This novel is one I've enjoyed so I thought it deserved a review.

Story - 8/10. The overarching story revolves around the dungeon. The dungeon core known as No. 695 makes a last ditch effort and spins the Gacha (basically summon lotto) and summons the human Kehma to become the dungeon master and protect the dungeon core.

Eventually he drives away the enemies and works to attract adventurers in order to gain Dungeon Points (DP).

For the first arc, which is 13 chapters long, IT IS TERRIBLE. Yeah, gonna warn you now, its utter shite. I even dropped it around chapter 6 before but decided to ... press on at a later date and I'm glad I did.

While the first 13 chapters are boring because it takes a while for anything to happen since he simply maintains a status-quo of not being killed and sleeping the next arc and those onwards are much better and that is the majority of the score. Going to the nearest town, being an adventurer and having some pretty funny misunderstandings.

In short, power through the first arc and ye shall be rewarded.

Art - 8/10. As with all my reviews, the art doesn't count towards it but the art that is sometimes shown in chapters is pretty well drawn so I feel it a disservice not to mention it.

Character - 7/10. I'll mention the three main cast which can be seen from the first arc onwards.

Kehma - A young man called from Japan to serve as the dungeon master of the "simple cave" (later known as the "cave of desires"). All this guy cares about is sleeping. However, he does have good points. For the dungeon it was him who created the plans to use and then later on discard the bandits and it is also him who efficiently gathers DP and makes the dungeon strong.

Dungeon Core No. 695 (Called Rokuko by Kehma) - Rokuko is a Human-type dungeon core. There are two types of dungeon cores, a sentient type who can work together with the dungeon master to improve the dungeon and the dungeon core most people are familiar with which is an orb also known as the heart of the dungeon.

Rokuko is a blonde loli type girl. At first she tries to make herself the master but due to a problem Kehma was recognised as the master instead. Kehma often teases Rokuko saying she has a "goblin fetish" due to her always wanting to summon goblins to act as the attack force of the dungeon. Rokuko always listens to the advice of a senior dungeon core who is similarly a human-type.

Meat - (Yes this is her name, no I'm not joking.) Meat is a black haired dog-eared loli. She was bought as a slave by the bandits and due to various circumstances Kehma managed to save her. Her physical ability is strong and her loyalty to Kehma is the same.

She too becomes an adventurer alongside Kehma and they both quickly rise up the ranks. Kehma however, only really sees her as a hug pillow.

Enjoyment - 9/10. The novel is fun, the dungeon aspects are truly what I read it for, going to war with other dungeons or repelling invaders inside his own dungeon either way its fun to see how Kehma reacts to the situations.

Overall - 8/10. As long as you can press through the first arc the rest is infinitely better. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a novel which deals with dungeon masters however there are at times some politics to deal with so its not all dungeon battles all the time. Regardless, the battles they do have are interesting and fun.

Just a heads up. It might say that I have only read 8 chapters at the moment, but I am using the same numbering method as the site I use to read it. Currently I am on Volume 5, Chapter 8. Which is the latest.


Story - 9/10. I really like this story. Because currently there is no synopsis I'll give a small run down of the story based off the first volume.

"In a world where Demon Lords operate dungeons to feed on human emotions meet Procell. A new-born Demon Lord under the parental guidance of Marchosias known as one of the strongest Demon Lords of ... her time.

Procell must now learn all there is to know about being a Demon Lord from his parent to prepare him for when he goes independent and creates his own dungeon. Along with his monsters created to guard him, watch Procell's story unfold as he takes on the world"

And pretty much I'd say that's the story without spoilers, using just volume one info. I'll also leave it at that for now.

Art - 8/10. JUST A BONUS, DOES NOT EFFECT THE SCORE OVERALL.

There's some art in random chapters, the art is really detailed, great artist.

Character - 7/10. I will speak only of Procell and Marchosias

Procell. A smart and cunning Demon Lord. All Demon Lords have some kind of "attribute" or "power" and Procell is the [Creation] Demon Lord and thus uses his power to make things as long as he has memory of it.

