【Fantasy world, slow-paced adventure, mage, monster encyclopedia collection】

After arriving in a fantastical otherworld, Gauss acquires an adventurer’s handbook—one that allows him to grow stronger the more monsters he slays and catalogs. He originally thought he was about to embark on a classic heroic journey: slay dragons, vanquish demons, and save kingdoms.

Instead, he finds himself endlessly exterminating goblins—creatures that breed like pests and never seem to go extinct. As the goblin kill count and rewards on his monster compendium grow at an alarming rate, his face grows ever more helpless…

“You have slain 1,000 goblins! Intelligence +1, Strength +1, Constitution +1.”

“Title 『Goblin Butcher』 upgraded to 『Goblin Specialist』—you are now an expert in goblin extermination. Few know better than you how to kill goblins.”

“…”

“Title 『Goblin Specialist』 upgraded to 『Goblin Nemesis』—you are now the most terrifying oppressor in goblin history, a nightmare etched deep into their bloodline.”

Current Effects:

Effect 1: Nemesis. Deals 50% additional damage against goblins.

Effect 2: Bloodthirst. Slaying goblins has a chance to randomly restore 10% of stamina.

Effect 3: Intimidation. You exert absolute pressure over goblins and their evolved kin, greatly weakening them in your presence.

As the title keeps evolving on his status panel,

Gauss seriously wonders—

Is there any way to stop people from prefixing his legendary titles like “Dungeon Conqueror,” “Redscale Bane,” “Phase Hunter,” “Pale Monarch,” and “Scourge of Tiamat” with…

Goblin Slayer?

[Plot Summary:]

The MC transmigrates into a medieval fantasy world as a young hunter and gets a system that makes him stronger the more monsters he kills. It doesn't matter how weak they are, every single kill counts. And guess what's the most common monster in a medieval fantasy? Yeah, goblins. Those c*ckroach-like things that reproduce insanely fast. Wiping them out is literally impossible, because even if one is left alive, it'll just multiply again.

The setting and power system are your usual western high fantasy, with a bit of xianxia influence,... more>> though not enough to change the overall vibe. The protagonist himself is actually a decent person. He doesn't look down on others, but he doesn't overhype himself either. He knows his limits and what he's capable of. In combat he's ruthless and pragmatic, but outside of it he isn't some lone wolf type. There's a lot of teamwork with other adventurers, and the side characters are written pretty well. The action scenes are solid too.

The story keeps things grounded. We see the MC struggling in his early fights, slowly adapting to his environment. He doesn't just wake up as some god-like figure who knows everything. He asks questions, seeks advice from seniors with more experience, and learns from every encounter on his journey. While the story doesn't really have a fixed, clear goal, I'd say it works fine as a progressive fantasy.

[Review:]

What I really enjoyed about this novel is how grounded it feels compared to a lot of other CN fantasies I've read. The adventures include a lot of planning, strategizing, gathering of supplies, and synchronizing with their teammates, so there's no dramatic "hidden abilities" that pops out mid battle, adventurers need to evaluate a lot of stuff, including their companions capabilities. The protagonist isn't the type who complains about every small problem or acts overly humble for no reason. He actually values himself and recognizes the effort he puts in. He adapts fast, learns from his mistakes, and doesn't let little inconveniences drag him down. Outside of combat he's a decent guy, but once he's up against hostile enemies, whether monsters or humans, he doesn't hesitate to be ruthless. That mix makes him a very solid character to follow.

I also liked how the author handled conflict. There's barely any pointless drama with other people, and that feels refreshing. The story focuses more on adventuring and monster hunting rather than wasting time with petty grudges or face-slapping arcs. The MC even goes out of his way to avoid unnecessary enemies, which I think is a good thing. It keeps the story moving forward instead of circling around the same tired clichés.

Another plus is the teamwork. The MC isn't some lone wolf, and we see him working with other adventurers quite a lot. The side characters are written well enough to feel memorable, and the action scenes are solid. I also liked how the MC doesn't just magically know everything, he actually asks questions, listens to seniors with more experience, and learns from each encounter. That makes the progression feel much more natural.

As for the world-building, it's pretty solid. We haven't seen the full scope yet, but there are enough hints that the author plans for the MC to explore a large part of the world later on. The monsters and ecology are your typical high fantasy setup, nothing groundbreaking, but they do the job. The power system feels like a mix of western RPG mechanics with some light xianxia influence, though not enough to overpower the fantasy vibe.

Now, on the flip side, there are a few things that bothered me. The first one is the literacy rate. This is supposed to be a medieval fantasy world where regular technology isn't very advanced, but somehow every adventurer can read. There are no schools or guilds mentioned that would explain this, and it just feels a bit off.

There are also some plot devices that pop up and then get dropped. The Bone Staff and that strange resonance moment are the biggest examples. They seemed like they'd be important, but then they never came up again. Stuff like that makes the writing feel inconsistent at times.

The use of cultivation terms like breakthroughs and seclusion also stands out. The story is clearly meant to be a medieval fantasy, but these xianxia elements keep slipping in. It's not overwhelming, but it does feel slightly out of place. I guess that's just the author's background showing through.

Lastly, it's a little uncanny how nearly every person the MC meets turns out to be good and helpful. I'm not saying that's a bad thing, but it did make me raise an eyebrow a few times. Compared to other CN novels I've read, it feels unusual to have such a lack of selfish or scheming characters. Still, I'll take that over the endless betrayal and manipulation you see everywhere else.

And one more thing, the magical technology is a bit too advanced for a world like this. There are items that can literally replay the past or guarantee perfect information, and that level of magic feels way too high compared to the rest of the setting. I kept expecting an explanation for it, but it never came. The Dungeons/Ruins can be the explanation, but it was explained to be a lost civilization, not really sure if it's connected, but yeah.

Overall though, I think the positives outweigh the negatives. The story is progressive, the MC is likable and pragmatic, and the action scenes are good. While there are inconsistencies here and there, it's still an enjoyable read if you're into a grounded fantasy adventure with a steady pace.

I'd rate it around 4.4ish/5 for me. Pretty good novel, if I say so myself.

PS. While I did mention that MC doesn't have a "goal", the author seems to be cooking something 'cause there's a few hints scattered throughout the story already. Maybe a war with monsters or evil gods descending. Idk, just a theory.

Spoiler

Examples are : MC's monologue at the beginning, mentioning about feeling the need to be stronger quickly. The Sword Saint dying of old age. Early Winter. Monsters erratic behavior, some showing signs of deliberate sabotage to elites/professionals with careful planning
