I loved the first volume of this manga and the first episode or two of the anime, but fair warning, after that it seems to slip into just some kinda cozy harem trope. I don't know if I'm going to continue it. I liked the idea of someone being summoned to another world to be hero and mistaken for a low-level character, only to find out he's omnipotent. And it was super relatable to me that he would not return to the king and show off his strength, but instead changes his identity to live a private life as a god. XD But he collects a harem of girls and starts farming after that, so...I just don't know how I'm going to feel about this manga as it goes. I need some action and adventure, not just livin the farm life.

Another isekai and another one of them I really like!
The characters so far have been great, the relationship between Flio and Rys is so adorable! I cant wait to read more of this series!
2024: a re-read because I've had a gap in the series for ages and finally filled it, but felt like I needed a refresh of the series! Just as good as the first time!

This is a very cute little isekai manga that does thing a little differently since the protagonist isn't a modern day Japanese man but a citizen of another fantasy world with a different set of magic and moral norms. Highly recommended.

I needed to suspend some disbelief, but when I did, I had a great time.

Je ne sais pas vous mais personnellement lorsque je choisis les mangas que je veux lire, je regarde beaucoup la couverture. Je ne juge pas uniquement qu’à la couverture mais je ne vous cache pas que c’est un des critères principal. Puis vient le résumé, si tout me plait c’est parti pour la lecture! J’ai adoré la couverture de celui ci, le résumé m’a beaucoup tenté. Moi qui suit fan de Fantasy, j’ai été ravi de plonger dans cet univers.
On va suivre le personnage de Banaza, alors qu’il est un simple marchand, il finit par être invoqué dans un autre monde en tant que candidat héros au fort potentiel. Il est rapidement recalé à cause de ses faibles aptitudes. Il finit par se faire bannir dans une région éloignée. Suite à une attaque de monstre, il voit finalement ses statistiques augmenter.. Pour lui hors de question de changer sa vie, il continue de mener sa petite ville tranquille dans sa région éloignée jusqu’au jour où il fait la rencontre d’une fille démon…
J’ai vraiment beaucoup aimé l’ambiance de ce manga, on est plongé dans un monde Fantasy et j’aime tellement ce genre! J’ai adoré le personnage de Banaza qui n’a rien du héros classique. Ici on n’est pas face à un héros surpuissant qui gagne tout etc au contraire le héros est très banal au premier abord, il n’est pas doté d’une énorme puissance comme on peut s’y attendre. Je le trouve vraiment adorable et fait tout pour aider les autres, il fonce parfois d’ailleurs tête baissé!
Ce premier tome m’a vraiment beaucoup plu! J’ai hâte de découvrir la suite, cette série a vraiment beaucoup me plaire. Visuellement parlant c’est un vrai régal, j’aime beaucoup le coup de crayon, les illustrations sont vraiment belle et nous plonge encore plus dans cet univers. Vivement la suite!

I absolutely adore this manga. It's so good. The art is fabulous and the mc is fabulous.

I *almost* like the manga's style more than the anime's, but there are odd parts that feel weird. For instance, Banaza looks even MORE identical to his Flio "disguise," such that I honestly don't see how people DON'T recognise him (other than nobody he's met so far as Flio has seen his original face). Guy isn't terribly adventurous, is he? Props to at least TRYING the sex change option, though, even if I get that—unless it's something you want specifically—it's better to more or less keep the body you know.
Anyway, this series feels so much like it wanted to be an isekai that wasn't really: Banaza is transported FROM a world very like the one he's NOW in, vs. from a contemporary world or to a futuristic one (or at least not a high-fantasy world). There are lots of ways to make a non-isekai isekai, though... I wonder if the creators just wanted a form of overpowered hero is cast aside by the party who underestimates him (and, unfortunately, to date it's ALWAYS him vs. her/them/etc.) story.
It's SORT of a cute take, though, even if sometimes Rys become unbearable in her devotion (almost worse than Juvia), and things go a bit TOO smoothly... that's pretty standard for "overpowered isekai hero," though. Even befriending his harem goes rather smoothly, though I guess it's perfectly understandable to know when someone else is better and ask for help. (Harem, though!)
Recommended for isekai fans, I guess. I mean, I think it's OKAY, but I'm not keeping the series or anything.

