Daily life sucks, rest of it is good.

This daily life bullshit sucks. Sylphy arc sucks, most of magic uni sucks, by the way this is like 10 worth of content too, and it's all terrible... But intro arc + return arc + labyrinth arc etc... pretty much all the arcs where the story moves forward are great. Read this. It's good. Lot's of sorcery and swordplay, monsters, items too. MC is over-powered which is always great, but he's up against absolute monsters so there's still tension. recommended.

No good MC

by rhin33

Rating: 6.0 / 10.0

What can I say? I am sucker for the fantasy setting! However MT is leaving me with mix opinions. On one hand we have quite decent build up of the characters, nice twists and action. On the other hand we have... Rudi... Yes! The main character is the main problem of the story. If it wasn`t for his hypocrisy, gross behavior and "modest" evaluation of oneself I would have enjoyed the novel much better.
(If there is something he have done wrong or is supposed to be reprimated for he instantly forget that he is 40 yo creepy otaku and act like 10 yo baby >> )
There were countless times I was about to punch the monitor. Rudi is no good human being. No matter before or after reincarnation.

The other major problem with the series is the polygamy. I don`t mind to certain extend however after volume 10 the action significantly drops and we are introduced to the "ultimate ending in eroge game" like in every chapter for a couple of volumes -.-

If it sticks with the adventure aspect the series is perfect.

Mary Sue Warning

by Kagrath

Rating: N/A

While the premise is very interesting the writing and MC are not. Basically, a pedophile otaku in reborn into another world when he dies and becomes the most passive bad-ass in existence. He reaches maximum power by the time he's 6 and spends the next 10 years (where I stopped reading) doing jack shit in terms of growth. The characters are one dimensional stereotypes, story progresses in a predictable pattern and the MC fondles children.

Move on, don't waste your time.

WARNING : This Series Mushoku Tensei - Isekai Ittara Honki Dasu or The Story Of Rudeus is just a Side Story.So don't get too attached Rudeus(Main Character) or any other character because the main Series will take place after 100 years later and the Main Protagonist will like be Rudeus descendants or Akihito (Akihito is the Tall Guy That is having a Love quarrel in Chapter-1 page-6 In Manga).Personal I think it should be Rudeus descendants.

dropping in quality

Rating: N/A

start good, but lately, maybe run out of idea, after using time loop/future thing/etc , story starting to not so good, because if the story move in bad direction, the author can use time thingy then restart the plot, if so, it's useless to read long story.

Dissapointing eroge novel (warning spoilers)

by h3r01c
11 years ago

Rating: 2.0 / 10.0

It's strange how so many people love this novel and how many people hate it. Anyways since enough people praise this novel here's the problems I have with it. I have read 170 chapters and really had to wonder why I'd bother.

Incest and harems

The 1st person he sleeps with is his cousin Eris Boreas Greyrat, he is physically 12 and mentally he is 46 at that time while she is 15. The author later reveals a volume later that 15 is considered the age of an adult in his world. The reason she sleeps with him and she requests it, is because she nearly sees him die and because she wants to go on a training journey due to the fact that she failed to protect him. Its in chapter 63 in case you want to check.

Problem I have with this issue is how all the female characters love the mc due to how inferior they feel and due to the terrible circumstances they face. Eris is a spoiled child who takes after her grandfather and while she meets the mc when she is 10 and lives and travels with the mc for 5 years, she is told and forced by her mother to sleep with the mc almost when she is 12 because apparently no one else will possibility marry her. After coming back home despite being missing for 2 years, her own father is trying to marry her off to gain political power which results in her giving her virginity to the mc and running off to train to become someone who can protect the mc. She is a violent oujou sama with a big bust in case anyone wants to know how the mc classifies her.

Sylphiette is a childhood friend who's a mixed race who is befriended, and taught by the mc. She basically develops a childhood crush and marries him and stays married despite the fact that he will marry 2 other women. She is teased due to her hair when he rescues her. She fulfills the loyal childhood friend stereotype.

