Description
In order to prevent the resurrection of the Demon King, high school students, Tsumugi and his friends were summoned to another world with their class. They were told that in this world, there is a friend function called [Bonds-list], and by making a contract with others, their status will increase. However, when Tsumugi makes a contract – for some reason, his status drops. The ability given to him is [bond-eating], a meaningless one with no known effect. Two and a half months later, Tsumugi left the royal castle and was as a lone adventurer, but he bought a s*ave that he needed to take the guild’s rank advancement test. That s*ave was a monster girl worth only 30 silver coins.

My Thoughts on Another World Loner Doesn’t Need The Friend Feature
Alright, let's dive into "Another World Loner Doesn’t Need The Friend Feature." This one’s been on my radar, and after digging in, I've got some thoughts. It's a mixed bag, for sure, with some interesting ideas battling against some questionable choices.
First Impressions
Initially, the story throws you into a pretty standard summoned heroes scenario. We've got the whole isekai setup, with a group of people, including our MC, yanked into another world. There's a bit of an anti-hero vibe early on, which I always appreciate. Then, BAM, a sudden time skip throws you for a loop, followed by flashback chapters. It feels a little jarring, but I think the flashbacks are necessary to fill in the blanks and provide some much-needed context.
What Works Well
The story definitely has potential. The world-building seems solid enough, and the hints about the MC's powers are intriguing, even if they aren't fully explained yet. I can see the seeds of a compelling light novel here, if it gets a bit of polish. The concept of a loner in a world that seemingly requires social interaction is interesting, and I was curious to see how the MC would navigate that.
Areas of Concern
Now, here's where things get a bit dicey. That title promises a loner MC, right? But the initial setup seems to contradict that. Apparently, the MC is summoned with a whole group of classmates and even gets pressured into forming a friendship to boost stats. The fact that his stats are negatively impacted when the princess offers to be his "friend" just adds to the confusion. This directly clashes with the "loner" aspect, which is a big letdown. Then comes the time skip, and the MC apparently heads straight to the black market to buy a slave, which is a major red flag for me.

Final Verdict
Overall, "Another World Loner Doesn’t Need The Friend Feature" has a decent premise and some potentially interesting world-building. However, the execution seems to stumble, particularly with the misleading title and the MC's choices after the time skip. It feels like it needs some serious revision to truly capitalize on its potential and deliver on the promise of a loner protagonist navigating a friendship-focused world. For now, I'd approach this one with caution.