Well, on the one hand it was different that he wasn’t isekai’d from Japan - he came from another fantasy type realm that had magic and Demi humans, so he’s at least got a foundation there. He accepts his new world pretty easily, gets compensation from the corrupt king, and is sent on his way, immediately deciding to start working. It was an ok start that reminded me of Campfire Cooking in Another World. However, it went downhill fast, with the tropes piling on faster than reasonably possible.
Ok, he’s got infinite powers that only unlocked after level 2, which was really easy to achieve. His handy stats also advise him on spells to use, and unbidden warns him of danger and suggests magic solutions. It even suggest helpful spells like teleportation and directions when he thinks about how to get around. It’s like the best personal assistant ever. Even though he silenced the notifications, it still seems to easily communicate with him, so…🤷🏻♀️ it’s just a convenient plot device, I guess. He doesn’t understand the infinity symbol, so persists in thinking his stat window is broken and that spells are easy. Naturally he can purify the whole forest full of demons and teleport without any effort.
The author does the thing where value of money makes no sense. He has the equivalent of 100,000 gold pieces from the king, and 1 gold piece = 10 silver pieces. A guild membership costs 1 silver, and he muses that he better start working, since he doesn’t have as much money as he thought. Uh. He has 1,000,000 silver pieces. Even if guild membership was the equivalent of $1, he has a million dollars! How is that not much money?
Then he rapidly meets a collection of women, each of a different stereotypical category - knight, mage, beast/demon, etc. The knight’s group seems strong, but fails immediately and needs rescuing from him. The demon-fenrir completely loses, and because he’s such a principled guy, he refuses to use Subjugate on her (though he uses Obedience on a psycho bear later without a qualm). Naturally she’s super grateful and stops being demonic, clinging to him and fawning all over. She begs him to take her as a slave and he - so principled! - refuses and takes her as his wife instead. In name only, but that quickly gets forgotten. So now he’s got the tropiest of all tropes - a fenrir companion who is ALSO a furry demon wife and strongest fighter ever. Oh, and he meets up with the other women again, saves their lives and offers to teach them how to fight because, despite their show of strength previously, they actually suck at fighting. Not sure why they’re running around trying to kill psycho bears that wiped out nearly 10,000 soldiers if they’re weak, but there you go. I’m sensing a potential harem 🙄
Meanwhile the supposed hero is a narcissistic loser. They could do a better job laying out panels, because at first I thought the demon lord had the same face as the hero.
Anyway, I might continue reading, but only because it’s an easy read. I have very low expectations at this point.

This summoned to another world, isekai, deals with a Kingdom that would massively summon people from other worlds, to try to get Over-Powered (High-Leveled) people who could defeat the Demon Lord. Banaza was not chosen, but in the moment that he was summoned, the Kingdom summoned the Over-Powered (High-Leveled) Hero that they were seeking. Because Banaza was unable to talk to anyone for three days, apparently the Kingdom is unable to send him back to his world.
Like pulling an Over-Powered Hero out of a hat (without rhyme or reason, without the rule of equivalent exchange) the author then makes Banaza a Level 2 Over-Powered (Strongest in that world) Mage/Adventurer. Because the author did not make Banaza smart, capable, or charismatic, he thinks that he is not powerful, not important or relevant... Rule of Equivalent Exchange states that for everything received (Level 2 Superpowers), one would have needed to have gained Experience Points, or payed the cost for leveling up, or won the lottery or had a God gift those super powers to the main character, etc. etc.
The people summoned to this world did not give their consent to "accept the challenge of traveling to another world and risking their lives to defeat the Demon Lord". This story takes parts/ideas from Rising of the Shield Hero and Death March to a Parallel World Rhapsody.
Because Banaza was not "chosen" as the "Hero to defeat the Demon Lord", this Light Novel series really has no theme. Mostly it's just completing the whims that the author has for the main character, Banaza and his "harem-retinue" group of adventurers...
I think this story could have been written better. Had more imagination, made different and original. The illustrator did not include any maps of this other world, no character summaries of abilities, jobs and skills. If the author wrote a little bit better, he could have made a "parody" of the Hero character with a main character like this one... to make it a little bit different, interesting and entertaining...

