Hellmode ~A Hardcore Gamer Becomes Peerless in Another World with Retro Game Settings~

It’s definitely not bad and does lots of things well, but the actual dialog and finer details can sometimes seem as if they were written by a grade schooler. Of course, that’s not to say that the author can’t effectively get their point across. The pacing, rate of growth, and the usefulness of side characters are done well and the author clearly knows how he wants the overall plot to develop. The main problems are that many of the devices to move the plot forward are mediocre and predictable, most things go to plan, most urgent problems that are fixed within a couple chapters at most with no consequences, and the main character is just better than everyone else at their jobs even if they have a millennia of experience in some cases. Finally the characters do have motivations and struggles, but they typically fall a bit flat due to us focusing too much on the borderline high-functioning psychopath of an MC. It’s genuinely not bad for those who like power fantasies like me though.

This a good slow paced isekai. It's not the best but it's better than your average fast food isekai. If you want fast paced version of this read the manga

Solid read, kept me interested for the first hundred and thirty chapters! Not a lot of books can keep me entranced like this one. I highly recommend this web novel since it isn't like many I have seen. NOT A HAREM THANK YOU! I do wish there was some sort of romance because I am a reader of a certain kind :) but then again they are like 14 so it is definitely for the best he doesn't ship anyone. Well for real, I love this novel but it did tend to bore me around chapter 150 and found it hard to read because it got super technical around his skills only. Got sort of repetitive. This could just be me not willing to read so much about the hierarchies and politics. I find those books to be the most boring to read in the entire world, it is hard enough to just watch the news :I Does have a lot of fights so I enjoyed those. Hope this has helped

This is a great pick. I love the way of character development here and not to mention the MC is not op but is highly intelligent makes it more interesting and worthwhile. The setting of the world and the way the author introduces the demon king and his army and the main plot of the story is good. Guys have a nice time reading this epic novel.

For a isekai rpg trope it has a wonderful twist to it. The story doesent realy throw random powerups or random harem waifus at you so +for that. Im enjoying reading it. I just realy realy hate the title xP

Really good!! It's a summon novel but rather than focusing on super rare unique summons goes for a more video-gaming approach with a linear summon system, which I haven't seen before. Read all 121 chapters and excited for more!

I like the concept of this novel, the pacing is understandable and not rushed. The growth of the MC is steady and "realistic", with a lot of details included in the story to make you more interested in it (family development, making friends, implementing strategies in fighting monsters, ...). Fight scenes have a certain logic to them, with decent planning put into it. The MC isn't cunning or scheming (so-far), but he is smart and prefer it that way. The only thing I don't like is the extensive stat/abilities windows. And...

I hope that as a summoner in the future he will be able to summon something more interesting and awesome then eagles, bears and insects.

I will certainly keep an eye on this novel, already have it in my library. Have fun guys.
