Okay, first off this has spoilers.This story is AVERAGE. Don't get me wrong, it's quite a good story to lose yourself if you have time but it isn't great or anything. It's a missmatch of other novels/animes trying to create something but still doesn't feel "Right" when you reach the end.It doesn't have worldbuilding at all, everything feels rushed and "sudden". The world itself is broken in my opinion, it literally has buggs that WORK in real life for the MC and the explanations are subpar and always to blame as "just like in the game!". Yet sometimes it decides to "not be like the game at all!" on the most smallest and less important things. How come the buggs that are made to make the life of MC a cake walk work in "real life" but minor things like characters or items that should had existed, don't and some things like the lore of spirits or feelings and their life are inmediatly push aside because MC just cares about "reaching 1# fast".Like something that should had been know beforehand or at minimum mentioned and in fact you didn't even know existed but it suddenly is an important fact, like the Church country or the empire... they literally never existed till they had problems against those countries in specific. Towns are non-important, they are created along the way, so are countries and dungeons.The powerlevels are all over the place. Whats that? Clear a low level dungeon alone? With three people? Never hear before! But don't they have "tittle holders"? Those guys after seeing the interactions with the main characters seem to be able to solo most dungeons by themselves, hell a rank A adventurer even MADE IT to the boss room of a dungeon alone with her spirit and she is... what? 17? 16? Yet MC was the one everyone was amased because HE did some small lvl dungeon easily? It's confusing as hell how the world works.Can't help but find SOME comparison to some other novels or animes but that is something nice to have, so long as they are DIFFERENT or just "cameos".The love/harem is one-dimensional and boring. It's "just there", there is never any interaction that would had raised their relationship yet the girls are all over the MC. Yes, he has the "handsome face that I brough with real money!" but the girls, all of them fall for him because he saved/helped/berate them.... it's like all of them all virg*n girls who fall for the first one knight to help them or have a submissive fetish which seems an insult to actual females and for those here for "Romance".But, at the end of the day that is with EVERYONE but one character, Yukari. The dark elf and later her spirit are the only ones that have ACTUAL romance with actual situations in which you can see how she loves the MC and how she keeps falling deeper in love with him. Her spirit literally has the SAME mentality that our MC has and is constantly in conflict with her summoner because she hates it when she flirts with MC so she cuts her INMEDIATLY if she even thinks she is flirting with him, which is nice in my opinion. She has the backstory to have an actual reason to has fallen with MC and the love grows as the story advances.... and most of all, they fuc*ed. Off screen but they did.Another fact is how MC has the god damn King of Spirits as his summon yet it barely seemed to make waves in the world, literally no one cares or gave a damn about it because everyone gets surprised by him... even after having SUMMONED him in front of an audience of 200+ people with spies among them.Ugh, there are SO MANY flaws and plotholes that it hurts but that is what to expect from a story of an isekai into a game in which the BUGGS from the game world... WORK in reality with no explanation!MC decides to su*cide after loosing his main character in a game was the biggest problem with me, it made me so god damn angry yet at the same time it feels like a "joke" towards japanese people and their high rates of su*cide that they even have a "su*cide forest" in which a youtuber even found a body first day after entering it and created a whole debacle and backlash because he made fun of it and showed it on youtube. It makes me angry personally because I once HAD to help a family member stop another one from doing so with a gun when I was like 11, to hear that person crying and saying they just want it to end as you try to pull their arm with the gun away from their head but barely feel like you are doing anything. This MC was pure garbage from the start but that is not just bias.MC is one of the worse types that exist and plague most "modern" isekais. He is someone who was number 1 in a game, lose his position so life doesn't have meaning anymore so he su*cides. Somehow he gets his wish and yet he treats the world as a game, he treats relationships as part of the game too, and he treats life as a game once more. "Killing? It doesn't matter, this is a game for me!" is what it boils down to after some chapters. MC has a one track mind of wishing to reach number 1 but most of the time he cares about things like making big