Description
I was run over by a truck and died, so for some reason, I got to decide which race to reincarnate as via roulette. That’s how I chose…a virus!? Seen off by a beautiful, easygoing goddess, I was sent to another world. “As expected, a virus is too meaningless. There were dragons and the like among different races…” I was depressed, but I soon noticed the cheat ability. Free possession. Copy skills that you can get every time you are infected. An almost infinite stock of life. Weakening the enemy to self-modify. Having become an immortal virus, I decided to enjoy a new life in a different world.

My Thoughts on Virus Tensei kara Hajimaru Isekai Kansen Monogatari
First Impressions
When I first dove into Virus Tensei kara Hajimaru Isekai Kansen Monogatari, the initial premise definitely grabbed my attention. A salaryman reincarnated as a virus in another world? The potential for a unique take on the isekai genre seemed high. I was picturing a protagonist who would cleverly utilize their viral abilities in unconventional ways, perhaps even with a morally grey approach. I was ready for something different.
What Works Well
The core concept of a virus protagonist is undeniably interesting. The initial stages, where the MC experiments with his powers, infecting creatures and acquiring new skills, are genuinely fun. I appreciated the story's potential for exploring the implications of such an existence. The accelerated growth aspect, as the MC learns to adapt and thrive in his new environment, can be satisfying for readers who enjoy power progression. The relationship that develops between the MC and the first girl he meets offers a touch of heartwarming connection amidst the potentially darker themes.
Areas of Concern
Unfortunately, the novel seems to fall into familiar isekai tropes. The MC's initial promise of being a unique, morally ambiguous character fades as he adopts a more conventional, "good guy" persona. This shift disappointed me, as it felt like a missed opportunity to explore the darker aspects of being a virus in a fantasy world.
The story seems to suffer from a lack of deep world-building. The focus remains primarily on the MC's skill acquisition and interactions, leaving the surrounding world feeling underdeveloped. The plot also meanders, lacking a strong overarching narrative to drive the story forward. Some of the skill acquisitions also feel rather random, stretching the plausibility even within the isekai genre.

Final Verdict
Virus Tensei kara Hajimaru Isekai Kansen Monogatari has its moments. The initial concept is intriguing, and the power progression can be enjoyable. However, the story ultimately succumbs to generic isekai tropes, failing to fully capitalize on its unique premise. If you're looking for a light, easy read with familiar elements, this might scratch that itch. However, if you're seeking a truly innovative and thought-provoking isekai experience, you might be left wanting more.
