She Professed Herself The Pupil Of The Wiseman (WN) - Reviews

Name the similar concept novels please

The manga has the exact same name and here is the Japanese name "Kenja No Deshi Wo Nanoru Kenja"

The novel has a slice-of-life vibe, which might initially appear slow-paced to some readers. However, after approximately 15 chapters, the plot picks up pace. It's understandable that the initial chapters might be monotonous, as I myself had to pause a couple of times. Starting from chapter 15 or so, the story becomes warmer and more endearing, with the protagonist defying logic and embarking on adventures, which I find quite charming.

I would recommend those who gave it low ratings to persist a little further, as the engaging parts are saved for later. Personally, I'd rate it 4 out of 5 stars, mainly due to its slower start.

4.5/5 Rating: I've caught up with the latest chapter, and I'd describe the novel as solid, although occasionally拖沓. The world-building and explanations are impressive, but sometimes delve into minutiae that's quickly forgotten. The Thief arc felt excessively talkative, allowing for easy skimming. Thankfully, the logic is sound, and plot holes are minimal, a rarity in fantasy Japanese novels. The MC's power level is well-balanced, and battles are entertaining.

One aspect I appreciate is the MC's methodical approach to honing skills; they take time to analyze, combine, and improve them, providing clear explanations for the reader. This stands out compared to many generic novels where characters instantly master new abilities. The plot is straightforward, with most Wisdom figures found by ch463, though the treaty is still ongoing.

This book is more relaxed, not catering to readers seeking constant action. It has a positive, feel-good vibe, free from backstabbing, betrayal, or gratuitous deaths. It's a comfortable read that allows for easy immersion in the story and lore without demanding too much mental engagement.

The premise may seem far-fetched, a guy with an avatar merging Gandalf and Dumbledore suddenly finding himself in a game turned real, only to discover a shocking twist – he's transformed into a lolicon character. At first glance, it might not sound convincing, but surprisingly, the story becomes quite engaging. It's the thrilling adventures of an overpowered little girl, after all, who wouldn't want to dive into that kind of tale? Well, maybe some would, but let's be honest, in a Japanese novel, the focus is on the lolita aspect first.

This review isn't exactly swaying opinions, huh? Ultimately, people should just read for themselves and decide. So, I urge you, form your own judgment!

The experience was quite enjoyable, evoking similarities with "Only Sense Online" due to the main character's behavior, where he acts girlish yet asserts he's not (at least to himself). The novel is decent as a whole, but lacks uniqueness in its content.

The narrative is excessively wordy and filled with self-congratulatory passages about the main character (MC), which results in a lack of clear focus without a well-defined objective. Although the MC has an endearing quality, the story as a whole could benefit from a more streamlined and goal-oriented approach.

I was initially hesitant due to the genderbending nature, but I'm glad I decided to give it a chance. After the anime got the green light, I found it quite enjoyable. The story offers a fresh perspective with the integration of aliens as rulers, and the fact that the heroine's best friend is the king, allowing her to balance adventure and governance, was a nice touch. Although there were some crude jokes, they were minimal and didn't detract from the main plot.

The protagonist's character, despite having a class A pervert tendency, uses her appearance tactfully and genuinely cares about others. Her flaws add depth to her character.

To my surprise, the plot surpassed my initial expectations based on the title and premise. The artwork is stunning; the illustrator deserves high praise. The main storyline revolves around Mira's global quest to find the other Wiseman, comparing her observations to the gaming era. Along the way, she uncovers a sinister plot involving the abduction of friendly spirits and a rival religious group.

In conclusion, though the anime might not have been everyone's cup of tea, it opened my eyes to a genre I hadn't tried before – genderbender isekai. It stands second only to female OP isekai for me, with otome isekai being another alternative. Some of my favorite isekai series include "Sense Online," "A Last Wild Boss Appeared," and "Hero's Daughter." The upcoming "Reborn to Master the Blade" trailer looks promising, so let's hope for a solid execution.

I haven't even reached Chapter 7 yet, and I'm already struggling to continue. There are numerous issues with the setting and characters that bother me. The story feels incredibly detached from reality, even within a fantasy context. Characters should exhibit relatable behavior, like being human (logical, emotional, or empathetic), but these characters act more like robots or aliens. The author's portrayal of society after VR technology dominates is absurd - an EMP would render their entire world collapse, and I'm unsure how society functions in this setup.

The game itself is full of inconsistencies. A character claims to have played for four years, yet their stats, skills, and equipment remain stagnant. It's baffling how they expect old players to adapt to a transformed reality. When the protagonist regains consciousness, they instinctively chew on grass and taste their drool, yet overlook their gender change. This character lacks foresight, planning, and caution, displaying unusual behaviors like staring at butterflies and ignoring conversations.

The game mechanics are intrusive, forcing players to join a country with harsh consequences if they don't comply. This indicates a poorly designed "trash" game, considering it's received only two updates in four years, which might be a relief for players. The lack of technological progress for those trapped in the game for 30 years makes it reminiscent of "Log Horizon," where everyone is essentially primitive.

There are countless other problems, but ultimately, the lack of depth and immersion in the details is disappointing. Based on these issues, my rating would be:

2/5

Finding the concept ridiculous, I'd give it an even lower score:

1/5

This is an intriguing narrative. An indeterminate number of players suddenly find themselves in the virtual world they once inhabited as their avatars. The protagonist, who utilized an item to transform their avatar into their idealized female form – a creative storytelling device – embarks on this journey. The story features several unexpected twists, thought-provoking perspectives, and well-developed explanations that address these events.

One notable aspect is the character's shift in perception towards non-playable characters (NPCs) following the 'Isekai' experience. Although the author doesn't delve into a deep analysis, the change in the MC's feelings and decision-making process is skillfully portrayed.

The plot, although progressing steadily, primarily focuses on the MC's exploration of this new reality, the contrasts with the game, and the diverse adventures, both big and small, that unfold. It's a tale of self-discovery and adaptation within a captivating alternate universe.

I wholeheartedly recommend this series to fans of compelling gender-bending main characters. The storyline is engaging and especially delightful when witnessing the protagonist's growth. However, I must caution against reading the UndefTrans translations of chapters 48-57, as they are extremely hard to follow and detract from the overall reading experience. It's advisable to wait for more accurate translations to be available, although the pace might be slower currently, the series remains an enjoyable read.

The narrative surrounding Mira (the main character) is captivating, as she finds herself trapped in a reality-infused online game with meticulous world-building. The character development is exceptional and makes for an enjoyable way to pass the time. Although the translation process faced significant challenges from the language groups involved, with a slow release pace, the end result is definitely worth the wait!
