Cheat Magician Life That Started From Being Judged Useless Chapter 501 Discussion

Like the description says, it's a typical isekai with OP MC, and sometimes he's also naive. MC is still junior high school student. If you can read the Japanese, the way MC talk is a bit childlike in my opinion.

The interaction side character with MC is also good. It has drama and hardships. Of course, it has harem too.

In this novel, the author is trying to do a realistic way what will happen in the isekai genre. Sometimes it has dark plot, but it happen only to side characters. The MC and his harem has a thick plot armor, but for the side character, sometimes it's messed up. At the recent chapter (c502), it still has not a clear goal what's trying to achieve or who's the main villain in the bigger picture.

For me, the most interesting part of the novel is 1st arc about rescuing his classmates and the attack of horde monster. After the 1st arc, it's just about the consequences of isekai that is how to return to the original world. That's why it's also has reverse isekai. This is where the drama come from. The author is trying to illustrate the feelings and problems that come from side characters pov being isekai in a realistic manner and how the original world handles the isekai thing.

The more story progress, it's become more hectic. It's isekai oriented but there's also a reverse isekai even though not that much. Problems keep appearing one after another because MC keep jumping from one place to others. Well mostly are solved by MC, but sometimes it left to side characters and it's people. There's more story about side character pov from c390 onwards.

Don't read it if you want OP and omnipotent MC. Remember, the author is not writing a realistic MC, but it's trying to write a realistic situation, emotion, and problem in isekai genre.

Thankfully, the author is posting the chapter often. In a year, he probably release more than 100 chapters. I'll read it again after it's completed. It's enjoyable read, not extremely good, but not that bad either. It's 4.4 points out of 5

From here on, I'm using spoiler as review.

Well the first 150 chapter is excellent. The pace is quite balance, not too fast nor too slow. It's about the rescue his classmate. It's also including the problem of harem. As of c502, MC has 4 wives officially and 1 to be wives soon.

The first three is quite fast to achieved. The fourth is taking a long time to time, not to mention the fifth. It's a bit of drama with the fifth.

After being rescued, the story is go downhill. I'm not saying it's bad. It's more like from excellent to good. Since it's more about how to return to original world, the consequences, and the psychology being isekai. It's become drama oriented. This is also the start where MC truly start exploring the isekai world.

This is where it becomes hectic, it's jumble the story. Problems keeps popping up one after the other, not just on MC but also on side characters too that choose to stay in the isekai world since they've been flashed out more in c400 onwards, especially Yagi, the glasses classmate. There's Meri (female character that's introduced around c420) that adores Honmiya (a girl classmate that choose to stay). There's indication of yuri. There's also a romantic interest of other side charater that died and reincarnated as a child. The more story progress, there's a lot of question that need to be answer. There's no clear main villain yet, there's also no god that fit in the story even though there's a church.

So I'll just wait until the novel is complete.

This is spoiler for his harem if you want to know, seriously, don't open it if you don't want to be spoiled:

Spoiler

As of c502, MC has 4 wives and 1 soon to be

Yuika (the Saint, class rep, Japanese person, also an insider for rescue operation, that's why she also has a lot of interactions with MC)

Manon (ordinary Volzard girl, has a lot interactions with MC after he's arrive in Volzard)

Beatrice (Volzard lord 2nd daughter, being saved from dying because a disease),

Serafima (princess of Balsahnia, peeping her while she's asleep, and according to tradition she needs to marry those who sees her sleeping figure. The guards is ridiculous strict though, but MC is OP, and Serafime is the brain in royalty.)

and the soon to be is Camilla (princess of Resenburg, the one who summon MC and his classmate, she's not exactly a villain at first, also she almost died 2 times and almost r*ped 1 times, basically she's a good person but her surrounding is just worst, that's why she's appeared villainy at first).

There's some girls that aim the MC, well actually there's a lot, but this is with highest possibility and interesting in my opinion:

Meisa (the daugther of his boarding house, she truly loves MC, but MC think of her like little sister, because she's just 10 years old and have 0 s*x appeal. Her dreams is to be MC bride.)

Watanuki (MC classmate, her past is dark, she's been r*ped by 3 knights for 2 months before finally being rescued, become desperate, hence she's become s**tty after being rescued. She has relationship with few classmates and have s*x with them and become pregnant. She's been helped a lot by MC, financially, mentally, it's almost like a husband. MC is also willing to do anything for her, like hit the boy who abandoned her after he knows that she's pregnant, comforting her cry after being abandoned, doing cruel things to those 3 knights, even killing them, if Watanuki wants it, those 3 knights is beheaded though by Camilla knights, extort compensation from Resenburg for her, and so on. She actually want to be MC wives, but even if she's being chosen, she's believe it's not 100% love, but half of it is pity. She also decide that she's can't choose any other man than MC until she can be proud of herself)
