My Thoughts on Beyond†the Abyss of Deep Magic: Summoned to Another World Along with the School, I Aim for the Deepest Part of the Dungeon with a Level 1 Restriction Play! ~ Anyway, I’m Surrounded by Girls Who Have Become Insatiable After Leveling Up and I’m Almost Dead~

This title is definitely a mouthful, but after diving in, I found a web novel with some intriguing, if occasionally frustrating, elements. It's got that classic isekai setup: school gets transported, dungeons appear, and our protagonist is anything but ordinary.

First Impressions

Initially, I felt a bit lost. The story throws you right into the dungeon, and it takes a while to understand what's going on. There is a bit of an information dump that can be hard to keep up with. However, once the world-building catches up, the plot becomes more engaging.

What Works Well

The core concept of a level 1 restriction play is pretty neat. Instead of leveling up, the MC pours his experience into a unique fairy companion and buffs himself with titles, leading to a "Level 1.5" character who's surprisingly strong. I also appreciate that the protagonist isn't just handed power; he works for it, relying on skill and combat sense honed from a dark past. The fight scenes are well-choreographed and exciting.

The heroines are distinct and well-developed enough that you look forward to their "capture." The mix of school life, dungeon crawling, and, ahem, adult scenes is balanced well enough to keep things interesting.

Areas of Concern

The constant POV shifts can be jarring. It sometimes feels random, and you're left trying to figure out whose perspective you're reading. Also, the translation isn't perfect. There are moments where the dialogue feels off, and the speaker isn't clear.

Final Verdict

"Beyond†the Abyss of Deep Magic" is a mixed bag. If you're looking for a unique isekai with a strong protagonist, engaging fight scenes, and don't mind some translation quirks or potentially problematic adult content, this might be worth checking out. Otherwise, proceed with caution. I'd give it a solid 3.5/5 stars.
