Description
“Soso,” “fairly good,” “so-so,” “not bad”… Matsumoto Isamu, 34 years old (divorced once), graduated from a mediocre private university in the provinces and got a job at a decent major SIer (System Integrator) company in Tokyo. He works as a SE (System Engineer). If one were to describe his life up until now, these words might come to mind. However, his “so-so” life, which he was spending as usual with his beloved cat Orihime (a British Shorthair), ended suddenly one day. Isamu found himself transported to another world, where transmigrants frequently visit. There, transmigrants, with their unique powers, are taken in by noble families in a protective manner, learning from past tragedies. However, when it was determined that Isamu didn’t have usable skills, he was cleverly refused by the marquis family, who should have originally taken him in. Instead, he ended up being taken in by a poor viscount family. This is a tale of a man who, surrounded by his beloved cat and the warm-hearted people of the viscount’s household, combined his divine-like skill with his knowledge of programming to revive the theories of ancient magic and became a revolutionary in the world of magical tools.

My Thoughts on In Another World With Cats ~ System Engineers Analyze Lost Ancient Magic Theory and Bring About a Revolution in the World of Magic Tools
Okay, that title is a mouthful, right? But beneath the lengthy name lies a surprisingly engaging isekai story. I dove into "In Another World With Cats..." expecting a fluffy, cat-centric adventure, and while there is a cat (at least initially), the core of the story is much more about unraveling the mysteries of lost magical technology.
First Impressions
The initial setup is a bit slow, I'll admit. It takes a while to establish the world and the MC's situation, but once it gets going, I found myself hooked by the premise. A modern engineer using his programming knowledge to decipher and improve ancient magic systems? Count me in!
What Works Well
The blend of fantasy and technological problem-solving is really well done. It's fascinating to see the MC apply his modern understanding to a world that relies on magic they barely comprehend. I particularly enjoyed the descriptions of his attempts to reverse engineer and then improve the magic systems. I was eager to see what new magical iterations of modern tools and equipment the MC would come up with next. It's a refreshing take on the isekai genre, avoiding the typical "overpowered protagonist" trope. The MC has his cheat, sure, but he still needs to work hard to understand and utilize it.
Areas of Concern
There are a few things that held me back from completely loving this novel. The dialogue can feel overly formal and stiff, making conversations sound like business correspondence rather than natural interactions. I also felt the story could have done a better job explaining why no one else had managed to improve the magic system before the MC arrived. The translation also has some inconsistencies, and some errors such as misgendering characters can be distracting.
Final Verdict
Despite its flaws, "In Another World With Cats..." is a worthwhile read for anyone looking for a unique isekai experience. The blend of fantasy and technology is compelling, and the MC's journey of discovery is genuinely engaging. If you can overlook the sometimes clunky dialogue and occasional translation issues, you'll find a rewarding story about innovation and adaptation in a magical world.
