Description
This story takes place in a strange world that’s not the earth as we know it. In this world, there are a few so-called tr*sh Skills that are looked down on. Our protagonist is an eight-year-old girl who lives on her own named Marron, who discovers that there is a way to make the horribly disgusting tr*sh Skill Fruit actually taste good. While nobody else would even think of eating a tr*sh Skill Fruit, Marron – her discovery in hand – kept on eating them, until her ‘useless’ tr*sh Skills became something incredible. All the while, she’s yanked around by a fairy with a superiority complex named Alto and a problematic Japanese boy named Tarō who’s transported to her world. Despite that, Marron’s a girl who likes to go at her own pace. This is her adventure!

My Thoughts on If You Train Them Up, Even T*ash Skills Are Pretty Useful!
Alright, let's dive into "If You Train Them Up, Even T*ash Skills Are Pretty Useful!" This web novel has been on my radar, and after digging in, I have some thoughts to share. Overall, it's a mixed bag, with flashes of brilliance overshadowed by some significant stumbling blocks.
First Impressions
Initially, I was intrigued by the premise. A world where seemingly useless skills can be honed into powerful assets? Sounds like a fun twist on the typical fantasy fare. The early chapters focus heavily on world-building, which, while detailed, can feel like a bit of an information overload. It's like being handed a massive textbook before you even get to the story.
What Works Well
The world-building, despite its initial density, is actually quite compelling. The author has clearly put a lot of thought into the intricacies of this fantasy realm, and there are some genuinely cool concepts at play. I also appreciate the translation quality, which seems consistently well done. The female protagonist has potential, and I'm hoping her character gets more development as the story progresses.
Areas of Concern
My biggest issue, and it seems I'm not alone here, is the character of Taro. He's intended to be an outsider, newly isekai'd from Japan, but his portrayal veers into insufferable territory. His constant interruptions, refusal to listen to advice, and general ignorance are grating. While I understand the author might be using him as a vehicle for exposition, it doesn't make him any less annoying to read. It's a shame because this one character significantly detracts from my overall enjoyment. Also, the pacing is quite slow at times, with the plot struggling to move forward amidst the world-building exposition.
Final Verdict
"If You Train Them Up, Even T*ash Skills Are Pretty Useful!" has potential. The world is interesting, and the core concept is promising. However, the pacing issues and, more significantly, the deeply annoying character of Taro hold it back. Whether you can tolerate him might be the deciding factor in whether you stick with this one. For me, it’s a hesitant recommendation, with a strong caveat.
