I have three big issues with this story. First, our main character. He is so extremely forgettable and bland I literally don't remember this name as I'm writing this review. Hell, I remember that guy Finn (or Fizz I forgot cuz he's bland too) better than our main character, and that's because Finn has a goal while the MC doesn't. Finn wants to protect the MC. It's a terrible goal but at least it's something to push his actions. Our MC has no goal. We don't even know why he cheats. Does he get satisfaction out of winning by cheating? Is there something he has to cheat to get? Why does he do anything he does?
My second big issue is the disconnection with the story. What I mean by that is that everyone's emotions seem incredibly dampened and they don't react to things the way they should. Two big examples are our MC and Finn. Our MC just got f**king killed by an unknown entity and kidnapped to another world and his reaction is "ok". What?! A normal person would be screaming and crying and freaking out! If the character is meant to be calm and collected, that has to be set up. Show them reacting to surprising situations with a poker face. But there's none of that in the story. Main character dies, he walks it off like nothing happened and within five minutes forgot all about Earth until Finn brought it up. The other example is Finn. He waited three years for our MC to show up and his reaction is "hey dude I'm supposed to protect you". Like, no. If I waited three years for something to show up and one day it finally did I would be jumping for joy and cheering. Finn does none of that. There are other minor examples too. MC learns magic exists and doesn't react at all. The guard runs into a suspicious person with no ID and the first thing he does is not to detain him or question him but to let him into the city. Things like that.
My third issue tied in to the second, and it's that you always put "said" or "asked" at the end of dialogue. Compare these two lines: "We are about to die", Joe said. And "We are about to die!" Joe yelled. Which one seems more realistic and powerful? You also don't have to always put the "said" at the end of dialogue. It can be in the middle or at the beginning. Switch it up. Bring in some variety. It makes things more interesting and immersive.
It’s not that bad it’s not a wonderful story but if you’re a veteran reader and you read every other sentence and mostly are reading just to fill in space between novels it’s perfect and not a harem or romance so far so I give it a pretty good 5* mostly because I’m burnt out from reading harem and forced romance novels
This is just simply a refreshing no-bullsh*t isekai. It is somewhat of a wish fulfilling novel but still full of pure entertainment and nothing else. If you're looking to read something laid but not too complex this is it.
When people die, where do they end up to?
I don’t know about anyone else, but when I died, I arrived at the strangest Heaven of all times. And I got a chance to reincarnate with all of my memories!
Jackpot!