Procell uses his ability to strengthen his monsters by giving even the weak skeleton monsters guns he can use them to wipe out his opponents. If you've ever watched or read something about an advanced civilisation going up against some kind of "dark ages" type enemy then you'll know just how much of a ROFL-stomp he does.

Procell is also known as "Lolicell" by Marchosias due to his medals creating little girl type monsters.

Marchosias. The [Beast] Demon Lord who is known as one of the three strongest in her generation. Almost 300 years old she has lived through countless battles possessing strength, experience and intelligence. She acts like Procell's mother or older sister and truly cares for his wellbeing.

Enjoyment - 10/10. The calculating nature, the absolute annihilation of the opponent and the light-hearted scenes thrown in make me absolutely enjoy this novel.

Overall - 9/10. While I enjoy it and think the story is great so far. At the moment the story seems to just be picking up, while he has done some great things overall I cannot say it is enough for a 10 due to the overarching story having just started.

I also wish for more interaction between him and other Demon Lords, so far he pretty much avoids them.

And we're done. That's all for this review, if anyone thinks my synopsis is valid, feel free to copy paste it into the synopsis, I'll just leave it here because someone may do a better job or there may be an official one.

Lets jump into this review.

Story - 10/10. Gaya Kazuhisa and his school have been transported into another world. Now they are under attack by Orcs. The world allows them to use magic as long as they level up and use skill points to buy the skill.

Kazuhisa survives by relying on wit and cunning and by doing this it has enabled him to save other people.

Pretty much this is a similar type to apocalypse anime/mangas. They are under attack by something supernatural (like Zombies, Ghosts, Orcs etc) and must survive.

Do they add more people to their ranks in order to live? What if these people ... cause a divide? How should we live? These are the types of things the characters in this novel must think about.

In short, I really like the story, immensely so. The story details their thoughts before each and every battle. Thoughts about what skill to level up, how to use it and plans for the future. The detail of the fights is also vivid.

Art. 8/10. THIS IS JUST A BONUS. The novel has illustration pages and those are done beautifully, further, in some chapters there is a single illustration of a scene, again the art is beautiful. Due to novels rarely having art this in no way affects the score of the review and is merely added as a bonus.

Character. 7/10. Gaya Kazuhisa has been bullied by the "top dog" at school, no one, not even teachers, can go against him because of his family. Due to this, Kazuhisa cannot trust anyone and always believes acting alone is the best course.

He does show great character development as he starts to open up to others but his initial character in the first day is pitiful, I really hated his character but now he is 'ok'.

Enjoyment. 10/10. Already read up to 62 in two days. Love this novel. Battles are enjoyable to read, nothing is really cringeworthy and the characters aren't that generic.

Overall. 10/10. Overall its a fun apocalypse novel so if you like survival/apocalypse shows then this is for you.

During this review I will refer to this novel as 'Parasite.'

Story - 7/10.

The Main Character, Eiji, gets brought before the Goddess, Rux (lately the translation has differed to calling her Ruu, I will call her Rux for the purpose of this review).

After being told it is impossible for him to go back to his world he is given the opportunity to get a "Class" from the possibilities inside him. Unfortunately, as a NEET he only has the "Parasite" class, reluctantly he chooses it and is on his way.

As is normal, after being transferred and given some items by Rux he makes his way ... to the nearest town in the hopes of testing his power.

By using his power he can make himself stronger without the need for actual combat.

Now onto the actual criticisms. Because he can become stronger this way he has no reason to leave the Inn. It is 9 chapters before he even takes a request and in the same chapter he gets his first kill. He spends his days watching his level ups (you can see status in this alternate world) and just lazing about.

Further, its also around 53 chapters before you get even the slightest hint of what I believe to be the main overarching plot. Secret Organisation? Sounds like the final boss to me.

In short, the story is told at a snails pace. Most of the time he lazes the day away if you can tolerate a slow story then keep reading, if not. Well, dunno what to tell ya.

Character. 6/10. There is only development with Eiji, slowly you see Eiji grow out of NEET mode at times, currently he has grown respected enough to be offered nobility by another noble but he is the only one so far to have any semblance of development.

Other characters include Rux, Ally and Veil. Ally pops around quite a lot but only some small info is known about her, although I get the feeling the story is going into her character arc at the moment. And for Veil. Pretty much just air. Nothing is known about her.

