Good example of Isekai

A more realistic portrayal of what you would see another world and empire to be like than what you'll find in most isekai stories.

The general quality of characters is a full level better than what you would find in most isekai stories. The battles are more plausible, both in their insanity and reasoning. People fight for selfish political reasons in a way that is not over the top. The MC is reasonable in trying to get away while saving others on the way. The characters are realistically afraid of death.

The MC's adaptation process is also very reasonable.

Unfortunately, the story ends somewhat abruptly at the end of Ch 40, but it does end on a well-foreshadowed note. I'm very curious about why it ended! Please DM if you find out.

Enjoy!

Note: This story manga as based on a novel that seems to have quite a lot more in store. See details (in Korean) here:

Pretty good as far as isekai adventure goes

At first I was prepared to be disappointed with the meditation nonsense but the worldbuilding (what little of it there was) is actually pretty solid and didn't leave many questions unanswered. The whole mana/ki thing was satisfactory, although the MC being able to overcome his language barrier in only a matter of weeks seemed a bit ridiculous.

Anyway as far as it goes I think this is a pretty decent isekai adventure story. It's a bit hard for me to rate these kinds of stories, and obviously it's not a masterpiece...I didn't really feel any particularly strong emotions from it and I don't think I learned anything important from reading it either. It's mostly just a "wacky adventures of a guy transported into a medieval fantasy world" kind of story.

From that perspective I can understand why this was dropped. I think maybe if the character relationships were developed a bit further then it could have been a more interesting story. In particular I'm curious to see how far the MC-Yusmina relationship would have gone. I genuinely think there was potential for a more interesting story. As it is it just feels like a teaser.

Quite good

Another isekai but this one starts of focusing in survival and is more coherent and rational than most others in the genre. The MC is no genius, no OP char, has no miraculous luck nor mythical artifact, he doesn't even understand the new worlds language, he's a regular guy trying to survive and slowly building his body with rudimentary cultivation techniques. It takes it time and doesn't rush, for example, it takes his 10 days and 2ch to make a sling and get somewhat proficient with it.
It lost some impact for me when it shifted from a survival oriented plot to one based on humans and their wars, still the MC is tired of living like a monkey in the jungle, which is a justification I can't fault.
Overall, it's one of the best isekai I've read so far but it just started so I'm interested to see how it holds up after 100-200 chapters.
