I usually never read harem novels and so but this NL didn't disappoint me .

The MC Rudeus is quite consistent , he doesn't go from being a neet to an adonis,(the author writes it is a more or less "natural" way).Even though he is famous for being strong and having performed some feats ,his friends consist of people with similar tastes or acquaintances he gradually gets to know better .

The story has a hard magic system and explores the whole world with their different costumes it isn't perfect but it is the most deep and complete exploration of a fantasy world with just one character (you don't need extra explanations for anything that happens). For example "Toaru Majutsu no Index" or the "Ender" books use loads of novels to explain / explore the world and you must read some to get a complete understanding.

Almost all this harems' feelings are created slowly as a combination of being together for a prolonged time ,teacher/student bonds....and a other normal normal and plausible reasons. BUT the after Roxy the relationships get a bit rushed.

It is a bit disappointing how the author tries to convince himself and the readers that the harem was an option, it is just an excuse to take out his internal struggle and change it for some corny scenes (I recommend you skipping them).He isn't going to die for breaking up with his GF .

spoiler about the school arc and why the harem is created:

I quite liked the ending it isn't your typical MC turns into a god or an ass pull power-up to bend fate with the MC giving a moral lecture the the villain. Like slime or Re:monster....

The prologue reminds me of parasyte Kiseijuu last fight

Real rating: 6.6/10

Simply put this can be said to be the story of a perverted, worthless member of society getting reborn into another world and slowly becomes a better person. This doesn't happen immediately after he reincarnates either but he does eventually become less of a piece of trash and more a genuine character.

I think a good thing to mention with this story is that the story is as mature as the main character is in his new life. When the MC is a child its a childlike and barely adult themed besides the MC staying to his old perverted ways(which he never brakes off) he or being bound by his old life still. But by the time the MC is an adult the story and plot are serious and can get dark. Don't expect the story to be big and grand in the first immediate volumes, this is a slow but steady ride throughout the story.

The harem is also done pretty well compared to most harems I have read, and the romances actually go somewhere throughout the story. I will admit sometimes the romances can feel a bit off but compared to other novels to me its a breath of fresh air.

The biggest downsides I can see for this story is that its slow and not action pact immediately, there is remarkable amount of hidden incest (2 cases) that arent mentioned so I thought I would, and I did notice that this story tries to make the world not that safe, but due to the MCs experiences we never end up believing it due to him never running into these dark elements. Another downside is because most people rate this a 9/10, including me, people assume this is something that tailors to their taste as well. Dont assume you will like a story just because a large amount of people do.

And one last comment, the MC isn't more OP than everyone else. He is strong for his age yes and he is OP for a normal person due to reasons stated in the story but most of the entire later part of the story we see the MC face people who could literally kill him in a minute if Rudy didn't prepare for months on end. Just because the MC is strong doesn't remove the tension from any of the fights and his powers barely put him on equal grounds with his opponents

The protagonist is an absolute useless, scheming, perverted trash. The plot seemed rushed af. Half the characters are plain terrible. All in all, there are much better isekais out there, with less ratings than this series.

Condensed 1st Paragraph of the Novel


The MC is a self-inserted, perverted PoS that defies logic in why he was resurrected. Ignoring that glaring issue (and his obliviousness to why his brother reacted that way), the novel itself reads like a bad fan-fiction with the plot bouncing randomly in one direction and then another. Ironically, I persevered with the expectation of upcoming grandeur because surely all these "masterpiece" reviews weren't a mistake. I dropped it halfway and haven't looked back.

At first this novel was great, probably one of the best novels I've read at the time but the MC just ruined this for me.

Just when you think he actually grows as a person and learns something, he regresses and makes the same stupid decisions. I mean, I get it (it's supposed to portray how human he is by all the mistakes his made and how he grows from them) but common author what's up with the inconsistencies in his character. One moment he establishes himself as this reliable character and the next he's back to his old habits.You'll be reading the novel and you're gonna be asking yourself "nobody who's gone through so much can be this stupid right?" well...