And he just communicates with Rux from time to time.

Enjoyment. 9/10. I quite like relaxing stories so I have no issue with the snails pace, the story is quite interesting and the fight scenes are told with enough detail that you can imagine it well.

Overall. 8/10. Parasite is not for everyone, I like the relaxing pace as I mentioned prior but others will be disappointed with it. The biggest criticism I have is that characters get brought in fast and they get forgotten faster.

His summon. Veil. The Robed man. Farewell, we hardly knew ya.

In short, you have no attachment to anyone but Eiji and there's barely any there either. But for people who want a slow read check out Parasite and if you're looking for a more action based novel. Try elsewhere.

Warning. If you hate sex scenes, this is NOT for you. Turn away now.

Story. 7/10. Only 18 chapters are currently available and so there is not much to the story. Youta our MC has been dragged into a world where males do not exist anymore, the last one died over 3000 years ago. All the females have evolved in order to make sex easier. Whenever Youta touches a woman she will get into heat.

Youta hides his identity as a man to avoid the mass orgy that will inevitably follow (but cor blimey. lucky dude), as I mentioned earlier the story is merely starting so this ... is all I can really say.

Art. 9/10. Whether you like the story or not, the art is impressive.

Character. 4/10. No development thus far, characters are introduced but not much is known about them.

Enjoyment. 8/10. Its a fun manga, there are sex scenes but its hilarious, I find it more of a comedy.

Overall. 7/10. This manga was created by the same person who created Elfin Lied and Gokukoku no Brynhildr, two shows I loved so I was happy when I stumbled upon this, however, it is more of a harem sex manga which drags it down a bit.

Nevertheless, this manga is pretty funny, so far do not expect anything serious from the first 18 chapters.

Time for another review, this time on Divici Valka (or otherwise known as "Otome Sensou") For those wishing to read it, search "Otome Sensou."

Story 10/10. - The story apparently shows the Bohemian-Hussite wars. This is a historical manga where you will see the crusades that took place in 1420.

The story follows Sarka as she joins the Bohemian army led by Jan Zizka against the Christian armies, there she struggles with the realities of war and the costs needed for victory. Even if you know nothing of these wars, it is still an interesting read.

Art 10/10. - Loved the art, it was so detailed.

Character ... 8/10. - The story only really goes into Zizka and Sarka, it hasn't really gone into detail on anyone else but such is the reality of war.

Zizka - He is a smart man who has always tried to find the best army, one that follows his orders to the letter. Known as the "Killer of Knights" he has the ability to command women and children to defeat a knights charge. However, he is also cold and calculating.

Sarka - A young girl who was the sole survivor of her village, at first she wished solely for revenge but now she wishes for the power to protect. That being said, she struggles with the fact of actually taking a life.

Enjoyment 10/10. - I just love it.

Overall 9/10. - While there are many good points I cannot give it a 10 overall, personally I would like to see more character building on both sides but it is still a great read.

For anyone looking for a good war manga this is for you.

Wherever there is a review void, he appears. Its time for another review.

Story - 7/10. This is pretty much a "slice of life" style or "Cute girls doing cute things," there isn't a story about them aiming to become the best weightlifting club or beat another gym, the main character, Sakura Hibiki, is simply trying to gain a "perfect body" by attending the gym.

In this Manga you will see her doing exercises, that is the core of the Manga. Helpfully, the Manga also demonstrates what part of the body each exercise focuses on so if you feel so inclined you could join in. (But ... not me...)

Because this Manga doesn't have an actual story other than her working out I felt the word "good" fit hence the score of 7.

Whether you like to work out, or you don't, this Manga still has an interesting story. I would recommend pacing yourself and not reading too much in one day.

Art - 10/10. Impressive art. Not much to say about it.

Character - 7/10. Because I will be avoiding spoilers, I will only speak about the Main character (Sakura), Her classmate and fellow gymgoer (Akemi) and the trainer (Machio).

Sakura - At the start all she wanted was to lose weight after being told she looks bigger, now she plans to tone up her body. Shes a likeable character, fun, energetic and sweet. There isn't much to say about her.

