Synopsis

Game loving shut-in Kazuma Satou's life as a young schoolboy in Japan abruptly comes to an early end...or at least it was supposed to. When he opens his eyes, though, he sees a beautiful goddess that offers him a once in an after-lifetime chance to be reborn in a parallel world. The catch is that the world is violent and threatened by a growing evil! Fortunately, he can choose any one thing to bring with him. So he chooses the goddess, Aqua! And so his adventure with his gorgeous companion begins—if he could just get enough money and food to survive, keep his goddess out of trouble, and avoid grabbing the attention of the Demon King's army!

This review contains minor spoilers.
I have tried my best not to subtract any enjoyment from reading the novels by carefully selecting which minor spoilers to use within this review.

Basic plot outline
----------------
Kono Subarashii Sekai ni Shukufuku wo! tells the story of Satou Kazuma who is a shut in that dies in quite the pathetic way and ends up getting transported to a fantasy world.
In this world he has a choice to have any weapon , skill or talent , however he ends up choosing an idiotic and slightly more than useless goddess to be his companion.

KonoSuba is a perfect case of the writer trying to have her cake and eat it too.

The initial volumes seem to be a parody of the many fantasy settings and harems found in other LNs. And it was done pretty well. The protagonist and his companions each had a distinct personality, and the hijinks they got up to could be pretty funny, even though I think their full effect is felt much better through animation.

However, in the later volumes, the novel falls prey to the tropes and cliches it was initially parodying. That too in a pretty blatant way, though the serial nature of the read more

I love that anime version, and now i'm falling in love to with this novel. It's so fun and refreshing to read this type of novel.

Story have a plot and continuity. Conversation look so good, so natural, and so enjoyable. They have fun with each other, have fun with adventure, have fun mocking the enemy (LOL), and yeah .. Have fun for everything. The story maybe little generic, but their conversation is one of the best for me. If you want a romance that you couldn't find in anime, you can read this novel (if you can't wait to S2)

Art was so good. I like read more

This novel... I don't know where to start.

Now, after reading through from Vol.3 to Vol.7 in 2 days, I felt a vast amount of different emotions in so little time. Be it anger, joy, sadness or a sense of familiarity towards the characters, it was such a refreshing and pleasant to read LN. I am glad that this, as well as an anime adaptation of which I have yet to watch exists. You may be asking why vote 7, which is considered a below average rating here for some reason, but I think it can neither receive a lower, nor a higher rating than "Good." With its good and bad points which I will talk about, "Good" pretty much justifies it better than any other score. Also keep in mind that I will not talk about the main outlines of the LN which are covered at the synopsis above, but some details you might want to know before starting to read. Thus, it will contain some minor spoilers.

Kono Subarashii Sekai ni Shukufuku wo!, or KonoSuba has, I believe, a very character-driven story. The novel introduces a MC, a set of heroines, makes a chemistry between them and throws them around different events while you read their reactions, and are mainly interested in how they react. This type of style is not bad, in fact it is one of the main reasons why KonoSuba is enjoyable to read. Breaking down the elements:

- Story -
The story is basically what will happen when you decide to play Dungeons & Dragons with a group who REALLY knows how to have fun. Think about an adventuring party where the tank cannot do anything other than tank, a mage who can only cast a single devastating spell a day (and has an obsession about it,) a jack of all trades who is the tsukkomi of all the hilarious hijinks and a healer who is retarded. They run from one trouble to another, and you never get tired of it. The overarching story is something like defeating the final boss and returning the goddess to where she belongs, but who cares about that? After some time even the LN itself stops caring and has fun on its own. A bad thing? Certainly not.

- Characters -
Let me talk about the three girls accompanying the MC first. I should say, I am amazed at how interesting all of them are. Bless the mind who has come up with these three fictitious ladies. Aqua, a goddess who has been dragged to troubles and can't be treated like a goddess anymore is an idiot. The way she talks and acts without sparing a single thought to consequences spices up everything, and I love it. Megumin, as Kazuma says, a loli type character who leans more on the insane side. Like, her parents dropped her headlong at her infancy or something. And Darkness, a pervert and an open M with an eccentric personality. There is a wide range of different side characters, and while some of them (Vanir and Wiz combo) are just hilarious, others can feel like they exist solely to deliver fanservice, or some two dimensional and annoying people. Speaking of annoying, here is the first rage inducing element. Excuse me for being vulgar, but the main guy Kazuma Sato is a huge, majestic faggot. I have lost count on how many times I have been pissed of his actions. Seriously, this guy is such a bastard and an ill-natured person that it is possible to get amazed about why he, as the main character is written like this. He not only loves to badmouth his party members as a way to show affection, but is a completely undependable asshole in many situations. I wouldn't care if he were to be a bland self-insert character since that type is very much acceptable and normal as a Light Novel trope, but as you read, Kazuma will dance on your last nerve. Or not, maybe you will justify his actions because of what I am about to say in the next paragraph, but it is a fact that he is selfish as hell.

The other thing I mainly hated about this LN is the fact that these four party members treat each other like trash. It is unsettling when each of the girls talk shit about Kazuma for absolutely no reason, and he talks back with a similar attitude and they have a fight. It would have been better if they were more chill about stuff in my opinion.

- Art -
Considering the style of Light Novels, the art of KonoSuba is pretty neat actually. Liked the smooth illustrations of Kurone-sensei a lot. Characters are, what do you say, moe? Easy on the eyes, nice to look at. Close to the pinnacle of what 2D can offer. You catch my drift.

- Enjoyment -
When I finished the seventh volume, I was pretty surprised about how it was actually a ride I didn't regret taking. To not give spoilers, I couldn't talk about plenty of other reasons which prevented me from giving this a higher score, but if you become mentally prepared for characters acting spoiled from time to time, the flaws can be glossed over.

Overall, I can guarantee that you will enjoy reading this novel, despite it having many flaws and bad execution. I apologise if the review has become a wall of text after some point, I'm not used to writing them. ^^ Would I recommend KonoSuba? Yes, actually. Don't let the 7 rating bother you and go for it if you want to enjoy a nice fantasy comedy.
