Description

What is the meaning of life? Is life fun? Is it worth living? These questions are all highly dependent on a person's state of mind, experiences, and environment. However, even individuals who respond negatively to said questions have trouble escaping the life that doesn't seem worth living to them. Most are kept alive by irrational emotions. Fear of the unknown, of pain, or causing pain keeps them struggling day after day, unable to find permanent solutions nor the courage to escape the clutches of life. This story is about one such individual struggling in a new world with infinite possibilities. Will he be drowned by life once more or rise and find meaning in a new, unforgiving world?

On Hiatus. I'm sorry.

★★★★ 3.5
Because I have to give a rating, I'm going to give it a 3.5, otherwise I'd reserve my judgement, but I hope that adding a review gets more traffic to the author than the 3.5 takes away.
This book starts off slow, I would recommend you skip/skim the prologue and chapters 1 and 2. As of chapter 3 the book begins to start. I would say that after book 3 it becomes a 3 or 4 out of 5, depending on how you feel about grammar and writing style.
The premise
is a recent NEET that's good at math gets drunk, intervenes in a fight and gets isekai-d by broken bottle-kun. He wakes up as a child beggar with red eyes, starves a bit, then gets kidnapped by a cult of mages to be experimented on. The experiment is to pump him full of mana to make a super-mage. If you read that, you can skip to chapter 3 and have a story that will keep you interested until chapter 5 (that's all that's up right now).
The grammar and story style need to be worked on and the way the author has their dialogue structured right now can be distracting, but I'd say that if you like giving amateur authors a chance at their first try, then you may find something to enjoy in it.
