I have read until chapter 17, So far the story is progressing of pretty good. This is a story about a Loner's survival in another world. The story starts of at the usual MC and his classmates transported to another world by god, But before they travel to another world they get to choose a cheat skill to help them out in difficult situations, But the twist about this story was.. It was first come first server, Obviously our MC was last, and all the Cheat skills were taken.. Since god felt bad for him he decides to give our little MC all the remaining ... skills that were available and sent him to a forest to start of his new life in another world.

I'm quite sad to write this, as I had initially read up until chp 21 and loved this series as something not to serious with a good sense of humor. Coming back after a while to re-read and catch up, I remembered the quirky/cartoonish way this series handled the generic isekai tropes and managed to make me laugh doing so. The author does a good job of giving the MC a lot of skills without bogging down the pace of the story by having you read too much about every single skill. Only the important skills are emphasized and explained through examples rather than a ... simple text box and description. The art is also a standout as the incredibly emotive features of the characters enhance the story telling quite a bit.

However, after roughly chp 24 the pacing jumps into high gear and the story becomes hard to read. What was an easy enough to follow story about survival is flipped on it's head as new skills are added without explaining how or telling us what they do, and the tone of the story takes a full 180. Plot twists come in, but that only makes it harder to tell what's actually happening as the author keeps throwing new information our way. Then right at chp 37 it cuts and jumps right back into the tone and style of story telling they had excelled at before.

Mediocre. Lack of development in all aspects. Characters have no attributes to make them stand out, and of the 40+ characters summoned, only 3 of them have names (even though most of them are present throughout the story). The world is basically just an environment to introduce monsters for the MC to battle. The first antagonist introduced has no meaningful impact on the story. There is no real conflict worth mentioning. The "cheat skills" that were introduced to create the comparison between the weak MC and the strong classmates are not used. Not even the most powerful skill that created an arc was used. Due ... to these issues, the concept of the manga falls apart.
