Description
He’s the only one who hasn’t realized he’s the strongest. During a school trip, he was reincarnated. While his classmates were reborn as nobles or knights, Takuto Kasuya, the mob character, started his new life as a homeless orphan. The gift he was granted as a reincarnator was the lowest-ranked G-grade gift. With no protection or privilege as a reincarnator, he was forced to start his life over from scratch as someone who has nothing. But this man realizes something. —An unfortunate environment, a life at the bottom of the caste system… Wait, doesn’t this sound like the setup for a villain? Not magic, but Kasuya’s own unique power. He hones his curses and earns money, aiming to play the mastermind villain role! However, one day Kasuya realizes something. All the events happening around him… are they the same as in the god-tier game Life Field? Wait a second… are there others trying to play the mastermind villain role too!? Unforgivable! The true mastermind villain is going to be me! To achieve that, he trains his gift, strengthens his curses, completes his spells, and collects his perks— Without even realizing it, Kasuya became the most powerful being, rampaging through the other world with misunderstandings, momentum, and sheer enthusiasm. He has fun interacting with his classmates who still retain their memories of their previous lives, while hiding his true identity. He starts spreading wild ideas to some overly delusional high-ranking beautiful girls, and before he knows it, he’s worshiped as the King of Curses. Before he realizes it, he also ends up becoming the leader of a shadowy organization that lurks in the world’s darkness, created by a group of high-spec beautiful girls. He finds himself being hunted for his life and virtue by powerful, intense beauties from high-ranking races. And in the end, he’s going to have to kill a god. All of this, for the sake of shedding his mob character status! To enjoy playing the mastermind villain role! This is the story of an idiot who, while swallowing up every troublesome event, continues to be misunderstood by those around him, as he gathers spells and strives to become the strongest.

My Thoughts on The Ordinary Sorcerer: While I Was Playing Around and Unknowingly Growing My T*ash Gift [Spell Creation] Using the Skill Tree, I Became the Strongest in the World—In Another World, I Hide My Identity and Play the Mastermind Villain Role, But Now All the Most Powerful S-Rank Beauties Are After My Life? …That Sounds Like a Villain, Perfect!
Okay, let's be real, that title is quite the mouthful. Going into "The Ordinary Sorcerer," I was prepared for a wild ride, and it seems that's exactly what I got. The premise is classic isekai with a twist – a protagonist deemed to have a "trash" skill who ends up being incredibly overpowered. It's a trope I've seen done well, and... well, not so well.
First Impressions
My initial reaction was a mix of intrigue and skepticism. The idea of a "trash" skill like Spell Creation being underestimated is inherently interesting. I immediately started brainstorming the possibilities! The opening chapters, however, seem to throw a lot at the reader very quickly, establishing the protagonist's backstory, his "ordinary" life, and his sudden transportation to another world, and that's where the issues started to pile on.
What Works Well
The core concept of someone with a seemingly useless skill actually being the strongest is compelling. The Skill Tree system also adds a layer of depth that could be explored in interesting ways. I will admit I have a soft spot for anti-hero protagonists, and the idea of a "mastermind villain" is appealing. The promise of romance, especially with "S-Rank Beauties," could add a fun dynamic to the story, if executed well.
Areas of Concern
The execution appears to be where the novel falls short, and this is the main criticism I've seen. The start seems incredibly generic, hitting all the familiar isekai beats without adding anything particularly fresh or engaging. The protagonist's motivations and actions, especially early on, are questionable and feel self-inflicted. The "misunderstood genius" trope can be grating if not handled with nuance, and there's a risk of the story devolving into a power fantasy with little substance. I am concerned that the plot might just become a vehicle for wish fulfillment rather than a genuinely compelling narrative.

Final Verdict
"The Ordinary Sorcerer" has potential, but it seems to stumble in its execution. The core concept is intriguing, but the generic start and questionable character motivations raise concerns. It's a novel that might appeal to those who enjoy classic isekai tropes, but I'd recommend approaching it with cautious optimism. For me, it's a 2.5/5.
