Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation (Light Novel) Vol. 1

It's worth it

The First Volume is so well written aha, Got the Missing details left from Manga Instantly fell in love reading LN, after binging thorough manga, could not have waited the long adaptation time

It came in surprisingly in good condition. Can't wait to buy moree

I have read a lot of isekai stories. This story of a man who got reincarnated is funny. I surely shall read the next volumes. I can recommend this novel

This book is a solid translation of a very well written Japanese light novel that follows the plot of the web novel almost on point. Plot wise (spoilers alert even if minors): Jobless person reincarnates in a fantasy world as a child and strives to become a better person. Even if it sounds stupid and basic as a concept, the author writing and plot are amazing in which things that happened in volume 1 will affect volumes 7, 12 and 16; other than that, the plot is rational even if it includes typical anime quirks from time to time (overly sexual content due to MC being an open pervert from minute 1, and staying in character for the duration of the series). Changes from Web novel: The bigger changes were mostly toning down some sexualized content without actually deleting it, just basically trimming around the edges of the most eccentric stuff. Other changes were pacing and some content that was removed due to not being needed and even being boring and moving chapters around to set a better pace. English version: The adaptation includes swapping Japanese wording to a very accurate (even if at times a bit too informal) English market and the content is solid. Biggest sore point was first Lilia's chapter that was written in third person (as it was in the Light novel), while the rest of chapters that follow other people's Point of View are written in the first person (2nd Lilia's chapter, Zenith's and Paul's). It should have been consistent, but at least the redeemed themselves fixing the rest of the chapters (I believe Japanese LN was in third person mostly). Things to be Aware of: This series is a 24 Volume long + Extras one, so depending on Seven Seas, there could be future issues with releases, but at the time, there is a third volume scheduled for July, and this series is one of the best of the genre plot and character-wise so it shouldn't be a problem, just mentioning that it will take a while to finish and it will be a ton of volumes. Sexual themes: There will be some, and even be key points in the story due to relationships affecting the plot so I will say this series is at least PG-15/16 as there is no explicit content to be depicted, but wanted to mention it. Controversy: There are "grey themes" from time to time as this is more of a Seinen than a typical Shounen book, and the author had to even go back in the content of the book at certain points, so I will repeat the PG-15/16 theme for this series and for parents to be careful. I only got the digital copy, so I cannot speak for the printing quality.

If you can avoid any book published by "Seven Seas Entertainment", they love to censor stuff that shouldn't be touched. Novel itself is great(in it original version)

No-spoiler (e a tal proposito, evitate di leggere le sinossi dei volumi dal 2 in su, sono dei parziali spoiler anche quelli a mio avviso) Se vi piacciono i generi: isekai + sword & magic (fantasy) vi stra-consiglio questa light-novel, assolutamente da leggere. Fin'ora sono arrivato a leggere fino al vol.10, è molto interessante e mantiene un buon livello di qualità da un volume all'altro senza 'arenarsi' in situazioni monotone e noiose. È un isekai fantasy con un buon mix di elementi: avventura, ecchi, romance, psicologico, vita quotidiana, esplorazione, ecc... Inoltre il protagonista non è il classico personaggio 'bravo ragazzo' trito e ritrito. Come detto sopra, è una novel che non si fossilizza in una particolare macro-situazione diventando poco a poco monotona ; rimane invece molto dinamica da un volume all'altro. Molto bella, da leggere se interessati al genere.

Wer den Anime mag und weder Manga noch Bücher mag sollte die Novel trotzdem mal versuchen. Ich mag weder Manga noch Novels aber da mich die Story "hyped" macht es mir sogar spaß zu lesen. Viel ausführlicher als der Anime/ Manga
