Preliminary (46/? chp)
Based off all 3 currently released LN's

God Gamer who finds modern games too easy gets isekai'd to a typical fantasy world in which people have "Talents" which are basically just classes (swordsman, mage, etc.) that determine the growth ceiling of that person. BUT unlike everyone else, the MC has a completely unique class and is stuck in Hell Mode, which means it takes him 100x more experience to level up than everyone else.

The concepts present in the novel are fairly cliché but are executed well and the majority of the enjoyment comes from the MC slowly learning about the world he's in and how his class works through experimentation. The MC isn't immediately "OP" and the slow yet steady growth of the MC is by far the most outstanding part of the novel.

HOWEVER, this novel suffers from the same issue a lot of similar novels face in that outside of the protagonist few characters have time in the spotlight and while effort is clearly put into the setting, the worldbuilding definitely suffers from lack of focus on it.

The storytelling rarely shifts from the MC's point of view and many of the other characters feel very empty but the inner commentary of the MC is sufficiently entertaining enough to keep the bland characters from dragging the story down.

Story: 8, an enjoyable adaptation on a formula that has been shown to work
Art: 5, a few inserts which are mediocre
Character: 8 (MC) 5 (Everyone else)
Enjoyment: 8

CONCLUSION: A good read for people who enjoyed the beginning of Mushoku Tensei where Rudy was learning about magic and slowly growing his skills.

DISCLAIMER: Novel largely falls off after Volume 2 because the growth faze is over and the aforementioned weaknesses come back to haunt the LN.
