The Novel’s Extra (2022)
Slow start that earns it's 5* rating as it goes on. MC is servicable, so are the side characters. He has his moments (particularly in comedy) but the main appeal is going to be the all around plot. Original novel seems fairly interesting based on what we've seen and MC's powers are pretty all encompassing which makes you curious on what he'll do next. EDIT: It improves quite a bit as time goes on, MC turns out to be a pretty fun character, for one. EDIT: dropped. They really went with the magic child of MC and a girl spawns trope. It's giving harem and I wasn't really loving the recent chapters anyway.
Warrior High School – Dungeon Raid Department
I'd give it a 5 if they weren't constantly throwing someone that might 1-up mc in. We haven't had enough time to bask in his op-ness for things like that to be anything other than frustrating. Especially when he gets help from someone established as weak. There's still hope for this to be a slow burn with payoff despite it looking like a strong from the start story. His personality has to work overtime to compensate for the lack of interesting abilities, meant to be a high school student but acts like a hardened man who's accepted that the world runs on money. It's kinda fun to watch and something I haven't seen pulled off seriously much.
Archmage Transcending Through Regression
Sweet, MC is out here to get shit done. Just the right amount of serious and cunning mixed with confident and a little crazy. The magic isn't utilized as much as you'd think but I think this may change and what is there is fairly in depth. Fun side characters with some genuinely good gags.
Dungeon Odyss
I like the dead eyes bored look MC got, it's cute. He can be really cool or hot sometimes too though. The lil Naga lizard guys are adorable and even the big ones are so wholesome I love them all. It can get a bit dark sometimes though, one of the soldiers dies and another permanently lost an arm. They give a whole sob story to a guy that gets killed minutes later with all his comrades and it hits hard. MC doesn't exactly get emotional but he does seem to like them. Good system, MC hides his power but does cool things in front of an audience often enough to satisfy that itch.
Youngest Scion of the Mages
Not as addicting as my 5 stars generally are. There isn't just one clear flaw, it's more like every aspect is slightly below the benchmark.
Boundless Necromancer
Has potential and art is really good. He gets strong pretty fast, so it doesn't suffer from "boring until halfway through the story" syndrome. The system tries to be unique but it's just meh. No side characters to speak of yet. I'm curious to see if he's in the tower for most of the story or if he's actually getting out kinda quick.
Infinite Mage
Very fun. Smart MC that's pretty relatable. I ended up liking the couple chapters of bromance we got and his family is wholesome too. Interesting magic system and variety in the plot. EDIT: The school arc is kinda generic ngl. EDIT 2: Honestly underwhelming. There aren't that many cool op moments, the magic system makes no sense, it's just made up technobabble. The other characters range from boring to annoying.
Pick Me Up
Original premise. MC becomes an NPC, but it's not really that relevant. What is interesting is the player. Things are a lot different when your perspective is from inside the game, and MC makes an effort to figure out what type of person the player is based on how they interact with the game. Side characters are important for story progression but their actual personalities are just okay.
The Demon Prince goes to the Academy
I know they're saying the prince is evil but I love him. MC is very hot. I like the plot and everything fr but when you ask me what I remember of this series then the answer is eyecandy. EDIT: Down to 4 because it's a harem and dropped because of that + some unfortunate spoilers.
