I Am An Imitator, Don't Show Me Your Skills

Description

What would you do if you got summoned to another world without your consent?

How about... Getting summoned by a dark cult and at the same time, losing something within you that will make you question if you are still yourself?

Casimir Kismet is just your regular weeb who has a hobby of cosplaying, has a loving adorable little sister, supportive parents, and friends with a common hobby as him.

An ordinary but content life if he must say.

But, not anymore.

Everything changed when he got involved in a disastrous dilemma of getting summoned to another world by a federation of dark cultists and turning him into something he never had imagined he would become. At the same time, he obtained a skill that gave him the ability to copy skills by just seeing them cast.

Changing his life forever.

Every coin has two sides, there is no such thing as pure evil or absolute righteousness. And If one is evil or righteous, it cannot be easily recognized.

But, the real question is, which side would you let come out the most?

His CONQUEST is about to begin.

But before that, let me tell you these fair warnings.

This is not a story of a hero. You have been warned.

Not everything is actually what they seem. Do not be fooled.

And most of all...

Don't show him your skills.

Overall: Honestly I am biased towards isekai/demon lord stories, I simply adore the whole idea however this fiction needs some work, its not bad really but it certainly can be better. No one is perfect, I love this fic and the MC is a dork
Story: the story is kind of wonky in a cohesion sense. It seems very rushed sometimes yet sluggish in others
Style: 10/10 would fly on the golden throne again. I love how chuuni everyone in Agrona can be sometimes
Grammar: Understandable but sometimes I lose myself on the grammar mistakes. The why's instead of what's and so on. honestly I think the author's first language isn't english it would certainly explain the errors and how cohesive they are, looking from my own foreigner eyes
Characters: Love the character concepts to death but sometimes they seem plain and 2D. Sometimes everyone is stupid and can't see the obvious and other times they are all glass-adjusting geniuses. I Don't get the "romance" threads, people can like multiple people but they seem to like person A now then the MC on the next chapter and then the Person A again (I'm looking at you gatling gun waifu). Absolutely hate the elves oh my god, they are so arrogant and stupid that they actually seem the most realistic but in the worst way possible.
I'm loving this story just binged in a week or so and would really like to see it get even better

I kinda enjoy this story. Easy read and straight on point.
I like that the mc may think of doing something and not have readers wait twenty or more chapter to begin. We're starting next chapter.
Casimir want something done? Next chapter he's doing it. No unnecessary subplots.
Going past the first ten or so chapter is all I needed to keep reading.
I'm giving this review because the other reviews may turn off somes and I think more people should give a try.

As much as it rambles, there seems to be more thought put into the summary blurb than into the fiction itself.
If you were to tell me that this story was a placeholder for the author to outline their story until the wrote it, I would believe you.
This story functions as an a-z checklist. There's clearly a story in there somewhere, but it needs fleshed out instead of jumping beat to beat.

★★★ 2.5
I only got about 4 chapters in before I called it. The concept was cool, but the pacing is off, there's too many grammar issues to just call out individually, and the fight scenes are pretty much just MC kills everyone, even though he shouldn't know what he's doing. I do think the story could be turned around to become something great if the author took time to flesh out the content though.

Overall: Honestly, not much to say about this one. Usually I'd prefer to read further before reviewing, but I have yet to find a redeeming quality and lost interest about 10 chapters ago.
Everything happening so far has been very much predictable, and it feels like I've already read the same script about 3 times before. Lacklustre grammar and style stop the reading in itself from being enjoyable, and the characters (or lack thereof) really aren't helping.
Skill imitation could be a neat concept, but this story just treats it as 'copy every skill you see, except it's far stronger when you use it for no explained reason', turning it into an instant win button as there are no stats and skills are more concepts than individual spells, e.g., you just get [Fire Magic] instead of [Firebolt IV] and [Fireball III]
Grammar: Readable. A Couple of errors here and there, mostly punctuation and missing/wrong articles or prepositions. It definitely needs work, but sentences are simply enough to get their point across nonetheless.
Style: Clumsy. The style very much reads like something you'd expect from a slightly edited machine translation. I'm not saying it is one, just that phrasing and diction make it appear that way. This, in combination with how non-descriptive it is and a lot of passive voice, make it very unengaging as a whole.
Characters: Calling them flat would be an understatement. The MC is barely a person, and everybody else just exists for him to interact with. Dialogue has yet to cross the depth threshold of “do you like your food?”.
Story: Colossal pacing issues. Most of the story so far has been structured as: time since last action scene, describe current location, action scene, time skip to next action scene, repeat. You could easily triple the word count, and it would still feel rushed.
There is no introspection whatsoever, as the MC seems completely indifferent to everything happening to him.
World building is almost non-existent and can be summed up in a singl
