It's your classic plot start with the protagonist being absurdly weaker than everyone else, including even the residents of the isekai world. Yet, there is no shitty plot of friends abandoning him, betrayal, rookie bullying etc. that you usually see. The title doesn't really describe the novel very well, for now, it isn't the main plot point. The story is pretty slice of lifey, but it doesn't get boring like similar stories I've read before because it doesn't keep repeating itself, it always makes sure to introduce new things before it gets stale. The romance doesn't seem to have much development so far pretty disappointingly (I'm a sucker for romance), but the elf girl in the cover is pretty cute. Anyway, it has the sudden power-up tag but he doesn't really get the cliche OP powerups (especially those in the middle of battles), he just slowly develops himself and has clear strengths and weaknesses that he slowly tries to shore up. The author seems to be building up some serious plot in the background regarding the goddess but it probably will take a long time before that is actually relevant. By the way, there are humans 'bad guys' in the novel because well what world doesn't have people with malicious intentions? They aren't really big plot points so you don't have to worry about them though. Finally, the translator is great, frequent posts and high quality, so there's no need to worry about those. Overall, at least give it a try, doesn't hurt to do at least that.Edit: Oh I forgot to mention the most important thing, thanks to his clear-headed skill, MC doesn't act like a 'beta cuck' that I know you guys hate and doesn't waste chapters panicking (this is a godsend especially at the beginning, no more useless exposition about an isekai world that we all already know about) when encountering danger, being approached by women etc.Edit 2 at c219: Honestly I'm quite disappointed, I came back after all this time, but I feel like the more I read, the more the story goes downhill. My major problem is how romance is handled in this novel. I really feel like after joining his harem every character loses their unique traits and becomes the classic braindead harem members. Not only that but the author spends too many chapters describing the MC getting blue-balled by his harem members and it got tiring after the 2nd time... I swear this was mentioned hundreds of times by now. Like seriously, just get it over and done with and stop writing filler with it. Also, I really felt that Princess Sofia was such a ridiculous character. Her personality did a complete 180 flip in ONE chapter because he synchronised with her??? That's not character development but rather just bad writing. Other than that hmm, I feel like the action scenes weren't really that intense as they should be. It was fine in the beginning when he was just fighting some small fry, but when a whole city is at stake, and it still doesn't really feel that intense it's kind of a problem. Overall I suppose it's good for passing the time but I wouldn't read this expecting a masterpiece. P.S. I pity those people that read up to c200+ and are still saying the female heroines are well written, for they have surely never seen a well-written romance...
