We have not had enough time with these characters to feel anything when they cry over the dudes death, especially when we know he's currently an OP god and plowing the hot s*ave he bought. Which is nice, a lot better than them being all 'hehe useless boy died POOOOOOG'. They all have a breakdown when they think the MC died. I guess it's better than having a beta MC who can't even think of sleeping with a woman but I'd like some emotional investment please.Īnd speaking of emotions, lets talk about the heroes. Each person in his harem falls in love with and has s*x with him immediately, there's no emotional payoff whatsoever. The guy gets teleported to what we can only assume is god's personal laptop and clicks a link that makes him completely f*cking invincible. more> be something along the lines of 'the MC traverses dangerous wilderness's to return to his comrades to make sure they repay him! On the way he buys s*aves since he doesn't want to die' wouldn't you? NOPE. Now, at this point you would think that the story would. Then the MC gets immediately hit by the random teleportation item that someone was trying to use to assassinate the heroes. The MC himself holds a pretty severe personality that values feeling 'indebted' to people in really high value which is a tad irritating but it's interesting nonetheless. The MC and his pals get summoned to a fantasy world as heroes, but the MC is just a bystander caught up in the summoning, fairly basic plot. I will add to, or change, my review after giving it another 20 chapters, since they're all pretty short. At the time of this review (Ch.11), the MC and his girls have only started their adventure. Whether it becomes 5 stars or 3 depends on the plot and how it progresses. Those things alone already put it well ahead of many other typical Isekai novels, where it takes an act of God for the MC to notice the feelings of those around him, much less act on them, or where the MC is instantly booted from the party after being transferred due to having no skills, or where the OP MC just forces changes or spouts their "this world is EVUL! MUST change the system nao! Down with s*avery! Down with Nobility!" spiel. He's adapting to the world and taking the differences in culture in stride. At the same time, he isn't blatantly trying to force a change due to his OP'ness, nor is he trying to force typical Japanese ideals on the world. The MC isn't some pathetic pushover with the density of a neutron star, has some actual balls in taking the initiative in intimacy and action, and most importantly, his fellow summoned buddies don't hate his guts or try to push him away when it turns out they have some special abilities and he didn't (yet). With that said, the reason I am giving it a solid 4 for now is that it's a bit different from the usual Isekai story. Quite a number of story elements have been changed almost from the start, and I suspect that the manga differences were based on whatever changes were made between WN to LN. One thing to note, for those coming in to read it after reading the manga, is that this is the WN original. It could use an editor to help smooth the flow. I'm not sure if it's due to the translator or an extremely rough origin source. I like the story, but it feels a bit stiff and stilted at times.
#Freeter ga jimini isekai teni suru manga baka update#
Will update once again after another 10 or so chapters. I'm tempted to downgrade it to 3-Stars, given how slow the build-up remains to be, but that's probably my bias from being spoiled a bit by the manga version giving a bit more even viewpoints between his side and his friends' sides. One main thing to note is that there hasn't been much of a peep from the PoV of his friends up to this point, and that once again, if you're coming in from the Manga, this is the WN version that has a notable difference. The story is still chugging along somewhat leisurely, our MC is growing his harem bit by bit (and actually being physically intimate with them), and setting up a base of operations, but translations remain MTL-stiff and in need of an editor.
