Description

Meet Orihara Satoru, a 33 y.o. Game Designer who was about to confess his feelings to an overly cute co-worker. Yes, he ‘was’, because his life unexpectedly came to an end.He woke up in a new world.In the world, where 99.9% of the population are reincarnated people like he is, and technology co-exists with magic.In the world, where every few days Beasts are summoned by a Wave to bring chaos and disaster."How will I fare in a world, where everyone is an Isekai protagonist? Also, my build is a random mess and why am I a girl now? Oh, well. Creative Thinking is Everything I Have."

I'm slowly adding illustrations. You can find them in chapters 1, 4, 9, 11, 13, 17, 22, 24, 26, 31, 36, 38, 44 right now.

Who might enjoy this story:- readers who lovereferencesto popculture/games/anime (also after the first chapter they are not that abundant)- fans of anisekai/transported to another world genre- those whodislike OPprotagonists and prefer MC to grow stronger bit by bit and rely heavily on his friends.- people who enjoy black-and-white-and-grey stories, where life is not alwaysbad, but not alwaysgood, too.

A very solid story, well written with interesting characters. The moral compass of the world is kind of gray which makes the reader question themselves, what is good and what is hypocrisy. The world building is also top notch. Definitely an adult read despite all the web references.

Ok, the first note, I hate gender benders I find them infuriating, but this book does it well.
I actually really like this story I read it every time I got a chance too. I actually read everything in only a day or two. I really like the characters and the world. The characters (well most) don't seem 2d and actually had some back story and reasons to do what they do. They feel like actual people rather than robots saying a phrase. The humor of the characters are amazing and I found myself laughing so many times.
The world seems very real and living. It's like the town you live in. You don't see what's happening to everything but you know there are things going on and this is how this book feels.
I only have a few problems with this book though. I feel like there's not enough work with the setting. It doesn't get very descriptive so it's hard to make an image in my head. Other than that I don't really have a problem with this book and it's an overall great read.

I can definitely recommend this story. The world our MC has been tossed into is a joy to read about. No noticeable spelling or grammatical errors, and for the most part the charaters are very well written. To the author, Thank you for Writing!

Yeah,
It´s pretty good as of chapter 23. I actually got really addicted and felt super bad after catching up. You know that feeling that grabs you when you read a really good book for the first time? Like your most favourite books. I got that here and will stick around for more. Though waiting is suffering :(
Characters appear realistic for me and the world feels alive and well thought out.
I highly recommend this read.

First of all, kudos for all the references and easter eggs. But, at the same time, this makes it clear that this story isn't for everybody.
Strengths of the story:
1) Takes overused tropes but doesn't make it feel like the usual trash.
2) The MC isn't OP.
3) Good humor.
4) Good charactrs.
Weakness of the story:
1) The world building falls off.
2) Sometimes the humor gets past me (might not be the case for others).
3) The writing style sometimes feels off.
4) Signs of the MC(can't define its gender) leading towards smut flag. It honestly scares me.
Overall, a good read if you enjoy pop culture references and a bit of satire towards the mainstream story tropes.

So I'd like to start off with I'm not really that into reading because I rarely find something that interests me, but this story grabbed me from the start and I read new chapters the moment I can!
Like the synopsis said this is filled with references and the first chapter especially to show what the reader will be getting into. As I assumed they die down drastically after that chapter but are still present in a decent amount though I realise their abundance at first might turn off some people. I think the dynamic of the MC and one of her friends sporadically saying references helps with the mood of the story and adds to the enjoyment of it.
After the mandatory paragraph about the references (as am sure everybody was excited about them the most), I'd like to comment on why the mc certainly needs to get her mood up as she (unlike most isekais) is the opposite of overpowered and in fact, is one of the weaker characters and the story progresses through her struggles to live in this new world, as she is constantly thrown in emotional turmoil due to poor word choices she makes or uncontrollable to her situations. Some people have commented that it feels grimdark, but in my opinion, it lacks grimdark elements and is better described as realistic.
While it is quite interesting to read her struggles it slightly irks me as to how unlucky she is and how often others overreact and mistreat her for her actions. The reasons for doing so makes perfect sense though, so the story still seems plausible and doesn't require the suspension of disbelief. The characters themselves are multi-layered as every time the mc messes up with someone, it's always hinted as to some hidden layers of their personalities or backstories which makes them feel very real.
There have also been a few moments where the mc seemed to get too friendly to others too suddenly, calling each other family, but as most complaints the author argumented himself as to why that is and if he adds a bit more to how those c

I really liked reading your story. I wish I was half the author you are. I know reviews are an authors incentive and I was a little late reading your book. I can't think of much you could have fixed there were a few type O's and I don't know much about grammer to say anything of criticism. your story flowwed well and was easy to follow. I would look forward to you finishing it.

I'm stating plainly that I have not finished this story up until the hiatus, and I do not intend to read past the end of 'book one'.
Grammar
The grammar's pretty good for an English as a Second Language speaker, nothing is lost in translation and the errors can be smoothed completely by context. 'Advice her' and 'suggested them' and such errors are coommon enough flaws and I suspect the author had no one to explain how to express the concepts expressed here. When asking for advice, the noun 'advice' becomes the verb 'advise' wherein the voiceless hiss of an 's' becomes a resonant 'z' sound (We English speakers apologize for our language. Yes, it's spelled with a 'c', sounds like an 's' changes to an 's', and sounds like a 'z'). Further, though 'advice' and 'suggestions' are similar, they are not quite interchangable and at one point you mix them up.
Style
Things tend to meander and I think you lost your focus at some point. I might be wrong, but this doesn't read like you've planned the story very well. This leads to a storytelling style wherein instead of focusing on the premise (genderbent guy goes to a world with tons of other reincarnates and has to survive basically on their creativity and wits) you concentrate almost entirely on the angst of: the main character, side characters, and main character interacting with side characters. You seem to focus more on this than the actual problem solving, creativity, the world, you have several tone shifts. If you were intending to write something angsty from the start, I suppose add another star to style.
Story
Book one is about angsting about relationships, personal failings, and cardboard characters, and also sometimes about the end of the world and very rarely about creatively solving problems. You start off very strong but after boarding the train, it starts going downhill quick. The nobles are pointlessly antagonistic when they're hilariously outnumbered. If even 1% of the other 99.99% of the population hates the at

Oy veh, fun idea but? Boy does it spoil itself. If you can believe a 30 plus year old development team lead acting like a whiny 6 yr , an unknown age neuro surgeon being a completely useless, and in general a random group of adults not having the maturity you'd expect from small children, this may well be the novel for you.
Personally I'd recommend Heinlein's Job a comedy of justice, if you want an iseksi character that gets crap tossed at them.
