The relationship(s) was/were a nice break however from his grinding and other daily activities. That being said I will now just say I dont care for how his relationship with his loves interestes were established and thought it unrealistic. ~ Okay, I actually just deleted a pretty long rant that made my biggest con sound worse than what it was. Him becoming interested in multiple woman and them liking him in turn right off the bat. What you can expect is allot of dungeon diving, and him trying to exploit monser patterns based on his RPG experience. Because of this skill he clearly has an advantage over the other denizens of this world, which is a good thing since he starts off with a 1 in all of his stats.

He gets a skill called growth to start out with which is a pretty OP trait to have and is perfect for leveling. This story is about a guy named Alex who is whisked away from his previous life and transported to a new world - because he is more 'suited' to this new world? Okay not the most contrived plot point ive seen but the story is still good. Overall it was an easy read and enjoyable. Using his method, he was able to clear out a lot more creatures than anyone else even though he was alone and underpowered (at first). Nobody else tried to study their behavior and figure out an easy way to beat them, they just ran right in and attacked. His other stats were still a 1 which is worse than most children! The one thing the MC was really good at was finding the game like mechanics of the monsters in the dungeon in order to beat them. After he raised his defence stat he decided to raise his strength more. All the MC talked about was grinding in the dungeon and increasing his stats but he only looked at his stat sheet maybe 4 times in the whole book. He then switched his perk to defence and it shot up to 98 after a couple of weeks. He kept grinding until his strength was 68. Normally raising the stat 1 point would take weeks.

When he went to the dungeon he rose from a 1 to a 7 in a single day. When he started on this world he was a 1 in every category. Which allowed his to grow the stat he designated very fast. The skill that the MC got when coming to this world was called accelerated growth. The skill list and stat list was laughably simple. There was a lot of talk about women 'pushing their breasts into his arm' and non stop sexual innuendo, but not much action on that front. I felt like this was a pg-13 harem story.

It was more of a light novel than a harem fantasy. I liked the MC and the story was very easy to read but it wasn't exactly what I was expecting. The new world has dungeons and everything one would expect. Guy dies and is offered a chance to go a new world with magic and mystical creatures. I found out about this book from the facebook group Harem Gamelit and it seemed interesting.
