I Reincarnated into a Game Filled with Mods

My Thoughts on I Reincarnated into a Game Filled with Mods

"I Reincarnated into a Game Filled with Mods" is quite the wild ride. I jumped into this web novel expecting a typical game-transmigration isekai, and while it hits some familiar beats, it definitely has its own unique flavor. It's a blend of intense action, mature themes, and a heavy dose of fan service that might not be for everyone, but if you're looking for something a little different, it could be worth checking out.

First Impressions

The premise is definitely attention-grabbing. Our MC, a hardcore gamer who's conquered a ridiculously difficult modded version of a Souls-like game, gets transported into that very game world. But, of course, it's not the vanilla version; it's the modded one. Think gender-bent characters, skimpy outfits, and a world turned up to eleven. It's a bit absurd, but that's part of the charm, I think.

What Works Well

The action sequences are a major draw. The author clearly knows their stuff when it comes to combat inspired by games like Sekiro and Bloodborne. I could easily visualize the fights, with the MC using his knowledge of the game to parry and outmaneuver enemies. Plus, the harem aspect is well-integrated, with each female character having her own distinct personality and motivations. I also appreciate that the MC's growth feels relatively organic. He's not instantly overpowered, which keeps things interesting. The author also seems to be aware of the absurd setting, which helps to alleviate some of the more ridiculous aspects of the story.

Areas of Concern

The MC can be a bit frustrating at times. Some of his decisions and internal monologues can drag on, especially during critical moments. I also noticed that the constant switching between formal and informal speech can be a bit jarring and repetitive. While the "no-hit run" gamer background is interesting, it does lead to a lack of tension in some of the combat scenarios since he's theoretically perfect.

Final Verdict

Overall, "I Reincarnated into a Game Filled with Mods" is a guilty pleasure kind of read. It's not high literature, but it's entertaining and well-written for what it is. If you're a fan of isekai, action, harems, and don't mind a healthy dose of mature content, then you might just enjoy this modded adventure. I'd give it a solid 3.75/5.
