TLDR; this novel is intriguingly good! But, for argument sake.... let's get in depth.This novel tell a story about one non-hero individual within the long-been established gaming-fantasy world. At fist I mistook the premise, getting the impression that protagonist would somehow be overpowered.... being the Hero's teacher as he is... turned out, the premise itself is but a bait.The characters was not so memmorable or striking... The MC was rather simple minded and honest (seemingly passive-reactive to the plot flow). Side characters a.k.a friends was kinda friend-ish. Villain is mildly interesting: author gave purpose but their behavior is cliche. And the heroine is, I condone she's a lil bit interesting than the bunch.And like that we know that apparently, the protagonistSpoiler
is not overpowered at all.
[collapse] Story progressed rather slow. Author thankfully takes time to properly deliver the theme in story. At the early chapter, you'll somewhat felt lost for plot based on the premise.... but as the story progress, you'll understand the romantic experience that the author trying to write down. While the setting did not radiate a bright vibe like death march, it succesfully evoked a somewhat post-yuusha dystopian world: with oppression here and there, collusion, nepotism, and corrupt government. One thing certain is, author seems to stacks the odds against every positive outcome. Circumstances and story element is placed to give readers some melancholic sentiments. While I don't deny there's certainly undertoned commedy, most of the time the narative made me contemplate deeper into MC's circumstances...For advocation, I rated this 5! actual score would be 4, 8... Give it a go for those who crave melancholic story that have satisfying resolution. Beware though, it's not sweet or flufffy, or sugarry, or shit.....
