At it cores it is a fairly standard litRPG isekai with death game elements. Young man (together with a sizable group of people from Earth) is summoned into a new world with game elements. Something goes wrong for him, and he ends up in the world without getting the tutorial. He ends up with a healer class, not exactly the best when solo gaming, but a "bug" does give him a bit of an edge. The world comes with its mystery though, if only because the official story does not seem to match the MC's experience, raising the question on what is going on. The story itself is not bad, but two things keep me from fully enjoying it. For one thing, the MC is a lone wolf even if not by choice, and I prefer more social interaction in my story and it seems to go towards PvP, a game element I am not that much of a fan off. Secondly, there is a bit too much game stats, a large part of which is rather meaningless and confusing and that is coming from an actual gamer. The fact that the MC seems to be inconsistent in what he remembers from the few games he played does not help. All in all, a decent read, just not for me.

A very Jonathan Brooks story - always quite readable, if not overly complex, or over laden with stunning revelations, Plot twist , stunning world building and/or character development - it has a likable main character, the story moves had a nice pace, with a fairly logical progression and is kind of addictive, potato chips of the literary world.

Good read. I laughed a lot while reading this book. Now I need ten more words to finish this review.

This was a fun and interesting ride from start to finish. The MC was enjoyable made decisions that made this book a page turner. Overall i liked this book and think you should read it too.

The beginning was a bit confusing, I'm still not sure what the author was trying to describe. But once the main character started gaining strength and skills the story sure picked you up and carried you along. I liked how the author described the system of mana and the plot sure was full of surprises, lots of action, and even some humor!

I was torn with this book. The story is great. It actually took me two starts to get into the book. I really didn’t like the beginning the very beginning. It makes sense later on so if you have an issue with it, stick with the book. Overall great story overall great MC, but this is almost like trying to make a square pig fit in round hole. The author makes it happen, but if you’ve ever played an RPG if you follow, LITRPG genre some stuff here rub you the wrong way. I got over it quickly, but let me explain. Anybody who’s ever played in RPG knows that every character has a weapon every character can attack might not be the best attacker in the world, but you can hit something. You can do some damage even if it’s minimal. Highly upset that the MC in this story doesn’t have a weapon. Can’t do any physical damage makes no sense to me. Even if he takes on the traditional healer role and just has a cane and barely wax someone with it, it makes no sense he can do no damage. Don’t get me wrong the way the author addresses it is great, but this leads to the second problem. The way the world is built. It’s lopsided. Now when you have a broken character, that’s OK doesn’t matter how lopsided the world is, but when I take a few steps back, it makes no sense. How any other character of his class would make it in this world they would all die. It seems difficult for any character to make it in this world because some of the rules imposed by the author would probably get you killed. Here’s one you’re going into a dungeon level five to get in. Great you don’t know that the boss at the end has a level of 15 I believe, but you go into the dungeon you can’t exit how are you supposed to make it through this dungeon if you can’t level up in a dungeon. Someone who doesn’t read this genre won’t notice this but someone who does follow this type of genre really thinks about the systems at play here and do they make sense. They don’t make sense 100% that’s where the square peg is being forced into a round hole. It’s not the end of the world. The story makes sense ultimately in the end, but this is a bit much. I always argue that when an author writes a book in this genre, make sure your system works, and this system seems to be a bit lopsided. You end up discovering how much the MC can heal for as a healer great you’ll also discover the health of enemies great but they are misaligned significantly. to the point where if this was an average party going through this particular dungeon having to fight they would be having to kill enemies with hundreds of HP more than them. You know something is broken when you are given the MC stats and he almost has no health And no health that makes no sense. Not after so many levels. How is a regular person supposed to survive in this world if they are not him. Again square peg round hole it works. You’ll read it. You’ll love it but you think to yourself these numbers. Don’t quite add up. Something is a little off here needs a bit of a tweak. It makes sense from LITRG numbers perspective. With all that being said, I’m going to read the next book and the one after that because I love where this story is going, but I just don’t like how the system was built. It’s almost like the blocks are off just a little. It doesn’t affect the story, but you just notice it ever so slightly. Message to the Author Spoilers I always make a note to write a message to the author for the books I really like and please don’t take my criticism above to heart. I really liked this book. Initially, I didn’t like all the death at the beginning and I left the book alone but the cover of the third book in the series really interested me and I came back and once you get past the death in the beginning, and the character finally wakes up and starts moving around you like the story. I do have one issue with the story or rather with the system to me. The numbers don’t add up. Look at the MC before he gets all of his major achievements at the end of the second dungeon look at how much health he has and how he survives. That doesn’t make sense to me so little health after all of those levels, practically nothing still and somehow defeats this beyond his level. to me he should’ve died when he took that major blow because he was so out leveled compared to the boss he was fighting. Actually I thought he probably should’ve died earlier when he took that blow from the necrotic spasm. The numbers just seem off a little this character is growing in magic stats, but he’s not growing in physical health that made no sense and it seemed padded when he got achievements to grow his physicality. What happens if you don’t get those achievements you’re a thin sheet of paper a very thin, wet, see-through sheet of paper. I understand the concept of a healer being weak physically, but to me that was too weak. Really to be honest characters have two little HP enemies have too much.

Easy reading. Fun and interesting. Close to first place regarding thoroughly stomping a new character. Entertaining and engaging. A good read.

Like I said, ovverall good! Good character, good plot, and good world building. I like that the author has had no problems with putting his MC through the ringer. It makes one feel like the MC deserves his OPness. If I had to give any critique about the book, I would say this: Could get too repetitive in the MC thoughts, going over the same thing felt a little bit like trying to fill pages or trying to make things seem more complicated or dire by over explaining. And a few words missing occasionally, but not enough to detract from the story. And definitely not enough to down grade a star. I recommend this if you like anime or stories, like solo leveling, reincarnated as a healer(I think that was the title), and Bofuri: I don't want to get hurt so I will raise my defense(although be aware this is not as lighthearted as that). Then I think you'll enjoy this!
