Many individuals suddenly find themselves in a vast, white void where a deity-like entity informs them they are to be reincarnated into an isekai known as Tesla. Each person is allocated a set number of points to distribute among various attributes such as race and abilities, which will shape their new lives in Tesla. The narrative centers on a young boy who is reincarnated alongside his former clanmates from an MMORPG. They decide to stick together and specialize in different skills, much like they did in the game. While his companions and others seem strangely accepting of their new reality, the boy remains skeptical and opts to go his own way. Instead of specializing as a healer, he chooses to become a well-rounded adventurer. As he leisurely explores life in Tesla, he begins to uncover hints that there may be more to their reincarnation than meets the eye. This original manga delves into his journey and discoveries.
Very run of the mill. It had some interesting elements at the start but they weren't/haven't been explored which leaves you with a fairly generic isekai. Apart from the aforementioned undeveloped plot elements the only other thing that sets it even a little apart is that the MC isn't particularly overpowered (so far anyway). Unfortunately the translation quality falls of a cliff in later chapters. Aggressively average overall. I will say some of the other reviewers complaints are a little weird. It's strange to complain that the MC isn't assertive when the initial chapters, and several later ones, frequently and explicitly outline the MC's main character flaws which are a) lack of self esteem, b) being overly cautious and c) overthinking things. Literally nothing in the text, from the actions shown to the MC's explicit soliloquys suggests hes assertive.
See PZcolo's review from August 2022. Pretty much sums it up, well.
I don't know what the reviwer below me was reading, (Edit: or the reviewer above, since the one below is objectively wrong about many of the supposed facts regarding the story) but after 30 chapters there is no romance, there are more male characters than female (all friends) that the MC gets to know. And most of the girls show no romantic interest in the MC.
I don't know what they mean by "obsessive characters" (plural) as there is literally only one background character who goes too far (and gets obsessive) over information the MC has, but that's it. I don't know of one situation that was forced, other than the aforementioned background character obsessing over a method of obtaining a certain material that could change the entire city's economy
So there's one questionably written scene.
And if by "overly cliched" he means "a story where the MC goes adventuring" then sure, the MC goes on an adventure and the smaller plot points lead to larger ones with foreshadowing involved so things make sense.
Treasure Island is cliche then. Lord of the Rings is cliche then. Any kind of adventure is cliche under the standards set by the reviewer below me.
And that's odd because I've seen their reviews many times on other stories and, even though we don't always agree on the quality, this is the first one I'd call a bad take. Maybe they were just having an off day?
This story is no classic that will be revered for anything, but it's kind of a breath of fresh air in the Isekai genre. Kind of.
The settings and clothing feel pretty same-y, and so does the design of some of the characters, but not in a bad way.
The MC is not supposed to be assertive, and the story makes it clear he actually has issues with overthinking things and loneliness. That's part of his character. And his race (quarter-angel) being compatible with rare, mostly forgotten, abilities that most people would think are from old fairy tales, don't help, because he can't spam them when with other people, leaving him to use less useful abilities when in the company of others. People selling spell books look at him sideways for buying "broken" spell books.
Also, as an adventurer, the MC actually joins and leaves parties because of his want to explore the world and not get tied down to one place.
It's like if all the traditional ingredients for a soup are there, but the person making it is a very capable chef who isn't quite good enough to become famous for it. You get really good soup that stands out, but not so much you feel the need to go back over and over for it.
Better than a lot, does something fresh with something generic, and has its own charm.
After 29ch, I gave up on this one, another shallow isekai for harem loving teens/otakus. Unless you like harem, obsessive chars, forced situations and a overly cliche story, I wouldn't recommend this one.
The start of the story is good enough, variations of it have been seen many times but I always prefer the guy that decides to go his own way after being summoned over the ones that get carried along with the story, and, being able to break free from the mind control not only puts a spin on it but also justifies why so people don't question their situation. Unfortunately, after that it's just the MC going around knowing girls, sometimes adventuring with them, sometimes being forced by them and sometimes saving some (obviously). There are some good moments here and there but funnily enough so far they coincide with when he's dungeoning alone.
Character-wise, MC is supposed to be smart and assertive yet soon we find him getting dragged into different kind of situations for no real reason. The girl that I think is the FL (or one of them) was interesting but then the author just blows her back story out of proportion and she seems to go yandere (just my guess, not a spoiler).
Art is decent but nothing great, pace is ok and dialogues are rather mundane, nothing special either way.
Overall, a rather mediocre isekai story. With so many other versions of this, this one is rather forgettable.
