At first, I found reading Arifureta to be a bit of a slog mainly cause I feel that the plot is so-so.But as I continued to push myself to finish reading, I found that the real charm of this series is the character interactions/expressions/reactions. Or more to the point. My imagination of them. The way the author describes them is vivid enough that I can almost see them. It's to the point, that it's almost an anime (which I've found out is actually coming out soon!).Thus, I give this novel a 4/5 rating (would have gotten 5/5 if the overall plot, that I've read so far, was actually engaging). It's super rare for novels to have this impact on me, as I've read. Countless. And I mean, COUNTLESS amounts of novels and only about 10% (if that), give me that kind of feeling.EDIT (04-04-19) : Okay, so I've continued reading to latest TL'd chapters and I've got to say that they're a fun read. I've lost count the amount of times I've laughed. If I had to make a complaint, it's the lack of chronological order of the mini-arcs/side story's. The time line is all over the place. I still stick by my 4/5 rating though.