https://sunread26.wordpress.com/2022/...
Extrait :
Encore un isekaï pour Meian édition ! Mais cette fois-ci, il ne s’agit d’un changement de monde un peu particulier, puisque le protagoniste passe d’un monde différent du notre à un autre. Boulette après boulette, il finira par se retrouver coincer dans cet autre monde (pour toujours semble t-il mais sait-on jamais). Considéré comme un échec, ses invocateurs cherchent à le « supprimer », mais c’est sans compter sur un changement radical une fois au niveau 2 !
Notre protagoniste est donc un personnage très clairement sous-estimé qui se retrouvera complètement surpuissant en moins d’un tome… Malgré cela, il semble rester humble et fidèle à lui-même, il continue également d’éviter les ennuis… Mais comme toujours, ceux-ci finiront bien par le rattraper sinon ça ne serait pas drôle ! Et c’est pour cette raison que semble faire son entré l’antagoniste, qui n’est autre que le supposé « Héro » (lui aussi invoqué). On peut d’ailleurs dire de lui que c’est 100% l’opposé du protagoniste, il débarque, avec des stats au max pour un niveau 1 et est donc traité comme un génie… Sauf qu’au final, son évolution n’est pas à la hauteur… tout comme son caractère d’ailleurs…
J’adore comment, quelque soit la série, les invocateurs sont traités comme des monstres, incapables ou encore inhumains. Cette impression péjorative est présente assez régulièrement, sûrement afin de pouvoir se détacher de ce groupe assez rapidement. Après, au vue de la tournure des événements, il n’est pas impossible que ses personnages reviennent à un moment de l’intrigue…

isekai featuring yet another OP character, but with a fun twist - he fails to become the hero at level 1, but becomes the strongest immediately upon level 2 (once he’s been rejected and cast aside)
some thoughts:
- I like how banaza is mostly focused on trying to live a quiet life. currently, he’s somehow still unaware of just how large his level 2 power spike was…I hope he realizes it soon, I think it will be much more interesting.
- I really enjoyed fenrys/rys’s intro. very cool how strong and terrifying she was. it bummed me out that she immediately turns into a docile character upon her defeat…I hope she gets some of that original spice back.
- banaza is from another fantasy world, which is different than most isekai I’ve read that usually feature characters from our modern/regular earth. it gives him an interesting background, since he already has fantasy world experience and used to be a merchant. he also comes from a world with prejudice and enslavement of certain fantasy creatures, which he was vehemently against. that adds another layer and some depth to the story.
- so far, there’s definitely fan service, but it’s not gratuitous. overall I’m definitely getting more of a wholesome vibe. hoping to see banaza and rys’s relationship truly develop!

Interesting premise. An ordinary guy with Level 1 magic is a merchant. He is kind and treat Demi human fairly. He was summoned by magic to be a hero in another land. After the initial test, the king found out that he is an ordinary human with level 1 magic. Instead of sending him home, the king exile him to a land of demons. Hopping he will be killed and their embarrassment will be kept secret. This is when the hero was attacked by jelly like demons. He fought back and kill the jelly. When he tried to enter the forest, his new home, he found demon residue in the forest. The magic menu is like the game menu and suggest he use magic to clean the forest. So he did that and got level up .
That is the adventure of a person who is non violent, kind, oppose to the concept of slavery and want to treat demons fairly.
It also got the romance side story. Which might be pleasing to romance readers but not me.
Yet it is a fun read as it makes fun of the system of hero that need to fight, and demons are the automatically chosen the bad guys.
The anime is fun.

