This is definitely about to become my guilty pleasure series. The writing isn't great, but that can happen in a lot of light novels due to translation issues, so I'm not too upset. I believe it was also a web novel initially which didn't spark the most confidence, however I'm not disappointed at all. I'm also very glad I picked up the light novel instead of the manga, from what I've heard the adaptation is lacking a lot in character development.

That said, the character development here is just kinda basic. It's about as interesting as you'd think it is for a semi-generic isekai, though I was interested by background characters in this which is a notable change. We don't get to see a lot of the characters other than Naofumi, but the ones we do catch here and there are intriguing to me for some reason. We do definitely have unreliable narrator syndrome, at least I hope we do, considering some descriptions.

All in all, not the perfect series? But fun as hell and something I'm gonna be continuing.

Another Isekai to test out the genre and this was pretty good :) I don't think this type of genre and writing is really my favorite so I don't know how much I want to really get into it but the overall vibe of this book was alright! I can imagine that someone who liked the video game vibe and heroic aspects a bit more would enjoy this more than I did !
