two many double chapters. you have to skip every other chapter because it's the same
This is one of the best books I have read. I can imagine the scenery and the characters are so realistic. Great job to the author
Looking good so far, just some grammar and tense problems but I'd like to see how it goes from here.
It's intriguing........love it

I was introduced to this novel through its anime adaptation. The anime was good; what I enjoyed most was its comedy, which sparked my interest in finding the original novel to stay ahead of the anime. I’m an impatient person and often read the novels when I like an anime.
Now, regarding the novel, I must say that while it has potential, it ultimately disappointed me. It’s just not the novel for me.
The novel begins with the typical setup of the main character (MC) being summoned to save the world, but with a twist: the MC is overly cautious. While the title suggests something intriguing, the story doesn’t live up to its promise. Powerful characters lose their significance as the narrative progresses, while initially unimportant characters gain more value. The scale of the world-saving operation and the actions of the gods and goddesses don’t align well with the MC’s involvement. For example, it’s like a historical multi-trillion-dollar company with centuries of background, where the original founders and managers are still in charge, but when the MC is involved, these seasoned leaders are reduced to toddlers who can’t even suck their thumbs without his help.
If the story had taken a different direction—such as the MC being summoned to save the world without any direct interaction with the gods or the god realm, and without a love interest at the very beginning—it might have been a more compelling read. The concept of a cautious MC is promising, but its execution in this story was a disaster.
The narrative is quite unengaging. It lacks depth, intrigue, world-building, and substantial character growth. It feels like comparing a simple dish of water and bread to soup – technically correct, but乏善可陈. I wouldn't recommend it. In essence, it's a tale about friendship triumphing, suitable perhaps for those seeking a lighthearted, child-friendly read.
However, if you appreciate well-developed characters and intricate plots, this might not be your cup of tea. The character development here is somewhat superficial, with changes in perspective occurring abruptly rather than through genuine learning experiences. Human behavior is often complex, and this novel oversimplifies, making the world feel shallow.
Additionally, the author overlooks crucial details, such as the MC's extraordinary display of strength against knights, which should elicit more惊讶 or awe. The pacing is also off, with a god defeated early on, leaving no room for tension or anticipation.
This story revolves around an overpowered protagonist who struggles to engage the reader due to their overwhelming abilities. The supporting cast lacks distinct personalities, reducing them to mere plot devices. Lastly, the portrayal of gods as one-dimensional villains, here reduced to a clichéd alley encounter, falls flat.
In comparison, a book like "One Punch Man" or "Mob Psycho 100" excels in world-building, character development, and humor, while this one fails to capture the same level of interest despite its battle-centric premise. It's like expecting an epic culinary journey in "Shokugeki no Soma" but instead getting a repetitive lesson on friendship in ordinary settings.
Overall, this is a light, unchallenging story about a powerful main character that fails to resonate due to its lack of substance and engaging elements. The supporting characters pale in comparison to other works, and the portrayal of gods feels trite.
I'll make it brief and straightforward. Instead of this book, I recommend reading "The Rising of the Shield Hero." Both Shield Hero and Arifureta share a common theme with protagonists who are initially innocent yet face societal rejection from their peers. Both main characters undergo a significant event that alters their personalities, turning them darker and stronger. However, beyond these parallels, there are notable differences.
In Shield Hero, the protagonist, Naofumi, possesses a distinct personality, evolving from an edgy teenager who acts impulsively and rejects others, save for his harem, without a clear goal. On the other hand, the Arifureta protagonist, Nagumo, lacks a defined character arc and often acts on impulse with no clear direction.
While I enjoyed the first volume of Arifureta, my appreciation waned as the protagonist's behavior became unbearable for me. It's a shame that such a promising start couldn't be sustained.
sorry still didn't go back to read it
