Being ‘Plain Vanilla’ in a world that loves ‘Dark Truffle’ means you’re royally screwed!

Cryptically being isekai-ed into a world of swords, magic, and mysteries was the last of Luke Raynott’s worries. The moment he had witnessed the abysmally low numbers in his ‘status window’, his instincts started jingling like bells in a Christmas Carnival.

That wasn’t the last of it, as he ended up getting the ‘Gunner’ class, a class with close to no practical usage in this world that depended on magic.

Will Luke be able to survive through the adversities and become stronger? Or will he become one of the cannon fodders of this erratically puzzling world?

Will he ever find out the reason behind his unannounced transmigration? Or will it all get blamed on the almighty truck-kun?

Join Luke’s not-so-average life in a world where an ant can be bigger than an elephant, and a whale can be the go-to Pokemo– beast for traveling in the sea.

Watch the tale of a ‘Pew Pew’ guy in a world full of ‘Abracadabra’.

A mixed bag, but a good one

Reviewed at: 15. The Mock Test

The MC is annoying. There, I said it. I strongly believe that everything that happens is explained in words he himself would use, and that he has an incredibly big ego. 

Naturally, he's good looking. He has a warm voice, but also very authoritative. His shining blue eyes are sparkling like fresh water, but can look very stern, if need be. He is a quick learner, very charismatic, wakes up with the sun and is incredibly driven. He's intelligent, loves sports, is educated and a true gentleman. But most of all, he's humble. Oh and he's got the worst stats of all... but not to worry, he's already on his way to rectify that.

Yeah, I mean, come on. What's next, he can cook a five star meal while playing the piano? Truly, he gives off a very punchable vibe. 

 

That said, ...

It's a good story. 

The system is different enough to be unique, but good enough to the standard so you know what you're dealing with. The characters so far seem solid, as far as I'm watching it through the distorted lens of MC's eyes. 

The plot is developing in well sized chunks, while giving us plenty of time to get a feel of the world. The underdog has a horrible reputation so far, but I'm sure he's quickly going to carve out a niche in which he can safely grow.

All in all – a nice read. Just imagine that the MC himself is the bard of his own existence, and that he is absolutely convinced he's god's gift to reality. If you accept that, and maybe imagine at times that other characters might not view him as infallible, you're going to have fun with this story.

Well written, main character is a little trouper, but the set up so far shows that there has been thought made into the plot.  These first few chapters were easy to read with only some unnecessary internal monolouges, and a frustrating time skip of significance, although we get to hear about all of his showers.  I also do not know Luke (MC), who was he before, what experience does he have, or is he just a silver tongued underachiever?

I would prefer longer posts with longer releases over the shorter posts with frequent releases, it allows the reader to adequately immersed.

I look forward to reading more of this, it's well written and well planned, I have high expectations for this story.

It seems decent and well written but it is faaaarrrr too anime and childish for me. I know I'm not that far in, but the main character has been handed literally everything so far. After being isekai'd

  • He has sold into slavery to the kindest, richest, most understanding, most hands off master possible. Even though the master was tricked into it he bears the Mc no ill will.
  • Is given a large portion of the price he was purchased for as an investment in him. 
  • Started with low stats but the system took pity on him. Twice. Once with the system literally telling him it was pity.
  • Was given a mysterious special potion to enhance his chances. It is implied that this is an investment in him without ever providing any proof that he is worth the investment.
  • Never acknowledges the only potential pain he could have had.
  • Immediately gets all the skills he needs to Kickstart exponential growth.

I may come back later and update this because it is well written but for now the Mc was too Mary Sue and details too inconsistent.

Just an early review,  I like the concept of gun user in a fantasy world and whit his crafting skill it could turn into some thing interesting  i hope at least,

Story so far is interesting and world building is there and  story flow is not to fast or to slow as we are still in the introduction stage of the novel  as the author paints his world and character in it.    

I would recommend giving it a chance   bcs so far it is interesting and promising so i do hope that the author will keep it up.

Ranking so far.

+Story and world building is good

+character  seem to actually haw a working brain

 +System seem okey and not annoying and feeding MC whit a golden spoon

+Spelling is good so far  and easy to read and follow.