Little growth potential, boatloads of everything else
Some people love long growth stories. I prefer creativity rather than contrived resistance on the main character. This story is another OP (over powered) isekai fantasy, but the simple friendships, marriage and realistic aspirations, as well as the beautiful creativity makes this story great! I wish for many more to come, yet I will be happy with a good, not badly stretched ending too.

Super cute fun read!
As a fan of the anime I was super excited to get the manga. A few things are different, mostly how things are ordered. They like to go back and forth a lot between events chronological order and some other similar things. I found this a touch confusing, the anime just had it straight and was easier to understand. I'm going to read the next one and see if things get easier to pace.

Chillin' in Another World With Level 2 Super Cheat Powers Vol. I
Banaza is summoned to another world to be a hero, to help defeat the Demon Lord! Unfortunately, when he is tested, his statuses are low. He is told that they will return him back to his world, but before they do a hero is summoned with a high status! During the celebration, they forgot to return Banaza! Now it's too late and he is sent away! Will he survive? And what happens if he levels up?

Nice
Banaza is a merchant from another world. He is caught up in a hero summoning and loses his chance to return home. So the kingdom that summoned him tries to kill him off by sending him to a dangerous area. Banaza changes his outward appearance and name to avoid people noticing him and becomes an adventurer.
Now known as Flio, he has limitless stats and an endless amount of power. Good for him. Not only that, he picks up a wife at the same time.

This takes the concept we normally see with these kind of stories and flips it on its head, and I'm kind of intrigued. There's nothing weird here, which usually crops up with isekai, and I can see this one being a lot of fun. One I'll be keeping my eye on, because I genuinely liked a lot of the characters, and that's saying a lot for volume one of these.

Je n’attendais pas grand-chose de cette lecture. J’espérais passer un bon moment et c’est le cas. C’était loin d’être transcendant comme lecture, pourtant, j’ai trouvé ça sympathique, pas prise de tête. Tout à fait ce dont j’avais besoin.

You know what’s really sad? the fact that there’s only five stars
I love this book, the story writing and art is just extravagant. I love the way fenrys gets introduced. I love the fake names. Funny, witty, poetic, beautiful, and an all around winner, my personal rating ♾️/⭐️.

I had low expectations, but was pleasantly surprised. He really is quite chill, like the title says, haha. Kind of refreshing to see an isekai hero with such a strong anti-slavery stance.

Poor Banaza/Flio I really hate that king.
Rys is so adorable.

