[Samuel Faraday · Rating 3 out of 5]

This is a good book, for the fantasy, light novel genre. The main characters are pleasant to be around and read about. And the plot is simple, but whimsically fun. It’s an absurdist sort of fantasy where the concept of “the rule of fun” seems to take the lead.

It’s not a masterpiece by any stretch of the word. However, if what you’re looking for is a quick and fun story, then I give it a 5/5. If you’re not looking for that, then it is merely average, and you should look elsewhere.

I do not think that an author can pick 4-5 worst excuses (really lame ones), than the ones chosen by the future members of the "ultimate adventurer party". There are probably 100 or more logical and rational reasons why a group of people would form a party, but the author created nonsensical sob-stories, fake-drama filled crap so bad it still stinks that whole alternate reality world.
If this author would have developed his main characters "better", he could have incorporated real "adventurer" stories to their "backstories" so that when finally sitting down at an adventurer bar, these four adventurers would find it positive to create an adventurer party together.
Four people is less than ideal, six to eight in an adventurer party is best. More than nonsensical sob-stories, the author should have created a game-like dungeon delving system and introduced it in this Book 1. Most adventurer parties are temporal, nothing lasts forever...I do not see this Light novel series going past 3-4 books...with the author talking about idols, corruption and drinking all of the Kool-aid that nobody but him is drinking...

Honestly, I really enjoyed this light novel!

As someone who constantly feels out of place, I resonated with all the four main characters in many different aspects. For a fantasy setting, (and me being a fan of fantasy video games) it weaves a colorful world with an unlikely and sometimes unlikeable cast. I could not put this book down after starting it! I did watch the first episode of the anime a month before reading this as well, so if you want an idea of what you’re in for, watching the first two episodes will give you a good idea!

A super fun read about a group of people who have fallen on some hard times, but come together through their mutual distrust of others and the need to earn some money to support each of their hobbies.
I really enjoyed each characters' unique personality, and each of them really shined on the page, making for a fun read. Each of their situations was increasingly ridiculous, but the silliness was, I feel, part of the charm of the story.
I think this is a great read for Dungeons and Dragons fans.
The artwork in this book was stunning, and I loved being able to see the characters in action.

I feel like there's been a trend in Japan about overworked office workers getting sent off to live happy and fulfilling lives in other worlds; this isn't one of them, but it's very similar in that it's about a party of downtrodden adventurers who just want to make enough to afford living expenses and hobbies. Which is extremely relatable! I really appreciate how they grow as friends, too, while each accepting each other's interests and letting them be themselves. Genuinely interested in how they'll continue their adventure!

The adventure part is fun, but most of the book is not. The ridiculous idol thing is nonsensical. Let's be real, idols or anyone in the entertainment industry are there to make money, it is a JOB. So I do not get how just going to a concert will change your whole personality; it is simply an incredibly immature idea. The MC is constantly crying about his past.....move on dude, it is ok to be sad for a bit, but move on! If you have the time, it is not an awful story, but it felt too teen for me. On to my next adventure, Happy Readings!!!

So much of the fantasy light novel genre is isekai that this really stands out for not being isekai.

I also enjoyed the distinctive personalities of each character. The world building isn’t as rich as some, but there’s enough that you get a general idea of the world and how magic works as well.

All in all this was a fun read and I look forward to continuing the series.

[Fred Yoshimura · Rating 4 out of 5]

Pretty conventional, but where will it go?

As far as tropes go this hits the usual adventuring in dungeons and labyrinths kinda thing. It's readable, and held my interest enough to get through it, but I started to wonder if the next book will be better or more of the same?

[J · Rating 2 out of 5]

As much as I disliked the immersion killing idol groups and hostess clubs in a seemingly medieval fantasy story, I still found enough entertaining to consider picking up the next book.

[Hilary Fudge · Rating 4 out of 5]

Not a bad start - the characters are pretty fun and the story is interesting

[huntërre thomässön · Rating 4 out of 5]

8.5/10

Refreshing read. Somewhere between wholesome and satisfying. The introduction method for each character wasn't my favorite thing, but it wasn't bad either. Conflicts resolve satisfyingly, the labyrinth's are realistic and not mushbrained in design. Character's show common sense and survival skills.

Great casual fantasy read, with a twist of betrayal recovery.

Good start for a series.

[Kat · Rating 3 out of 5]

I'm more interested in an anime of this rather than continuing the books.
... is there an anime for this?

[Sandra (I don't read, I devour.) · Rating 4 out of 5]

Saw the anime, now checking out the light novel.

One more volume I think and I'll be in original content.
