My Thoughts on [Storage Unrivaled]~ I Was Reincarnated As A Villainous Fat Mob Character And Defeated By The Hero In The Tutorial, But I Unleashed Unparalleled Power With The Potential Of My Original Body And Gaming Knowledge~

This title is certainly a mouthful, isn't it? But beyond the lengthy name, the premise of Storage Unrivaled immediately grabbed my attention: a reincarnation into a villainous, initially weak character in a game world, armed with meta-knowledge and a hidden potential. It sounds like a recipe for some entertaining wish-fulfillment!

First Impressions

The initial chapters were promising. I enjoyed the MC's resourcefulness and how he started leveraging his gaming knowledge to overcome his initial disadvantages. The "fat to fit" trope is a bit cliché, but I was willing to see where it went, especially with the added layer of strategic alchemy and dungeon exploration. I was hoping for a fun, power-fantasy romp.

What Works Well

The core concept remains engaging. The idea of a villainous character turning the tables and using his "mob" status to his advantage is inherently appealing. The early romance seems to be a hit with those who enjoy it; I'm always a sucker for a well-developed relationship. The potential for strategic gameplay, alchemy, and dungeon diving is definitely there, and when the story focuses on these elements, it shines.

Areas of Concern

Unfortunately, my enjoyment was hampered by some significant issues. The most glaring problem seems to be the translation quality, or perhaps even the source material's pacing. I felt like I was missing chunks of the story, especially around the Alice sub-arc. Character development appears rushed, and key events seem to happen off-screen, leaving me scratching my head. One moment the MC is solo, and the next he's in a party with characters who haven't been properly introduced or whose motivations are unclear. This makes it difficult to connect with the characters and invest in their journey. The skipped content actively hurts the overall experience.

Final Verdict

Storage Unrivaled has a compelling premise and the potential to be a fun, engaging read. However, the current state of the translation and the apparent skipping of key plot points significantly detract from the overall experience. If these issues are addressed, this could easily become a much more enjoyable story. As it stands, proceed with caution.
