I am back to redo my review. The story shows great potential in the beginning, but once it begins to go into more details, the concept seemingly derails. The MC in the beginning is adjusting to life in this new world, he's seemingly been there for a month, which explains how he's situated.
(I'm going to try to avoid nitpicking)
Now, it seems he has been dealing with the array that sends things like books and monsters to him for a short time. And (Spoiler) when he eats the Chaos Wolf eggs, he gets physically strong enough from eating them that the monsters that come out of the array are mincemeat to him. It is explained later on that no one attempts to eat them because eating them can make them crazy.
This alludes to either the fact that he IS the Evil God. But it is actually another thing I'll explain in a second.
Things aren't that bad here. Weak MC needed power up, magic food is an easy shortcut. Not a horrible jump.
Now, the MC, also attempts to read the forbidden spell books. This makes sense, curiosity likely got the better of him. But even then, he should be perhaps a tad suspicious. But it's fine.
But then, it turns out, that by simply forcing himself to read it more and more, his 'mental power' can be raised by a lot. This is the other, more likely reason he didn't go crazy.
However, this seems to be a flaw in the power system. If one could simply gain so much 'mental power' by this method, why weren't they doing what he did? Also, simply eating the eggs seemed to have given him 'Gold Rank Strength.' This is lazy writing that may bother some readers.
And then, when he becomes the adventurer, of course, a situation for the MC to display his newfound power (and slight ruthlessness?) against bandit type of enemies in an escort quest.
However, this isn't that bad of situation in my opinion, this NEXT part is why I dropped it.
We get little bits and pieces that state that James has been in the world for 2 months, a few years, 4 months, etc. The timing isn't consistent, and his background still isn't explored after 25 or so chapters. certain parts are rushed, and certain parts are spread out too much.
To summarize:
Has a good start, but rather than ride on the concept that caught the reader's attention, the story steps on that in order to simply give a cheap explanation for an isekai, which is used to simply give a cheaper explanation to avoid giving the MC background.
The feel I got from the story, is that the author wrote up certain scenarios, and then tried to string them together.