If you’ve watched my BookTube channel since I entered my otaku stage as a reader, you’re aware I’m unable to say no to a manga series with well-drawn, clean artwork I’m very specific about but can’t explain in detail because I don’t understand it myself. With this manga, I loved the artwork and plot and was so freaking in that I read the first two manga novels in one night and then woke up the next morning to finish reading the third installment before I even had my morning coffee!
I love the quick-in-thinking name choice for Banaza’s alias. Flio, the name of his former pet dog! That’s adorable! If I had to go by a pet name, it’d either be my psycho cat, Millicent (AKA Millie), or my loyal and little and perfect dog, Lacey. Millicent sounds a bit more regal, so I’d probably go with that, now that I’m thinking about this, ha-ha!
I appreciated Banaza’s selflessness and openness towards demi-humans, like the lizard slave or the wild and free Fenrys prior to his offer… Instead of killing Fenrys or forcing her to bend the knee before him, he says, Be my wife. I think that’s beyond romantic of high fantasy proportions, and I don’t care how crazy I sound by saying that—I am crazy! We all know this! And so crazy in love with that concept right there! I won’t kill you; marry me instead! Maybe it’s exclusive to an otaku like me, but I find that beautiful, even if it’s weird to a normal person—who’s with me?
Favorite characters? Obviously Banaza and Fenrys! Their names for each other, Flio and Rys, are so sweet to hear/read, I love how Rys always says My Husband or Dearest Husband whenever referring to Banaza, and Rys’s quick-to-build, unbreakable loyalty to him is powerful, even if only otakus understand that fictional bond. Ugh, why is it only in fiction that concept exists? I don’t care how unrealistic these fictional characters are, human or demi-human or monster; I loved the ways they interacted because even though not everyone is friendly towards all others, they still seem like they could be real, even if they’re not. I’m not quick to trust Captain of the Guard What’s-Her-Name, though. She wants to bring back glory to her lineage, and although I can understand defending the family name, her loyalties are misplaced, so I’m looking forward to finding out where she’ll go or how she’ll develop in the later manga novels of this series. In less than a moment of a heartbeat, I’d join Flio and Rys on a dangerous adventuring quest by midnight, if not sooner!
I felt excitement, overall, as I read this book, and just as quickly as I picked it up to read it, I finished it the same day, too! This was such an entertaining page-turner of a manga novel, the whole thing would be my favorite part, and I wonder now if there’s an anime adaptation in English dub for this manga? If you know, please tell me in the comments—thank you in advance!
The one scene I disliked but felt was also needed in this manga novel was the part where absolutely no one accepted Banaza as the person he was or the hero he could turn out to be, but the villagers’ rejection of him led to him meeting Rys, so it was necessary for plot development. I just don’t like mean people, so that bugged me without being so overwhelming that I left this book unfinished. If there were more books out there with high fantasy video game vibes like this one, I’d be reading those books and not letting even one go unread!
I can’t say there’s one thing in this manga novel I disliked, but if I had to choose, I’d say this book was almost too quick of a page-turner that just as I was getting used to the high fantasy/video game vibes, the book was over, and I don’t have the full series in paperback, ha-ha!
I can’t rate this book anything short of five out of five stars; it was a manga novel that sucked me in from the art, held my attention with a cool plot, and had my otaku self aching for more than just three volumes in my possession. The only thing I regret about this series is that I didn’t think to buy the whole series when I had the chance at my local Barnes and Noble, just the first three volumes. If I had more friends than books, this would still be one of the awesome novels I’d be recommending to my many friends. I’ll absolutely be reading the rest of this series, finish the anime adaptation in a twenty-four-hour time span (that is, if there even is one!), and I’ll be dying for silly merch that no one will understand but those of us who’ve already read the Chillin’ in Another World with Level 2 Super Cheat Powers series, ha-ha! I’m ready to start the next volume in this series now!
I love the quick-in-thinking name choice for Banaza’s alias. Flio, the name of his former pet dog! That’s adorable! If I had to go by a pet name, it’d either be my psycho cat, Millicent (AKA Millie), or my loyal and little and perfect dog, Lacey. Millicent sounds a bit more regal, so I’d probably go with that, now that I’m thinking about this, ha-ha!
I appreciated Banaza’s selflessness and openness towards demi-humans, like the lizard slave or the wild and free Fenrys prior to his offer… Instead of killing Fenrys or forcing her to bend the knee before him, he says, Be my wife. I think that’s beyond romantic of high fantasy proportions, and I don’t care how crazy I sound by saying that—I am crazy! We all know this! And so crazy in love with that concept right there! I won’t kill you; marry me instead! Maybe it’s exclusive to an otaku like me, but I find that beautiful, even if it’s weird to a normal person—who’s with me?
Favorite characters? Obviously Banaza and Fenrys! Their names for each other, Flio and Rys, are so sweet to hear/read, I love how Rys always says My Husband or Dearest Husband whenever referring to Banaza, and Rys’s quick-to-build, unbreakable loyalty to him is powerful, even if only otakus understand that fictional bond.
