable by his subordinates and Makoto-devotees.

Anyway, i'll end it here. It is just making my headhurts. In conclussion, read at your own risk.

Spoiler

well, what can I say? it's pretty short af.

I give it a 3-star rating in memory of Makoto who died in his first battlefield. But after that, it went downhill from there with an exception of POV change and ch.136 that I liked, very much.

P.S. the Romance tag should be removed. No need to mislead people. The Harem is being purposely thrown to the MC by the Author, but they are all empty, it's just there for the sake of catching the eyes of guys who likes harem. This MC is much worse than Lyle. At least, Mr. Lyle was hillarious and has reached puberty, while this story's MC is... impotent.

I'm under the impression that, this Author thinks having his MC get a gf is equivalent to p*rn. Like having desire for the opposite s*x is a bad thing, or is indecent. If Azumi Kei's definition of a relationship between male and female is all about s*x, then that explains it. Pitiful pricks.

Well, Typical Japanese Webnovel with interesting characters, still there's no turning point that will becomes interesting furthermore, the intermission of heroes is like a meh, so many plotholes, about his cheat-like power called "SAKAI" the author neglects the details of his power so we really don't understand about it. That's all for the negatives and for about why it makes Interesting is:
1. Good Character Developments, (Lately, Mio and Tomoe is being neglected.)
2. So many Twists, Puzzles, and you can't really predict will be the outcome and... more>> there's so many hidden variables which the Novel makes a good read so far.
3. And Lastly Doesn't follow the cliche Routes so far like the other novels.

In Summary all I can say is, "ROOT IS FABULOUS, NO ONE CAN STOP ME" HAHAHA :">

P.S. Please, Make A Scene where Raidou (Makoto) is alone with Root with Monomaniac Scenes also Keep up the Good work about the Comedies. !! :&Gt; <<less

I read this a while ago and thought to myself that while I really liked it, it is not the best thing out there. It has OP MC, some cliche plots and isekai which are my guilty pleasure. Thinking again, I don't think it's mediocre at all. I was reading the Death March Web Novel and I realised it was a watered down version of what I'd expect in Tsuki. I think the only thing holding this back is a lack of initiative from the MC but thinking of the... more>> story it makes sense. I think most of all what makes this story different from what a lot of people are saying is bland is that all the people in this story have their feelings and motivation and their actions have some sense to them.
Back to the MC, a lot of things he does is "s*upid". I say s*upid because some one with even the basic experience would do much better in the social interactions he fumbles in. However I think it makes sense: it's like saying a high schooler that he can have the equal standing of kings (even gods). His lack of skill in dealing with high class social circle is pointed out a lot and he gradually improves and gradually realises that he has the power to not care about some of the things other people are worried about. I think it makes for very satisfying scenes. Also, his character does a lot of self reflection esp when he goes to Limia.

A great plus for the story is how it deals with the human vs demons thing. A lot of stories show the demon side as humane and then chicken out on fully sympathising with them by showing the horrible things they do. This one had a lot more balance and I believe most people would prefer the demon side here.

Oh also around chapter 300, Our boy finally pops his cherry.

Negative reviews say the MC is a sociopath. This isn't true. He starts off normal and emotional but becomes disillusioned by the wickedness of the hyuman race. His indifference is because constant hyuman cruelty and greed wear him down. MC is constantly reflecting on his changing personality and fears he is losing touch with his morals, because his morals are a connection with his homeworld, Japan.

Tsukiga is excellent isekai that doesn't get good until the author gets enough worldbuilding in. The first 70 main chapters and supplement chapters move the... more>> plot but build the world, and once the ground is paved it becomes outstanding. It is comparable to Mahou Sensei Negima or One Piece in the worldbuilding and how twists, characters and connections are set up years in advance. World mechanics are consistent, plans make sense and asspulls are rare (mostly early on). Fights are exciting in spite of OP MC because there are clear stakes, just not stakes where the MC's life is in danger.

The only bad part is because author sets up everything, those chapters are disconnected and initially boring. The character Izumo is introduced and has low stakes fights 180 chapters before he becomes important. I skim/skip those parts, but reread them after the character went into starring role, and felt bad I was not more patient. <<less

Its interesting enough? At least to begin with however, the author loses focus midway through and you end up saying huh? What happened in the past 100 chapters? Which there is a plot going on, one that I would love for the author to you know.... kind of move along and deal with. The Goddess? Nah later. The actual race war between humans and demons? Lets leave that alone for like 200 chapters too. The other heroes? Let's meet them and that's it.

Like it's all good but it's so lacking... more>> in focus it's annoying for example
Spoiler

Was the entire War with Aion thing a really necessary plot point? Expanding on why levels exist and how the system was made is nice, but all the characters we care about are past that level so why? The only reason that whole thing started was for you to have a group train defensive battles for this war with Aion thinking your group was overkill. You literally got legendary heroes to do it what's the point?

