2.5 rounded up for being (intentionally) funnier than I expected. I'll forgive a lot for a good sense of humor.
Full review eventually appearing on ANN.

Extrait :
Nouvelle chronique, pour un nouveau Isekai à croire que c’est la mode en ce moment, mais personnellement ça ne me dérange pas… Je ne m’attarde que peux sur le vue et revue tant qu’il y a un minimum de choses à côté qui me donne envie de lire la suite ! (Après tout, beaucoup de séries se ressemblent et on ne verrait/lirait pas grand chose si on s’arrêter au premier « déjà vu »).
Malgré tout, je pense que je suis un peu obliger de vous en parler de ses banalités. Pour commencer, c’est la classe entière qui se fait téléporter dans un autre monde (déjà vu dans : Je suis un Assassin... notamment). Deuxièmement, ils apparaissent devant un dieu (presque tout les titres). Après pour le moment, je n’ai pas vue d’autres éléments vraiment récurrent, ou ils ne m’ont tout simplement pas marquée.
Pour le côté « innovation » (car celle-ci ne tient qu’à mes propres lectures, donc au final, peut-être que ça existe ailleurs…). Et bien, on peut reprendre le paragraphe précédent… Lors du transfert de la classe, notre protagoniste comprenait la situation (ce qui n’est pas le cas le plus souvent), de plus, cela ne lui convenait pas, il c’était donc un peu caché… mais comme vous l’avez deviné, ça n’a pas marché. La partie concernant le dieu est également assez drôle et rafraichissante car pour une fois, il sert clairement à rien… Pareil, au début, on remarque qu’il est spécifié que plusieurs groupes existe au sein de la classe (comme partout), je pense que cette information aura une importance plus ou moins importante par la suite…

J’ai un million de séries de mangas entamées mais il faut toujours que j’en entame un autre million. Je ne peux clairement pas m’en empêcher. Et au final ma PAL manga ne cesse d’augmenter au lieu de baisser. Mais bon que voulez-vous! Haha. Ce titre me faisait vraiment très envie. Le résumé me donnait l’impression que cette histoire était bourré d’humour. Et je ne me suis pas trompé. Ce premier tome était vraiment hyper plaisant à lire et j’ai adoré cette histoire. Je suis impatiente de découvrir la suite des aventures de Haruka. J’ai beaucoup ri durant ma lecture et c’est ça fait tellement de bien une lecture aussi légère que ça!
On va suivre le personnage de Haruka, un jeune lycéen solitaire. Il passe son temps seul à lire des livres. Sauf qu’un jour alors qu’ils sont en classe, lui et les autres élèves sont envoyés dans un autre monde, style RPG. Quand vient le tour de Haruka de choisir ses skills il se rend compte qu’il est le dernier à passer et qu’il ne reste que des skills complètement pourri.. Le dieu de l’autre monde lui octroie donc tous les skills restants et hérite de toutes ces choses dont personne ne voulait.. Il va devoir se faire à sa nouvelle vie avec des skills complètement nul et en plus de ça, faire ça tout seul puisque même dans ce monde il est un solitaire.
J’ai vraiment adoré ce premier tome. J’adore surtout le côté humour très prononcé dans l’histoire. Un peu comme si il fallait tout prendre à la légère. Et justement, je trouve que ça apporte un vrai côté léger à l’histoire c’est très plaisant. J’ai beaucoup aimé le personnage de Haruka, c’est un vrai solitaire qui passe son temps dans son coin. Mais dans ce monde là, il aurait aimé faire équipe avec d’autres personnes. Malheureusement pour lui il est solitaire et donc ne peut faire équipe avec personne. Il est plutôt ravi d’être dans un nouveau monde, même si il a des skills tout naze, mais c’est comme si il plongeait dans un monde issu des livres qu’il lit. En tout cas, il s’en sort vraiment pas mal avec les capacités qu’il a. Il s’en sort bien mieux que tous les autres de sa classe en tout cas.
Ce premier tome est, selon moi, très prometteur. L’histoire est intéressante, on se demande ce qu’il va arriver par la suite. Surtout avec cette fin, elle nous laisse avec de sacrées interrogations pour le coup! Les personnages sont vraiment pas mal, surtout Haruka. Il évolue parfaitement bien dans son nouveau monde, comme si il habitait là depuis tellement d’années. J’ai beaucoup aimé le groupe des otas même si on ne les voit que très peu. Le groupe des pestes également. Le rythme est top, ça s’enchaine très bien, c’est peut être un peu redondant mais au final c’est super agréable. Il me tarde vraiment d’avoir la suite

I’m really enjoying this one so far! It plays with all the tropes in a self aware way, and Haruka is an oddball protagonist. His attempt to escape the summoning backfired, but on the other hand he got a ton of (weird) skills that may or may not suck. They certainly interact in unusual ways, and he’s applying them in unconventional manner, like using “packing” to learn any spell he “packs.” He may feel it’s all minor abilities, but he’s living the most comfortably of any of them. If I were the girls, I’d see if he could make clothes instead of wearing my dirty school uniform the whole time…I’m also surprised they so quickly wanted to travel to town instead of relaxing and living safely in his cave for longer. Although maybe that’s his loner status chasing them off? Except he’s going along 😅
The class stayed together remarkably well for such different people. They’re fairly good natured, overall. I love how the otaku were apparently prepared for this and did the best 😆 unfortunately the delinquents seem unreformable, and we now have a sinister someone apparently murdering other students in search of some skill. Is he able to steal abilities? What happens to the guys who got their puppet skills sealed? I’m very curious where it’s heading.
It’s handy that the author can make up skills as needed for Haruka (how the heck do contact lenses mean he can see in a dark forest?? They didn’t imply they were for anything other than normal vision!). It didn’t explain how the servant spell on the bimbos wore off, or whether they learned from him at all in that state. But hey, he has the catch all “luck,” so that should serve to get him out of anything.

