This series somehow was recommended at the top with less than 50 chapters with millions of views so I figured it can't hurt to try it myself.

As of writing this review, I have fully caught up to the unofficial translations. I can only describe this Isekai story as "slightly above the standard."

The story centers around our usual Japanese MC getting whisked away into a world and coincidentally into a mysterious island. Seeking peace, he gets involved with powerful people very soon. That's the whole story, and there's nothing more to it. Everything feels....expected and no surprises at all.

It feels more like this series is playing ... it safe by sticking to the tricks and tropes rather than going further.
I will give a decent rating since there are some good points, however, it can't get any better than this.

4.7/10


I love reading isekai trash like no other man, but this one just had no readability or enjoyability. From the characters to the plot, everything was cliche and poorly introduced, which ruined any enjoyment of a “bad isekai.”

The characters are the materialization of generic, as they have the same personality and characteristics across the bad isekai genre. Whether it be the overly trusting and supposedly op side characters or the dense, op mc, they all have have been done before. The plot is also the same-old, however, the plot in this seemed like a fever dream — the events spawned out of virtually nowhere.

There ... are “bad isekais,” but there’s also a subcategory called “bad bad isekais,” which this is. There is zero entertainment value from this, as this is another slow-life, op mc carbon copy.

Absolute trash isekai. It is probably one the worst things I've ever read. This feels like a manga someone threw together in an afternoon to pad out a magazine. I would describe the genre as shounen for 5 year olds. Random overpowered super-beings show up on an island and instantly become best friends for reason. Then they stand around for awhile and show off how strong they are. There doesn't appear to be any conflict or drama of any kind. All the characters are annoying and unlikable. The depth of story here is about the level of an Elementary school project. The dialogue is cringe. ... The art style and dead faces look like something from a horror manga. I'm in shock that this even got published.
