The actual narrative and syntax are okay, a bit stagnated sometimes, but not terrible. I haven't read the published work. This review is for the webnovel series. To me? It's not five stars. It's about a 3.5 approaching 4. The release cadence is just too awful and the stagnated narrative really drags on pacing wise. I think it was because they tried to stagger the harem in rather than ensemble. The characters are decent, the protagonist is not too awful, but everything is a bit shallow and banal world building wise.

These people over hype it a bit to me. There's real five star novels on here. Wisher Beware? This is okay junk food to me, but it's not that good to get a five star. I wouldn't reread it for instance. Especially considering the release cadence and over saturation of this banal trope in harem. The magic itself is mostly unique at least? The writer seems like a decent guy. We even talked about my review a while back and he seemed genuinely curious about my perspective. 

... Just an honest review.

What can I say, other than by not reading this, you are doing yourself a massive disservice. The characters are super sweet, the combat is well thought out, the world's mechanics are well thought out and well explained, and the romance is suuuuuper sweet.

This story focuses mainly on the relationship between the two individuals (as of c27), and I can say that if you don't like the story within the first 7 chapters, you can stop there, but please, give it a try!

Update: c44:

New party member, Awesome party member, dynamic with original companion is unchanged, MC is a fine gentleman.

Update: c118 (patreon as of writing) : HYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYPE

The Cliffs, the Characters, the Reveals, the Events, IT'S ALL SO AWESOME! PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, R E A D I T

Update: c126 (patreon, as of writing) : Sai somehow never ever fails to one up himself almost every single chapter and the happiness is starting to hurt

I give this a 4/5.

Positive points:

1) The story is not hard to follow. If you're looking for good reading material without much effort, this is a good story for it.

2) The storyline is solid. The story does follow a predictable path, but I would rather emphasize here that it does not detract from the reading enjoyment. Even though I could predict where things were headed long before they got there, I have been engaged through the whole thing.

3) The characters hold unique personalities from each other and are well-expressed. This is a really good point, as it allows dialogue to be easily followed when it comes up. The characters are expressive without feeling unnatural.

4) The world-building is pretty good. Everything necessary for the storyline is explained without tedious "info-dumps" and the information is paced so that the reader has something to look forward to. I found this to be a supporting aspect for the predictability of the storyline, as the author's theory-craft really helps drive interest.

Not-so-strong points:

1) The characters, as a whole, do not develop to any significant degree. The characters change and they get stronger, but they do not develop. Their well-expressed personalities largely stay the same throughout the whole story to this point.

2) The storyline is predictable. While it is solid, the predictability may detract from the enjoyment for someone looking for something more original.

3) The pace is quick. A lot of things happen fast. This isn't to the point that important details are left out, but it does mean that there is more emphasis on character interaction and action than there is for scene-setting, world-building and development.

It's a good story and I have enjoyed it to this point.

Rating is based on content viewable on this website.

The story is decent, the characters are likeable enough, the main character has a surprising amount of depth, his harem approves of his harem, and it's not too cheesy. The overpowered character shows off pikachu face moments are done pretty poorly, but it's bearable. Sadly, it's all brought down to the ground by its inconsistent Otome world. 

One hypothetical chapter the main character is watching people die in a dungeon, and the next he's slapping the king in front of everyone with no consequences because the plot calls for it. Well the good parts were fun while they lasted at least.

I suppose a more positive outlook on it would be it has an Otome world with dark elements?

There are little to no grammar mistakes, the characters feel alive and not like puppets. There weren't any info-dumps, but the world feels fleshed out.

The MC isn't an overpowered d*ck but neither is he a asocial loser incapable of contact with a female, like in so many other stories. He is nicely balanced, and even though he got a power up early on, the story didn't turn into a power for the sake of power story. There seems to be a direction the story is following.

There are bits of romance and the author has done a wonderful job in capturing it so far. You'll probably be shipping the characters from their first meeting. All in all, if you like fantasy, fluff and warm feelings this is a story for you.

1st off, I have to warn people this novel is definitely for 18+ only. Dont let your kids read it. Period

I'm sure this will catch me flak. Quality wise I rate this series right up there with one of my favorites. Which is the story of Drizzt Do'Urden by R.A. Salvatore. Yeah. I really think Rise of the Weakest Summoner deserves to sit on the same podium.

100% worth the read. Engaging story with unique characters. Main character shows both steady and stepped growth types, sometimes slowly developing while others suddenly delving into the next stage. Almost all of the main cast (his summons) also show similar growth stages. Plenty of suspense making you want more. I've read every book to the chapter. 

Favorite characters are definitely the MC, Selina (because FOXGIRL), and Umbra (which is rare for me, most MCs or male (?) leads grow stale rather quickly). I'm very expectant and hyped to learn more about Umbra in the new book (Volume 9). 

If I have to name one complaint, its Grea. She's just a bit too much for me. But she does add a unique.... flavor... to the story, so she's not enough for me to rate this any lower than 5☆

Definitely worth buying if you can afford it. Support this work as it is far better written than about 90% of the non-isekai fantasy ive read. 

But if you're too broke, there are still places to find the complete story up to volume 7 online... if you can tolerate the obnoxious pop-ups/redirect attempts. I started this way at first, and loved it enough to buy, even if I had to save up to do so.

But I wont say where its listed! So dont ask! I sincerely hope the author can force the sites to remove it now as I'm hooked. (And ive been able to keep current on scribblehub until I save for the next. I cant have an incomplete set for long or itll drive me bonkers!)

If you can afford it but still take the free route, then you should swallow 1000 needles!!!

one of the most intriguing stories I have stumbled upon.

Quite good and easy to read story. However it has it's flaws that make it difficult to fully immerse in the story. Regardless, people like the story for what it is and I would suggest for author to simply keep doing a good work. World building is OK. There are a new encounters at each corner that brings in a new question and answers to the ones asked earlier. Characters learn a lot during their travels. About themselves and surrounding world (s). However characters... they learn, then get stronger and they fall strongly for MC. But there is no proper development. Fundamentally they stay the same since they were introduced. They never try to use their newfound powers for evil or even minor mischief. It's human quality to be corrupted by power, even in a smallest degree. But here there is none. Well, I came here for a nice story so I wouldn't like to see it anyway. However I would like to see characters apply what they've learned to themselves. To change their behaviour, to grow... Besides unchanging characters get annoying (I'm looking at you, Miria...) or boring over time. Hence author has to add more and more of them to keep variety. As the story progresses it becomes hard to track who is who. Speaking of characters, this story repeats faults of many other fantasy stories: almost all of the characters are from high society: princesses, rulers, scholars, etc. There should be like 100 village girls for each noble girl, but here they are almost non-existent. I'm not talking about MC's party but the world depicted in the story. Story-telling is good and bad, depending on the actual content depicted. The adventure part is amazing. Travels, encounters with other characters, puzzle solving is all superb. However action parts (battles) and s*x scenes are dragging on unreasonably. Author focuses on the description of the content, while these scenes require more dynamics. It seems to me author tries to apply the same approach for describing everything that comes MC's way. But it just doesn't work and the story drags on. Overall, I'm giving it 4 stars. It's a good read.

I have been listening to this on Audible and didnt realize that it was even on here until today... The series is pretty good, though there are some places it could be smoothed out and fixed but that is every book.
