I will be making the volume 2 week 1 thread on may 31st, a week after finishing week 15.
Now how about a poll, what kind of copy did you read for volume 1:
I’m about 3/4ths into the first book. So far the world building and systems have been pretty interesting, but I absolutely hate Bell. This comment on novelupdates summarizes my thoughts pretty well:
Major Negatives: Some readers may dislike the MC. He has a cheat ability to level up dozens of times faster than anyone else. Almost every girl falls for him (usually for no reason), while he is totally oblivious and awkward around girls. He is extremely naive or impulsive. He is always stammering with exaggerated body language. His personality does not change, he does not get any less naive or oblivious even after 9 volumes.
Sure, this is a trope (but I really dislike it). Now some people say there is some character development, so I don’t really know. I was planning to at least read the second volume, but we’ll see how far I can get. Maybe I’ve just gotten too old for 14 year old main characters (who “fall in love” with a single glance and start to dedicate their whole life towards that).
Looks like that commentator gave up just a tad too early. Volume 10 is literally where Bell ends up making real progress on that front. There’s progress before as well though but
That’s definitely the case for me, especially now that I have found better reading material.
