The Reincarnation Of The Strongest Exorcist In Another World~ These Monsters Are Too Weak Compared To My Monsters~ Novel Review

My Thoughts on The Reincarnation Of The Strongest Exorcist In Another World~ These Monsters Are Too Weak Compared To My Monsters~

Okay, so I dove into "The Reincarnation Of The Strongest Exorcist In Another World~ These Monsters Are Too Weak Compared To My Monsters~" with a healthy dose of skepticism, given the, uh, modest overall rating. It's an isekai, so I knew what I was potentially getting into: OP protagonist, monster taming, and maybe some cute girls thrown in for good measure. Did it subvert my expectations? Not entirely, but it definitely had some interesting points.

First Impressions

My initial impression was pretty standard isekai fare. We've got our reincarnated exorcist, ridiculously strong, and plopped into a new world where he's basically a walking cheat code. The early chapters set up the premise well enough, introducing the yokai element and hinting at the protagonist's past life. I found myself intrigued by the potential for some unique world-building, but also a little wary of the "dense protagonist" tag that seemed to follow him around.

What Works Well

I think the strongest aspect of this novel is its action. The fight scenes are well-choreographed, and the protagonist's powers are genuinely impressive. The blend of magic and what seems to be some sort of pseudo-scientific logic is also a nice touch, making the power system feel a bit more grounded than in your average isekai. The story has some interesting arcs like the Hero Rescuing and Adventurer arc. Also, I found the story doesn't artificially extend itself and each volume is an adventure.

Areas of Concern

Okay, let's talk about the elephant in the room: the protagonist. While his power level is appealing, his personality can be a bit… frustrating. He's often portrayed as naive and detached, seemingly lacking a genuine connection to the world around him. Also, his character is inconsistent because he keeps saying that he's resolving himself to give up on laying low, but then does the exact opposite over and over again.

Final Verdict

"The Reincarnation Of The Strongest Exorcist In Another World~ These Monsters Are Too Weak Compared To My Monsters~" is a decent, if somewhat flawed, isekai novel. The action is solid, the world-building has potential, but the protagonist's characterization could use some work. It's a decent time-killer if you're looking for something light and action-packed, but don't expect a groundbreaking narrative. I'd say give it a try if you're a fan of the genre, but be prepared for some moments of frustration.
