  At first glance this story offers a fun slice of life about a boy and his favorite manga. However, you soon grow to learn that there is so much more to it. The author does a great job at giving us a good view of the mental state of the protagonist and how it is affected by his double life. She is great at going in depth when presenting the two different worlds that compose this story and consolidating everything into a fun experience.
  The chapters are short, light and easy to get through. On top of that, they do a good job at keeping you entertained and connect easily with the characters.
  If you are interested in following the struggles of Tahro as he tries to keep his life together while trying to save another world at the same time, then I urge you to give this story a shot! You won't regret it!

  I really like the heart that went into this story, though in its opening series of chapters I’m still a little bit confused as to where the story is supposed to be headed.
  The story is about a young half-Japanese (?) child who is drawn to a new manga series and soon finds himself inside that story when he falls asleep. Only, he’s changing the events of the manga by going there!
  I really like metafiction-type stories like this, especially when you add the time-desync twist in there, where the protagonist is going into events before the manga takes place. And it’s done pretty well, except that the fantasy world of the manga starts to take a LOT more precedence than the real world after a while. I liked the drama with a teenager obsessed with manga trying to deal with living a normal life as a talented student amidst all that, but at least as far as I read it wasn’t as big a deal anymore. I really liked the double life stuff and really wanted to see more!
  The writing is fine, though the prose isn’t too exciting and reads a lot like a light novel. A more exciting writing style would go a long way in making this a really good story, but for now it’s passable enough.
  One thing that made me curious was the decision to make the story centered so much around Japan. The story stars someone who has an American parent and appears to be at least half-white, but as far as I can recall it never comes up in the story whatsoever, even though Tahro is apparently a really good student who is pushed to be the best in every subject in school. I have a really big interest in the subject of ethnic diversity in Japan so it piqued my interest, so I really hope the story does a lot with that in later chapters.
  There wasn’t anything in this story that jolted out to me as egregiously bad, though it isn’t something I’d say is my favorite thing ever. But if you like isekai stories that are relatively safe for all ages, then this is definitely a book for you.

  Here we have an isekai, I think, probably, almost certainly.
  This review is valid as of chapter 5.2, or 13 if you just count chunks.
  Why play a game when you can read yourself into another world, or at least read yourself into dreaming you're in another world?
  This is the main premise for this story, but I have to admit it's very unclear wether the protagonist actually enters another world or if he merely dreams he's in one. Apart from this, perhaps very important, detail you have a rather standard isekai. Our protagonist knows the inner workings of a world he reads about in a manga, and one way or another he acts in it.
  We're still in the beginning of the story, and for that reason the world travelled to isn't all that fleshed out. I get the impression of an anachronistic faux medieval fantasy setting, which just means it's the archetypical one encountered in anime or manga of this type.
  While the adventurers guild is renamed, it's still there for all practical purposes. You even get to pick a class, which firmly places this story in the category of RPG-based fantasy. I wouldn't say litrpg, or even system fantasy, because as of yet there aren't really any such elements introduced.
  The story grounds itself around one main character, and to further entrench this feeling it's written in the first person point of view in the past tense. Now you'll have to be a little careful when you read the extreme beginning. It's easy to mistake what happens for a horrible mix of first person and third person. but it's just our protagonist reading manga and getting extremely immersed in it.
  There's an early timeskip that's a little sloppily handled, and the transition between just reading manga and actually entering fantasyland leaves a lot to wish for. I still don't understand exactly when it happens, but then the reminiscing protagonist explicitly states that it all happened bit by bit, so maybe it's supposed to be exactly this unlear. Be that as it may -- as a reader I'm still ho
