I'll be quite quick :

This manga is "not that bad" from what I have read (up to chapter 17), but it feels like every other low-mid tier Isekai : full of incoherence, with a flat story.


Conclusion first (so you don't read the potential spoilers): As every Isekai, this can be an interesting read for someone not used to "reborn in a new world" type of stories. If you have read other Isekai, like Word Magic or Solo Leveling, just pass by.

From now on their can be some spoils in my review, even if I will try to not.

First, this is the cliché of the OP ... MC, a bit like in Reborn as a Slime manga : There is no real challenge in comparison to him, he adapts way too quickly to the situation.

Second, power level of characters are inconsistent : MC is supposed to be OP and able to destroy a country etc, being unique, but there are bad guys stronger than him ?

Third, the second character, a girl transported with him, is also a blessed magician, but "less blessed", and here is the biggest problem in this manga I think : At first I thought like they would be on an equal level, or even the girl would be, power side, stronger than the MC (she is like "quad elemental" while MC is "unique", which would have been wonderful to have the MC be a support type), but no, she is just ... well, shadowed by the MC from the chapter like .. 2 ? So no wonderful character development unfortunately...

I don't often write reviews unless I see a series that doesn't have any and I fell like there's a passionate need for me to say something.

I am a HUGE isekai reader. I've read a ton, and I ultimately plan to read every single one. This one I came across and I gave it a shot, and unfortunately, it fails at doing anything special almost immediately. The first chapter had some small amounts of new stuff, but anything after that is just hard to read.

Actually, let me correct myself. This series is one of the worst isekai series out there.

Let me explain. If you like ... the generic teleported to another world, get op magic powers, a sexy girl companion that's into you, action scenes, adventures guild stuff, and more stuff like that, then you might like this one. But I can promise you that there's countless series out there that do exactly what this one does while also having a soul.

What I mean by a soul is that this series feels like the author was writing this for money and not for anything else. The characters are from a template. The villains are always just the typical evil dudes. The power-ups are all standard as they can be. I could go on and on.

If you want something like this, but done (relatively) well, read Legend. If you want something like this done really well, read Tensei shitara Ken deshita. There's ultimately no reason to read this series. You only have one life, spend it reading something good instead of reading this.

I partially watched the Anime adaption but it was terribly beyond belief.
This specific manga was one of the very first adaptions for Isekai as a whole.
The start setup wasn't bad, it was better than most, but the issue lies with the terrible story.
You can see first hand there is basically no development what so ever?
No direction, no clarity, no reasons or purpose, enforced with a disgusting lack of common sense.
I would like to apply the example of" You should walk the talk, and none of the characters here do that?
It is a bummer, the potential was there but never got to the point of decent.
