A very decent manga, but at the same time, it’s nothing more than being decent. I’m going to be honest, coming into this, I didn’t think I would love the story at all despite being a gamer myself; however, it pleasantly surprised me in some areas of the characters, but it also wasn’t very impressionable.
This manga starts off like every isekai manga nowadays where the mc and conflict is revealed through of flashbacks, explaining/skimming through the mc’s powers. I won’t knack this manga too much for that, since it did it in a somewhat simple and fun way by incorporating game-like powers and aspects.
With that being said, I find a massive problem in the plot — it’s simply slow-pacing which equates to boring. The plot isn’t riddled with drama or conflict besides for “one big enemy,” causing a lot of seemingly filler chapters that have a purpose in the preparation and process of the final battle; however, this was also done in a very boring and disinteresting manner, since the only bright spot was the mc’s interactions with the fmc.
There’s nothing fundamentally wrong with the plot, but a lot of the chapters could’ve been cut down and summarized, as most of them seemed unnecessary besides for the shock value humor in the mc’s powers.
Speaking of shock humor, I absolutely detest a certain character with one eye. She just repeats the same thing over and over again for the audience/readers to know how absurd the mc’s powers are. There’s also poor attempts to make her deeper and more emotional, but it was forced onto the plot, adding to the “filler chapters.” As I’m writing this, I’ve realized that a lot of the panels and side characters are only there for some dumb shock value, so that’s not very enjoyable or diverse in the plot.
Coming into this manga, you should expect a similar story and format of a slow-life mangas: A very slow and unfolding plot, emphasis on a lot of tedious characters, and occasional romantic developments. This manga was probably doomed from the start, since I don’t fancy or like the slow-life genre at all due to the lack of conflict, which this had.
You guys know this is just my opinion, right?
