A lot of negatives review about this novel is the Infodump appear quite a lot especially on early chapters. This can make reader bored on the novel and don't even bother to continue it. This is legit critisism, and the author really try to fix it on a chapter 90 or above. Even on the LN the infodump is reduced significantly.Some may say the infodump is necessary to the novel since it can make us understand the story, the gravity of the situation, etc.For example:Spoiler
There is when the author really explaining the gravity of the situation with 5000 refugee, from the food, water, sanitation, public safety and why the characters in the story so burdened with it. Most of us, except for those who works in Military or Public Service cannot comprehend the "5000" number of people and all the problem that come with it.
Or one time when explaining the advantageous position during the warfare when riding a horse.
Or why there is rarely a scientific advancement in this world, etc.
Those all infodump, including the one not mentioned here, at least for me, making the character thinking and decision in the story make sense for a normal in a peaceful country citizen like me.
[collapse]Can the author do better on the infodump by "Showing not Telling"? Probably.BUT if you TRY to speedread all the infodump, which is easier since the translator gave a heads up about the infodump, you found a story about a character that try so hard to be not dead against demon invasion, and the politic, intrigue, strategy, logistic, war, action, and the others that follow it.Unlike other reincarnation story, whose story start from when the MC is still a kid, this story really start at the beginning of the "Game" Story, the demon invasion. For me this is a good things since it really skip the boring school life and the "Training Arc" that comes with it and the novel can goes on to the main course of the story..I guess my only problem is, the story on how being MC become "Friends" with the hero is mentioned only 1 chapters. Some may find it lacking the emotion, some may find it simplifying so the story can move on to the main plot. It really depends on the reader itself.
