Too many overused character types.

Too many overused character types for me to be able to take the story seriously. The airheaded somehow popular girl, side characters that are douche bags for no reason whatsoever, and it gets even more irritating from there.

Very bad execution

It started well and then it went downhill. The change in MCs character is poorly done - I dont see the link between the timid, kind boy at the beginning and the cold anti-hero afterwords. I believe that after the change any worth in the story was completely corrupted.

So much potential in the beginning, but then...

by CorpseGamer

Rating: N/A

This really did feel like it was going somewhere.

A tragic story about a weak MC becoming OP and getting revenge while developing a small harem. But he became a Mary Sue, the though processes of the characters became way to convenient (i.e. ! him killing a student in front of his teacher so his teacher does not feel guilt but the teacher somehow realizes this thought process which was the exact point that I dropped this story). I wouldn't recommend reading this unless you are into the deviant art class story telling. If you want a familiar story, there is something called Suterurareta Yuusha no Eiyuutan which has the same ideas of a weak hero becoming strong, revenge, and harem building which so far (Volume 3) has been decent enough to keep my interest. It is better than what happened to this novel.

Another cliche story turns to be piece of garbage

by ryanovsky
10 years ago

Rating: 3.0 / 10.0

Whole novel is just a lame rip-off. And it is even more cliche and shallow than 95% of other "transportation/revival" LN/WN.
I don't want to be unfounded, let's just look at the beginning and what do we have here?

Bullied otaku MC - check
jerks in class - check
most beautiful girl in class/school who is madly in love with our wuss MC (NO WAY!) - check
transportation and so-called "heroes" - check
useless MC is still useless in "after-life" - check
jerks betraying our useless, bullied, ugly MC - check

And so on and soooo on...
But still it was a nice read, really I had goosebumps when i finished 1st volume. And theeen... But before that let's summarize the story. We've got bullied MC and his class teleported to alternate world to be heroes. Everyone is given a cheat but of course - not our MC. He struggles but he is likeable. Random jerks bullying him there and there and our MC is supposed to die after betrayal of who? Yes! You got it right - JERKS! Then our otaku instead of being dead is now stronger than 99% people in this world. Only gods (IIRC) are stronger.
One word - CLICHE. Poorly written and so godamn cliche but for me it is still 8.5/10 as I Finish 1st volume and read half of the 2nd.

And then it just turns into pile of garbage. We have the beggining of so damn loveable harem, which of course is? CLICHE.

We start of with? - YES! AGAIN, YOU GOT IR RIGHT! - A FRIGGIN LOLI
Buuuut nooo, pedophilia is bad, so let's make our loli to be few hundreds years old but just "trapped" in child's body so court cannot sue us! GREAT IDEA AUTHOR, let's drink some more sake and let's finish 2nd volume fast, before we sober up. Cheers!

^ I really think it looked like that ^.

But you know what is the best? It is seriously interesting. We have a nice set of abilities and battles are dynamic. (we got some bull**** stuff like guns but let's avoid this topic as the whole story is bs)

Then we finish 2nd volume. As I said: it is where survival/revenge type of novel turns into very, VERY cheap shoujou. And yet it is readable and more or less interesting. But guess what, another member of harem is coming - and this is where I lost all my interest:

2nd member of our harem is? TUDUM TUDUM TUDUM -> Beautiful, busty, stupid, rabbit girl. Yea, C...- what?. I've read a lot of mangas/animes/novel involving harem so why do I suddenly lost interest in this so-far interesting story? Our adventure novel is turning rapidly into a godamn cheap romcom. We only lack a childhood friend :/ Sadly our MC is otaku and he doesn't have any friends 🙁
Rabbit girl and her stupidity is so plain and annoying. It just makes me nauseous as I recall 3rd volume.

Next we get another members of our so damn loveable harem:

S&M Girl
another loli but without this BS "adult in child's body"
klutz teacher
most beautiful girl in class

Let's add to this our jerks-heroes who are so godamn shallow and made just TO BE shallow - their point of existence is simple - just annoy the readers, so they can hate you and love our "glorious main character"

I suggest avoiding this - there are a lot of more interesting novels which are not written by 15 y.o. child going through puberty or bullied, virgin guy in his 30's who made Arifureta just to fulfill his perverted dreams.

3/10
Sorry for mistakes. My english is as bad as this author's writing skills 😛

A "Chuunibyou's" fantasy.

by blakraven66

Rating: 2.0 / 10.0

Started off well enough with a bit of gamer stat screens as a cheap way for readers to keep track of character progress, but practically went downhill when the author decided to blitz through the main character's development to get to the "cool" stuff as fast as possible.

MC changes drastically from an average "bullied loser" to a "Cynical, Tan-skinned, Silver-haired, Gun-slinging Bad-Ass Demi-human Cyborg"(wow that's a mouthful) whose very presence gets women all hot and bothered; and pawns everyone with stats thousands of times greater than the supposed "chosen one".

The first arc was pretty good, it went downhill after that. Congrats Chuuni Suki, for ruining your own chance to break into the big boys club. Just call it quit, plan another title, and make sure, you actually build a structure before you actually write...

A great fanfiction for daydreamer brats out there.

by DarkFalzLoser

Rating: N/A

The MC, Hajime is an average otaku without any outstanding trait. One day, he and his class got snatched into a fantasyland of swords and magic as chosen heroes to combat an army of demons.

Now here's some aspects that made me completely loathe this series :

- Romance scenes are so poorly done as if written by a 10-years old brat.

Author ripped off several concepts from other series, and i'm pretty sure it's not a mere reference.

Utterly ridiculous power growth of Hajime.

Harem members are garbage-quality.

Hajime's overpoweredness and terrible characterization made other OP chars such as Shiba Tatsuya looked like a well-written character.

If you're male and not Hajime then you're nothing more than a garbage dumpster.

Major villain is just to remind us how awesome our lord and savior.

Don't misunderstand me. I love series featuring OP mains and harem but this one is just terrible and horrendous.

Moron author

Rating: N/A

This type of story is a clear ripoff of many other light novels and manga, especially witch hunt(manga) and monogatari series(light novel), But I'm a sucker for stories where the MP changes his point of view on life and becomes realistic and cruel at the same time. So i somehow ignored the warnings around here thinking it may be ok. Guess what, it was .. i still feel like puking. This crap shouldn't have existed in the first place. There were some parts of the story that I enjoyed, and some characters that I accepted because of their power, not because their freaking personality the author made them to have. But at some point everything goes down the drain. In the end the biggest illusion this author has is to become a popular person and girls will flock around him even if he remain loyal to one girl that accepts the fact so many girl try to fuck him. So, please, do yourself a favor and do not start reading this shit.

The story had potential once, but it squandered it

by Icura

Rating: 3.0 / 10.0

This started out well enough, even if the protagonist became incredibly overpowered very quickly. Still, I enjoyed the first arc. After that, I could barely stand to read it when the protagonist who was a victim of bullies became a bully himself. It just gets worse from there.

Lame and Rotten

Rating: 1.0 / 10.0

Good start, first 3-7 chapters huge potential but sadly from there on it's a HUGE downfall personally for me and from what i heard from other readers it does not get any better infact it goes even more into the deep pit hole

MC is seriously a piss off, i find it very hard to sympathies with him and all the rest are just your typical fill in character who have been 200% shonen cliched with their over the top Villain(ess)

Don't bother reading this Cr*p
