Arisugawa Kyoko, who self-proclaimed to be an ordinary high school girl, died after slipping in the bathroom and then encountered a god-like deity called the Creator God. This led to her reincarnation in a different world. In this completely unfamiliar world, she starts a new life as Alice. A new world and a new life await her. Various encounters, adventures, and dramas she has never seen before are waiting for her. Yes, this is a typical story of someone being reincarnated into another world, just like many others out there. The only thing that sets her apart is that she’s a girl who knows nothing about the usual tropes, clichés, flags, cheats, common sense, and so on, often found in this kind of genre. In this world, there’s a forest that explodes and blows away anything that shouts. The race she was reborn as is the [True Ancestor] a vampire species that became extinct 30,000 years ago. The first being she encounters is a dragon called the [Black Death Dragon]Her stats are so overpowered that even the gods would be amazed.“Elves? A race? I don’t really know, but it’s like the Peking Man, I guess. Whatever.”“Huh? I’m a vampire?”“Immortality…? What about becoming the envy of everyone with a nice body?”“Eighty billion of Magic power…? Well, maybe that’s quite a lot. Well, more is always better.”This is the story of a completely ordinary girl named Alice, who knows nothing about the isekai genre.In essence, the protagonist will travel the world leisurely with companions, leading a daily life with a comedic touch. Since the protagonist is oblivious to the concept of isekai, she won’t hold back. She’ll dismiss everything as “fantastic otherworldly stuff” and “truly a world of magic.” She’ll even casually kill people.“Lately, I’ve been getting tired of reading heavy stories…”“I want to read a heartwarming tale about silly and cute girls.”“Of course, it’s got to be a stress-free story where the protagonist is overpowered and defeats bad guys left and right.”“Rise-to-power stories… Maybe it’s best if the protagonist is overpowered right from the start.”“Stories about heroes, demon lords, nobles, s*aves – those are good too, but I want to read human dramas set in the everyday lives of ordinary people. Is there anything like that somewhere?”For those seeking such a story, this is recommended. Her stats are so overpowered that even the gods would be amazed. “Elves? A race?

Alice-san wa Template o Shiranai Review & Spoilers - Novel Translator
My Thoughts on Alice-san wa Template o Shiranai
Okay, I've been diving into "Alice-san wa Template o Shiranai," and I've got some thoughts. It's definitely a novel with a unique flavor, though perhaps not to everyone's taste. It's a blend of adventure, comedy, and fantasy with a dash of shoujo ai, so if you're into that kind of mix, keep reading.
First Impressions
The initial chapters were intriguing. The premise of an MC who's genuinely clueless about isekai tropes is a breath of fresh air. It's almost like a throwback to pre-isekai saturation, which I appreciated. The way Alice dies is darkly humorous, setting the stage for a potentially fun ride.
What Works Well
Alice's cluelessness can be pretty entertaining. She's undeniably cute, and that seems to be a major draw for many readers. The translation quality is consistently good, making it easy to get lost in the story. The initial concept of a protagonist completely unaware of fantasy conventions is refreshing, and when the story focuses on that, it shines.
Areas of Concern
However, the charm starts to wear thin as the story progresses. Alice's naivete sometimes crosses the line into stupidity, which can be frustrating. The internal consistency of the world-building and character abilities seems shaky. Rules established in one chapter are seemingly forgotten in the next, which can pull you out of the narrative. Also, the pacing sometimes suffers from info dumps, particularly regarding character stats, which feels like the author is trying too hard to emphasize the MC's power. The side characters can also be a bit... much. The death god dragon's personality leans heavily into perversion, and the gods' obsession with Alice feels forced and attention-seeking.

Final Verdict
"Alice-san wa Template o Shiranai" has potential. It's a lighthearted read with moments of genuine amusement, but its inconsistencies and reliance on tropes can be off-putting. If you're looking for a deeply immersive or logically consistent fantasy world, this might not be for you. But if you're willing to overlook some flaws for the sake of a cute and clueless MC, it might be worth a try as a time-killer. Ultimately, I'd give it a tentative recommendation, but with a healthy dose of caution.
