MMan1175

TLDR: Solid B. Generally good but not inventive. Has some inconsistencies in translation and behavior that always favor the mc. Translation quality: Pretty bad. There’s a bunch of gender inconsistencies and repeated content. Update stability: It’s been here a long time and isn’t going away anytime soon. Story development: Inconsistent. Some times the story rewards caution and others it rewards recklessness. However, it always rewards the mc. It seems the author can’t make up their mind. It’s constantly talking about how people have limits and specialties require time and training but then the mc masters everything with minimal effort. Commonly the mc will comment about how he’s not really good at something before demonstrating how good he is at it just a few chapters later. Character design: I love the premise of not being perfect and having specialties, which the author originally emphasized and followed, but then the mc breaks that idea and becomes another overly perfect boring person. World background: Pretty good actually. The enemies generally make sense and act reasonably. There’s no idiot delivering himself and generally the benefits the mc finds have some explanation. However that makes the instances where things go weirdly to give the mc an advantage stand out more.

TLDR: this is a fast forward summary of a story. Translation quality: Generally good enough to know what’s going on but there are the normal inconsistent genders as well as some weird grammatical mistakes. Update stability: Still pretty young but good so far. Character design: In a word absent. The story moves from one opportunity to the next so quickly that the characters feel like empty cutouts. I don’t even have a real impression the mc. Story development: Shallow. There doesn’t seem to be any kind of plan beyond dealing with whatever immediate issue the mc is facing. Nothing lasts more than a half dozen chapters before becoming irrelevant or lightly retconned to be an immediate fix for the next problem. World background: Generic and empty. The lack of planning and consistency makes the world and its rules feel meaningless.

TLDR: a very heavy handed comedy style story. Translation quality: Good. At least in everything I read I never saw any inconsistencies or odd phrases. Update stability: Haven’t read for that long but based off what I see it looks consistent. Story development: One of the key elements is how the mc is able to accurately predict just about everything based off of cliches which is inventive at first but loses luster and becomes repetitive pretty fast. The simple fact is the story follows the cliches and that’s how he’s able to predict things. Character design: I don’t think even the author knows what the mc will do/think of next. He has such wildly different behaviors between chapters that I can’t really tell it’s the same character. World background: To fit in woth the cliches the mc is using to plan out his actions the world feels very generic. There’s nothing note worthy or unique but there’s no glaring issue either.

TLDR: simple characters with a system that makes no sense. Translation Quality: Ok didn’t notice anything wrong beyond the occasional weirdness on units. Update stability: Didn’t read long enough to really judge. Story development: The system makes no sense. The mc avoids a calamity by hiding and gets rewards that have nothing to do with the threat. If it was grading how he avoided the calamity or if the reward was linked to the calamity it would make sense. Character design: In one word: flat. The mc is cautious about everything but then one shots his enemies. Nobody is fleshed out and is more or less just waiting around for the mc to do something. World background: Not great but not really original either. I won’t complain but I won’t compliment either.

The system makes no sense and the opportunities the mc gets are because they walk up to him. Translation quality: Barely passable. You can read it but it’s obvious that several words/phrases aren’t done correctly every few chapters. Update stability: Ok didn’t read long before I dropped. Story development: Everything happens all at once cause a bunch of opportunities walk right up to the mc. It’s contrived nonsense. Character design: Overly generic cardboard characters. I feel like I’m reading a bare bones summary of the mc rather than getting to know him. World background: Didn’t see much before dropping but just pretty standard fare.

TLDR: A weak story with a hypocrite mc and a “mental technique” to wave off character inconsistency and any realistic interactions. Translation: Not bad but certainly not good. Some names of levels and techniques are inconsistent. Gender issues also pop up though not as common. Update stability: It’s complete so no issues there. Story development: A bit too heavy on the cliches to take seriously and the mc is so low key he would disappear if he didn’t constantly get advantages thrown in his face. Character design: The mc is low key to the point of irrelevance. If it wasn’t for other characters forcing themselves into his path and inadvertently giving him advantages he would just fade into the background. He has a “mental technique” that lets him suppress his emotions or simulate other emotions which is a weak attempt to explain why he feels hollow and contradictory. World background: A modern world built on sorcery instead of technology is explained pretty clearly and is built pretty well. However it can’t stand on its own and the other issues still drag it down.

An interesting premise that is just too big to hold together. It reads more like a collection of short stories rather than something cohesive. Translation: A few small issues that are annoying but there’s enough context that you can glide over them. Update Stability: Consistent so far. Haven’t been reading it long enough to know for sure. Story development: Kind of a mixed bag. The mc goes into different worlds for periods of time and in those self contained blocks it’s ok. However the blocks are so long and the character changes so much in them that the overarching story isn’t really there. Character design: The individual worlds are so different, the mc stays in them for so long, and he has some memories from the person he’s taken over so his actions don’t feel like the same person. It makes me feel like I don’t really know the character and sometimes his actions don’t seem to make sense. Everyone else is a passing shadow, more or less irrelevant. World background: The fact that the mc is constantly changing worlds means that each isn’t really given enough time for discovery but what you do see is pretty coherent and interesting.

This story is a joke. It does one thing over and over. If you like the first chapter you’ll like the rest cause it’s basically just repeating that ad nauseam. If you don’t like the first chapter just keep walking.

Another murder hobo mc with a system that changes as needed without explanation.
