Personally, I think the previous review was a bit harsh on the MC. So I'm going to write a review since there is a lack of them.This isn't a spoiler since you get the main premise just in the prologue and small details like skills pop up very early on. The MC is crazy about a game. This game is crazy hard to play bc the controls are wonky, but the storyline is great. He makes many characters and plays through them all since the ending of the game changes based on the specs of the character and the choices that are made throughout the game. This probably contributes to the MC lack of knowledge of what character specs he's entered when he's Isekai. He knows enough that he knows his specs are crap when he wakes up. He wasn't given any special abilities or anything. I suspect, and it's hinted at, that he went into 'god mode' play. Dropping him off in the middle of the Choas Forest with nothing but a loincloth and sh*t specs.He spends a few years in the forest. He doesn't go 'crazy' exactly like the other review states. He gains an ability called frenzy. When he's at the point where he's going to die he loses consciousness and wakes up with the area messed up. While this skill keeps him alive he's well aware of the drawbacks. I don't think this is 'crazy' necessarily. It's mentioned in the first few paragraphs that he's going to use his instincts to kick ass and that dialogue isn't needed to know who that shitty people are. He'll likely run around kicking noble or politician ass. In the first few paragraphs, it mentions that the countries are at odds with each other and that the age of heros was long over. So this adds to my suspicion that he's going to go around smacking down corrupt politicians.Once you get a bit further into the story and he meets people and he tried to communicate with them, you see moments when he intentionally keeps quiet instead of protesting with his one-word comeback. He recognizes the people from the game. There are some moments when he's frustrated by the lack of communication and there are moments when he uses that lack deliberately. I think this is so that the story can play out better in the long run. He's not crazy or s*upid, but frustrated and calculating. Now my biggest gripe is the Bear Grylls fanboying down by the author. The translator even makes note that there is an issue with hyping up Bear Grylls so much. Still, while I dislike Bear Grylls with a passion the story itself isn't really affected by it. Just as a note about how he knows enough about survival to survive in the forest bc he watched a lot of Bear Grylls and knows about the game. Unrealistic, but hell it's isekai.
