Tondemo Skill de Isekai Hourou Meshi

Description

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

I, Mukouda Tsuyoshi, was caught up in a summoning circle into a different world where sword and magical skills are the norm.

However, when the summoners cast ‘Status Appraisal’ on us, the three other people who were summoned with me had [Heroes from Another World] in the occupation box, whereas I was the [Random Guy Caught Up in the Summoning Spell].

As for our ‘Skill Set’, the three Heroes had outrageous sounding skills rolling after their names like [Holy Sword Technique], [Holy Spear Technique] and [Sacred Magic].

In fact, I too have a skill you know? My one skill is called… [Net Super]…

Because it’s clearly not a combat skill, I am automatically treated like garbage.

Furthermore, the King of the country who had summoned us looked really shady.

As a veteran lightnovel reader, I can read the atmosphere well enough to come to the conclusion that ‘This is a bad world to be summoned into’.

Thus, it is decided. No matter what, I must get out of this castle as soon as possible and escape from this rotten country!

I gonna say, I moved over to reading the LN version instead of the WN. There are differences, but ya know, same boat. Might have to check out the manga as well.

Fluff-fest. Copy & paste times infinity. Look, the basis of the story is neat. Dude gets pulled to another world with some would be heroes, but not the chosen one himself. Sure, other stories have covered this, nothing new here. Get some cash, get the heck out of dodge, figure out how you live life in another world.

So the... more>> MC. Reading and writing are a non issue? Auto translate? Who knows. Dude also seems WAY to calm for this situation. Like, how about use some of those skills you got as salaryman to get by in the world? Nope, just cooking. Pretty braindead for everything else. Ohh, I can't fight, to scared, I will die, but won't bother to try to learn or get stronger. Sigh.

Spoiler

Look, most of this story is go to town, make money by selling hunted prey, oh no - something rare?!, get meat, make food, use skill, need more helpings - why hasn't portion been nailed down yet..., give stuff to useless gods, do some actual plot advancement, and repeat. Over and over again. There are many times I have skipped a head and have not missed a single thing.

I really like it. It's not for deep plot reading, just an every day life of a guy who was accidentally transported to another world with supposed heroes. I just love fer and the others (but mostly Fer) I get irritated by Mukoda from time to time especially when he's being biased towards Sui (well, he is cute, and a kid) but all's well. Can't wait to see more~ it's been like a stress reliever for me

I kind of like slice of life stories but this one is too generic, lacks of life and character motivation. There's a lot of filler chapters about food, about goddesses, about other characters that didn't add any depth to story...

The MC is your typical delusional school boy (you can ignore the fact that he is salary man, because he is not), Fenrir... Well... Is not a beast with age over 1000 years. All other characters is your typical generic NPCs from NES and SNES RPGs.

Ok. So I don't get why people don't like its laidback style. It's so unique. You can't find other Novels with such a laidback plot. I love it for that.

It's just about a male human who wants to live a normal life.

Not very action-based but it's still great. It lets you escape you everyday life quite easily and it's very calming.

If you're looking for a laid back, slow paced story then this is for you. By slow I really mean slooooooooooooowwwwww as it may boring you lol. You may find one or half chapter that only have cooking or gods offerings in future.

MC is not an action guy, he prefers to have a peaceful and safe life. Unfortunately for him, his familiars are battle maniac and in future will often deman MC to go to Dungeons.

Also since I say the story is slow so do the character development. MC starting... more>> not to freak out on enemies after a few Dungeon trips which is around chapter 200 ish.
Spoiler

Also getting an OP defensive blessing from gods make him more confident but sometimes still scared bec of enemies appearance lol

[collapse]

All in all this LN is a nice read when you want some laid back story with a simple plot aka Mukoda trying to slacc but his familiars aren't. <<less

I am not expecting much from this novel but still manage to disappoint me, it is incredible feat considering I won't usually leave a review if a novel isn't worth enough reviewing.

This novel is showing readers "How to be a tool" or "How people can take advantage of you if you are dumb" novel.

First of all, the high rated reviews are misleading. Sure there are good things in this novel. But it is over shadowed by the cons. And the main thing that humans are good at is adapting to... more>> the environment you are in. That's why we survive and conquer the whole planet and come out top of the food chain. This here, in the novel. The MC didn't adapt to the environment he is put into and still some people like him because they see themselves in him. They have in common after all, being pathetic and die a dogs death. If it was not for the plot armor, the MC would have died a long time ago.

It is not fun to read a story if plot armor is always use. Author use your brain not your plot armor. <<less

Solid isekai that does great slice of life.

There really isn't anything special with this novel, it doesn't do anything new. It just has really entertaining slice of life stuff and fun characters.

Be warned thou: the traveling the cooking parts can be repetitive but there are lots of other good stuff, thank goodness!

huh this novel isn't as bad as these 1 star review thought sure the beginning is kinda crappy but things start to get interesting albeit repeatedly plot line with MC buy stuff from Net Super and Sell, Enjoy it for himself and his companion or simply give those as offering to the god and goddess in exchange for divin protection.

if you could enjoy the so called sh*t Cliche Japanese Novel like Isekai Smartphone no Tomoni or Death March you'll enjoy this novel as well since those two novel have similiarity... more>> with this one especially the light hearted thing one althought the MC is Scaredy Cat and coward for MC Standard but he isn't as bad as what you thought. <<less

Not impressed by the setting, it seems a rip-off from konjiki no wordmaster and the writing style also doesn't seem all that great. Still, it's only the first chapter and the translator has done a wonderful job (it doesn't look like MTL at all) so I'll stick with it for a few more chapters.