As a person who has often dreamed of being whisked off into another world, I found this first volume of "Loner Life in Another World" fairly entertaining. The story follows a loner protagonist who gets sucked into a strange, DnD-style world along with all of his classmates.
I really appreciate the humor in this first volume. It's very self-aware, which helps a lot of the otherwise cliche elements of the story be enjoyable. I also like that the protagonist seems fully prepared to take on this fantasy world. It's a minor thing that always bothers me about similar stories when protagonists seem like they have never even considered what it would be like to suddenly be transported to another realm. That problem doesn't exist in this story, and in that way, I find the protagonist in this volume far more relatable.
Overall, I think this was a fun read, especially for fans of table-top RPGs.

** MASSIVE SPOILERS BELOW **

I have read up to Chapter 239. This is a surprisingly great manga. It's not the usual Isekai trash, even if it does lean into some of the usual tropes. It has a bit of a rocky start, but is very rewarding to stick with. The manga also departs from the light novels and has eliminated all the nasty lewd nonsense... it's (mostly) wholesome.
Haruka does not want to acknowledge the love he has for those around him and always tries to find a way to frame his compassionate actions as ways to further his ambitions. Haruka gets a little more open throughout this series, but still is unable to shed his 'loner mask.' He has never been alone... he purposefully isolates himself. His need to feel worthy is literally killing him, as he is constantly trying to hold the weight of the world upon his shoulders. It'll be interesting to see how his classmates and everyone else he's saved will help him find his way out of this hole he's digging.

Haruka (a true loner) and his entire class are transported to another world where they're equipped with skills to help them survive. Only he's the last to make the transfer, and all the coolest skills are taken. Left with the scraps, he sets about doing his own thing. Except his classmates (even with their snazzy abilities) aren't faring too well. So Haruka is stuck trying to help them out while maintaining his loner status.
Definitely fits the LitRPG category, but it skims the surface of the genre. Feels dumbed down and oversimplified. Kid stuff. (Though it's hardly fair to compare this to a 700+ page novel.) May give it a couple more volumes to see if we move past the basics.

Esperaba algo más que esto.
La historia maneja mucho la comedia pero en cierto punto llega a ser cansado y demasiado forzado.
El grupo de escuela del protagonista es invocado a otro mundo, el en un intento de evitarlo sube al techo del salón y resulta en qué es el último en llegar. Cuando se encuentra con el Dios que los invoco se da cuenta de que... Todas las habilidades buenas y equipo han sido tomadas siendo que el se queda con las "sobras" pero pese a ello y sin explicación aparente se vuelve super fuerte aún cuando él es de bajo nivel.

This is actually one of the most entertaining and funnier manga books I’ve ever read. Not only is the humor unique & witty, but the jokes are also tailored very specifically to manga, alternative reality, and video games. I can’t explain it unless you read it for yourself.
This manga was such a page turner that I ended up buying the next three volumes and cannot wait to read more! I love the entire storyline so far and the details about skill development, party members, and leveling up.
Highly recommend this series and it’s probably one of my favorites byfar.

Ongoing Manga with weekly updates.
Enjoyed the progress so far and excited that my local library has started offering Manga!
Cute story about a loner kid who ends up trapped with the rest of his class in another world - as the book title states.
Nice character progression and cute Zelda style levels complete with mazes, dungeons and boss fights.

Cool
Nice change of pace. Although it has simular isekai tropes the skills make it hard for him to be around others. I will see how this plays out. That servitude skill is gonna be his way to get companions I know it.

This book takes a hot minute, but when you get there, laughs and punchlines all the way, especially soy sauce.

Pretty fun so far.

Being a loner is by choice in this. But is it really much of choice when the caliber of other people seems to be so low? Also, a head’s up, there are some hints of surprisingly dark stuff in this.

A fun read, it’s silly and easy to identify with the MC. A creative variation on ‘I got isekaied!”
The interaction with god at the beginning was hilarious.

Haruki likes to stay to himself and prefers not to worry about the drama of the groups of other classmates. All of a sudden there's a light on the ground of his classroom and Haruki escapes to the ceiling but is transported with his class to another world. Since Haruki escaped he was transported to a white void and the "god" had to find him. When he was found all the good skills were already taken and the god felt bad so he gave him all that was left. Turns out it wasn't quite as bad as Haruki thought it was going to be. He was able to make a nice home in a cave and survive. He hid from some classmates while out trying to fight monsters and eventually discovers what happens with his classmates. The characters were pretty realistic and it was funny to hear what they tried to do to survive.
