Customer Reviews
Not just a meme
We all know why you’re here. You saw the title and thought “hey, that’s like the meme”, didn’t you?
Well, that was how I started reading this, and I’ve got to tell you, it’s actually pretty solid.
If you like “That time I was reincarnated as a slime” I would definitely say that you’ll like this. That being said, there’s a high chance even if you didn’t, you’ll still like it.
It takes the absurd concept and runs with it in the same way ‘slime’ does and owns it. This story would not be what it is without it and definitely what makes the two main characters dynamic work.
That’s where ‘slime’ and this differ is in the characters. whereas ‘slime’ had a whole host of likeable but hard to remember characters (which isn’t helped by how they’re only referred to by name), this keeps it few but recognises that names aren’t enough most of the time and gives cues to help remember them, even though name is enough here.
All in all, if you’re looking for an isekai light novel about a sword and a cat girl, with creative monsters, a fleshed out world, and interesting characters, then look no further than the surprisingly tasteful ‘reincarnated as a sword’.
