Chillin’ in Another World with Level 2 Super Cheat Powers (Light Novel) Volume 1
The Magical Kingdom of Klyrode summons hundreds of heroes from other worlds every year to fight in their war against the Dark One and his army of powerful demons. Banaza is one of those heroes, summoned from the Royal Capital Paluma, but something’s not right—Banaza is only an average merchant. He has no magic, no fighting ability, and his stats are abysmal. Worse, a mishap leaves him unable to return home! Rejected as a hero and stranded in another world, abandoned to the far reaches of the kingdom by a cruel king who just wants him gone, Banaza’s fate looks pretty bleak. But what will happen once the failed hero candidate finds himself with super cheat powers once he hits level two?

The manga is quite fun, but the novel quickly becomes gross and creepy and hey, let’s put some rape in at the end for no reason.

I didn't absolutely hate this book so it's not a one star but it wasn't good either. honestly if I'm going through your book thinking I could have done this better you're doing something wrong. By the way I don't care to try and hide any spoilers for this book so read at your own risk.
The plot was stereotypical. MC gets summoned as a hero, gets major superpowers because of the summons, lives life on easy mode. So slice of life story about an overpowered character.
I don't mind OP characters but they've got to be interesting in some way. This dude is not. (so much so I can't even remember his name.) I do remember from the prologue, he's suppose to be an astounding merchant with prodigy status when it comes to business acumen and accounting. He's also suppose to be beautiful not handsome (mistaken for a woman for some reason. like why?) and it's established he's not racist and everybody likes him including his enemies. Yeah fine whatever but he doesn't seem to be any smarter than the average person and is only charismatic and a chick magnet because the plot says so.
So as I said he's not very interesting and the plot is just irksome. He shows up finds out he's been stranded after a 3 day party for someone else. Gets kicked out of the kingdom gets exiled by the king and planted with a honey trap meant to kill him, kills a slime, which gets him to level 2 and jumpstarts his OPness. Which leads to the narrative asides that in this context annoy me. Especially since I consider them pointless, Dude gets OP powers and doesn't realize he's OP and the narrative goes "little does he know..." I know he doesn't know, the dude is clueless, and doesn't seem to have all the much in the way deductive reasoning. I don't need little notes telling me random trivia that is pointless to the story.
He's been blessed mightily and is in fact more powerful than any hero that's ever been summoned to the kingdom! He just cast purification which normally takes 10 of the kingdom's mages to do! *gasp* yeah yeah. It breaks up the flow of the story and honestly if the title didn't clue you in to the MC being overpowered then that's on you.
Not only does he go into exile, which timeline wise I think is like the same day they realize he's still in the castle. But he purifies the forest he's sent to which kills this world's version of Fenrir and later that same day marries the girl who's brother he just killed. Who by the way looked upon humans as nothing more than edible chew toys basically until he dominated her and suddenly she's all "humans for life!" No conflict no build up and I mean you find out later she knows he murdered her brother (at least it should be that way from her POV, but she's somehow cool with it. Because she LOVES him. uh-huh) Although in this case I'm letting the instawife thing go because the story sets him up to have a harem, seeing as how he meets a group of women adventures the same day he meets his so called wife, who all obviously have a crush on him by the time he sends them away. At least I don't have to deal with that nonsense.
So anyway obviously since our MC is the protagonist the so-called hero is your stereotypical golden-haired pretty boy antagonist whom everyone adores because you know he's "the hero", but he is a malicious idiot. I don't remember his name either. (I only know the wolf girls' name is Rhys because I happen to like it.) The author does nothing with this. By the guy's second appearance everyone knows he's a bust. Like we don't even get a temporary situation where our MC is the one killing all the monsters but everyone think's it's the hero somehow. Hero boy wants our MC to become his servant and do all the hard-work for him but we all know that's not going to happen. So MC does and instant moving spell to take him, his house, his wife, and his not-harem to a whole new location (somehow still in the exact same kingdom). In retaliation the hero decides to send a Djinn after him, who surprise, surprise joins his harem, because he basically beat her to a pulp for hurting Rhys. the wife one. Which if this had been a good story with great relationship and plot build up would have been a squeal swoony moment. She jumped in front of him to save his life. He retaliated by taking vengeance on the person who hurt her. The romance! The drama! the fact this is not that.
So of course the Djinn is defeated and joins the house, and the hero makes a dark deal and releases the Mage of Midnight. Catchy title don't remember her name although she announced it like every chance she got. And since she's female somehow joins the group as well. Don't ask me how, at this point I was skipping through pages. Somewhere in there the king, who is abusive, because reasons, has for "reasons", donated his own magic in an effort to save his kingdom, nevermind he's never put forth his own effort before; and is now comatose. Leaving the princess who is sweet and good. in charge of the kingdom.
Look there is chilling and there is lazy. This, all this, is lazy. The MC isn't laid back he's stupid alright not stupid just bland, cookie cutter, boring. Look the guy is OP and suppose to be living life on easy mode, but he ain't exactly living. Even if the resolution of the conflict is the fact he blows everything away let him be the resolution. Instead everything is contrived convivence. The only thing he's using his powers on are monster mobs in the woods.... okay to be fair he does use his powers on the Djinn in a "serious" fight and he one-shots some dragons, but all his problems are contrived away. Despot king? No problem the man takes himself out in a paragraph. Wannabe hero of the land? No problem, he shoots himself in the foot and ends up a fugitive on the run. Demon king suppose to be the big bad of the land? nah dude has a crush on one of his harem girls. You know the resolutions don't all have to be battles, but none of them are interesting, or amusing or anything. The guy never even tells off the king for what he did! or the hero for that matter.
Last things, I skipped most of the epilogues. One of them had a sexual abuse warning before it. so I'm assuming someone got assaulted or full on raped, take from that what you will. The other showcased the hero and his obligatory doormat girl and if there were more I jumped over them. There were other things, but I don't remember and they weren't worth it really.
I don't mind slice of life books. It can be fun to go though life where conflicts are brief and you can focus on the good things. But if you want to do this you have got to have compelling characters, or a compelling plot, and a reasonable timeline. None are present here.
Alright rant's over. I made it to the end of the book. I've finished another book towards my challenge. Hooray. Now on to something better.
So, recommended? No. And I cannot believe there are 18 books in this series. Seriously?
buy/borrow? If for some reason my review has encouraged you to read the book. (sorry for that) borrow it.

