I Was a Sword When I Reincarnated (WN) Chapter v3 Discussion

Read the light novel, so opinions might differ

If you ask me what I thought at the beginning, I'd say this was boring as hell. Dude reincarnates as a sword, and goes around grinding a lot. We don't get any reason as to why he's a sword or why he reincarnates there, although we might find out later. It's been three volumes and not much has changed so you'll probably have to find out way later.

I dropped it because I couldn't get into it even after all the pointless grinding in the beginning. He meets a s*ave girl and saves her, and like a lot of light novels, of course this first girl he meets is going to become an important character that the MC will keep helping and make them stronger (How not to summon a Demon Lord, Skeleton Knight, Demon Lord Retry!) for no reason other than the fact they're "super nice". I don't understand why these MCs don't have any goal other than just helping out a bunch of girls. (Not that that's bad but it's 3 volumes of a sword just helping out a girl for no reason at all)

The plot doesn't change much even after three novels, MC and the girl just go around a lot, and they're very op and whatnot but the girl gets underestimated a lot just because she's op and it's kind of infuriating how often the author adds this in. It doesn't happen as much as Average Abilities, but at least the girl ranks up unlike the girls in that book.

Overall 3/5 because it's still kind of interesting to see a talking sword, but really I'd recommend you to read the Spider isekai or Overlord over this if you want an interesting skill system and better world building.
