Bookmarked? Yes. 

Badass, emotionless bast@rds or vulnerable, reliant characters, which main character archetype does the larger demographic prefer? Of course, the former, as characters with flaws and a lack of strength aren’t enjoyable to read comparatively to the breeze-through opponents and constant sudden/proven power-ups. As such, this manga is bound to have worse reviews than any generic “tr@sh” despite being nearly identical in every aspect. I won’t go out and say the wiki plot device is the most creative nor is the mc’s familiar, but I will say that the author decided to gamble and step outside the box by creating a harem, fantasy character that does attempt self-improvement without disregarding their emotional intelligence. 

The mc doesn’t exhibit any thoughts of vengeance nor do his ideals change out of the realm of realism based on his previous self. For being a game fantasy world, this is probably one of the most realistic where the mc doesn’t get constant exploits to boost his power out of nowhere. Though, with that being said, not much is explained besides for the basics which definitely is not enough world building, especially for this manga’s trope. 

This manga isn’t the best of its trope, but it does take a rather creative direction in the main character; apart from that, everything else is subpar or lacking which ruins any high quality potential this manga might’ve had. Don’t bother reading this if you can’t stand emotionally weak/idiotic characters or slow progression, if you are impartial, i’d give it a shot.
