This is an interesting novel to write anything about. The reason being, it is one of those novels you either love or hate. There is no middle ground for this one. Also, I want to clear this at the beginning that this is merely my impression of the book till chapter 50, NOT A REVIEW OF THE ENTIRE BOOK. Hence, Anything I say is subjected to change due to character development. Furthermore, as I am not a fan of big fan of the harem genre, it might be slightly biased regarding the harem trope. I apologize if that happens and welcome all types of correction and valid arguments(not the type saying if you don't like it, write your own book). I am pretty sure most of the readers came for this story like me, by looking at the synopsis and the promise it holds. A gun-wielding, magicless MC in a sword and sorcery isekai-world who is aiming for the top is an interesting premise. I like the world and its magic system. It's simple and easy to understand. you get everything you can hope for in a fantasy world, from sword to magic, from elf to demon, and everything in between. The magic system and leveling up are pretty straightforward and without any headache-inducing complexity. In short, the premise and the world itself are pretty solid and familiar. I want to divide the characters between MC and other characters because this particular MC needs some explanation. Other than MC, all other characters are familiar, at least if you have been around anime long enough. I am not saying they are poorly written or anything. Contrary to that they are by the book(except one) and as a result, you just don't see any unique characters. This will change in the future if the author decides to do some heavy-duty character development and some interesting backstory is added. The exception to that is Gracier IMO. I still think her attitude doesn't match her age or backstory and hope to see a major character development soon that will make her act her age. Now, I have a serious love-hate relationship with this MC. I love his demeanor and thought process during combat and hate his interaction with female characters. I would like to request everyone, especially people who aren't accustomed to a harem, not to drop it in chapter 1 when he pops up that knight talk. Things get more normal after that and around chapter 9 you can actually see a bit of character development. However, Till chapter 50 he is extremely dependant on his gun spirit regarding decision making which I don't like much. But I am hoping it will soon change as he gains more knowledge about the world and his power. TLDR: Socially MC is a garden-variety harem MC. In combat: He is intelligent, mature, and innovative. Writing style-wise author's first language might not be English. because there are quite a few miss-spelling and wrong word choices. I also noticed there are some discrepancies in certain stats. The good news is the author took notice of it and promised to fix it and hire an editor. So, no point in making an issue out of it. Lastly, give it a try. See how you feel reading it as every person has different tastes. However, if you love a typical harem MC, with familiar character types, this is a perfect read for you.
The concept for this story is cool but the execution just wasn't there sadly. It started out fine which minor errors in grammar but negligible. Unfortunately the relationships weren't fleshed out at all and felt forced from the start. Also the idea that the MC's gun has a mildly infuriating personality while having access to his inner thoughts irked me to no small degree. I just wish the relationships were done a little better.
author I just realised something you can try to improve on or maybe you have in later chapters since in currently at 260+. The sentences or rather the way the characters speak is too formal, sometimes it feels cringy and automated, no one speaks the way they do with so many words, the way to speak and the wordings don't feel natural. I'm very adept at English (even though I know it' may not be your first language) and the conversations feel like I'm reading a Shakespeare book most times. for example in chap 278 when Alex finds out about artemias plan to use him, what he says in reply to her question was honestly just too long with so many unnecessary words in between, it's even worse for artemias reply. You should try making the way they speak more natural, using common informal English lingo and having less words while still passing the message across. Just think about contemporary English (American/British) movies and series and ask your self, if these lines were to be acted out , would they sound off to a listener/watcher or would they sound so smooth it wouldn't even look like acting, would anyone speak this way casually with so many tedious words?. I think that'll help.
An isekai novel! This genre is my favourite. Its quite interesting how the Mc can only use guns in a fantasy world. Well this is the first time I've read a novel in first person POV. The writing quality is decent and the Author has described the thoughts of Mc very effectively. I like how the world building is done thus far. Overall a 4.8 star review for this new novel. As this is not like those typical fantasy magic novels, I recommend that readers be patient and give it a try.
I can't understand one thing is the writer's time worthless or Ours. Nearly in every chapter you get to see his full status, sometimes twice in same chapter. Writer don't you have your brain just for some point increase you write whole status window, who like to read same thing several times and also so detailed explanation about hunts and xp gain. It's a novel focus on story not numbers. Don't waste our time keep it short and simple. About the story its slow paced after reading nearly 100s of chpts my personal opinion writer is wasting words just to increase number no need for so much elaborations. Hope latter chapters are good.
author, will you be elaborating on alex's life back on earth? i think that the betrayal of his bestfriend back on earth was not developed enough. (only mentioned here and there) hence, us readers could not really feel much about the reason he became the way he is. it would be nice if that part was spared a couple of chapters to explore so that you could give alex character depth just a little.
The story is really good. The characters are well developed and the author gave us plenty of background information. However, the sentence structure tends to fall apart and the pronouns tend to get mixed up, not to mention the past or present tense in some sentences will give you a headache. And to top it off the author went the privileged chapters route after only 130 chapters.
this novel has so much potential to be too 20 at least but what separates this from the novels in that category is the writing quality, not that in itself is poor but the conversations between the characters lack depth and substance, Alex and his weapon are always teasing each other, it makes even the most serious situations loose their substance plus the teasing is honestly annoying to read and happens too frequently. the conversations between Alex and glacier is honestly too cheeky and there can be a bit of over explanation for things that are already obvious. He pace of leveling up is okay but what happens while he's leveling us is honestly quite boring, from the goblins to the ant queen, I feel like too much time was spent on those parts even though they were important bits of the story. This novel givese alot of Arifureta vibes, infact the similarities are way too much for this not to have been inspired by that. Another thing is that the kids take their death too lightly🙂, no one just dies , goes to a new world and boom they're previous life doesn't matter. none of them cried for their family they left behind or stuff like that which should be normal for kids their age. thats why I said the novel lacks depth. It's fun to read no doubt and it has interesting elements to keep readers interested especially because of the use of common isekai troupes. but this novel will never reach top 30 if it doesn't improve on its character depth and realism. Alex gave glacier his mother's name and the next day he's already called her Alexandra. he's been calling her glacier for like 2 weeks and all of a sudden even without asking her if it was okay to call her something else, or she asking him why the name change. it just happens like we the readers are supposed to just go with it but realistically you don't just change the way you call someone and they themselves don't question it or react. of course I know this is fiction but you can't abitrarily throw away realistic elements from it. that's one of the many interactions between MC and support MC that makes this novels quality subpar to novels like Supreme Magus. I hope the author sees this and understands where I'm coming from. I'm fan of this word and I've read over 150 chaps so far
