Description
It's a weird job, has pretty much no pay, and thebenefitsare just a way to make him work forever. But to tell the truth, Jace couldn't have a better one. Getting approached by a god was weird, and awkward, (he may have accidentally called her a fraud), but he only thought for a moment before accepting her offer. "Guide those I send to this world from another." He just thought, "Woah, that's a job?!" He didn't care why he was a good fit, why they were being incarnated, and now, he's having the ride of his life (and it's one hell of a roller coaster)!

- Titania136Royal Road★★★★★ 5.0It's a twist of the standard isekai, what if instead of being the guy who gets thrown into an isekai. You were the one who had to deal with these newcomers constantly thrown at you, by your boss the goddess. That's Jace's deal, the long living caretaker of hapless soon to be heroes. He's dealt with around 40 of them once the story starts and he shows the signs of that, his life interspersed with flashbacks to earlier times reminding you of the fact that he's been around for centuries.
For the setting it seems to be standard goddess summoning fare, but given Jace's close and casual relationship with his boss we will most likely see more about the knowledge behind the curtains on the gods. And the system is a bit different no blue boxes, more you grow mana pockets inside you that can hold skills. And then can learn to refine how you release the pockets. The system is unique and very interesting.
But for the requirments
Style:Gets a full 5 due to the interesting system that I've never seen, and the very interesting twist on the standard isekai genre.
Story:Gets a 4.5 because what I've seen of the plot is good so far. But I don't know where it's headed.
Grammar:It's not perfect but the prose is done well they just need a once over to check for errors.
Characters:A 5 because the characters are interesting and the bit of dynamic that we got between Alkir and the MC is fun which bodes well for future ones. For the charcters the MC is especially good, he's intriguing and mysterious. The best way to put is it feels like if the MC walked into a tavern others would whisper about his deeds, which is a very hard effect without actually doing it and making it seem forced. He has a lot of history you don't know yet, but personally I'd love to read and figure out.
Alright last call. If you like Tree of Aeons, or any other story where the protaganist had to dance around the chosen one you will probably enjoy this.(Especially Tree of Aeons). Very good my biggest complaint is just tha