waves but other times it's fine to do big waves? Political backlash? Oh no, that is bothersome!... ten chapters later it is reversed. Political backlash? Meh, I'm the number 1 in the world! Bring it!.MC gives 0 damn about people and only "uses them" but somehow everyone things he is the gift from god himself, hell he gives LIFE ADVICE to people, and it feels so very wrong from a ret*rd like him who forsake his life for so little to give LIFE ADVICE.MC goes against the logic of generals, actual mages of the world and other people who by all means should have better understanding of "Real life battles" with his "game strategist from the game!" ignoring the fact that this is "Real life" and fights or wars should be DIFFERENT.It still boogles my mind that this dude can go to high level dungeons and soloed them... alone, yes he is overleved but we NEVER get information on how much because all they talk about is their skills and their grades. What kind of backward ass of a game must he had been the number one off... if he can "break" such a game so easily? It makes no sense to me, it feels like a bad gacha and he su*cide because of it. Anko is the biggest middle finger that this world could had been given to MC, his only "real" challenge that he soloed and even tamed. Learns about how there is something like god controlling monsters but shruggs and ignores it completely instead of asking more questions because he only cares about reaching number 1.Exp and stats are never explained. It feels like they are normal people till one time he tried to slap a girl but he is so stronk that she was send flying and lose conciousness.... hell some people are even HURT by hitting him by their difference in stats but it is never explained HOW MUCH his actual power is till it is important and even then we barely get a glance because "he got hurt by our different in stats" and nothing more.MC cut down the tittle holders with no effort many times and doesn't even seem to care about that fact even knowing they are tittle holders.Some characters should be made of cardbox material... they literally are just there just to exist, even cardboard has more personality and emotional grow than them. They did my poor Eko dirty, she is worse than cardboard, she just exist to make childrish noises, like some sort of annoying companion that does nothing but say random stuff outlout every so often to make you remember they exist.On the positive side:The translation is TOPNOTCH, it is amazing and doesn't feel at ALL that it was done by machine or something similar. It's quite nice to see really.It's.... quite nice to read once you learn to ignore the "Flaws", or by knowing it is a wihfulfilment but it isn't great or anything. It's calming because you know there will be NO struggle or drama... it's the equivalent of Playing Animal Crossing after hours of non-stop League of Legends toxicity to calm your nerves.In resume?Now, with all negatives aspects of the story, it is just me pointing out how MUCH better it could had been but will probably be ignored because this is a WISHFULFILMENT of the HIGHER ORDER.There is no need for drama or worldbuilding or even actual really worked on characters because at the end of the day it's the story of a dude getting to number 1 easily by using actual real world hacks/buggs. There are WORSE stories out there, but this one is just a "meh", an average read with nothing really positive but all negative aspects can be ignored completely by the fact that is wishfulfilment. This story isn't a struggle to be the number 1, it isn't grim or dark, it doesn't have common sense or sense at all... it's just a wishfulfilment in which everything goes well for MC. Makes more money than the royal family? No one cares or crashes the market. Makes nine mansions covering most of a "Zone" close to the capital even after being flagged as a "prince from another nation" in the school? No one even wonders how dangerous having such lavish mansion that can be actually used as fortress or danger to the country he is in.He gets the KING OF SPIRITS? People are amazed but no one talks about it so everyone is always surprised about him. He has LIGHTING MAGIC, something NO ONE HAS in this world? Nope, no one cares and it doesn't even makes waves at all nor does anyone he meets knows about it. He creates chaos in the capital after the king was assasinated and he was blamed? Nope, still people from outside the country and even IN the country don't even mention or know his identity even after he gives a name. Adventurers guild will create problems for me? Never even mention them again after chapter 20 or so, they existed for like 10 chapters and were throw into the forgotten pit.Wishfulfilment, in which nothing makes sense and everything goes well for the MC with no struggle, drama and has girls literally dripping wet even if he doesn't interact with them (idle talk chapters of the school). Good read if bored and nothing else to read, not recommended for those that want a more serious story.
