2/5 - D Tier - It's not trying to be grand, and that's okayFor the type of story that it is, it does its job well. A laid back adventure while managing a dungeon, nothing overbearing nor grand.The narration always feels a tad bit off. It's like the MC seems to know that there are readers reading his life so he tries to give information on things that only that thought would bring about. Aside from that small pet peeve, the story itself is narrated well enough that you should have little problem reading or understanding things. E.i The novel is generally written and translated well--save for some minor word flow problems.I take minimal issue with the first three chapters having been nothing more than dumps of info. If you weren't reading with the thought that the story would start, they would be terrible as beginning chapters.The MC has a 'personality'. That's really what he chalks up to, his personality is about as unique as the rest of the MCs of most novels like this. Of course, for a story that's doing what it does, I suppose it's perfectly fine that way. It is a 'fill in' type of story after all. Being bland is almost a must.If you're looking for epic action, this story is obviously not for you.If you're looking for convoluted, intrinsic, or clever plotlines, this story is not for you.The dialogue is what you would expect from a story like this, just the same with the romance and harem. However, each character does, thankfully, have their own personality--no matter how gimmicky they may seem. [Lefy is the best character, appearance, and personality-wise. She's basically a glorified neet.]The magic system in the story is primarily based on imagination, I wonder if one could create a nuke if they understood the science of it? I see this as the more interesting bit of the story.The story isn't trying to be grand, it knows its strengths and faults, and that's okay. It does what it's supposed to, given the type of novel it is; it is a relaxing read, nothing more, nothing less.
