Reincarnated in a Game World ~How Could I Do Something Like a Tutorial, I’m Going to Go Raise My Level!~ Chapter 600 Discussion

After so many dud j-novels on Foxaholic, finally found one I liked, and my bar was already pretty low. This one isn't full of word padding, logic holes, explaining the obvious, telling instead of showing, robotic/s*upid MC, forgettable cast, predictable plot, glaringly s*upid cliches, beating the same joke/misunderstanding into the ground, etc. I seriously don't understand why syosetu WNs have word padding, they don't have deadlines like Chinese WNs and serves literally no purpose.

Spoke too soon, the PVP arcs (around chapter 500) are full of word padding, author does that annoying thing Japanese authors do where they repeat a chapter from another character's perspective without adding much to the story, except here it's tripled down on. Though they do a (surprisingly) good job of showing off the new side characters.

Plot is pretty simple, MC is isekai-ed into a game world, proceeds to make a guild and dungeon romp with his OP game knowledge. Characters are cute and fun (his childhood friend is slime hi*ler), but don't expect deep character development or drama. LitRPG system reminds me of playing Etrian Odyssey, it's surprisingly consistent and believable as a game which is a rarity in this genre. If that doesn't sound relevant to your interests, it may not be for you.

Translations aren't so good. Spelling and grammar are okay at the start, but quality drops quickly after. Along with translation errors, chapters can be confusing in places and annoying to read. It isn't uncommon for lines to be complete rewrites by the translators, even the chapter titles are often wrong. But the biggest issue is that so many lines are completely omitted that I thought the original author went back and revised everything. Having to read both versions to see what's missing is just... ugh. If I had to guess, they were probably working off Google Translate (current 2022 version eats a lot of lines, despite the overall quality increasing). Some chapters aren't translated. Chapter order is messed up in places.

[Edit: Really? You're censoring s*upid now? wtf]
