Review Detail of Vorthod in Isekai with an Ero-RPG System (Reboot)
Review detail
They aren't even trying to hide it, this is blatantly sending an OC into Kamidori: Alchemy Meister and yet it's completely ignoring the game it's trying to use as a base. It spends half of a chapter explaining that the stats the game uses have been replaced instead of just going in with a made up game. A few chapters later, the cultures he finds are completely unrepresentative of the game as well, so we're basically just using the protagonist of one game plus some real-world knowledge to create our own protagonist...which makes me wonder even more why we had to base the protagonist off of an existing character when that character's relationships, ideals, social status, etc are not going to be able to be used in the story. The character himself is also pretty inconsistent, berating himself for accidentally shouting out how wealthy he is before immediately pulling out a super expensive-looking mythril hammer that he barely knows how to use. The technical quality of the writing itself is passable. Typos show up somewhat often, but I can at least tell what's going on despite the confusing premise. I just wish we weren't subjected to "Oh right, I've got the same X as Kamidori" followed by actions that could easily be accomplished by standard isekai "Item box" or "crafting" skills

1-It is clearly stated that the protagonist isn't in Kamidori world. Just acquired elements from the game, some which were altered to fit the new world (the Gamer cheat and currency). 2-the mythril hammer is a versatile weapon, usefull against physical and elementals opponents. Since he doesn't know what to expect, he had to be prepared. Being ambushed when unarmed would be terrible.
1-If they aren't going to be in the Kamidori world and everything needs to be altered anyway, why not just use a generic game so that people aren't trying to figure out which systems got carried over from Kamidori and which ones didn't? The author spent extra effort to make things more confusing. If all the protagonist needed was money and skills, just say he was making an NG+ of literally any game with a crafting system. 2-He stated earlier in that exact same chapter that he shouldn't advertise his wealth and mithril is stereotypically the first metal that most games consider to have a sort of super-tier status. With his stats, he should be able to brute force his way through most encounters with an iron hammer or lower while keeping his more impressive weapons around for a situation where something more threatening shows up. Instead, his first instinct is to completely contradict himself.

Too bad if you don’t like the system. Just because it has elements from Kamidori doesn’t mean the system has to be identical to the game interface. Damned if you do, damned if you don’t. He is in a forest. Opponents are more likely to be beasts rather than humans or anything like that. What kind of beasts? Normal? Elemental? Spirit/ghost? How strong? He can’t be sure. Better have a versatile weapon in hand. His only offensive skill is hammer mastery. Being unarmed is more stupid than holding his quality weapon.
