What’s Wrong With the Summoner Being a Shadow

Description

Links are NOT allowed. Format your description nicely so people can easily read them. Please use proper spacing and paragraphs.

It has been a long time since another world has become a familiar presence.

By turning on the switch of the mobile terminal “Gear” that is given at the same time as becoming a high school student, it has become an era where you can spend a day in a different world instead of dreaming that day.

The main character, Toru Fujima, who is a twisted shady guy, gains aptitude for summoning magic, but there are no essential monsters to summon.

While unavoidably earning a living by collecting, he comes into contact with a group of Paripi (party people) in his class and encounters a girl who is being treated as coldly as he is. Little does Toru know that this is the beginning of everything.
—————————————————————————————————————

In an era where people can freely travel between other worlds and reality like a video game, Tooru Fujima is an introverted guy in high school who thinks of extroverts as his enemies, and considers a confession of love from a girl to be a punishment. “I can only depend on myself.”

With this in mind, Tooru had decided to start making a living as a summoner in another world, but monsters are needed for summoning magic to work… And since there are none, he’s been living day-to-day, making some income by harvesting medicinal herbs and such.

Back in the real world, Tooru goes his own way, ignoring the advances and confessions of love from beautiful girls. But one day, he meets a penniless girl who’s good at wandering the streets… And they end up living together, becoming partners, and even getting married?!

The characters are good, good growth, but the story is slow paced. This is more of a coming of age story than an isekai/adventure sort of story.

Someone said he has a "weirdly specific persecution complex", it's called being a bullied kid. Kindness is returned with malice all the time, especially with kids.

Spoiler

There's a group of 6 popular kids, one of them is a girl the MC previously saved from getting r*ped and mu*dered. 3 out of the 6 treat him like garbage and the girl he saved doesn't say anything about it, but she says she loves him. Obviously, he thinks she's lying.

I have read 24 chapters of a boring dude who seems to have a weirdly specific persecution complex and honestly don't care to read any further.

I'm fine with slow-paced works but ... more>>
Spoiler

he goes through the entirety of Volume 1 without summoning a thing and turns down the chance he gets to do so in a very melodramatic way for a s*upid symbolic reason that also happens to be wrong.

[collapse]

I guess the setting's idea of easy and common travel to and from a JRPG world (not even VR, the main vadt attend high school on Earth iirc via portals they can go to a fantasy world where they respawn with lost levels if they die) is a neat idea but it doesn't make up for how dull the story is.

I didn't like any of the characters or the plot and was just waiting for when he'd finally summon, but I've utterly lost interest by this point. <<less

A good novel.

One that takes a loner's point of view and shows the traps that they see from those that bullies them.

In the same vein, it also shows the growth of the character, while getting to know those around them in a deeper way.
The slow romance of the female lead is heartwarming.

Looking forward to reading more.

The novel started out alright but goes downhill really quickly. Reading the raws till 08-13.

We have a dull and depressing MC with a s*upid backstory of how he was bullied by the same guy since elementary school.

To protect himself, he forgets the memory of that incident. So many chapters in, the author is still using the same excuse.

... more>> Oh no, a summon died?

MC forgets the existence of the summon itself to "protect" himself from the pain of that. Meanwhile, female characters cry because of the loss.

Instead of creating a 15 year old MC, author should have went with a guy in his 80s with dementia.

Might revisit in the future, but for now, it's dropped. <<less
