About this ebook

When sarcastic loner Haruka gets transported with his class to another world, he's not wild about adventuring, but he wouldn't mind having some cool powers. Unfortunately, he's last in line when the magic cheat skills get divvied up, so by the time it's Haruka's turn, there are no good choices left. Now Haruka will have to take on this fantasy world the hard way--on his own, with a hodgepodge of bizarre skills! When infighting and chaos break out among his classmates, can this loner come to the rescue?

Ratings and reviews

it's good for a bit, before you start realizing that the MC doesn't get any better than he is at the beginning. He's a clueless dick and is just frustrating to read about. The author sometimes goes into another character's POV, and it's better than the MC, but still mostly garbage. Everyone cries at the drop of a hat, it's ridiculous. Seriously, it's like the author has a fetish for it. "Oh I'm soooo smart and cool and anyone I lightly insult cries instantly" type of deal.

started interesting and devolved into simplistic, childish writing. You can skip several chapters at a time without losing any "story". Once you read where he demonstrates killing kobold without being very informative, his depth loses dimension and substance to become a literal child and the girls' stories become more interesting. At this point the dialog becomes a wreck, and loses credibility that there supposed to be real characters speaking, transitioning into speech simply there to tell the same joke over and over and over again.

I picked up the book because the premise sounded interesting but the author makes no effort to develop the main character. Even with the explanation at the beginning that the skills can effect the person that owns them it doesn't excuse poor character development.