Overall the beginning... is kinda weak actually on hindsight. But the middle somewhere between 50ish - 180ish ? Is good. Past that all I think about is for the love of God can we get the plot moving. <<less

This is the first time I am writing a review. I really like this novel from how a supposed to be clichéd Isekai turned into something else. An MC who is transported, not being accepted as a hero for the goddess of that world and how will he turn to be a powerhouse.

Haven't read to the latest chapter since I just noticed that there is... more>> an update (God it's been long) but from what I see the interaction of our MC and other heroes will be interesting. <<less

People, if you want a pure power fantasy where the MC kicks ass and gets the girl, there are countless stories out there. But this is not one of those stories. This is a slow story plot wise, as this story takes its time setting the stage for what's going on. When it's not doing that, it's throwing not just you, but also Makoto into the middle of things. I will admit the MC is OP... But only when it comes to raw strength. When it comes to social and business interactions, you need to remember he's only an average teenager/young adult who doesn't know exactly how to manipulate the whole scenario so that he wins. He stumbles and trips when others lay traps for him. The great thing is that he learns from his mistakes and grows from them. His followers watch and do their best to guide Makoto to success, but they don't always save him from failure, letting him learn that what he thought wasn't exactly true...

All in all, this is a great story if you want something to curl up on the couch while in quarantine, and I wholeheartedly suggest reading this <<less

Its so funny how some of you are going to such lengths to defend this novel. If you like it simply enjoy it, but most of these complaints are definitely valid. MC is indecisive thats fact. The characterization of the MC is ultra light and clunky at best that is a fact even after 300 chapters I can definitely confirm.

If a novel wants to avoid the subject of romance they should do so completely only adding enough for realism and glancing over those interactions. Romance is a major part of... more>> life, you people that keep referring to others who are interested in romance as pe*verts are inane, I have yet to see any negative reviewers asking for smut scenes. Romance can be used to add realism and suspense both of which are the foundation of any story. If you notice most of the negative reviews have read though and given it a chance however that foundation wasn't strong enough for them.

The whole 'I'm a peaceful japanese' or 'I'm from peaceful japan' only works at the beginning. One would adapt or change based on situations one has been though. Not sure of the exact time span he has been there but it definitely has been a long time and lots of major events happened with him in the center.

Its an average novel with a weak minded MC its not the first, and wont be the last guys. <<less

This is one of my favorites, unlike the death mage, this MC does not have a grasp of how to deal with this world or what he actually wants

The main struggle is represented in the three heroes

  • If you will hold into your values (hibiki)
  • Throw them out the window like the boy hero
  • Or like the MC which even in his original world his values were simply adopted
And I say adopted cause he knows what wrong and what's not and just simply walks with it

But being thrown in this world where... more>> these values don't work, he is slowly getting his true self out (which is quite scary cuz these ppl exist -he's one of the mc's that hit home ya know-)

Mediocre is the best way I can describe the novel. It is neither too good nor too bad. Just a decent read when there's nothing else. That being said, there are logical faults as well.

... more>>
Spoiler

The protagonist is a "Japanese high school student". He has the Stereotypical trope as a do-gooder within his reach that is so common within many different Japanese Isekai novels. Apparently, acting as a standard protagonist Japanese MC gains you the special attention of a certain dragon (Root, not Tomoe), which doesn't really make much sense. I don't really understand her thinking why the MC is so special. Maybe better than the other two actual heroes, but they got their own issues.

Another thing is that the special background within his parents, which makes absolutely no sense to me. I don't remember why Makoto thinks his parents came from the world he is currently in, nor does it really matter because it's a huge plot hole.

First, this fantasy world he's in has a certain standard of aesthetic beauty built into its reality. Everyone humanoid is beautiful or handsome[unless you're some special ugly demon]. Even the average looking are beautiful or handsome, according to the aesthetics of our world. However, Makoto was born "ugly". From a genetic standpoint, he should have been born handsome because his parents were natives of the fantasy world.

Second, his parents look like Japanese, which also makes no sense. From what we can infer, Japanese people look different from the natives of the world. In fact, the only people who look like actual Japanese are the ones which he turned the monsters into human under contract or heroes. Yet for some reason, a once-noble, who is from the same place where his parents once resided, acknowledged that she knew his parents from a photo, whom both look like standard Japanese. Unless they were hero descendants, this should not be the case.

