![]() ![]() Everything just falls into place in this novel like a jigsaw puzzle because it is expected that it would. In this case I can only hope he matures as a writer in his next attempt. Upon checking his page, I saw that this was his only publication according to MAL. If I had to pick the one thing that makes this novel a good choice for garden manure, it would be that the author seems to be too lazy to flesh out the world and the characters himself. This one is just a bad, sad take on the virtual MMORPG/ rebirth in a new world genre. Seriously go read Log Horizon, Mushoku Tensei or Tate no yuusha instead. For the casual-type story reader, this would be of more interest. Especially with the lacking overarching story, if you are looking for something high powered, this is definitely not the story for you. ![]() Which is a nice change of pace.Ĭonclusion: Slice of life style stories aren't for everyone as they are slow paced. As a novel of its genre, it's rather absent of excessive sexual comments. The main character isn't interested in them, and the attempts of the harem to advance towards the main character at a certain point becomes more jokingly, rather than with seriousness. But honestly, it's closer to a teacher taking their students on a field trip. One other thing to address: Right, there is technically a harem. ![]() Other novels that I have read or am still reading, and like (for reference) include: Cook of the Mercenary Corp, Mushoku Tensei, History’s Number 1 Founder, Transcending the Nine Heavens, Crossing to the Future it’s Not Easy to Be a Man, Kenkyo Kenjitsu o Motto ni Ikite Orimasu. I'm an avid reader of transported-to-another-world type novels, and I would rank this one quite up there due to its unique perspective on the genre. At least for me, some of my favorite chapters are from a side character's POV.Įnjoyment: Due to its light-hearted nature, this story is very relaxing to read, and very easy to enjoy. They are what drive home the story's charm. Can always use more Tamarin and Pochinium - Intermission SS4 Volume 9 reference) While there honestly isn't much character growth (if any at all), since there are a lot of chapters from the side character's POV (point of view), sometimes the same event from multiple perspectives, the characters do give another depth the story. Pochi is particularly cute in the art! nanodesu =w=)~Ĭharacter: While the main character has no personality, the side characters have very distinctive personalities that are quite easy to like. There isn't much art? It seems decent to me though. Hence an 8 for story despite the lacking overarching story.Īrt: What can I say. The large-scale tactics are well done in my opinion. Other than the slice of life feeling of the story, this is my favorite aspect. (Think of tactics games such as Final Fantasy Tactics Advance, or Fire Emblem) As such, he also plays the role of strategist when confronting battles and problems on large scales. Basically, he can track what everyone is doing from a 3rd person perspective. There are some sub-stories that are interesting due to the "all-map" skill that the main character has. Story: Since this story is like a slice of life, there honestly really isn't much of an overarching story. As he slowly learns about the world through: food, crafting, skills, magic, trade, politics, religion, etc. I mean, would you? As a result, rather than spending time getting into battles, he becomes a full-time tourist of this world. Kind of like, although getting slashed with a sword would feel as bad as getting a paper cut, he still doesn't want a paper cut. He has no distinctive quality other than being overly cautious and doesn't like pain, which contrasts greatly with the level of over-kill he is. The main character gets transported to another world as an OP (overpowered) character. This causes several events to unfold simultaneously, building up to some interesting situations throughout the story. Of course while killing demon lords seems uneventful to the overpowered main character, side characters and the world itself become greatly affected by such "trivial" actions. The side stories include the main character nonchalantly killing off demon lords and dragon gods, and the like. Nothing much really happens from the main male character going to tea parties with nobles, to going on a desperate multi-day quest for the sacred ingredient, pickles. I would describe Death March as a Slice of life novel of another world. ![]()