Akemi - Influenced by her sister, she wishes to get a "macho" body and is attracted to the bodybuilder type gymgoers. She is pretty much an "Ojou-Sama" type character. She gives Sakura tips on diet and other gym trivia.

Machio - He is the best character and if you pick this up. You will agree. Machio is enthusiastic about training the girls, you can tell how he likes his work and takes it seriously.

Enjoyment - 10/10. Its an interesting Manga, I'm never bored when reading it (like I hope you feel reading this review.)

Overall - 8/10. As I mentioned above, its kind of a slice of life. Nothing too impressive but not bad at the same time. While I have given it an 8, do not think less of it.

Finally to finish, do not be put off by the Ecchi tag, just before they do the exercises one of the characters demonstrates and that's where the Ecchi tag comes from.

Now, lets all do our best. Aim to be MACHO!

Time for another review of what I think is a Manga that deserves some reviews.

Story 9/10. The story is that the MC is called into another world by two gods in order to serve as a hero, unfortunately the goddess of that world thinks him ugly and drops him at the edge of the world telling him to keep away from the humans. The other god grants him some power to survive and fight.

The story is told nicely, he gets dropped, wanders around and as you would expect, meets people. He learns magic from an orc settlement and decides to aid their problems ... by beating the cause.

In this story you will see the MC join both the Adventurers and Merchants guilds while helping people along the way with the aid of his two "servants."

Art 6/10. I do not really categorise art but immediately I realised I was unhappy with the style, still passable but not awe-inspiring, hence the six.

Characters 8/10. The three characters you will see in this Manga (so far) are the MC (Misumi Makoto). Tomoe (his first servant) and Mio (his second). Tomoe has the ability to read memories and so has fallen in love with the TV shows in his memory. Similarly, so has Mio.

Apart from their love for his memories the pair acknowledge his strength and because the MC allows non-human races to live in a "Mirage City" which only Tomoe can access they also respect his kindness.

The MC is proficient in handling archery and magic but as mentioned prior, he is also kind, kind enough to help save someones' older sister who was taken for failure to pay debts. The MC is also not arrogant over his strength, nor is he perverted.

Enjoyment 10/10. I read all chapters in one day, that speaks volume about how much it sucked me in.

Overall. 8/10. Overall its a very good Manga. Although it does appear to have lost sight of the original reason he was dropped into the world to begin with, there has yet to be any important character development moments which is unfortunate although it is early days yet.

This is my first review however I felt this Manga was so good it needed one. I am writing my review based on the current latest chapter (chapter 25).

Story 9/10. Its a great story, the MC takes on what is known as the worst senses (traits) in the game and decides to become the ultimate support class, eventually it turns out the MC's combination may not be trash after all.

What you can expect is the MC to do loads of crafting, buying, and selling. This is still a VMMORPG so the MC does also fight. The MC is a solo player but has a ... group of friends he helps and that help him from time to time, do not expect much fighting from the MC. If you are looking for a Manga with more fighting and action this is not for you, it is a relaxing look into VMMORPG's.

Art 8/10. I do not look at the quality of art much, as long as it is passable I am happy, however, this art is very good, really loving the art style.

Character 7/10. The MC is shown a lot (obviously) however the other characters are quite sparse, there are three crafting characters we will see repeatedly but outside of them we see his two sisters a few times. There is less focus on other characters in this manga hence why I rated it a 7. The character for the MC is good, as is cliché the MC is nice, takes care of others and is happy. Nothing bad to be said about his character.

Enjoyment 10/10. If you are in the mood for a nice relaxing Manga because you have had enough of big explosions, people dying or plot twists then Only Sense Online is for you.

The Manga goes at a nice pace and oddly enough just reading him craft is satisfying. I genuinely look forward to this Manga and so my enjoyment is 10.

Overall 9/10. If they focused more on the Character development of his two sisters and his friends it would make it a bit more enjoyable, as of now the other characters just pop in from time to time, I barely remember their names. But there is no doubt that this Manga is still good.

So this is my review, if you are looking for a nice relaxing Manga about VMMORPG then this is the one for you, the few fight scenes it does have are done quite well so there is still a lively aspect of action here.