Moreover, I still don't understand whether there is one goddess with multiple facets or multiple goddesses in that world. It looks like there is just one goddess, as it is noted, but there contradictions in many parts. For example, it was stated that 10 years ago the parents were in the other world, but the goddess was sleeping for several decades. How did his parents end up in another world? Edit: apparently they made a deal with the goddess and Samal, but does that mean the goddess wasn't "asleep" at that time?

Third, the fight with Samal, the self-proclaimed god that is a gate, I believe that it could have gone better for Samal. Samal summoned monsters, items, magic spells, etc. From other worlds to fight against our protagonist. On the other hand, it doesn't seem to mention ever that he summoned celestial objects like meteors, stars, etc. It seems that Makoto said that it would have been troublesome if the ICBM would have hit, but honestly, I think endless meteors would have been more troublesome to handle. I don't know if it's because Samal's knowledge doesn't have knowledge beyond the worlds and into the sci-fi and the endless abyss of space, but I think this antagonist could have fought better.

Fourth, I can't get a hold of the sense of scale of Makoto's impressiveness. There's mentions where a dragon found Makoto going at 60kph through the desert impressive. That's far slower than a car going on a straight highway you know? The average car in the US on a highway has a speed limit of 60mph, which is about 100kph. For a person whose supposed to be beyond the lv1500 Tomoe and Mio, he is far, far, far, far slower. Hell, the top bicycle speed in our world tops even Makoto. Yet he managed to lose the royal guard that was with Tomoki, whom I can estimate that her should level is about 300-600 for being a hero companion. Her speed is also far slower than what I expect a high level would be.

Good premise. I like stories concerning goddess' blessings. This one had it really in a unique way. For most stories concerning goddesses it would be like, the goddess likes you or interested to you etc., but this one made it in a way that the Goddess hates him and threw him away. So far, so good at that point. (Also not a spoiler since it is in synopsis).

What went wrong are the characters.

  1. Protagonist - author tries to portray that he is just a high schooler boy. This is the author's excuse for all the blunders and s*upidity of the MC. The author needs those blunders to set up a plot. For example, he needs the MC to be s*upid in magic powers so he can have a plot explaining magic powers etc. Most novels do that, BUT they gradually move on. There is GROWTH. The case for this guy is that there is no growth, instead he keeps failing and failing so plot keeps going on and on about being a merchant, about magic, and so on and so forth.
  2. Side Characters- by side characters I mean everyone other than MC. This novel suffers from a s*upid MC. That would be good if it is a comedy but the comedy in this story is not on that part so it is tasteless. I've read a lot of books and most authors would make use of their side characters in this case. Like, use the side characters for growth of the MC. Could be like, have someone close to the MC be kidnapped/hurt then the MC goes to realization and obtain certain growth/awakening. It doesnt do that in this novel. He is already OP, side characters are OP (except enemies) so there is no point. No danger at all. So no growth. So I got to ch.143 hoping I could see growth but at that point still no growth. At that chapter it is said he had experienced 2 years at that world already. So 19 years old and you still cant grow up there must be something wrong.
So here I am grumbling. In short:

I give up. I will look for a different novel. This is boring as hell.

There would be chapters where they would only talk about bananas here and bananas there we have banana everywhere and everyone loves it and everybody craves for it. I still endured at that time but there are really a lot of chapters where you can just skim through and you still wont miss a bit. Just skim through the parts where they talk and you will still understand. The worst part is that there is a time where there is only so short conversation in a chapter. Like:

Makoto: "what is the problem?"

Tomoe: " oh banana problem"

*description of banana problem

Makoto: " alright it is decided, we try to graft them"

*then end of chapter

Like WTF?

Seriously, the author made the MC so OP now he ran out of things to post as problem/crisis for character growth. At first, author tried to make Tomoe (side character/possible harem member) a problem by making her a spoilef brat kind of dragon s*ave/familiar but it was gone on later chapters. Tomoe just follows orders by then (investigate this, go there, beat him up) no more of his spoiled brat antics. So I branded this novel as one at the point of no return.

4/5 stars is a not a bad rating.

Why?

Here's why:

