Clearing an Isekai with the Zero-Believers Goddess – The Weakest Mage among the Classmates (WN) Chapter 267 Discussion

I just created this account to make a review of this novel. Please bear with my grammar and spelling mistakes if there are any.

This story is a MASTERPIECE

So this novel may at the start, give off the impression of a cliche JP novel where the MC has the weakest stats and then gets thrown off by his classmates in a forest or dungeon then goes to have a revenge trip. It’s not like that. It’s much, much better

Our main character here is not overpowered Spoiler

but he will be with some conditions

[collapse] I think its entirely normal to be indecisive about these things about romance and who to pick among them since he likes them all.

After that is his abilities. I’m quite dissapointed at the most liked review here because you can see just how much they love cheat powers with one hit ko matches. I personally like it much better when they utilize all of their iq in trying to figure out how to defeat the enemy. If you come here expecting to see that, gtfo cause you won’t enjoy this. His abilities are weak but given the right conditions they are strong. The opposite is also true given that putting him in a situation with no water or desert and instantly becomes the weakest. His reaction speed and agility are the slowest and only his magic compensates for it. He didn’t get strong by recieving his abilities tho. He has to continuously work hard and he trains like a maniac day and night so that he wouldn’t be left out in the party. He defeats his opponent with sheer luck and help of others which only proves his immense reliance on others. Spoiler

His main ability which is spirit magic is unique in the sense that its extremely hard to use. Its mainly relies on the proficiency of the user to use it properly. Unlike other magic, you also need to fulfill conditions such as the area where you’re fighting, whether the spirits are in the mood to lend you their strength, if the enemy is a Titan or a Holy God. There are lot of things to consider which balances out its OPness.

[collapse] His victories in the fights may seem to be because of plot armor but it isn’t. He’s just utilizing his resources and abilties properly, thinking of unique ways and strategies to win. You think sacrificing your lifespan or getting nearly killed using others’ mana is plot armor? It ain’t so much as plot armor as it is luck. He’s just extremely lucky. The substantial power growth you’re looking for will happen only later on in the story.

The side characters here are not like mob characters which you forget the next arc. They feel realistic and act realistic just like how normal people do. The members of the harem fell in love with him with plot that makes sense unlike other novels where the heroine falls in love by being saved and blushes when called cute. They have understandable reasons to like him. The goddess is cunning and her actions adds spice to the mystery. The best friend is nice and smart as well. He doesn’t rely on MC and is not just there because of plot.

The story doesn’t just revolve around the MC where nothing changes even after a year. It’s cohesive and just makes sense. Other complaints I have seen is that the RPG components of the game, namely the level, power, etc. Are not explained. The thing is, why do you still need to show that if the MC doesn’t use his other stats? He only relies on his proficiency since his stats aside from it, as explained in the novel, don’t go up. No matter how much he trains his body, his strength will still be the same. The leveling system loses its purpose if it doesn’t show any changes which is why only the proficiency is shown.

Next is character development. So given the words itself, our MC develops right? The thing is, expecting him to change immediately is abnormal. I’ve seen comments here where they complain about how he acts so beta and the thing is, they will be resolved later in the story. Spoiler

You complained about him being indecisive regarding his harem? Worry not cause he will accept them all later! You worried about him not making a move on the girls? Worry not as he will intentionally grope their b**bs later.

[collapse] Like would you at least try to read and PROPERLY COMPREHEND half of the story before saying that it doesn’t make sense.

That’s just my main points regarding this because I’ve been irritated at others who read this and didn’t understand the story. That’s just your problem. Spoiler

btw I’ve been reading the rest of the story at JPMTL which has like bullsh*t translation and I can still follow the story

[collapse] This novel is a definitely a banger for those looking for novels with interesting plot.

P.s. The translation of this novel by Reigokai is superb and he uploads fast consistently and I just want to say ty for translating this. I might not have ever discovered this gem if not for you and ty for that. Best wishes for you :)
