Reviews:
This is my review for the light novel and manga of Mashoku Tensei.
The story: 10/10
As reading the first volume of the story, you will then realize that this story is so worth the time to read you'll not get bored because it not just an generic isekai( Reincarnation) story as like the other story who then the character will be OP(Over Powered) and continue their journey and then continue to have more power then have their harem. This story is not like that because of every chapter has a unexpected plot twist that will get your interest that much that you will then realize that you can stop reading.
The manga adaptation meanwhile I guest it has a short coming because the story was compressed and the detail about the character and development of the character can't just be illustrated on a 30 page manga. So be sure to read the light novel for the more detailed story line.
Art: 8/10
Though the Light novel doesn't have that much illustration, I think just 1 to 2 illustration in every chapter for the detailing of the story. But SiroTaka made a good job on the character details. But sometimes the illustration doesn't make sense on the story.
In Manga, Yuka's illustration, as he just get the character design from SiroTaka he then manage to bring life to the character and the story. The illustration of the setting does made sense for me because I have read the light novel before reading the manga.
Characters: 10/10
The author made a good job in characters, the development was not that fast but not as slow. The author allows you to see how the main protagonist develop from a Neet otaku to grow in his word and he use his knowledge from his previous life. While you are through every chapter you will then realize that every characters have their own developments.
Overall: 9/10
This is very entertaining to read that you'll never regret your time reading it. The novel is so easy to read . Everything was thoroughly detailed and illustrated that you will easily get the story without a hitch. But the content is mostly mature so I don't recommend it for the person who dislike mature content also for those who are underage. That is because of the protagonist personality that remain from his past life he is a literary the body of pervert.
