It seems like almost all of these reviews are pretty early (at around 10 chapters), so I decided to write one after reading 46 chapters so you know what to expect.

Honestly, it's good. It's nothing spectacular, but it's good. It's not any deal breaker for the isekai genre, but it kinda gets close to it. You're in for a big surprise at chapter 43, that's for sure.

What's annoying is that this could have been much better if it was handled a little differently. I wouldn't go as far as saying that everything about it it's just wasted potential, but there's sure potential that was ... wasted. The author could have done a much better work when it comes to characters and story. The art could have been better as well, though it's not that bad as it is.

Overall, give it a shot, it's pretty good. It could have been a 9 at least if some things were changed, but as it is now it's a 7. (story: 9/10, art: 7/10, character: 6/10, enjoyment: 8/10).

Another rather generic manga, the MC is super OP but usually goes Saitama. He gets a bunch of weak to fairly strong companions. But wait! There's more to it.

Once you read to chapter 15 or so, you'll that there's much more to the story. The MC isn't loafing around, he doesn't kill demons not because he's another Emiya Shirou ripoff but he actually has a far more important business to take care of.

Now, when we see those series with level system, classes, attributes, floating menu above characters, the in-series characters take it as a granted never questioning why things are that way. This guy is ... suspicious of that system, he wants to know how in the blazes this suddenly began, who did this, who made humans and demons fight and more.

This guy realizes that the classes system provides some benefits to each class, he exploits it and reaches Lv.999 (as the titles suggests) and discovers something, a clue to figuring out this world.

I wish that this series would have started a few years earlier and not in this hodgepodge of isekai, reincarnation, magic fantasy era. Then this may have been another Arifureta or perhaps something better. For now the story is still in the starting, the initial 6-7 chapters weren't all that special, so I'll rate it a 7, but I hope that it improves and makes some name in this crowd of mangas.

It had a good promise. Upon reaching chapter 34, all those promises were thrown out.

And i mean the entire title of the manga can be entirely cancelled as lv999 doesn't mean anything anymore and even lvl 100 can defeat him easily with some convenient broken powers.

I dropped around pages 30-40 of this chapter 34, when the author used the most cliche thing I have ever seen for a backstory

and also when the author decided that it doesn't matter what a character does, as long as the character has a sad backstory, everything is forgiven. Obviously this rule applies only for female characters.

Spoiler,

Basically one mage is ... shown as an enemy from the start, behaves like that, almost kills the hero, almost kills a little child that the hero is protecting but, as soon as it turned out that she was tricked and said sorry, everything is all as nothing happened. The hero even protects her. And from that point on, i didn't want to continue.

Enough of this bs already. How many time do i have to see this stupid plot line? If you behave badly, you need to face consequences for those actions. Doesn't matter you did them because you thought you were right (it is even worse actually)
