Clearing an Isekai with the Zero-Believers Goddess – The Weakest Mage among the Classmates (WN) Chapter 325 Discussion

Aside from the overall rating, I would like to rate this novel part by part.

1. The 1st part, the introduction, is great. The world setting, protagonist's circumstance and the ideas are not the newest thing you've seen, but the way the Author put it made it interesting to read. The harem is good. The big minus here is the way the protagonist grew strong. Spoiler

Basically, he just practiced with some children in a village, then got liked by the Spirits for some unknown reason, and boom, he got the ability to use Spirit magic. I know the protagonist is a hard-working person, but the progress has to be unique in some way, so that the readers won't have questions pop up in their mind, such as "He just trains like that, and that's all? Is he the only hard-working person in that world? Why do the Spirits like him?" and so on.

[collapse] For this part, I rate it 4/5

2. The 2nd part is about the development of the story. The battles are great, but the world system which was well-built in the 1st part was neglected, the interraction between people is weird, and romance part is intolerable. Spoiler

• The level system was nowhere to be seen, and the protagonist started to use some skills that you have never heard before. His level, or the level of any other characters out there, were not even mentioned. About the skills, where and when did he get those skills? Some may say from the Spirit, but even if it is true, he would use it just like that? No condition except for high efficiency, no nothing?
• The interraction part. You are a hero who traveled back to the past to save the day, and when you come back, the royalty of some countries do not show any respect to you at all. Does that make sense? Even if we don't mention the hero acts, that's not the appropriate way to treat the one who can directly communicate with Goddesses, whom they worthship. Imagine that your generations have been worshiping a Goddess, now a person who can literally talk to that Goddess appears, and you just "Hey shut up. You're not the Hero anymore".
• The romance part, in which you would rarely feel any pink aura from them. Clear Mind is reasonable, but even when it was not activated, parts of the novel that describe how the protagonist actually feel about them were actually really rare. The kissing part was the farthest phase that they have reached, for like 2 years? And the interruption that suddenly pops up EVERY SINGLE TIME they are about to advance further is just merely annoying. One time, 2 times, it was fun. But it was repeated like a thousand times. C'mmon, I don't need pages of detailed ecchi scenes. Just some lines that describe the development of their relationship is fine. For example: "They spent the night together. Makoto gave his princess all the love she wants". That's should be enough.

I rate 2.5/53. The 3rd part is the current part, where it is more focused on the next battle. Spoiler

And possibly the final battle. They fight to prevent the world from being controlled and filled with fake peace.

[collapse] The story is actually great so far, which may help the reader to forgive the issues in the 2nd part. 5/5 so far for this part.

Overall, I rate it 4, as it could have been better. Still, this novel is great overall, and I would highly recommend it. Just put up with the 2nd part, and you're good to go.
