| I'm so tough, look at my unnecesary eyepatch. |
PR: Some dude is teleported into another world without any apparent reason except that he's a high school student, along with the rest of his class and his homerun teacher. As the title indicates, he gets a terrible "class job" that's apparently useless or at least very common, which leads his other classmates to bully him more than they did before.
As it turns out, they're all jealous of him because the class beauty has a crush on him for some unexplained reason, maybe because he's the protagonist.

| Looks plain to me. Literally, all the other female characters of relevance are better |
Some other characters that are either evil or very stupid and quite bad at disguising it in any case, such as the pope and the hero Kouki "Cookie" Amanogawa that later on proves to be both stupid AND comically evil.

| I know that somethimes you gotta dough what you gotta dough, but it looks like you got some chips on your shoulder. Don't crumble under the pressure, my man. |
I mean... For the guy to side with a backstabbing murderer, he isn't the smartest cookie in the jar.
But I'm getting ahead of myself- how it stands the MC, Hajime, will never become the strongest in the world, so the author makes one of his other classmates cowardly throw him into a fathomless abyss amidst a fight, and while everyone suspects someone rigged the fall no one does a thing.
After miraculously surviving thanks to some pond (minecraft mechanics right there) Hajime gets his ass kicked by a bunny on Coke, then by some three-tailed wolves that are somehow weaker than the bunny, and a polar bear cuts off his arm.
Since these monsters don't look very threatening the author masterfully manages to mark the point on how strong they are by dying them in white. White means strong.
That's why after eating monster meat and thanks to the magic healing potion that fell out of the sky, and going through some rough transition, Hajime crawls out of the hiding hole with white hair, ready to kill and eat everyone that stands in his way. Yes, now that his soul has been broken and reforged in the depths of hell, the Hajime that defended some random hag from some random punks by crying and begging like a baby until the guys left out of cringe has died, and a new Hajime, mean, nasty and tired that eats concertina wire and piss napalm is born, ruthless, remorseless, merciless... until he finds the damsel in distress jammed into a stone, of course. Then he's normal again.

| If you think that having the vampire falls for MC just because he rescue her is a stretch, prepare for when every single female character do the same. |
He fights some other cliché monsters and gets laid several times with the girl, he makes a couple of references to popular culture and shows us how overpowered he's become.
He shows us the many weapons he crafted with his allegedly useless skill (that now's overpowered), including two revolvers, rifles, and rocket launchers. I love how this teenager that had no prior knowledge about guns is trying to fool us into thinking that he can craft a revolver out of a lump of metal. Have you ever seen how many pieces a gun has? The mechanism that activates each part? "This is, uhh... An anti-tank rifle railgun enhanced edition" No it's not! It's a gun-shaped pipe! It's a metal cylinder you shoved some magic gunpowder in and a piece of bullet-shaped metal, medieval style. It's not even a musket! Anyway. He now sets sail to clear every dungeon, kill the gods and bully his former classmates.

I think that the book could use a better author. The idea behind it isn't bad, although a little overused, the way things happen simply shows that Ryo Shirakome has a very poor grip on using resources as levels, skills, multiple POVs, mirror characters, and the gravest of them all suspense. Ryo attempts to use suspense only to fail miserably. We know everything he attempts to hide and the rest feels made up on the fly. It could get better, I guess, but as it is I'm being condescending by giving it a 3/10
