![]() The translations are well done, but slow. It is actually nicely written and structured simply but effectively. Most of all they want to be with him and receive his attention, to the extent that newcomers into their circle are viewed with intense suspicion and distrust. Their loyalty borders on blind love, that they would gladly sacrifice themselves to save him. Time and again we are told that the monsters share his distrust of humans due to their shared links, that the monsters wish they could do more to help him, that he should rely on them more. The author tries to inject emotions and the general thought process of a person who is still troubled by his new, grim outlook, and wants us to care about the monsters that he had bonded with. So weak that the entirety of the translations thus far is about how he gets into life-threatening situations and the resulting crisis that forces his monsters to rescue him. It immediately brings comparisons to Arifureta, the difference in that the MC of Monster no Goshujin-sama is still weak. One only needs to look at the harem tag to immediately guess that the monsters he recruited are either female or possess female attributes. His view of humans forever tainted by the traumatic incident, he would rather believe the monsters who follow him loyally. Traumatized, he bore a grudge against his fellow students and discovered that he actually had the power to tame the monsters of the new world.Īs he starts to trek across this new world, he slowly finds a scattered schoolmate or two and discovering a few more monsters to bond with. When the story opens, he was alone and injured. Our MC is someone who is purportedly unpowered and thus was a victim of the infighting. more> resulting in destruction of the fragile community that was still trying to learn about its predicament.ĭid the two paragraphs above sound interesting? If so, you will be disappointed to know that all of the above are told after the fact, we don't get to read about the actual event itself. Very quickly the grim scenario is given to us: powered students turning against the unpowered. The author is trying to build a dark story, a world where strength is needed to survive constant dangers from monsters and from the base nature of humans. Of course, things quickly went south, because humans. A caste was quickly established, those with fantasy cheat powers and those who don’t. The stories outline is great, but I just think we deserve a better MC then someone who lucks into survival 9 out of 10 times.A school of students and its staff were transported into a fantasy world and immediately enters a classic Lord of the Flies scenario. He nailed even the female parts without sounding silly. Now with all that out the way, major props to the narrator. What's worst is keeps getting emotional and charging into fights with a clear understanding that he himself is only a burden. But what I find most annoying is that he know his biggest and most obvious weakness is his ability to defend himself, and even after getting numerous highly trained people around him he doesn't try to improve himself. He's literally trying to play a "game of thrones" and it little better then high school drama. He makes a initial plan which sounds good, but only under the assumption that the target is a total noob, or idiot. The problem is that this guy is more Bobbity (DragonBall Z). Here's the problem I got with him, you have someone who fancy's themselves as a Light Yagami (Death Note MC). Now reread that last sentence and focus on the word CRAPPY, so it's not "terrible". So here's the deal, great story, crappy MC. A place Leo is determined to prove himself capable of mastering. And no matter how many servants, allies, or vaults of gold he acquires, Leo is guaranteed an uphill battle.įortunately, Ansiri and the Isles remain a brutal, nasty place. This time, however, it's not fellow barons he's challenging, but several of the most powerful lords the Capital has to offer. Unable to rest, Leo is forced to do the only thing he can: Prepare for the next fight. ![]() And yet, for an ambitious nobleman, enemies grow like weeds.
