I like to see an homeless main character and how from his view point securing food and shelter is important, but I found it got loss in the OPness of the character and the too sudden events that seems too typical.This book to me looks to be a mix of ideas from other popular light novels you might be familiar with : Arifureta with its labyrinth, Kumo desu ga nani ka with its status, and some other light novels I can't seem to remember the name right now with its buffalo hunting and quest vibes, and I'm a NEET but When I Went to Hello Work I Got Taken to Another World with its coming war. The characteristic of this light novel however, unlike the previously named novel tends toward slice of life of the main character living with a pet and an elf (I've read up to chapter 38) without any particular heroic plot or world crisis in sight.The part where the main character Shinichi reincarnate/is isekaied felt fresh and I love the comedy twist. However, nothing noticeable seem to happen since then. I find the elf love interest lacking in personality and Shinichi didn't strike me as memorable except for his absurd sense of thrift. The author likes to describe tough fighting scene and focus its description on that rather than developing on the technique the fighters could come have come up with, which is an issue since Shinichi is super OP. The translation is well done in my opinion, and give it a thumbs up. Someone who has read more chapters than I will have a better understanding of this light novel. There are better novels out there in my opinion.
