I enjoyed this a lot in spite of weak storytelling. There were plenty of unexpected elements and a good pace, and the MC was likeable. Side characters are mostly comic relief with a bit of fanservice, but not annoying. The MC is OP but still faces challenges. I could criticize a lot but I don’t feel like doing so, it was pretty fun, I recommend
Summary: MC loses family and becomes homeless, dies and heads to isekai with cheat skills but keeps that homeless vibe going
Good manga but not worth it reading. It’s an Unfinished series, forgotten for 2 years with no update. Just don’t waste your time.

6.6/10
“I really liked this…” is what I’d like to tell myself. However, that is simply not the case; despite my desperations to find a really good slow-life manga, I still couldn’t tolerate this for any longer. Though, to be fair, this manga isn’t supposed to be a part of the slow-life genre, however, the author wrote the story like one, so take it how you will. To put it simply, the manga just doesn’t do anything different and it follows the same formula it sets for itself over and over again, becoming a boring, mindless read.
No matter how you justify the plot, it’s full of plot holes and didn’t anything unique. Not only that, it’s full of plot holes while trying to make it progress, forcefully or not. Generics are also apparent in the plot line, with every plot armor moment appearing in the most crucial of times. As for the characters, they seem unique or different in the beginning, however, they get no development and stay stagnant throughout the story, causing them to become boring.
With a strong start, the manga gradually falls off over time, reducing it to a mindless slow-life read. There’s some minor romance subplot developments, but it’s virtually nothing, so there’s nothing to spice up the plot line besides for the usual rehearsed power-ups.

When I started reading this title, I was hoping it would grow and improve over time. Sadly that doesn’t seem to be the case. 🙁
Storytelling as of chapter 16.1 is kinda sloppy, and the artwork is no help. It’s as if the author’s only experience before this serialization was doing pinup artwork. Fight scenes don’t even look much like fight scenes, nor give any sense of excitement for the action. Movements are so stiff, it’s like they’re just transitioning from pose to pose. I had high hopes for an MC who would use his wits to be creative and survive because of his past and being homeless, but even that isn’t getting much attention or application. When it comes to battle parts of the story and balancing it with story progression and dialogue, I’m rather disappointed by the presentation.
Could’ve been good,
turned out to be shit.
