The Consequence of Being Summoned Simultaneously from Another World Novel Review

My Thoughts on The Consequence of Being Summoned Simultaneously from Another World

"The Consequence of Being Summoned Simultaneously from Another World" presents a truly unique spin on the isekai genre. The concept alone grabbed my attention: a protagonist split into three entities thanks to a magical mishap, with each fragment experiencing a different world while the original remains on Earth. It's a bold move, and for a while, it really works.

First Impressions

Initially, I was hooked by the originality. The idea of shared abilities across different realities is compelling. The main character, left behind on Earth, suddenly has access to powers derived from his alternate selves—one a hero in a fantasy world, another a survivor in a harsh environment. The early chapters are filled with lighthearted fun as he experiments with his newfound abilities.

What Works Well

The early romance is definitely a strong point. Unlike many shounen protagonists, this MC is upfront and proactive about his feelings for the female lead, which I found refreshing. There's a certain charm in seeing him navigate his school life with a dash of the supernatural and a clear focus on his romantic interest. The slice-of-life elements blend well with the overarching fantasy premise, creating a generally enjoyable experience. The sharing of abilities between the split selves leads to interesting and funny situations.

Areas of Concern

However, I can see where some readers might find issues. While the early focus on the Earth-bound MC and his romance is initially charming, it does come at the expense of developing the other two selves and their respective worlds. Some readers may be disappointed if they're expecting a grand adventure across multiple dimensions, as the focus tends to stay firmly rooted in the protagonist's school life.

There's also a risk that the MC's single-minded devotion to the female lead can come across as overly obsessive or even "nice guy" territory, which can be off-putting. It's a fine line, and the story doesn't always manage to stay on the right side of it.

Final Verdict

Overall, "The Consequence of Being Summoned Simultaneously from Another World" is a novel with a lot of potential. Its unique premise and early focus on romance and slice-of-life elements make it a refreshing change of pace in the isekai genre. However, the uneven focus on the different worlds and the potential for the MC's character to veer into problematic territory are definite areas of concern. If you're looking for a lighthearted, romantic comedy with a supernatural twist, this might be worth checking out. Just be aware that it might not fully deliver on the epic adventure front.
