Kenichi Yamada was a 35-year-old salaryman. As a hardcore game enthusiast, he was saddened by the modern trend towards casual games.

So, when a site claimed to be «for people who like to do things the hard way,» he just couldn’t resist. Thus, he was reincarnated into another world as Allen, playing on Hell Mode.

This is fantasy light novel about Allen’s journey as a summoner.

Reincarnated as a serf, he starts from nothing.

His journey begins with absolutely no knowledge of the world around him, just like those games he played 10, 20 years ago. Collapse

    I might of liked this if it was a into to light novels but after many great hits this one just feels like a intro to isekai, with bad(IMO) summoning skills.

    Story-wise is fine, but I only got to chapter 150.

    Another summoner 75% of web or lightnovel mc's become summoners. Even if that novel is not about summoners. Not too many good mc's out there who kick ass on their own

    He claims to be hardcore gamer but then he plays a summoner?

    Guess I’ll just wait for the LN to catch up since the sites I read on don’t feel the need to update this series.

      There most certainly are new ones, almost daily, it’s just literally every site but the official one(which is very hard to read off of, hate their UI) has forgotten about this for some reason.

      but 14 in chapter 150 ish. i know it sounds kinda slow, but you guys have to factor in the story building also. it's a known RPG trope,the moment the character is strong enough,they will be somewhat fast travel the shit outta the journey and skipped most of the environment details,and just show the most important part of the journey.

        Kind of felt like the author was keeping him young to avoid having to write any meaningful romance. That way, there could be a convenient time skip and the girls already love him.

      He started out at 0yrs old though and has been continuously practicing since then, and the scale of the enemies have slowly gotten larger since then. If you’re gonna mention his current age, at least mention the starting age and general progression to get to that age.

        Okay, I will. For anyone who is bored enough to read the comments on a pirate site...

        The general progression is slow and boring. He starts off at 0 years old and you have to read his whole childhood for over 150 chapters. There is no meaningful romance or harem progression as the MC is a kid but also one of those Japanese herbivore MCs. Fin.

    Just under halfway through the current chapters (at 54) and it's pretty good so far.
    He spends a lot of time working out how things work, which is kinda refreshing given how generally there would be a system which would explain things. Instead he has to do trial and error and use his own deductions to figure things out.

    The only kinda strange thing is the fact that in some of the earlier chapters he sometimes talks about him doing a speedrun. I know that when JP mentions speedruns they generally mean RTA runs, but it still doesn't really make sense here as it is in no way a speedrun. He chose a difficulty level that makes things like 100* more difficult for him and it takes years for him to level up his skills.
    Maybe its just an issue with translation or some other difference in understanding.
    Luckily it seems to have not been mentioned much at all as the story continues on and the quality is still pretty decent as of now.

      Yeah, overall its a good novel, just a few cultural things that were lost in translation were an issue for me. However, the translator does their best to give context, so I really don't have many gripes with the novel. 4.5/5 for me
