That Person. Later on...(Novel): [My Comments/Reviews/Spoilers]

That Person. Later on...(Novel): [My Comments/Reviews/Spoilers]

Link:
Status (of the novel): LN (Ongoing) & WN (Complete)
My Reading: Finish (WN RAW) Plus Extra
My Comments/Reviews/Spoilers are Based on: Web Novel up to: Web Chapter 0-110 (Translated), Web Novel RAW Up to: Web Chapter 217 + 4 Extra After-story Chapters (Google Translated) 

Atmosphere: Light
Type (Transported to Another World): Reincarnation (non main characters of this novel)

World Setting (World/Backdrop Setting): A Fantasy Magic & Sword World, Medieval. There are monster and other race.
Reincarnated Person Ideas, Creations, and/or Recreation from his previous life (Either make it himself or have someone else make it for him): Foods and Bathroom Product

Main Protagonist: Human (maybe - you understand later if you read his status as it keep changing) Male, Commoner, 15 year old (at the start of the novel)/ 17 year old (from here fore in the novel). Green in the romance department but he quite a smart and sharp minded person if sometime ignorance due to lack of knowledge. If someone explain something to him, he will comprehend quite well. In term of love I feel that the author design the MC as a "sensitive" person meaning their emotion as a whole is quite weak. They can easily get depress or sad when they feel rejected. MC has an average face, stated by everyone in the novel. Our MC never seem to have time or remember to upgrade his guild card so it still the lowest rank.

Romance:
People fall in love here and there, but of course our MC with his lack of experience in this department will have emotion that will "go through the roof" and "crash down like a ton of brick". All misunderstand will be solve later as MC gain a harem without him knowing. Even after they confirm their feeling, our MC is weak to women pressure but not to point of losing his reason while protecting himself as a "herbivore" from those "carnivore" women. Even the goddess are "carnivore" women.

MC's Harem and designated future wife: (they all get along, wife alliance)
  • Female Elf: warrior, was confess to first among the female by MC.
  • Female Prostitute: human, 19 year. The second person MC confess to among the female
  • Younger Twin Princess: human, magic barrier specialist
  • Older Twin Princess: human, close combat specialist
  • Female Dragon Human: A human with dragon blood, related to real dragon. Hero, The first to kiss MC (steal 1st kiss) while have her 1st kiss.
  • MC's Younger (blood related) Sister: Reincarnated person from earth, Brother Complex, CEO of a merchant company.
  • Female Beastman (feline): Blood related to royalty (her uncle a king). A lady and sword expert user. 
My Comments/Reviews/Spoilers: If you read the "Description" from the 1st link, and you might be confused. Let start from the beginning to restate the description"; On MC 15th birthday he saw his childhood friend (female) who he made a promise to (stay together) is kissing the hero in a back alley (unknown if force or willing - kissing). Due to his uncontrollable emotion in his heart, he ran away and toward "the mountain" (a no name mountain at the center of the continent). Reason: probably wasn't thinking at all. Somehow survive for 2 year up there until he wanted human contact again and came back down. His first contact with people is a group of elf and a group of human holding a elf child hostage. And here where the story begin. I don't want go into detail but our MC became "overpowered" after he came down the mountain and only when he sign up at the guild and show his status that he (and us as the reader) know why he overpowered and how come he survive up there for so long (WN Chapter 13).

Here how the story break down so far as I see:
  • Start of the novel (go read "description from 1st link)
  • Encounter a hostage situation when coming down the mountain. resolve hostage situation. get invited to elf village. felt in love with an elf. that elf was challenge in a duel for her position in the village. duel got out of hand but MC resolve it while making a confession to that elf. that elf response cause a misunderstand to our MC who though he was reject and ran away before she finish her word.
  • Enter a town and sign up as adventurer. Found out he strong, shining light on his ignorance. Solve several emergency and normal request/quest in this town. Became a town hero of sort. Was intro to a certain brothel and met a certain prostitute. Event happen every time MC went there just to chat, until one last event where MC also resolve and confess to her at the same time. Thing didn't turn out well as that prostitute and few other escape town the next day due to that last event involve the lord of that town. The messenger to MC from that prostitute give their own interpretation which in turn give another strike to MC heart. A male friend got him on his feet as they travel to the capital city together. Another misunderstanding was created when that prostitute found out what her friend (the messenger) said and want to correct that by looking for him. She encounter the elf who also seek the MC out with the same goal.
  • Travel to the capital city with a friend (handsome male) as he trying join the knight. Encounter problem along the way. Got a request from a person they save which turn out to be a princess. Resolve that problem but MC was force to head out right away as one of his companion got kidnapped. The twin princess plan to follow the MC footstep (who already left) met the elf and the prostitute, they join hand as they have the same goal, harem created. 
  • MC arrive at where his kidnapped companion (baby dragon) was at. There was no fess with returning the companion but the MC did need to dual someone just because. MC dual that person and save her life as well. Also after the dual since MC won where the made up rule stated that whoever won her in a dual will become her husband. Since that person is not against it, the MC can only do nothing. While have such discussion after the dual, a friend of that person request help from her but because she still healing in bed, she point to MC as her replacement. And so they (MC) head toward a beastmen country. Not long after MC left this city, MC so call harem arrive and met the new girl, new girl accept.
  • MC and companion arrive in the beastman country. First sneaking around before got betray and then finally fight broke out, of course MC resolve (with brute force). Finally met all harem member and holding MC down to resolve all misunderstanding which they did. MC then head to another country to help the beastman country out.
  • MC and companion arrive in that other country. Sneak around before just using brute force on to the kingdom doorstep. Remove and replace the King and save the people. New harem member join MC. MC and harem head toward "the mountain".
  • Spend time up on top of "the mountain" at the Dragon king home. Crafting weapon and armor for harem member.
  • Return to his hometown to face with his childhood friend (female). Having to deal with a princess marriage problem and knowing that his childhood friend truly felt in love with the hero who she feel bad about breaking her promise with MC while she explain it to MC face to face. Left town after dealing with everything.
  • Team God & Goddess Plus MC vs Team Evil Spirit. Team MC harem vs Mob monster.
  • Ending: MC marry all his harem member, hinted that MC finally slept with a women (on the night after their marriage been done), visit (greet) all the place they travel to. They live at the dragon king place, also the goddesses pop up now and then as they can't stay for very long on the mortal realm.
  • Short after story: MC honeymoon and meeting a traveling bookstore clerk
To me there like a running gag in this novel that show up just for the laugh and those are:
  • Reading the MC's Guild Card Status
  • Random highwayman/bandit that show up
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 
I see this novel as an good read. The ending is more of a wrap up of everything, giving info on characters and what they end up as.

Extras Note: A user comments (That I pick) that (best) describe the differences between the LN & Manga vs WN (edited by me).

User: reivatin (https://www.mangaupdates.com/series.html?id=135760) [June 11th, 2017]
[The manga version is using LN as basic which have different approach, while the story is the same. While WN is, you can say, is a trial and error without editor version. Which pure the author best thought in letter, it have a downside for me (user: reivatin), it can be said as spoiler.


In WN version, yes the first heroine, MC's osananajimi (Childhood friend), fall in love with the Hero (literally this world hero, not MC), she is not faithful and choose hero instead of MC. There's event after a few arc when the this osananajimi (Childhood friend) reject MC truthfully and say it just a child promise and ask him to move on, which he really move on, or run away.

While in Manga and LN the MC's osananajimi 
(Childhood friend) is faithful and refuse the kiss (in this case the MC ran away first as he didn't see the later part of her refusal) and search the MC together with his imouto (little sister)
