Jitsu wa Ore, Saikyou deshita? (Am I Actually the Strongest?)

A shut-in is reborn into another world with the promise of a peaceful life. Although born into royalty, because his magic appeared to be weak, his parents abandoned him without a thought in the forest to be devoured by monsters. However, his magic is actually inhumanly strong. Just what will he have to do to attain the peaceful life he so desires?

Preliminary (19/? eps)

This story has a repetitive premise in the manga genre: going into a fantasy world and reincarnated as a different character with some kind of aptitude/knack. The story started in a methodical prelude of the main character's self, albeit being a little abrupt with the whole "why, or how he died and got reincarnated in the first place", it still did summarize a little background of his past life; which is the generic isekai life, being a shut-in for years. Up until the story now(19 chapters), there are a few flaws that can be subjective of whether being acute or not, but maybe my ... preference is peculiar because I don't mind, for example, tiny plot holes and common supporter character personalities throughout the story. Okay, now over this preliminary, let's start the actual review:

Story: 7
I've aggregated my beliefs of what is mediocre. As I see it, this show started strong and had the potential of being better, but that wasn't auspicious for the author to write about. If you ask me, I would've liked to see the growth of the MC, and not some huge time skip into the future, for the idea of having conscience and precociousness as a kid growing up is, in my opinion, pretty nice and humorous to see, as well as the relationships he might've accumulated throughout his childhood could've been seen. So overall a 7, the slightly higher than mediocre.

Art: 7
Nothing to say much here, just art that is coherent and decipherable. Nothing too much, and nothing too little.

Character: 8
Now, this is the majority of my focus on this review. You've seen a bunch of MC by now, and they're mostly either timid, doing things tentatively, or aloof, intelligent, and condescending. However, the MC from this story is a combination of both factors, just with a little bit of savagery. The MC is just lovable and overall, wants the best for his family while being charitable and solicitous time from time. However, when it comes to people who would disrupt his plans of being a shut-in during his times in this fantasy world or hurt people important to him(Mostly family) he would be ruthless and slaughter without mercy. Even though his personality can be cruel at times, he still cares about what his little sister sees, so he would refrain from blood in front of her, and he doesn't bravado with his powers deliberately in front of others. Just overall, an MC that is not totally guileless, or being too disingenuous.

Enjoyment:7
My enjoyment is a 7(Average in my own terms). This story is easily anticipated and the flow of things isn't too fast, nor too slow, which is rather nice.

Overall: My overall is a 7
This story being average with a laden of trepidation on the future, and how the story will turn out due to its ongoing status. What I can say though is to not expect a lot from it since it's starting premise is quite common and repetitive.

Preliminary (60/? eps)

In the realm of lighthearted and comedic manga, Jitsu wa Ore, Saikyou deshita? ka, also known as "Am I Actually the Strongest?", stands out as a gem that will tickle your funny bone and warm your heart. The story revolves around Haruto, a reincarnated individual who possesses immense power known as "Insignia". However, rather than revel in his overpowered abilities, Haruto chooses to lead a peaceful life as a humble farmer, concealing his true strength.

One of the main draws of Jitsu wa Ore, Saikyou deshita? ka is its impeccable blend of humor and heart. The manga is a masterclass in comedic timing, effortlessly weaving hilarious ...

Preliminary (1/? eps)

This is terrible. It's basically just nonsense scribbled on a page. It has every trope that has ever existed in the genre, but the author tries to cover it up by disguising it as "parody" which is incredibly lazy and pathetic. There is absolutely no substance here other than MC is a god, and he needs to show off his power every chapter. I actually enjoy the isekai genre, but this beyond anything I could stomach. I've read around 30 isekai this year and this is definitely the worst. The Artwork is horrific. The panels don't even have backgrounds? I didn't even know low quality ...