Save your time and money, read something else
The story itself is the most 4/10 going, the writing style makes it hard to stay invested.
There are dozens of light novels that tell a similar story and most of them do it the same or better, it took me months to slog through the first 2 volumes (I bought the first 3 together) and I've just accepted that I've wasted money on the third and deleted it from my library.

This story progresses too quickly. The plot moves too fast, making the characters feel one-dimensional and preventing any sort of connection from forming to engage the reader emotionally. Honestly, the first novel could have, and should have, been expanded into at least three novels to allow more character, plot, and world building.

More of a 3.5 instead of a 4.
MC is a little too OP and the comedy is very hit or miss.

I had rather low expectations when I started reading this series. I am not against OP protagonists breezing their way through life on principal, but I found most boring. After all, without a challenge for the protagonist to overcome as an author you do make things harder to keep the story entertaining.
After reading the book I was not left surprised. It was to me a rather boring read even if it was a short volume. Challenges are almost literally hand waved away, the characters are shallow and when there is any character development is an extreme switch from "butcher all humans" to "lets marry this human, who has killed my brother and defeated me in single combat". The pacing is also rather quick, powerful enemies appear and are defeated in a dozen or so pages. It makes me wonder what happens in all the next volumes of this rather long series, although not curious enough to actually read them.
Add in a superfluous system (what is the point of levels if the MC has godly ability scores by level 2 and knows all skills and spells?), some silly sex stuff (although I suppose at least they do the deed which is more than in most series in this genre) and a villainous king whose actions make no sense and I honestly cannot recommend people this series. There are better OP MCs who are chilling out there.

One of those tensionless slice-of-life stories where the main character is so overpowered that there is no threat to them at all, just comedy. Sometimes I enjoy a bit of stress-free fluff, but it relies on fun characters and relationships to provide the tension. This extract speaks for itself in illustrating the rich tapestry of character motivations unfurling here. To set the scene, our hero has just defeated a demonic monster which has abruptly transformed into a buxom woman:
“I promised I would be your wife. I want to be your wife. Wherever you come from, I’m not going to change my mind.” She smiled. “I swear my eternal loyalty to you. For the rest of my life, I swear to stay by your side. So, please let me be with you, Master—I mean, Husband.”
[...a few pages later...]
When Flio had reached Level 2, he had mastered every skill and every spell that existed in the world. As it turned out, skills related to seduction or pleasure were no exception. The more he wanted to make love with Fenrys, the more his unrivaled skills of foreplay began to manifest, and the more his peerless sexual magic took effect.

Quite nice however the scenes are too fast for me to digest. Kind of harem which is a downside of this novel, in my opinion. Also, small adventures, since it focuses on one country only. I hope it will have a lot on the next volume. And, I love it how the main character focuses on his self development and unbothered to his surroundings but he will step out if something happened to his love ones. That's all! Read lots!

Not much depth and the MC was way over-powered,
Not much depth and the MC was way over-powered, leaving no tension of the MC having to overcome hurdles. The characters were rushed and not much of a plot and the storytelling was contrived. Not suitable for younger readers with sexual undertones.
All that being said, there were some funny/entertaining pieces. I’m not going to be reading the series and recommend not wasting your time.

An overpowered hero at its finest
I really enjoyed this book, with its overwhelmingly overpowered hero. This book was truly a treat to read, with clear and not so clear divisions between good and evil, and right and wrong. Great stuff! I can't wait to read the next installment 😊

One of my favorites.
Big fan of this story. I had originally found the manga, but then wanted to support the creator more. It's refreshing and incredibly rare to read isekai where the MC picks a waifu for laifu.

Another excellent read. Love the flip flop in story line. I would allow my children ( If I had any) read even with the possible harem story line possibly.

Dud. As the title implies, he becomes good at everything. No challenges for him. Getting a girl was easy too. Definitely regret purchasing book.
