Review detail

THE GOOD - Daily updates (not too far of course, as long as the story appears to be "recently updated" it's okay even if it's been 2 or 3 days at max since the last update) - Simple and familiar premise - Later chapters (after chapter 4 I believe) there is some build up for future chapters. There is a clear direction. THE FLAWED (What needs to be revised/looked back at) - Writing doesn't contain any spelling errors but the information is vaguely described. Basically it just tells things and that's it. The world, in chapter 1 it's described as an "unknown" world but how unknown is it? What makes this world so different from other isekai novels? - Jin isn't a good protagonist in the way he is portrayed. He's ignorant of his position in this new world. No worries, no fear or concern whatsoever. He just takes it just like that. At first when I saw this I WANTED to believe this is a parody or a satire, but as soon as I read the later chapters up to the latest, I realize this is meant to be serious with a dash of comedy in between. - Why does Jin's transportation to this other world (if it has a name yet) happen almost immediately without any build up or hints? Just a blind white light consuming him? I appreciate it's NOT another death by truck story but still, we barely know anything about Jin other than he's "another average high schooler." - The premise, although familiar and easy to remember, is questionable. Yes Jin does get transported to a different world, but what does he plan to do? Go back home? Defeat someone in order to go back? Make his living there? I'm having a hard time seeing Jin as a person and a character. - Speaking of Jin, there's nothing striking about him so far. I'm sorry but in the scene where he tries to save a girl from a couple of strangers he's acts very edgy, with the whole "remember my name" style quote, we barely even know Jin. - Other characters aren't fleshed out. By that I mean there isn't much to see from them despite having significant names (Also, Shin and Jin? It's funny as a rhyme for their names but I want to see more from Shin) - I am having the hardest time trying to understand in what particular way this novel is inspired (or heavily inspired) by Re;Zero. If it's just because a "normal protagonist gets transported to another world." then I'm sorry, I don't think that's a valid excuse. Hundreds if not thousands of isekai themed Webnovels on this site have that similar premise/concept too, but many of them give more information in order to be different from others. I'm okay with this novel being an isekai, it's the execution I'm more concerned about. Despite my extensive commentary on the flaws, author, don't be discouraged by this. Take a look back at your novel and maybe try to flesh out the world and the characters, Jin in particular. Even if you want to flesh them out in later chapters, at least try to give enough information for us, the readers, to paint a clear picture. I know you can do much better than this author, and I hope to look at your novel again once it's all fixed up and even better than it's current state. Good luck.

I knew it! I knew I was doing something wrong with the pacing. Thank you for pointing those out.
