About this eBook

Suimei and two of his best friends find themselves mysteriously summoned to another world. There's a cute princess, magic galore, a Demon Lord that needs to be defeated, and a world that needs to be saved--the works! Too bad Suimei isn't interested. His friends are all too ready to play the parts of heroes, but Suimei just wants to get home. He has an advantage as a magician... but he's in for a rude awakening when he finds out what actually passes for magic in these parts.

Ratings and reviews

underwhelming. needless exposition dumps. ZERO character traits outside the typical anime tropes. this book brings nothing to the table, the world building in this book is non existent. I just want my money and my time back - clearly I won't get either one. what drew me to buying this was that the MC said exactly what I thought of every time I've seen or read an isekai. "why would I care to help my kidnappers, risking my life for their conflict" paraphrased. aside from literally just that line, which was completely ignored, there was nothing else meaningful in this book after that point. I will avoid the rest of this series, as well as this author and publishers future works.

I accidentally purchased the manga instead of the light novel. I tried to go through Google to get a refund and they said they couldn't. Unfortunately I have wasted an entire day trying to figure out how to get in contact with the third party who put their book on the website. Hopefully you'll get in contact me after this bad review. You should make it more easier to be able to get a refund even if it's partially. It is really upsetting that I had to spend a whole day and I still couldn't find out how to get in contact with you.

Just awful writing. The characters really don't make any sense to me and the MC in particular can't seem to decide what his purpose in the story actually is! I made it halfway through the second book before writing this review but if anything it only gets worse. Read the sample before you buy!