My favorite day of the week is Tuesdays, only because I know I will get a new chapter of this. The newest editor and translator are my favorite, the story is easier to read and the flow is more consistent. This novel takes a bit of work in the middle, but it is worth it. I probably would have dropped this novel if I didn't find it after the new team took over. So please if you read this, this is my top recommendation for a good wholesome story that... more>> keeps me looking forward to next Tuesday. <<less

this is the most average novel i've ever read, the story is average, the action is average, and the slice of life is average, well at least it's not bad, the only downside is the protagonist keep whining all the time, it's so annoying, sometimes I wonder, does this kind of protagonist is popular in japan? He keeps whining all the time about everything, it's fine in the beginning when your life suddenly changes from modern day to medieval age, but this, the protagonist already there for quite a while... more>> with his fenrir, doing all crazy stuff all the time, but he keeps whining from every little thing? God it's so awful to read.

i mean if you meet a guy who keeps whining all the time when doing something together, when he's perfectly protected and accommodated, you're definitely feeling annoyed right, I mean what's this guy deal, can't read the mood at all, I definitely want to stay away from him, and he's 27 for God sake, does people in Japan seriously love this kind of guy? Why don't you just make the protagonist normal, if the author try to make it as a joke, then it's not funny at all, it's just cringe <<less

it's rather fun. The MC himself is ordinary and the interaction with gods and familiars are interesting I specially love that while the group is OP the MC is ordinary and just goes with the flow. It's not for people looking for action or drama or an MC with lots of different op abilities

and the manga is fun too. Hope it also turns into anime

amidst all the many isekais, this one stays as favorite of mine.

in the early chapters (I think), MC said he wants to travel the world and sightseeing, and that's what he do. Well, of course, he also get into several things like extermination monster requests, procuring foods for his ever-so-glutton familiar, dungeon exploration, and so on.

I just love how even though MC has OP familiar and cheat online supermarket skills, this story (at least in ch 151), still retained his goal - sightseeing around the world, normally bickering with his... more>> familiar about food and cooking and don't-you-sparta-trained-me-about-my-pathetic-magic-spell-you-OP familiars.

perhaps this is only personal preference, but whenever I'm tired about other isekais filled with arrogant overpowered MC who collecting harem and mad skillz like whoa, I reread this novel again and imagine myself send to isekai with online supermarket (full of convenience) ready on the tip of my finger and OP familiar ready to protect me, and travel leisurely. <<less

I really enjoy the perspective of the main character and their interest in exploring the world while avoiding issues. The cooking background and the net super ability are fantastic ingredients for a fun story.

Unfortunately the monster companions and deities start to drag on the story. There are dungeon diving and monster hunting sections that are pretty boring and unoriginal.

I would have liked to have read about what the main character would do if they weren't bossed around by their companions.

This goes from a great read to an ok one. I... more>> think I've had my fill with the meal at 138 chapters however. <<less

I both love and hate this novel. It's a food p*rn novel, almost every chapter is an over the top description of whatever dish he's making for almost every meal.

Sadly the main character is basically a s*ave to both his monsters, and the gods and goddesses.

Which makes it frustrating to read. Also, the power lvls are wack, which I think is the most annoying part.

... more>> He'll have twice the lvl of the other characters that came with him, but only a quarter of the stats. Which is annoying.

Also, one of his companions right now should be twice his lvl and is under him, but like 100 times stronger.

His lvl is 90, and he hardly fights, while hers is 50 and she fights constantly.

But her stats are way above his which makes no sence.

Like he started at just about 100 in his stats, but at lvl 90 he's only 480 or something close to that.

While, the people who came with him were in the thousands almost right away... <<less

it’s hard giving it 4 stars, it’s kinda plain story.

MC is too coward, don’t even trust in his guardian power. Fer is quite normal muscle brain. Sui got interesting character (like how far the slime will go).

Story is like I said, plain and kinda absurd. Despite mc’s weak mentality and combat ability, everyone on their knees for his cooking even the goddess.

Overall it’s a good read to pass time.

It's a pretty good, if a bit slow, story that's mostly about cooking.

If you're in the mood for action or drama this won't fit your need at all, but if you just want a funny little story to pass the time, and maybe rev up your appetite a bit, then this is a pretty good read.

Overall, it's not amazing but for what it is, it's enjoyable enough. If you're not interested in this kind of story however, then this novel isn't going to convince you otherwise.

I'm currently up to 496 and I am committed because I really enjoy the way the author will list all the dungeon loot and the business transactions afterwards. But I really really am annoyed by how much of a push over the MC is, if I look at it objectively a lot of protagonists that are in Isekai's are generous because they have a lot and they don't mind sharing what they have with friends. But in Mukouda's case, when he should get mad at someone, he's frustratingly/sickeningly nice. If... more>> you've read the manga, you'll know that the dragon crazy elf is someone he should reject outright but he doesn't and continues to keep a relationship with him at the expense of his familiars. I do like the cooking scenes, the dungeon and fight scenes and like I said the business transactions of loot after he clears a dungeon. If you're looking for a novel with a protag that is awesome and smart and confident, then you should pass this one for something else. <<less
