It's basically skimming, the manga.
Read it fast or read it slow, your experience won't change. The plot has some neat concept, but in execution nothing feels special. The heroine is the heroine, the side characters stay on the side, and the protagonist(s) is still OP. There is barely any moment where I feel ecstasy from the action or drama.
There are some intense trainings implied for the protagonist, but it was just implied. He did them all effortlessly and it never took a toll on him or anything like that. A shame really, since the protagonist being Classless is treated like it's a big
...
disadvantage, but in practice he effortlessly mastered both sword and magic without ever being challenged.
A bit irrelevant, but the heroine also just kinda got yamcha'd into a wife despite being treated as important by the start story.
The sisters are somewhat unique, but so far, they kinda just disappear after their arcs are over and their arcs also ended in unsatisfying manners.
Characters are designed well enough to be distinct, but not distinct enough to be iconic. The kids from magic academy especially suffer from this.
Overall, it's a decent-at-best manga.

A somewhat wholesome, light-hearted version of tentacle hentai. Fun little story, clean art, and neat character design.
Main tags: Tentacle, Knight, Consensual Sex, one-on-one sex.
Contains:
* Nice position variety and tentacle types.
* Clean-looking tentacle, instead of grotesque.
* Well-designed main characters.
* "Fast, but not sudden" sort-of pacing.
* 20 pages.
...
So, a straightforward and easy to digest plot then. Will likely disappoint those looking for more extreme stuffs, but it's still an enjoyable experience for all. I highly recommend.
The ending is also neat, a nice open-ended To Be Continued sorta deal.
Overall, 9/10. Recommended for those looking for some short, light-hearted tentacle fun.

I believe that there are two ways to set an expectation for a series, the title and the early chapters/episodes. If you're coming here due to the title, then you're in a bad place.
The title might make it seems like you're gonna see from the POV of a nobody surrounded by OP Isekai-ers but it's the exact opposite right from chapter 1, and it keeps playing that joke completely straight in a way that never really grab me. From around chapter 1-14, the three Isekai heroes are nothing more than screechers screeching about how amazing and dumb the protagonist is with different flavor. Kirito, Glasses,
...
and Girl.
I'm not really expecting them to be completely fleshed out from just a few chapters, but I'm also hoping that I won't be annoyed by their theatrics in a grating and unfunny comedy that I can't even find endearing because of how many repetitions there has been, and how much more there are to come every time I flip the next page.
Still, I believe there is a lot to praise about the manga in a technical term. Very clear and distinct art style and character design, communicating the actions in such a clean manner that I always take for granted for a long time. It reminded me a bit of Fairy Tail and One Piece a bit in that aspect, both in a very positive manner. However, whatever appreciation I have is heavily overshadowed by the feeling of betrayal between the contrast of title and content along with the grating nature of its comedy and story.
...at least, it will be that negative until I reach chapter 15.
I haven't finished the arc yet, but chapter 15 actually give some good character moments for Glasses. Heck, the story even deliver some funny jokes here and there, something I would've thought is impossible until that point. I don't know if this is just a stockholm syndrome where my expectation got so low that anything mediocre will satisfy me, but it did the thing that I thought it would never happen to a bad story with OP protagonist. It improved.
I still don't think it's worth spending your time and money yet, I still believe that 3/4 chapters I've read is bad but wait for a while and check for more reviews or comments and it might be one of those "excellent classics with slow start" that internet randos would recommend constantly.

"Succubus in Love's Erotic Situation" is a lighthearted ecchi manga starring two succubus competing to marry their human older step brother (who is a JAV actor) by making each other cum. If that sounds appealing to you, I recommend this. If not, then it's not for you. You won't find anything deep in the story, but you won't find anything grating either. It knows exactly what it is and it delivers it well.
The art is good, expressions are clean and clear during normal moment and hit just the right spot during erotic moments, and there's a decent amount of variety of plays to keep things
...
from getting stale.
The characters look pretty but they can feel generic at times. Their shenanigans never get so bad to the point of being annoying either.
Overall, 8/10. If you like what you're reading you should read it. If you're expecting some cinematic hidden gem in a hentai-lite, this is not it.

If you like one of those arts about fantasy and monster houses, I recommend this. If you don't, I'll say try reading volume 1 and stop there.
The art is clean and pretty, and the monster houses are detailed complete with good explanations. Characters look nice and distinct.
My problem is (at least for me personally), once the uniqueness of being a fantasy architect manga wears off, the charm stops.
I'm sure the human protagonist would get her happy ending but right now I don't see much to find interesting since its traumatic pasts are pretty much.
The dwarves will probably show more characters later on, but so
...
far they feel more like a group of one entity rather than three unique individuals.
The monster houses after Volume 1 are still neat and is in no way inferior to the Goblin House, it's just that I'm not that interested about them anymore. The processes are near effortless and there's no character conflict or drama I'm interested in.
Overall, rather than a straightforward "this manga is bad", it's just not for me.

Have you ever read a genderbend hentai? In them, every act that are considered normal in other H are given a whole new perspective and treated as somewhat foreign and alien, thus giving these simple actions a ton of focus. After all, a dude may know how to make a girl feel good, but they can never understand how a female body really feel, much less the pleasure of being in one.
The manga is pretty much like that.
Our protagonist, Kumika, is an alien that doesn't need to eat. Because of that, the simple acts chewing, swallowing, or even any recreational activities like hanging out together
...
in a cafe and restaurant are written as something special throughout the whole series and the art and writing support it very well.
The foods look nice and tasty. The lining is thick enough that the details pop out, but not so thick that it overshadows everything else.
The characters are also very comfy. Unique, but not so "unique" that they become annoying and creepy (which is not the kind of vibe I'd personally want in this kind of manga). Easily distinguishable from one another and have enough personality to become a proper character and not be confused as background charas.
There are some dramas but not much, good for this kind of manga.
Overall, an easy recommendation for anyone that want a comfortable experience from start to finish and/or want a food manga.

