Clearing an Isekai with the Zero-Believers Goddess – The Weakest Mage among the Classmates (WN) Chapter 121 Discussion

I am making a review here because it seems like most of low rating reviews are actually a bad reviews.

Why? Because they don't even read that much.

Most of them stopped at around chapter 40, and their reasons are always "oh-so-bad world-building, AI characters, story plots etc"... some of them even said his skills are totally useless and didn't do sh*t at all lol.

I wondered if they even read this novel properly or they just skimmed through it.

Unlike most people in that world, MC's skill are not combat-related, it is more to utility-related. And the RPG choice that he always get,

Spoiler

is actually really important because the decision he make among those choices will determine his future, as expected right? But even with that our lives revolve on making choices, so whats the use of that skill then, right? Well yeah, rather than just for choice, that skill only shows up when an event that might change his life forever will shows up. So rather than the choices, that skill is an indicator that something will happens if he make different choice.

"I've read all the reviews for this and funnily enough, only the 5 starts reviews mention anything about revenge story, none of the low star ones do. The low star reviews focus on bad world building, especially when it comes to the power system, on the characters being badly written, on incoherences, on how generic the novel is and on how strong and convenient the plot armor is."

You read all the reviews, yes, but you didn't even read even a quarter of the novels and yet you judge a novel's world-building is bad, and it's power system is especially bad???

It seems you didn't really read the novel, so of course you didn't know that

Spoiler

the truth of the power system is hidden by the holy god because they're afraid of the old titan gods.

In fact, from my understanding, the level itself isn't the real answer of how strong someone is, because the soul book can be manipulated by the gods.

Even if you have low stat, with good proficiency you can be good at fine control and so even if have even worse stat than a baby, you can still win with spirits.

World building is bad?

Spoiler

World building isn't that bad, it just the story mostly revolves around MC, most of the time event that MC didn't know of happening already happened. That indicates that even though the story revolve around MC, the world didn't do the same. Regardless of what MC does, the world still revolve around the place he didn't see. That is one of the indicator of a good world building.

MC have sh*t stats but suddenly plot armor kick in and he suddenly become op? MC is dense?

Spoiler

nope nope. I guess those who said something along this lines should really reread again because MC still weak, he just really great at abusing a flaw in the system, that is the kind of gamer he used to be after all.. a normal gamer will play normally, a pro gamer will train fcking seriously, but a veteran gamer will just ab*se the bugs in the system to easily win the game. This is probably the reason why he didn't get any cheat power, because if he got tr*sh skills, but average amount of mana, he will still top the game using his godly Proficiency. Oh and lets not forget how MC is actually not as dense as other typical generic MC. In fact, his denseness is actually close to real. That's how normal people, that's how me, actually thought what people around me will be thinking about me. Even in real life, you probably won't know if some girls actually got crush on you if they don't confess to you. You might have a feeling that they like you, but you might try not to think too much of it because you don't want to be a stuck up.

Convenient plot armor?

Spoiler

not really. In this novels it seems like every character became who they are because of their own circumstances. For example, snake church believer, they became so fanatic because of how oppressed and desperate they are. The seemingly villain heroe (of fire country) actually have their own stories of why he became so arrogant and why he hates other heroes so much (because duh, his fiancee got NTR'd from him, legally at that)

The dragon coming up when MC and his girl party is being ganged up by thugs?

Spoiler

He tried to play it easy and he didn't actually believe that those people will answer him nicely even if he apologized, which he did. He is being calm because he is in the dungeon, and dungeon is always overflowing with spirits. So he probably could fight them off with magic even if he has a low stat. So why panic and go on being a mu*derer? The dragon being coincidentally there is a good grace because he didn't need to dirty his hand.

And even if this novel contains plot armor, it isn't as cliche as some other stories. Because in this novel, the author seems to know quite good deals about relationship.

How? Well every single person in this novels seems like have their own way of thinking. For example, how Yakuza in fire country is actually not as bad as people make them out to be, and how their leader have his own stories of how he became like that now. MC just stumbled upon the relationship, in which will help him later on. Thats how life is.

All in all, this novel is pretty light, but still contains mysteries of that world.

Don't be a jerk who read only around 40 short chapters and already judging it bad. It is one thing if each chapter is long, but each chapter of this novel contains a measly amount of words. I can probably finish that 40 chapters in not more than an hour, seriously.

Shout out to Reigokai who translate pretty decently and damn in stable release date.
