Synopsis

Yusuke doesn't care about getting into a good high school. He just wants to get away from people and make it home to his video games. But when he suddenly finds himself in a real-life fantasy game alongside his two gorgeous classmates, he discovers it's not as easy as he thought, especially when there's a headless man "from the future" assigning him missions and his character class is... farmer. Before long, the unlikely trio find that they're not just battling for their own lives, but for the lives of millions!

I've started reading this, because I watched the first episode of the Anime and thought this was a Konosuba-lite.

It is not.

It's more like Darwin's game (the Manga). If you liked Darwin's Game you'll like this one, I'm sure.

After the first chapters the tone gets darker and darker, the MC is a little edgy but it's played painfully straight. He is a misanthrope at his core, he hates humans and himself - but stil tries to do the right thing.

Don't let the MAL ratings fool you, this is far from your usual collection of trash generic isekai. If you want a quick summary about this manga, then I can give it to you. "Boring, but addicting" Now the next thing your gonna question is how f'ing retarded can this summary be, well now I'm gonna tell you why I gave this summary. Right after I finish my review of course.

Story: Anyway, our MC Yotsuya was having a normal highschool day and while cleaning up the chalkboard after school there were also two other girls present. Then all of a sudden they disappeared in front ... of his eyes by a beam of godly rays and then after a blink he was transported too. Now to the main part, apparently the two girls were transported to the other world one by one but in the end they survived a few rounds (There are 10 rounds in total to complete the game). There is also this game master that looks like some pervert, but he also serves as the god of that world (He also takes form of a loli in later chapters). This game master offers you one question to make after clearing a quest and he will answer it as given. The game master also says that by the end of the game you would have ten players since every round that is cleared you are granted a new player. Besides the rules of the game, the world is actually very detailed thanks to the author's magnificent writing and there is a new change of setting which each round. I don't want to get into full detail any more than the basics, but I forgot to say that each time a round is cleared the players are then transported back into their world for some time then brought back in a time skip of 15 years or so. Anymore writing than this is just gonna fry my brain even more so I'll stop now.

Art: Okay I'm not gonna go too critical on the art here, it's decent and clean enough to get the okay sign.It's kinda unique in it's own way and the artist is also the same one for trinity seven. We do get to see lots of blood and gore (including many, many deaths) so that's my conclusion.

Characters: Okay I now understand why this considered (Underrated Isekai Masterpiece) is granted such a shitty rating in mal (Like seriously a 6.91, for a story thats put up a hell of an effort) This story's weak start which puts the rating where it is now is all because of the useless harem squadron of the MC Yotsuya-sama. I didn't have the slightest care about these characters in the beginning, because all they did was follow the assign cliche given to most women in anime. But if you waited and read forward, you can actually see these characters grow and become more reliant which the MC Yotsuya-sama approves of and if he didn't then he would value their lives at zero.

Now that these insignificant characters are out of the way, let's talk about our boy YOTSUYA-SAMA. First of all many can take his "I hate people" quote as something stupid, like where would you have been if humanity isn't here. This simple thought leads to a train of ideals and different viewpoints in which will sometimes contradict to his thinking/actions, and at this point this character starts to try viewing things from another perspectives while creating new ideals with him, even if he knows some of his views is very flawed it's still something he believes in and he has the willpower to carry that out so no matter how wrong or right it is perceived. Basically, this guy thinks logically and doesn't play idiot meaning throwing away his humanity at times in order to carry out his deeds. He also has different persona for the people he interacts with and this is something in which I can relate to as well, I mean having a fresh start in life while meeting new people is something you don't take for granted if your a lonely weeaboo with an embarrassing that you would want to remove from your memory, but it's permanently stuck in your head till your grave.

Overall: 9/10 The effort put into such a generic setting is insane!

Update 9/23/20: What type of review is this goddamn it's horrible, anyway here's the main point, the beginning is pretty mediocre as it introduces its' set of clunky rules but the author decided to improve and with each arc we get a whole different setting which I compare to Hunter x Hunter and I guess all the rules that the author made at first are starting to make sense. Each arc is based off a real life event and real world problems, so it's pretty interesting to see. The main characters are in a situation like Subaru from Re:Zero except if they all die without being revived by the time the cooldown timer hits zero, they will remain dead. There's a lot of vague mystery questions going around and every villain is pretty difficult to deal with, so if you want to give this a read go ahead.

Spoiler

Dropped, Too much tell not enough show.
Skip alot of interesting part, tells alot of useless part.
Weak MC that truly underpowered and can't brute force,
but still plays in Easy mode since everything is laid out for him in the end.
Overused MC's cold blooded empathetic tropes with very little development.
Tryhard forcing down a gay supporting character down your throat.
Other supporting characters don't matter, get the gay characters more screentime!.
Story development is at snail's pace, too many useless explanation and constant monologue
and internal strife that could've been simplified and take less pages.
Story settings are just bunch of people playing mmorpg, do quest, finish quest rinse and repeat.
