Kaito, Seriously? Another Series? #1
Kaito, Seriously? Another World?: A LitRPG Adventure
A laugh-out-loud, slice-of-life LitRPG story of an overpowered hero...and the system AI is having a terrible time.
After too many lifetimes to count of slaying demons and grinding levels, prophesied hero Kaito finally tells destiny where to shove it.
He's done.
When dimensional portal #17 drops him in front of an enthralled king begging him to vanquish the looming Dark Army, he does what any retired adventurer would do—politely refuses and heads off to focus on the simple pleasures of community, and getting his taxes done on time.
No more impossible quests, no more magical MacGuffins, no more final bosses. Kaito is putting his armor out to pasture for good in a cozy village baking hell-herbs and bread. He's found peace. He's found home. He's finally free to live out his slice-of-life fantasy.

Enjoyable read
Really enjoyed the concept and the overall story of the book. Looking forward to how the story progresses and where the characters move forward.

Very good
This is a quick read, but it's very good. It's equal parts cozy, silly, and slice of life. It's the perfect palate cleanser if you have been binging on books with a darker plot.
Highly recommended.

This is probably a great story overall. Just not my jam. I quit 20% of the way into it.
The MC is the hero who always gets summoned in the isekai stories and after playing the part of the hero and dying tragically fighting the big bad guy numerous times he has had enough. He tells the king to go suck an egg and takes off to find a forgotten normal town to live a quiet peaceful life.
What ruined it for me wasn’t the MC, but the annoying, arrogant, side characters with delusions of grandeur that keep bugging him to solve this problem, train them in the mystical arts, or defeat this villain. The author did too good of a job making them annoying unfortunately.
I also enjoy watching a character progress and develop their powers. When an MC is instantly OP and can kill anything with a snap of their fingers from page one is when I lose all interest.

Good work but not for me
Overall, good story and the writing isn’t bad. This was a typical extremely OP character with a desire to retire. So of course, most of the story had to be told from the perspective of the side characters. And of course we can’t have your typical retirement story. Despite all this, I could not get really into this story. I cannot really say why it might be the pure random acts of chaos that seems to crop up all the time or maybe the bland personality of the main character.

This would make a funny Anime!
31% of the way into the book and I was bored. Everything that happens is obvious.
A hero who has been repeatedly summoned in the past by multiple worlds and now has god like powers is just DONE! If someone could make an Anime of this it would be better as the expressions and voice of the characters would be fun to watch; but reading it is quite boring.
Hope you like it more than I did.

Needs editing
This story started alright and then quickly fell apart. The characters make little sense and their actions make even less sense. The editing is bad (if it happened) and the whole thing feels like it has no actual plot line. It was very clear that it was a badly translated light novel. Overall not worth the time

fun
Kaito got summoned to be the Hero and noped right out of it. Instead he found a quiet village to try and be a baker. Try as he might, the Hero’s call keeps knocking. He keeps finding ways to avoid it, but in doing so he only builds his image as the Hero.
It’s a fun listen.Great narrator. Good story. Please enjoy

I thought Book 1 was good. Good balance of action and comedy. But Book 2 was really, really good. I felt like the characters got the development they deserved, the story took shape, and I am glad I decided to give Book 2 a chance - Loved it!

A fun read
I enjoyed the storyline. It was well told. I also like the characters. I can't decide if I should feel sorry for Kaito or cheer him on with the fun he's having with the system. It's pretty amusing

Not bad
Really loved the baking. It was just the right touch of cooking and tasting so you didn't get bogged down. Good story.

MC was a jerk from the beginning; I wasn't interested in reading more.

Awesome Read
I just read this book in one sitting. The prose carried me through. Even when I knew the story was slow somehow I would keep going.

If you find the first chapter funny, I imagine you’ll enjoy the rest. I didn’t.

Funny but,
Reads like an AI write it. Very disconnected and disjointed. It has several funny bits that make the start pretty good, but they get old by the middle section. By the end I was skimming more than I was reading and missed nothing.

What happened to the "hero"
The mc was lost in this story, it was all about the other characters instead. The other heroes were actually villains . The village he stopped in was too unbelievable, no one resisted his help or resented him being there. There was no power struggle like there would have been in a real village!! I guess that is why this book is called fantasy!!
