Jujutsushi Wa Yuusha Ni Narenai

Description

Links are NOT allowed. Format your description nicely so people can easily read them. Please use proper spacing and paragraphs.

On that day, due to the outbreak of an unprecedented and abnormal event, 41 students from class 2-7 of Shiromine Academy are summoned to a different world, one full of magic.

Separated and summoned inside a vast dungeon, where the only way to escape is to head to the deepest area, they are given the power of a Divine Protection 『Vocation』 as the only means of survival.

While some of them are brave, some just do whatever they want, and some harbor treacherous intentions, they all aim to capture the dungeon.

In this place, one person gained a 『Vocation』 whose skills are unsuitable for combat, attendance number 19, Momokawa Kotaro.

A boy with a small and lean build from the Literature Club wasn’t blessed with a physical ability, swordsmanship, or strong magic, rather he only had the 『Shaman』 vocation to rely on.

After being driven out of the group and left behind by his powerful classmates —– his survival instinct starts running at full throttle!

Pushed to the limit of survival in the different world’s dungeon, what starts with trusting and loving each other soon ends in killing and betrayal.

The most beautiful and gruesome battle royale has raised its curtain.

Second time I've tried to read this, couldn't remember why I didn't read it if the premise sounded intereting, I wanted to post the reason of why I can't go past chapter 1, too many TN and ED notes, the story is written as a monologue and having the translator and editor goofing around at the end of some verses really broke the immersion.

I generally don't mind those kinds of notes, sometimes they are even fun or quirky, but this felt way too excessive, I genuinely couldn't finish reading the... more>> first chapter, you're getting a sense of immersion and it's constantly broken by these notes.

"Then don't read the notes"

I apologize, I don't do selective reading, especially if I'm getting immersed in a book, I just lose myself in the words, which is part of what I enjoy when reading a story, suddenly two other people are commenting on what I'm reading and it just breaks that immersion, which felt really annoying, if you can endure that, go ahead.

Again, I generally don't really mind those notes, but here, there are just too many.

It was an immersive read till those parts btw, so maybe you'll enjoy it. <<less

I disagree with low reviews. I actually read this when I was much younger. I got impatient and read Mtl at the time up to a point where ... more>>

everyone meets up again

[collapse]
. I'll retract review if I think it's sh** after rereading

i give this a maybe 4-5 stars because I did enjoy the story and kind of battle royale and survival tone. My rating isn't accurate because I read it awhile ago and I binged it which causes bias.

im giving 5 stars also due to a lot of people complaining about things with little chapters read. The love interest is fat, the main character is hated by everyone, why do I want to read about some other guys harem. All these things change later on, love interest transforms
Spoiler

to a badass toned warrior, main character is able to grow companionship with some other classmates, hero guy and his harem is collapsing..

[collapse]
the MC is definitely an outsider but the attraction to me is him finding his own people and being accepted/overturning expectations, being dark horse kind of edgy blah blah

overall enjoyed, I liked the gritty tone, a little bit of a guilty pleasure read for me so I don't recommend this for everyone... but this was a memorable story for me. Kind of slow tho and has kills that people may complain about. I mean the slow pace is fine if there were enough chapters but I think the translations caught up to what I read mtl years ago <<less

i want to like the books since it has quite intersting background but the way he writes kind of sucks

Did human like that even exist I wonder

He is so indecisive and always potraying himself as useless but end up complaining about everything

... more>> I cant even pity him when bad thing happen to him cause it was a given from how he behaves that something bad will happen to him sooner or later

It get better because the inconsistency of MC character get better now he is just hypocrite who complaint in monologue but never take action but I think you should give the novel a try <<less

So, I've read it up to c147, and it turns out to be a prequel to Kuro no Maou.

Spoiler

The schoollers were actually summoned into the Caramara's dungeon, controlled by Crusader's puppets Fck!

[collapse]

As for the content, it is very mediocre, I can not recommend it to anyone, unless he is familiar with the other works of the author.

This is my first review so don't expect much from this.

This novel started where a lot of characters are introduced, yes its pretty hard to memorize them all so I gave up on that but at least know what happened to them.

