This novel is really frustrating. I will only say that you have to have a very masochistic spirit to read it. This is the first review I've done on this site, and I'm doing it only because I feel like I have to do it, you'll see... the novel, as such, speaking of interest, yes, it can be considered interesting. A rather strange but curious plot for an Isekai, but, just the carefully of the novel, that is, the enormous stagnation that he has, is the protagonist Practically, the protagonist is not favored by the author. He just goes through extremely irrational situations, and while one would expect his psyche to improve after so much hardship, well it doesn't. Not only does he not do it, he doesn't show to do it. The novel has many volumes, more than 20 I think, and are you telling me that it is 20 volumes of personal growth and development of the protagonist? NO! Not f*cking!So the thing is, it's very frustrating to read for some people, no, for most people. In fact, the anime is more passable because at least when you watch it you feel that the plot is advancing, but the novel? Of course no, In any case, it is shown that the growth shown is not directly proportional to what it should have with so much suffering. We don't want it to be the OP lead that all the girls have, but at least, it is expected that in some situation the protagonist will emerge victorious without having to do something embarrassing both for the direct audience and for others. and there are many people who think that because the protagonist fails, and makes mistakes, this is a realistic novel, and let me tell you this in advance as an old reader, it is not so. Rezero is a novel by fantasy, and not only because the setting is fantasy or otherworldly, but also because the protagonist's reactions, thoughts, development, and capacity to it are fanciful and unrealistic. throughout the entire novel. Sorry if this has spelling mistakes, it turns out that I am writing it in Spanish with Google Translate so that it comes out in English. Oh, lastly, I read a review of a friend talking about how great this novel was, and the truth is that I do not take away his ideas or thoughts, nor do I despise them, but I admit that by saying that one loses his life reading Arifureta it shows that both his reason and his judgment is a big ball of shit. Arifureta may be a light novel full of plot holes, which I'm not even aware of, and may be a cliché of Isekai from protagonist OP who gets the girls, as well as having a disastrous anime adaptation, but... at least for me and Thousands of others, it's a Light Novel 500, 000 times better than Rezero, more readable, more enjoyable, and more entertaining. And I don't even want to touch you with the second part, Arifureta After, which is practically something that no novel has ever done. Isekai's lightest so far. Anyway, Rezero is good to watch, and he entertains you, but he frustrates you more than he entertains you. And Arifureta, as well as Arifureta After, are a masterpiece and highly entertaining. That's all.
