A fairly bland wish fulfillment isekai starring the author's self-insert. The first chunk of the book is him leveling up and explaining in excruciating detail how awesome all his gear is, and how he went from level 1 ditch digging to level 100 ditch digging or whatever. The middle is him back in the real world, where anyone he talks to can only say “wow you're so awesome I love you”, and the very end of the book peeks a bit at the fantasy world he stepped into. The MC is dumb as a bag of rocks like your usual dense protagonist, and completely merciful to even those who are actively trying to kill him. The other isekai world seems like it might be more interesting, as the Japan-focused part is just the author jerking off to his own wish fulfillment fantasy. There's also zero conflict.

If you have absolutely nothing else to read, I guess this might scratch that itch.

A surprisingly fun read. The MC is ruthless towards his enemies, and the interactions between Charlotte and the MC are cute and entertaining.

A really funny read, but it depends on your tolerance for manzai comedy. The MC is borderline insane, makes for an entertaining read but it can be frustrating or annoying if you're not into that kind of thing. However, the first half of volume 1 is an absolute slog to get through because it's your typical isekai stat grinding crap. Once he finally reunites with his classmates, it picks up.

I had originally marked volume 9 as where I dropped this series, but I couldn't remember why. After finishing this dreadful volume, I remembered. Nearly this entire volume is nothing but filler, with a tiny thread of a plot near the end. You can read the first chapter, then skip straight to the epilogue and still have a decent understanding of what you skipped, because one of the characters introduced in this volume explains the entire plot as if you didn't just read the volume. Surprise, the mysterious gold-ranked mercenaries are agents from another nation, and they're up to evil schemes because something-something war, but none of that matters until the epilogue kinda sorta maybe. Also, for some reason Arc is basically a pacifist against human enemies despite his very first incident in the series involving him cutting a bunch of bandits in half and then remarking how he doesn't feel anything about it. His insistence on capturing instead of killing comes back to bite him in the ass almost immediately, obviously, but I doubt he'll change his methods from hereon

This series really went downhill after Thanatos got merc'd, which is natural since that's where the original web novel ended. Everything after is the author writing by the seat of his pants. Oh well, time to find something else to read.

This series is a decent, funny idea held back by poor execution due to the writer's amateur ability. The concept and humorous moments itself hit pretty well, but the problem with this novel is that the author insists on long, drawn-out, repetitive explanations of the titular game's buggy mechanics. The Golden Zlime chapter is a good example of this, because he explains how the Extermination Fest works multiple times in a row, repeating the exact same sentence but worded differently, for almost an entire page. This is fine the first few times, but eventually it becomes overbearing to the point where 70% of each chapter is explaining a bug, and how he's going to exploit it. I don't know if this is the author trying to pad out the novel, or just his lack of experience, but the novel really suffers for it. I had to drop it. Whoever the editor was that got hired for this LN needs to be fired, because they're supposed to trim the this kind of fat off the WNs during their LN publication.

There's a manga that's being scanlated (albeit with a mediocre translation, possibly machine translated, don't remember) that I recommend reading instead if the idea here interests you. It has a much better pacing, and the comedy hits better due to it.
