Seriously, I've seen plenty of manga adaptations out there that are crap and I honestly can't say for sure that it's not the original novel that's at fault since I haven't read it, but this is just horrible. If the novel author is the one that wrote it like this from the start, he should quit trying since my cat could put together a more interesting story by walking on my keyboard.

I feel like this story could've been somewhat interesting if not for how it appears to jump all over the place. The way it's put together is reminiscent of western cartoons such as the simpsons or family guy, only that those can actually be fun and well thought out. What I mean by that is that the story is disjointed with the characters switching location all the time and nothing is really explained, there's no story progression to speak of.

This is why it feels like the manga adaptation just jumps over every part the manga artist didn't feel was interesting. It feels like a half-assed summary of a story. At one moment, we're at one place, at another we're in another place. All combat scenes are completely skipped just like everything else seems to be. Nothing even remotely seems to make sense. When enters combat, he goes "Dude, I picked up a few tricks at the magic school or whatever that you readers never even got to hear of me checking out, so now I have these abilities" when he uses a new ability. Similar with all characters, not a single of them have any real introduction or story to them. This takes 1D characters to another level.

What happens when you have no story progression, no character backstory, no reasoning behind actions, no leading us readers through the important events so we know what happened, instead just saying "it happened" in 1 sentence? No attachment to the characters is what happens. No care about his actions or the story, readers feeling lost and lacking emotional response to everything. If you don't even get readers to feel like they're part of the journey, you might as well quit being an author, no one wants to read a story like that.

Also, add on to that the rapid sex scenes that comes out of nowher with zero build up and the various rape, molestation and snuff/murder "future sights", I can't help but feel that this author is just a pathetic overgrown baby pretending to be an adult while actually being eternally in his mid teens in maturity, experience or taste. Rather, I would've been ashamed of being placed at the same level as this author when I was at my mid teens, so maybe that's not fair. Someone like this reeks of a person with chuunibyou. They think these things are cool and abuse the ideas. Magic eyes, future sight, being abandoned by a goddess only to be picked up by another for their "moral character"(lol), revenge tripping, sex, saving girls from a supposed future rape or snuff scene... Seriously. Not saying it can't be cool if done correctly but this is just pathetic, everything is thrown out there with little to no thought and literally zero build up, and I really mean literally. There's nothing leading up to anything since there's no story progression or build up, they're just thrown around to different places, times of day, dates and scenes. It's crazy how there's zero story in something that's supposed to be story heavy. Funny how characters also just suddenly pop up and even though they should be important it makes no sense when they come and they're written like bystander A or B, none of their actions make sense.

Whoever made this crap deserves a kick and wake up call.

I'll still read it though because it's a quick read with how little story and text there is, I'm not picky when it comes to wasting some time, at least not for something that can be read so quickly. For novels I'm way pickier since that'll actually truly waste my time and mental energy compared to a short manga. Honestly, if you don't expect anything you can somehow laugh at how stupid it is, so it's not a complete waste of time to read.

One last thing... I really question the author's obsession with rape. It hardly passes even a chapter without a character getting raped and/or tortured, or even killed in the process, be it future vision that won't happen, memory or reality. The protagonist gets visions of those around him, often his teammates, getting raped or molested and some characters(not main stays, of course) get raped for real and and there's a lot of drama about it. Seems that the author has a severe rape fetish or simply doesn't know any other way to make characters experience drama or trauma. Geez. I mean, I've seen "rape happy" writers before that overdo it, but this is just incredible with how it happens pretty much every chapter. Even more ridiculous is how the rape stuff completely lacks substance, it doesn't even matter in any way, so what's the point?

I've read a lot of isekai and I don't mind the crappy ones at all. Before I started reading I thought that this was simply going to be a generic read, but that was perfectly fine with me: I could still enjoy a story with several flaws as long as it brought something to the table. However, this manga was a different variety of crap than I was expecting: the story was incoherent to the point of shocking me.

Often I will put stories on hold because they just lose my interest over time. This story was unusually bad in the sense that it was one of the few I have ever read that were so pathetic in every facet that I regret reading it. The plot is very bad (not that I ever mind that much), but the problem with this substandard garbage manga is much deeper and more fundamental. The author does not know how to create characters whatsoever. They do not know how to write a story whatsoever. I would even place more faith in a middle school student to craft a more intriguing and complex story. Rather than reading this story anyone could daydream an equal or better story on their own, with little to no thought, in 15 minutes.

The most critical problem with this story is the characters. Some appear in the stupidest ways and then disappear suddenly as if the author forgot that they introduced them. There is no meaning to their existence and some of them are really off-putting.

Other than an interesting start and the fighting among the gods which also sounds interesting the rest is very base.
It feels like the mangaka is just skipping content to speed things up and there are simply too much dumbness in the air and too many contradictions, for example, a Goddess says that they (the Gods) shall not interfere with another god's hero and 1 chapter later what does the goddess who said that do? You guess it, interfere. Woman fall from the sky in both the figuratively and literal sense, they immediately fall for the MC and often try to make passes on him out of the blue. Sex related things are equally cheap, those women just throw themselves into the MC's bed just as cheaply, this includes Goddesses. On the other hand, men seem to exist only to be the bad guy of the day and be beaten/killed or to act subserviently to the MC for no reason. Add to that a dumb obsession with wooden logs, of course it's just an euphemism and you can get an idead of the childish view of the authors on love and sexual relations.
The sense of morality is equally cheap, if you think about it, at the start. Avel (the hero) was not in the wrong, he broke the finger of someone who insulted him and kept doing so even when asked to stop, the one in the wrong is the MC's lackey. Then he punches the MC when the MC peers into Avel's status without asking for permission, again, the MC is in the wrong and Avel actually stops and doesn't abuse of his strength in any of the two situations yet this little episode leaves the MC full of resentment towards Abel. Again this shows the author's childish social perception, "you (slightly) bullied me once (and I deserved it), I swear I'll have my revenge! I'll kill you!" is what he seems to be screaming, maybe something in the author's personal history? School bullies maybe? In truth, the MC takes revenge on Abel because he can't take revenge on the Goddess, he's a pitiable proxy and the MC is petty.
Lastly, the author just invents crap out of nowhere when needed (most often new skills) and to justify it he just uses 1 panel like a flashback "Oh I learned this skill in ---" it's even worse than Ex Machina justifications.
So yeah, base, cheap and dumb exposition of the authors puerile fantasies. Not worth it.

Slow pace and mediocre story leads to a very forgettable read.