  • The MC is normal. Not a genius, not a s*upid person. Just pretty much average intelligence. Smart enough to make it through the day and not too brilliant to rule the world. Joe Schmoe. Now imagine such a person given super powers and stuff. Yeah, you're not gonna get brilliant and super genius decisions nor a willingness to step up and shake the world. What you get is a story about trying to make do with that you have. Save the people you can save and well... in the end live the life you want to live. Not typical isekai. Which is IMHO the genius of this story.
  • The new world of the MC is pretty simple and complex at the same time. Just like ours. I know we read Isekai stories to get away from our own problems. But seriously, we do want a good story too. The MC's new world is not all black and white, not all good and evil, pure law vs pure chaos. It has shades of grey, dirty amounts of grey in there. Lots of it. Expect it to be as shitty as our world and just as beautiful as ours too. That's how well built the new world of the MC is. You get your villains and lost characters, you get your victims and you get your champions. Just don't expect them to be pure and untarnished.
  • The harem. Yes, there is a harem tag. BUT... this MC is very decent and not a tool of his "tool" get it? So be warned ahead of time. Yes, yes, it is annoying to have a dense character in regards to his harem. But our MC just doesn't seem to have time to do the deed. His relationship with his harem members isn't simple as "wham bam thank you ma'am". He knows there is a line and once crossed it is really hard to come back from there. Who among us hasn't had that moment of "I want to go out with my best friend, but if I do... we can't "JUST" be friends ever again. And that's not on top of the next emotional and social complexities and headaches that comes with being a s*x friend... gah!" So yeah. The author is a genius in regards to addressing that aspect. Read the the story and pay attention to the thought process of the MC you will see his fear of breaking that line and all that entails. Pretty much a human way of thinking.
  • The conflicts and resolutions are simple and direct and yet there are consequences that are shown later. This isn't a story where doing X event closes the line. Oh no, later on that X event will result in a bunch of Y headaches for the MC. Can't do spoilers but you'll see what I mean. Our author doesn't let our MC do things without consequences. You can't have your monster episode of the day without resulting in a bunch of headaches later on if you kill it.
  • And in the end I gave it 4 stars because the story seems to be NOT concluding anytime soon. Even the translator is peeved if you read the commentary about the pacing and releases. Sadly I suspect that web chapter 295 is MAYBE the beginning of the MID point of the overall story arcs and only perhaps after Web chapter 666 will we get a conclusion to the events of this story.
Give the story a read. It will surprise you like it did me.

EDIT: TL:DR: He should just grow a f-ing backbone and say "Hell no. Nope Nope Nope!"

I've read as far as chapter 207 and here is my view so far:

The MC is awful. No seriously. He's actually a terrible person. Infact, the side characters are the only reason I've managed to read as far as I have.

My reason for thinking as such is because he has no backbone or substance to him, and while there are some 'foreshadowing' happening, all that pretty much makes the MC an apathetic psychopathic ticking timebomb... more>> who complains constantly about how 'troublesome' things are.

He's 'powerful', but he doesn't use it. He has money, but doesn't use it. He also has no goals other than this vauge notion of 'getting back at the goddess', which isn't happening because he doesn't do anything. He has an ENTIRE world that is changing and growing and he could live there happily and let the Goddess's world burn, but he doesn't, he just keeps going back and getting dragged into 'troublesome things' again.

Don't get me wrong. I have no problems with characters who are wary about power, infact, I'm all for it, but I do expect them to grow up and adapt. However, I'm 207 chapters in and his character isn't growing at all. <<less

Good novel although every time a certain character is mentioned I can't help but want to puke...

About the MC many said this and that I agree to some but it's not that big of a minus yet

but I do hope seriously there is a limit for creating a very passive mc

One of the things I hate about this novel

Spoiler

The unbalance characters of the tr*sh hero Tomoki of a certain Empire his skill a very disgusting ugly cruel and technically absolute evil the CHARM skill the CHARM skill The CHARM skill (it's important must be mentioned 3 times)

At first It was ok as the only being affected is those who have direct contact to him sadly he is collecting B*tch left and right and sadly the MC is still a LOSER who hasn't KISS a women...

Now the annoying part is this CHARM skill CHARM skill CHARM skill can be spread without the tr*sh hero Tomoki doing anything yeah tell me if that is not OP that is technically destroying the balance of the novel.

In other words the ultimate enemy is the tr*sh hero who only F*ck girls and let his CHARM skill CHARM skill CHARM skill do the work as does who are charmed beamed zombie like who only worship the tr*sh HERO TOMOKI

MC? the other HERO? does anyone sane see how bad this goes? even god has not that OP kind of skill so what the point of fighting? what plot? isn't this novel became an MC versus tr*sh HERO TOMOKI legion of mindless zombie?

how powerful is the charm skill? It can charm a Level 400 character that means 99% of the people in that world are not immune to charm doesn't make sense at all.

I wanna drop this novel anytime soon because I can't help but feel like puking every time that tr*sh HERO TOMOKI is mention in the novel.

This could have balance if MC is not a god forsake late bloomer you know how it feel reading a novel about a forever virg*n and the enemy is the same as him but has on OP power that can make any girl his sl*t?

This NOVEL is like the very definition of NTRed!

If any of his companions got charmed I will drop this novel in less than 1 sec good thing that has yet to happen!

[collapse]

Yup this novel has one or two flaw and is so big that I feel like vomiting.

This is just my bias review as I really hate anything that has the smell of NTRed on it! <<less
