![]() Reading this LN is like watching a dull slow-motion montage of Superman saving people out of resigned obligation. I eagerly waited for the 3rd and 4th volumes to be translated but it was all a huge letdown. This started out with promise where you're experiencing an unfamiliar world with a seasoned main character who is a legendary blacksmith/super katana Jesus that saved the world. ![]() Even now I still couldnt get the taste out of my mouth. ![]() Usually I satisfied just seeing the review of the novel I read, but for this I couldn't bear others get tricked by the setting and genre like me, and for the comment bellow me saying "this is the standard of jp novel" no its fricking not, this lukewarm curry-tastes-sh*t is not normal. At this point I just wonder why does the author pick this theme, might aswell pick slice of life to write (fyi the new gate also crap compared to other slice of life genre) Whilst its good if the main character is humble, however if the MC is too f*cking fricking humble its just sickeningly disgusting. The warm yet bitter feeling, thats the sh*t taste (taste horrible!) Thats the feeling I get after I read this till. The story? Woow if I'm allowed to quote the awesome comment bellow me, "it's like reading about superman who helping grannies to cross or competing in sports tournament being slightly faster than the other player". Thats the curry looks (looking delicious~) The setting? Is fricking promising, I mean a guy soloing a death game, saving all people trapped in it, and receive omnipotent power when he awakes in the future. Is it terrible? Not really, but there doesn't seem to be any kind of direction or plot or interesting characters or anything at all for that matter. It's a thoughtless, mindless approach to a story such as this. He doesn't even seem to be concerned that he's trapped in this world, or if he's in some kind of danger as a result. But then you have scenes where he goes out and does low level quests like collect herbs for the entire day - but why? Why does he even need to register as an adventurer? He's practically a demigod at this point and can do anything and everything he wants to do so why does he choose to pick up weeds again pray tell? I don't understand it. It just feels like a chore whenever he 'shows off' to people in an attempt to get his ego stroked. more> - of course he makes sure to show just enough that everyone wants to fellate his ere*t member, but otherwise it's a rather mundane and wearisome way of writing a power trip. It makes no sense to me that the MC while being basically 3x stronger than the final boss at this point goes out of his way to try and just fit in. Two volumes in and I've concluded that reading this novel is a waste of time. It wouldn't have been so bad if we were given some kind of alluring atmosphere to read into (something along the lines of a SOL perhaps). I'd personally rather watch paint dry than have to read this again. The world Shin explores is BIG, it takes time to make connections, but I have the feeling we will see these reactions within a couple more volumes. The author intends to dedicate at least a whole chapter to reactions, but it's not crazy to believe he would make it HALF a volume on reactions from people Shin have met and other influential yet-to-meet characters. The author has commented on alphapolis after I asked him about how people will react: Regardless, yes, we would love to see the characters' reactions who have met him and interacted with Shin. Hopefully I've enlightened some people out there.įor people complain about Shin not revealing himself Why would he do it? Does he earn something other than blind fear and praise from those around him? Would you do it? Seems like an insecure thing to do. Other reviewers on this page who give this series a bad grade haven't dared to show how far they have gotten in this series, most likely they haven't read long enough to actually understand the plot. I recommend this to people who likes to read series according to the tags written, as well as know how to check for clues, as most (if not all) points brought up in this story, the author will come back to. ![]()