Solid historical manga sets during the Hundred Years War between England and France. Recommended for people that like history or even just action manga in general, because there are a lot to love about this manga, such as:
Great art. Armor looks solid, poses feel strong, and arrow feels heavy, perfect for highlighting the longbow and crossbow's power. The expressions are also very dynamic and attention-grabbing, making it easy to fully digest.
Interesting characters in both sides. While some side characters are kinda shallow, those who do get some focus like Hawkwood and Edward (prince of Wales) are very enjoyable.
Excellent pacing fom start to finish. I never
...
felt like an arc or character overstay its welcome. They also come with their own gimmicks, which make them feel refreshing.
The only critics I have are probably just some historical nitpicks (which don't bother me that much tbh), and the ending feels a bit abrupt. In other words, "give me a sequel already!" is my feeling finishing it.

A short and fun series that accomplish all it sets out to do, complete with interesting protagonists, cute artstyle, and some neat twist here and there. The misunderstanding commonly seen in a romance is also enjoyable here, instead of the hair-tearing artificial frustration to prolonged the series.
The problem is, since the manga is so short, many side characters just kinda stay flat. The artstyle also, while cute, isn't exactly something I'd call amazing.
If you want something fluffy to read without wasting weeks or even months of your life just to reach the ending, then this manga is for you.

As a story, The Ravages of Time has greatly succeeded at three things:
1. Make a strategist-type character without making the rest of the casts seem like a complete buffoon.
2. Create a world where characters are allowed to lie and deceit each other, naturally causing a complex world
3. Keeping the moment-to-moment story stay interesting without a drastic downtime between every climaxes.
To explain:
1. Make a strategist-type character without making the rest of the casts seem like a complete buffoon.
This is something that plenty of war stories, even a widely beloved classic like Legend
...
of the Galactic Heroes, seem like they can't help but fall into, where the story has a clear-cut line separating the casts between competent people that actually know what they're doing, therefore labelled as strategist vs the other commanders, whose only tactic is to charge over and over again and fall for what's clearly a trap. I get that someone needs to lose so that the strategist can show off their brilliance, but if you're hoping this other commander to actually become an intimidating presence your protagonist needs to watch out for, then you have a big problem, because at some point you need to sit down and think about how many men did he lost for nothing and why he's still given a command of an entire army despite of that.
2. Create a world where characters are allowed to lie and deceit each other, naturally causing a complex world
Now, why is it so great that characters can lie at one another? Well, lies don't come from nothing. There is an intention behind it, a motivation to do or get something, and no matter what that thing is it can cause a conflict, and conflict by nature can create an interesting story. As an adaptation of the Three Kingdoms, TRoT is a political story where every major casts are trying to not just survive but thrive on the chaos that ravage the land, each with their own goals and ambition, including but not limited to: killing all your brothers to become the sole inheritor of your father's land; saving the child emperor and rescue the crumbling Han dynasty from its seemingly inevitable collapse; and massacring villages and cities and end the ongoing chaos with a swift and brutal conquest.
3. Keeping the moment-to-moment story stay interesting without a drastic downtime between every climaxes.
Something that many stories almost can't help but fail at at least once or twice is keeping the moment-to-moment events to stay engaging without a huge down time between each climax, which I often feel keep happening in war stories because there's a need to build up too much exposition so that the next battles are set up properly, especially when the enemy is a completely new cast of characters. The Ravages of Time solve this by relying on two things behind-the-scenes politic and multiple main casts. By using behind-the-scenes politic, TRoT has basically created a 24/7 conflict that allow players from all levels of status and profession to fight one another through words, coercion, and small-scale violence, resulting an endless conflict that progress naturally to the decisive battle that serve as one of the climaxes amongst many others we'll see until the story ends. Meanwhile, multiple main casts allow the story to flow naturally between each event, very beneficial especially around after chapter 30 where the line between friends and starts to blur.
Overall, easy 9/10 at least. I believe that this series will be one of the big classic people will remember in the future, an excellent example of a huge and complex story.

This is gonna be a First Impression
On one hand, so far, it's an utterly average-at-best manga where there's no truly interesting characters or plot that really hook you. The main plot, which is being an Isekai protag with [Walking] skill that wants to explore the world, sounds pretty interesting in concept but the way they presented it feel more annoying than charming, like the kind of thing a brat would scream out repeatedly for a whole day only to forgot about it only a few days after. Not to say the series forgot about it (it's only three chapters after all), it's just that kind
...
of annoying, loud like an empty trash can, no real substance about it.
On the other hand, it's nice to see an isekai protagonist being positive in life for once instead of being bitter about betrayal (which isn't really wrong with that kind of set up, but it's just not that refreshing anymore). Since the protagonist is deemed too weak to fight the demon king, he escapes the king's force conscription and can instead explore the new world as he saw fit. Especially since his leveling system is pretty busted (he can level up just by walking), he can just go around and do the stuffs he wants for free, which can not only allow the story to focus more on worldbuilding instead of villains and characters interaction. I still want them, yeah, but I also want something refreshing with a stronger focus on something specific instead of something vague and spread out
TL;DR Overall, I have some doubt, but I also have some expectation. Just remember to keep those expectation low.