Will update and  more or negative  after  more chapters are out ....

I spent a few hours reading this story. It is enjoyable but it is definitely lacking in a key area: I do not think there is a real conflict or struggle. So far the MC had a bad starting position in the first chapter which almost immediately gets nullified by a lot of unexpected income and cheatlike growth powers. This feels almost too easy.

good rewrite so far

This is a rewrite of a partially released story from last year. So far, I'm really liking the changes the author made. He's got a fairly straightforward system going, and the story flow is nicely paced. I like the concept of using firearms in a fantasy setting. The addition of a crafting system involving it just makes it even more interesting. This is definitely worth checking out.

A rewrite of a very interesting story

Reviewed at: 9. Upgrade

This story takes place in what initially seems to be an isekai world. However immediately we see a great change in terms of its complicated politics and it's treatment of otherworlders in the 1st chapter itself.

The MC is a cunning and calculating person. Especially since he is a weakling in the start. However we see that not many people seem to like that about him in the beginning. Which is u ique since in other stories it is met with praise and respect.

I sincerely people don't miss out on reading this amazing piece

Rewrite paid off. Well worth a read.

Reviewed at: 17. A New Friend?

For those new to this story and unaware, this is a rewrite of a previous version and, having read the original, I can say that the rewrite has worked. The pacing is much better and the upgrades to the character seem more tied into what is happening. All good things and improvements that needed to be made.

I want to start with my character score since the main character can be a bit of a sticking point for some. The characters are well written and there are a variety of personalities present. The sticking point for some is that the MC is a narcissist and is he is well written in that regard. Now, I don't mind this type of character as a rule but it can be frustrating to read for some so take that into consideration when deciding to read the story. At this point in the story (Chapter 17) the characters seem to be forming natural bonds and rivalries but everything is in the opening stages so nothing has progressed too quickly which can be a problem in some stories.

The style of this story is pretty standard for an Isekai LitRPG type story. It is a bit of a Fantasy kitchen sink with all the standards with a magitek technology base. As is clear from the title, the setting involves more than the basic sword and sorcery and it feels like it makes sense as to why the tech base is at the level it is.

The grammar is good, and the author is very present in the comments to be made aware of mistakes. There are mistakes occasionally but nothing that detracted from my reading experience and many of the mistakes were corrected very quickly anyway.

The story is a good one so far. Again, it is an Isekai story with all the normal accepted tropes possibly showing up but they are used in interesting ways for this story. The MC is summoned into the new world with others and given powers and such but there are some twists that make the protagonist a bit different. At the early point of the story that I am writing this, none of the mysteries have really been explained or even explored much beyond showing that there is something unusual going on but there is a lot of promise for when the twists start to be revealed.

Overall, I like the setup and the promise of things to come. I am happy that this story was rewritten as I enjoyed the previous attempt, flaws and all, and I am excited to see this improved version.

Good story great potential

I wrote a long advanced review and fat-thumbed it to oblivion ffs.

The fact that I wrote >>500 words should indicate how interested I am in this, and want to see it progress! 
That being said, no way am I writing it all again. I’ll probably update this in the future though.

Actual review Tl;Dr.

The story isn’t doing anything extraordinary. Isekai with an expansive, solidly built, world. Underestimated protagonist, nice mid-high crunch system.

Chef’s Kiss.

I wanted my fun prog litRPG, and by golly am I getting it. I anticipate the pace will be picking up about now (80 pages in), which is slowish burn plot-wise, even if the system progression starts way faster.

 

Recommended easy read for those who want a return to the seminal touchstones of the (non system apocalypse side of the) genre, amidst more involved or twisty takes. 

Looking forward to more! Sorry for the non-advanced review.

The Author has returned and reworked the story. Loving it. The setting is deepening and makes sense so far. Loving the mc improving and cant wait for more.

Early tech days currently but i shiver in excitement at where his tech level could grow to. One to rival the other candidates on even footing or surpass them!

Liking the character's growth and cant wait to see who else joins the cast. Snooty nobles aside. Mysteries too but cant wait more though curious for more details. All in due time im sure.