There's a lot of POV about a harem party which I decided to skip them all but it doesn't really affect big about the story of our MC here.

... more>> There are some encounter which made me think of how the hell they're supposed to beat that.

The story is good and doesn't disappoint me at all.

What I'm happy about is that the MC here is still a virg*n till this chapter <<less

I saw all the comments saying anyone who gave a bad review couldn't give it a chance so I made it 100 chapters deep thinking it would get better but I think I'm done

The idea of the story itself I actually like and was the only reason I kept chugging on but man I just can't stand the characters. Every almost every one of them is just a garbage person. People keep saying they keep it realistic or true to how people are but I really hope that's not how... more>> most people really think or would act towards one another. I understand that some people would and are like that but 98% of them?

I have little issue with the MC being underpowered or that he's wimpy but I don't like his character either so it's hard to stay invested

Most of the men are just way over the top about the girls in the story. I think most of "toxic masculinity" being complained about in our culture is ridiculous but if this is how most of them actually think (according to how true to form others say this story is) then maybe there's actually something to it..

Also drives me nuts that the MC flies into inner monologue rages when people do anything to him, cussing up a storm about their depravity, that s*upid bit*h c*nt this and who*e that then does the exact same types of things to others because of course you would, it's survival

I saw multiple people say the MC is just trying to survive without falling into the same tropes his tr*sh classmates do but he does... Threats, violence, manipulation, coercion, using people and tossing them aside when they've done nothing to you...

There's a difference between becoming distrustful of people due to betrayal and actively trying to harm those around you without scruple

Idk, different stories for different people I guess. I really like the story itself but it's hard to continue when I dislike all of the characters so much I'm really not rooting for anyone to actually survive <<less

Damn this novel gave me a roller coaster of emotions. I admit that the way this teenager MC acts is frustrating BUT he has a nice character development, still I don't like the fact that after all he had suffered he is still such a nice person in comparison with his classmates. I know that this is a japanese novel so cheering for the MC to get back to the people that made him suffer all the stuff he got through is unlikely he'll probably help them eventually (honestly I... more>> hate this aspect that the jp author does with revenge that the MC has to be the better person and not do anything to someone that tried to kill the MC). Summarizing this novel make you feel angry and frustrated a lot but it's a nice read, better than the majority of the japanese novels on this site. <<less

Slow growth? All right, ok, but the main story is unnecessarily slow. It`s basically a battle royale seeing through the eyes of a beta MC. The history has its peaks, but it is full of cliches and common tropes. It is funny to see how easy and unfair is the life of a protagonist protected by the plot armor and a harem, but as I said earlier, the history is unnecessarily slow. I've lost interest in the story and I think I know where this is going. 2.6

I love this story

But here is the cons

... more>>
Spoiler

MC very great personality, cunning and realistic. But he is very dense about lust and his own utility power. He is not beta, he is actively doing service for party and always expect the worst.

I dont like other Pov. I know its necessary for great story (A harem that wanna get You Killed, Final Assembly to fight EndGame boss, etc) but its not fun in this story. Well, except class rep...

Forced plot few times. Im okay with a hero suddenly teleport when MC do necessary kill to a b*tch. But Crazy Archer not deserve to get killed. He just dont let you pass the way and see a corpse.

[collapse]

I love this more than Kuro no Maou <<less

Pretty consistent novel when it comes to giving an interesting plot and a story. Wouldn't say that it is perfect as there's these chapters that you would choose to skip depending on your interest (mainly the POV of side characters), and another are these skill holes in which our MC aren't using or spamming although it would make sense if he were to use them (atleast give us an explanation, author). As for our characters, they have these stereotypical characteristics in which gives the plot different variation of outlooks as... more>> they are surviving in this dangerous dungeon. A lot of them showed progression and created some significance in the story. <<less

It has an rpg element but no status menu bar so it's like a friend telling you a story not you reading a story, MC has a character development even it's slow for a dog eat dog sh*t world his in, it is hard to read for a novel but if it's a manga then you will get visual to what your reading. That's all for me thanks
