ch 8. with two ladies that are trying to persuade mc to join their organization, and they're beautiful as well, I'm wondering if they're seducing him as a means to their goal. lol. anyways there are only 4-5 people introduced so far that could side-character material. and four are ladies, and beauties at that too(edit: 2 of them never even show up again. what was the point of their existence? fanservice ig). but yeah, no men so far. except for the mc's master. and he only took mc as a disciple bc he had a perfect body for martial arts, and he was bored and mc is the only one he could touch. how convenient for mc. personality-wise, mc is meh. ch 15. one woman down for the mc... edit: and she just entered his home w/out permission. aight. ch 17. ok maybe I'm just being too critical of mc here, but I think his goal (to acquire enough power to ensure that no one suffers anymore due to the monsters and such) is too idealistic...and shoujo-like. it's bland and his backstory is so flimsy that anyone can come up on the spot. I hope he grows more depth so it'll change in a way that'll be unique and reflects his personal desires too. anyways, potential side character: s-rank and it's a dude this time. but of course, he's antagonistic towards mc bc he doesn't like the skimpy clothes woman. edit: there's another guy that's antagonistic towards mc bc he likes the skimpy clothes woman. lol. ch 32. it's not bad. there is only so much you can with the monster-system-crap premise that has been overused. mc is initially timid and naive, but his master is teaching him and he's developing in this regard. nevertheless, his luck in getting stronger without reason is obnoxious. also, why is there a reincarnation tag?? there none whatsoever. ch 39. new terms that signify a greater scheme is at play here. also, its a pity; that long black-haired guy was kinda hot. ch 51. mc is boring as a character. am I expecting too much? proabaly. his only personality is being timid and working hard to protect his dear ones, but he's even bland at that. even tho he's the mc, there's no depth. no smarts, no charisma or admirable qualities. he's stupidly impulsive sometimes, and his master helps him get thru it. he doesn't deserve the power he has. and it's annoying how all the friends he has now, are females. given the plenty of times he interacted with them, there is obviously romance but like it's heading into a harem. it's frustrating there is no male that he is friendly with (besides his master), not even that cliche friend that only serves as comic relief and foil. all the males are either antagonists, foil, or people that aren't important to mc(except his lil bro). and at this point, the background of his master and the mystery of why he was transported near mc is still not brought up yet.

ch 5. well at least mc is not so pathetic he'll use his crush to avoid being beaten by the bullies. ch 11. the teacher-who's-actually-a-really-strong-guy is well kinda perverted. all the comedy of this work seems to stem from his foolish acts and perversion. ch 17. right now the bullied kid's crush is kinda useless. she's not that likable either, like, I applaud her for not ignoring him but even tho she says she wants to help, the way she had no inkling in her pretty little head that his "friends" are actually his bullies ch 26. murim set in the modern world... pretty cool. and this is a Korean work but in a manga form. I wonder if korean work was initially something that looked like manga but later branched into the colored panel manhwas. ch 32. that kid really is an idiot. he's acting on emotions and making dumabass decisions, forcing his teach to come to his rescue every single time. at this point, it's not bravery but recklessness. ch 41. wow. the chivalry. you're gonna let your long-time bullies continue smashing your head in with a bat, but then when he tries to make a move on ur beloved sahee, ur suddenly so aggressive. goddamnit. ch 44. pretty boy, i like u. also, shiho and the ex-teach are cute together ch 63. WTFFF how can she dies like this? she was literally the best female chara in this series! ch 70. OI what r u saying right now? did he really intend to kill his disciple? bc he just desperately wants revenge?

ch 5. what the fuck is that father cheating with maid plot point supposed to add to the story?? just unecessary drama to give the father two wives? I'm so annoyed, the self-proclaimed "god of words" mc just made up a story about how his father blackmailed the maid into having sex, and how is that not worse than them two having sex consensually? any normal person would've thrown the father out at that point (and btw it's not a matter of "jealousy", mc, they fucking betrayed her trust and deserve to be ousted. stop being so fcking selfish bc you want a happy family, mc.). edit: ch 5.5: yeah...is this supposed to offer some perspective to make this heartwarming? cuz its not... im kinda disgusted with the maid too... ch. side story: girl... (boys, dont follow this father's example, don't gaslight and use ur kids to corner a woman, it's disgusting) ch 25. first off, it's honestly better than i expected. just get rid of the lecherous parts then mc is pretty great. i enjoy exploring the world with mc and his party, and he is decently smart. we are starting to get character growth too. i felt that he was kinda naive, and idealistic...but that is reasonable bc he used to be NEET and grew up pretty sheltered in his new life. but now experiencing his failure that resulted in death and actual consequences, with the supard's words, he is forced to realize he cant just deflect some blame/guilt with excuses. the ramifications weigh down heavily on him, and i love it. and when the supard helped him out at the expense of his own goal, bc of mc's naivety, that was cherry on top. ch 36. ngl this chapter added layers of complexity to this isekai manga. paul is a good person and tries to be a good dad, but he's also humane and complex. and mc, he's relatable and realistic, but his flaws aren't glossed over, he takes the step forward to change which he couldnt do in his previous life. ch 52. they were 15 ish yo!! i just wish they were a bit older before doing the deed. well, whatever... the fact she cut off her hair was pretty cool, tho, shows her resolve and chara growth ch 76. ngl that was genuinely sweet. syth(?) is sooo cute and precious, esp that ear flapping when she is embarrassed. what's better than an adorable chara with personality + utter devotion + chara growth? like, what the hell, i want her. rudeus is gonna have a harem, so give her to me! ch 86. wholesome and heartwarming. mc's past life still lingers, it's great cuz it means he cant turn away from someone going thru the same thing. so mc just have 3 harem members. they're all great tbh, i dislike harems, but they're all endearing... i wish they all would end up with rudeus. sighhhh...
