I don't understand the hate this particular light novel receives. Yes, it follows the generic template for a Japanese isekai light novel. It probably does so for a reason. My guess, as a published author, is that you won't get your isekai light novel published in Japan unless it actually falls some what into the template of what a Japanese isekai story is supposed to be.Getting publish can actually be pretty darn hard, no matter what genre, so as an author you tend to play by the rules until you get well known enough to not have to play by the rules any longer.This is not the best light novel ever written, nor is it the worst. The translation is not the worst either. The story is pretty generic, the writing is about on par for the genre. I still enjoy it enough that I've read the chapters thus far. Personally I read Japanese light novels when I go to work, or shall I say when I used to be able to go to work. Stories like these are about light enough for the occasion.I mean, you are definitely reading the wrong genre if you expect nobel prize winning writing, if you do then google "list of nobel prize winners authors" and go crazy, otherwise, when reading a Japanese isekai, expect a Japanese isekai...
