I love isekai manga and novel but the repetitive trope slowly get into me. However, this one is just great.1. We have an MC who wants to be a slacker. But unlike other tropes MC IS DIFFERENT, FINALLY!! (im so tired of leads wanting to stay on the background to "lie low" while trying to ignore the danger then grumbling about how he don't want to be involved despite being OP then grumbles some more that he over did it or something) Here, MC wants to be slacker yes but he acknowledges the fact that in order to achieve that he needs to make sure that he lives in a peaceful world so he has to work for it. It was because of this self acknowledgement that he slowly starts shedding his "tr*sh" mask. Think of MC as an office worker preparing for his retirement life.2. We have female characters that doesn't suddenly fall in love with the lead because of little reasons or due to suspension bridge effect. The women in this story are strong, independent, dependable and doesn't fall easily or get into cat fight. No harem hurrah!!!3. The side characters are not just there to make the lead stand out, they have their own time to shine and they are as equally important as the lead. This is not a one man show but a team effort. No one is replaceable and they do their job right. It is them that makes it possible for the MC to be reckless when needed.4. The pacing is okay and the world building gives you enough to create a picture in your head. The adventures though at times seem repetitive always had just the right amount to keep you from tapping that next button. It is addictive.5. Also the first chapters doesn't give much information about MC's background. This gives the reader the idea that his only advantage is information about the book.. However please persists, the fact that he was able to stay in character and fool an assassin that raised his "body" gives that hint that MC is not someone ordinary. Spoiler
His ability to command and strategize is not mere fluke or due to his knowledge in the book. He came in an apocalyptic world and where his ability are passive and is suited for support so his strategic skills are entirely his own, he was commander for a reason.
[collapse]6. Each chapter is long so some might find it a bit tiring, like I said some scenes may get a bit repetitive and some seems a bit like fillers. Also if you worry about MC reading the book, he he... remember he did not finish the book.
