Call me filtered, diagnose me with a short attention span, do whatever you want, I seriously can't get past the first volume of this without... more>> falling asleep. <<less

reborn as a transcendent but moderately less-bad

quite liked it about until the translator changed - chapters are now split into five or six segments of a couple paragraphs each that are released whenever they feel like it, so it kinda broke any immersion i got out of it... more>>

or could be that this is a bit of a wack story to begin with but what gives, i'm probably not going to re-read it any time soon <<less

>mecha... more>>

heh

this one's pure self-insertion wish fulfillment, and coincidentally it and two as one princesses are what got me to start searching novelupdates to quench my thirst for decent webnovels. i made a joke thread about an anon who went on a meltdown about not being able to have a yuri isekai girlfriend and someone actually gave a bunch of NU links as recommendations - this, two as one princesses and a couple other relibrary TLs to name a few

i think i remember liking it at first when i read it, but looking back it's... not very good, to say the least and it might've been the case of it being the first webnovel i read that wasn't a half-baked fanfic off wattpad, kind of like when the first visual novel i read was tsukihime, at the time i loved it but looking back the writing is questionable and overall it's... not the best compared to literally anything else. run-of-the-mill isekai stories have the tendency to make the native populace as dumb as humanly possible - like, main girl invents a blackboard, one with... get this, wheels at that, and the adventurer's guild is so stunned by this marvel of japanese engineering that she's living like royalty from the patent alone. this is a civilized fantasy world with trade guilds and a system of patents for inventions mind you, not a neolithic farming village, so it's beyond a little silly

i'd say give it a go if you like, there's a manga adaptation out there too - i tried reading that, but couldn't stomach the first chapter so take that how you will <<less

i despise japanese MCs that have a distinct lack of a backbone

your average japanese high schooler dies by truck - of course he does, what else could've killed him?... more>>

after the obligatory traffic accident, he's 'reincarnated' on another planet - one which has solved world peace through... get this, magic! the inhabitants of this mystery utopia eventually find some unknown rockheap in the middle of nowhere, called earth - but it's seen as a barbaric land where humans mu*der each other for fun. can't say they're wrong!

well, our main character, whose parents just... accept that he's a reincarnated human from this place, manages to become the sole ambassador to earth, as no one else is willing to bother to go there. he does this by trading magic stones - these things do quite literally anything your mind tells them to, and are seemingly an unlimited resource, for get this - video games! main character, before getting crushed under the pavement by that truck earlier, was a total game otaku in the 90s, and finds that the one thing his utopian friends could use is a gaming addiction!

that's what I know anyway - fifty ish chapters in, main character is creating miracles on a whim in third-world countries, all with the power of these do-all magic stones. the idea's nice, but when it goes on for so long without anything going wrong, or really, any conflict at all, it gets a bit stagnant... the whole reincarnation trope with your memories in tact thing is a bit wack to begin with, and the only chapters i look forward to are where MC interacts with his (her? yeah, this is a genderbending story by the way, but that's almost entirely irrelevant as there's a fifteen year time skip at the start) old family and friends, which happen every once and awhile, but aren't exactly the focus and that turned me off a bit. overall, it's nice, but a lack of any conflict really hurts the story's integrity. <<less

read about fifty chapters of this before i got bored and figured out there was already a manga out for it. main character's plan to... more>> conquer the world is nice and all despite being totally wacky but i get the feeling it's never going to be written out or come to fruition <<less

besides being a barely-edited, barely-readable mess of an MTL, this webnovel has a nice premise

wonky slice of life shenanigans, though boring might be a more apt description; elf-san is a better series in every way and you should read that instead... more>>

plus it's like... a manga, not a dinky MTL'd webnovel <<less

sheesh, you'd think putting a jaded middle-aged assassin with the maturity of a middle schooler inside a little girl might've turned out better

manhwa is at least a little enjoyable, MTL'd chapters start to get harder to decipher past chapter 60. past that i had a hard time... more>> figuring out what exactly is going on so take from that what you will <<less

for the life of me i can't get through this, it's an interesting world but the protagonist is enough of a massive twat that i had a hard time getting through the first few volumes, let alone the first ten... more>>

i don't care what anyone says, rudeus is a paedophelic NEET. the guy's over fifty mentally by the time the demon continent arc starts and it's just weird as f*ck watching him interact with other people and stay the exact same fundamentally throughout most of the books <<less