The genre of people being transported to another word with some "cheat" seems to be popular nowdays, if I had to select one that do it right (from the recent ones) I would choose MT. The author goes great lenghts just to prove how much the story (not the world itself) is based around Rudeus and his devolment as a person. Having said that I still have my pros and cons for the story:


Even so I recommend it, It's a nice read, and stands better than the rest of the genre.

It had a really interesting premise. There was world building, decent-to-okay magic system and the plot was solid in the earlier parts but there were so many holes. Plot holes upon holes upon holes! I think halfway through or maybe about a third way in the author was pandering to the sounds of money rushing in.

I was expecting a more mature way of addressing the problems the MC was facing each time, with mapped out solutions that we can follow through and get the readers excited about but more often than not we get insta-answers were written. -_- WHAM BAM! Problem solved! Not even disguising how incredibly lazy some resolutions were! It was so irritating to see what could have made a great character development to a mediocre good-guy-always-wins MC trope. It was such a let down.

Seriously. This was one of the VERY, VERY few harem light novels that I could actually swallow. (Maybe only 4?) I hate everything harem especially when it's just there to feed the fantasies of frustrated, horny teenagers and fool everyone else into thinking it's popular because of its writing. Hell no. I wanted to quit at 60% and was procrastinating reading it. I had to set up a reading schedule just so I can say "I finished it! I finished it so I can make an honest, decent review about it!"

I'm giving this a 5.5 or maybe a 6. I don't know. I hated how the harem grew so quickly and so, SO illogically. Oh? MC thinks that girl is pretty, too? They shared something that he didn't share with the other(s)? That's okay! I'll have them in my harem! Why not! I've been lonely for so long and girls have shunned me left and right I'm sure my readers will agree that women are quite agreeable with multiple partners because..you know. I'm OP and all that.

But I'm giving it a 6.5 stars because all though there was b*llsh*ttery everywhere I enjoyed some parts and was surprised at the plot twists. So yes. There a 6.5.

How do I spoiler?

If you don't read up to the part of the story where the unexpected happens, don't complain with "don't get the hype". In the end, the mc gets strong, but, he is still super weak compared to his godlike opponents/allies, so the story has to compensate, and it does.

My rating is as follows:
Romance: 7
Action: 7
Characters: 7

Taken by its parts, this story sucks. It is when taken as a whole that it shines.

Frankly I was pretty excited to read this series when I first heard about it, since I had seen it recommended quite a few times and most of the reviews were positively glowing. However I have to say I just don't understand what everyone sees in this story. It's not very exciting, suspenseful, romantic or even well written. In fact I suspect that this story only got popular because it's pretty much the epitome of wish-fulfillment. I mean our main character is basically the best ever at magic, has multiple people mentioning how brilliant he is all the time and of course charms his harem with only some minor hiccups along the way.

Now you might think I completely hate this story but it's not all bad. Even though the story isn't very well written it does flow pretty good at least, very few times was I bored or just wishing for the author to move things along. There's also moments with the side characters where you can see that they're slightly deeper than you thought they were, though ultimately not by much.

This series is alright if you just wanna read about the main character getting stupid powerful, boning chicks and I guess doing some sorta plot stuff. If you're looking for an engaging story or romance you might be interested after a while but you have to slog through a lot of junk first.

Oh and quick point, the guy who posted the review after me was obviously upset that I negatively reviewed a series he enjoys. He insists that if "you don't get to the plot twist, you can't complain" but here's the thing: I actually DID reach the plot twist. And I still think it sucks. I don't know what people are smoking when they say stuff like "sure each INDIVIDUAL piece sucks but it's good overall", no the whole thing isn't very good, AND each individual part sucks. I sincerely don't know how a plot twist is supposed to redeem multiple books full of bad decisions, I guess some people will think anything is good.