Lastly, the last wife is roxy who is in her 40s and taught the mc magic. He catches her masturbating in the 1st volume and steals one of her unwashed panties to remember her by. She falls in love when the mc rescues her in a labyrinth but she doesn't have any experience in male relationship because it states somewhere they all treated her like a child or just friends. She fulfills the loli teacher sterotype.

Ok the interference of prophecy, divine influences

In the first few volumes, the "human god hitogami" literally helps the mc do anything important. Befriend the superd when he's teleported to the magical kingdom, where to get his magical eye, ignore the request to save his parents, ect.... It really ruins any tension if a god is your guardian angel in my opinion.

Later on we find out that the human god is using him for his own purposes and the dragon god is a time traveler that's suppose to destroy him. He even meets himself 50 years from the future. This story is too unpredictable, whenever the mc has a problem, a god helps him or some random plot device helps him solve it. Despite the fact that he has one of the highest mana capacities and is good at spells and amazing at magic, he still has to negotiate, or get help from various beings stronger then himself.

The plot and the terrible sexual jokes

After he is dumped by Eris, he has ED (erectional dysfunction). One of the running gags is he worships his sensei Roxy and the holy object, her panties. If you look at volume 10, the whole volume is about him getting married to his 1st wife Sylpie. Keep in mind he will get married 2 more times... The fights that he starts are he wins due to his overwhelming magical abilities and some swordsmen abilities (red stray dragons, various bandits, monsters, students) or he is spared, pleads for his life. (1st time vs the dragon god, saved by human, 2nd time vs the dragon god, demon gods twice).

The more you will read this story the less you can care about the characters unless you pretend to be the main character which is some of the 10 star ratings are doing. In conclusion, don't waste your time, unless you want to pretend to be a gary sue who gets a harem and solves his problems with the interference of divine beings and fate (if you actually read past 150+). The discussion about the plot device seem to make things worse, like the author doesn't know what he is doing with his story anymore and is trying to stall for time or justify his poor plot.

Way Overrated

by thefistone
11 years ago

Rating: 5.0 / 10.0

The MC is pathetic, like really pathetic. 90% of anything he has accomplished is handed to him. He always has some strong being watching over him, and if he is ever in "real" danger the story deus ex's his safety. They even refer to it in the story as his "strong fate." He is a coward, and for no reason. Even if he was a loser in the real world, he has had 20 years to change. He has been able to make himself work, but not able to overcome his fear of everything. Even weak people are less afraid of things than him. He is not a pacifist, he is a coward.
MC is a pedo. 15 is the age of adulthood in their world, and I have no problem with that. High mortality likely creates a need for a high birthrate. 2 15yos or even in his first case, a 12yo and a 15yo seems reasonable for the setting, but we see him groping and eye raping kids, not teens, kids. Even the setting of a different world does not change this fact, as his body may be of that world but he is not. So all of their traditions and viewpoints don't apply to him. His tendencies may be more acceptable there, but they are what they are.

Minor annoyances : obsession with class based speak (something the world does not seem to use), obsession with rice, worship of panties.

Overall, the setting had the opportunity to be something interesting, but nothing came of it.
Reasons why people seem to rate it highly: wish-fulfillment and lolicons.

Can't understand why it's rated so highly

by laneofmagic

Rating: N/A

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.

Wish fulfilment...

by Jeitron
11 years ago

Rating: 3.0 / 10.0

This is probably the epitome of self insertion wish fulfilment that's very common in other light novel series cough SAO cough where a loser/nobody suddenly becomes OP.

...there I said it, but with that out of the way I thought that this story had some potential since the NEET turning into a shota in a fantasy world seemed funny but it then goes on about him trying to score with a bunch of lolis, which is just creepy(even if he's technically a kid or the world has different adult ages).

Edit @thefistone,
I agree, Rudy is a gary-stu(having way too many conveniences for the sake of the story) and I also find that way too many people defending Rudy and his loli harem, it's just weird..
