Finished Volume 1
Minecraft Isekai.
Sounds good (?) at first, at least interesting enough to pick up for the novelty but I personally found the concept flawed as the novel progressed. Although the author offers an enjoyable setting as well as a diverse array of demi-human characters for the protagonist to interact with the main feature of the novel simply does not hold up.
The main flaw is this: the main character's abilities are lame and out of place
The reason Minecraft, and so many other survival/sandbox games which this book are based on, are so fun is the creativity, freedom, and sense of accomplishment after finishing a task (at least in my opinion). Now these are all great things but sadly when you think about it these qualities do NOT mesh well with the structured plot and linear story offered by a novel.
The main ability featured in the novel is..... crafting, the staple of every survival game ever. But crafting is frankly an extremely boring process and as the protagonist crafts hundreds of weapons and upgrades his crafting stations the sense of accomplishment I would feel if I were playing a video game is frankly lacking due to the degree of separation.
There exists some mystery and intrigue in discovering the origins of the strange powers the protagonist is given but frankly the major flaw is too glaring an issue.
CONCLUSION: Novel concept but simply doesn't mesh with the written medium as reading about crafting and building is lacking without any visuals to accompany it.
additional note: main character (for no good reason) has sex and a relationship with the first character he meets within (literally) 3 days of being isekai'd (and he didn't even meet her until day 2) which is just.......
