The setting of the world intrigued me. I like this kind of story lately. Isekai mob with no cheats but knowledge of the world yada yada all that. Dark depressing world setting like any other isekai. To me any isekai with monsters whether it be fantasy or any other genre it is a depressing world actually. It is more depend on whose view. If the MC is bottom of the tier, we can see the depressing world view but if the MC is someone strong and up there then it might be some generic isekai.My first thought of the MC is he is not human enough. He does not feel like a human. There is no relatability between me as a reader and the MC. Not like a life long servant relatability like that but as a person. He is toyed with people around him but there is no anger. He is not mad at the game itself. He just like this is depressing game world blah blah unnecessary information not contribute to the progression of the story and then he be like I just trying to survive. Then go kill the bad guy. Don't just be like I still have morals. I don't know why but when reading the MC dialogue I can't imagine the emotion he is having. Especially the monologue is not a monologue most of the time but more like info dump.The info dump not contributing to the story progression itself. Half of the most chapters is describing unnecessary things. If you want to tell a character background, tell them just that. No need for the reasons why her background is like that. The story itself is becoming monotonous. MC get into some big event beyond his abilities, he fought with tricks and yada yada, he got very serious injuries that could kill him, he won but then he lose then FML come to the rescue and one shot everything, MC fainted, woke up and talking and volume ends all the while most of the female leads know what is happening to him and the reasons because they want him to be worthy of them yada yada.I actually don't like how the author remind the reader that the MC isekaid into depressing dark game many many times.The fighting scene is not that bad because I can imagine and see how most of the fighting scene with move to move description of the fight. The description of characters is sufficient enough. But there is something I thought lacking in the fight itself. This is a story of youkai and exorcist but where is the talisman technique in the fight? I don't know if this is because I'm still early into the story but I hope it will appear further into it. Well 3 stars from.The story is so-so at best for me.
