My Thoughts on Kanna no Kanna
"Kanna no Kanna" is a web novel that immediately grabbed my attention with its unique take on the isekai genre. It's not a perfect story, but it's a refreshing read that kept me engaged. While it has it's flaws, I found it to be a worthwhile read.
First Impressions
Right off the bat, I appreciated that the main character, Kanna, isn't your typical overpowered or dense isekai protagonist. He's clever and resourceful, and his initial goal of simply returning to Japan felt grounded and relatable. The story dives right in, but the initial world-building feels a little lacking. I was immediately curious to see how Kanna would navigate this new world.
What Works Well
What I enjoyed most was Kanna's personality. He's not afraid to make tough choices and isn't held back by a naive sense of justice. The action scenes are exciting because Kanna isn't invincible; he has to rely on his wits and allies to survive. The relationships between Kanna and the supporting cast are also a highlight. The "harem" aspect is present, but the relationships develop organically, and the female characters have their own lives and motivations. I also appreciated the humor sprinkled throughout the story, which kept things lighthearted without detracting from the overall plot. Many readers have praised the author for the well-developed characters, and I agree.
Areas of Concern
While I enjoyed the story, I did notice some recurring issues. The main plot regarding Kanna's role in this world felt underdeveloped at times. I also found the author's writing difficult to understand in some places. The story also has a habit of using the misunderstanding trope to push the plot forward. I also feel like the romance aspect of the story can feel forced.

Final Verdict
Despite its flaws, "Kanna no Kanna" is a solid isekai novel that I would recommend to fans of the genre. The clever protagonist, engaging action, and well-developed relationships make it a worthwhile read. While the main plot and writing style could use some improvement, the overall experience is enjoyable. I'm giving it a 4 out of 5 stars, with the hope that the author will address some of the concerns raised by readers in future updates.
