For a SOL this is pretty good. They pepper in action and drama which never amounts to nothing, but thats not the point of the story. This is a slice of life, about a kid who gets killed by a god then reborn by that very same god who happens to be number one. And in doing so he gains unbelievable power. For what it trys to be, it does pretty well. The anime was subpar, but thats a lot of anime adaptations. The books though, are a good light read thats simple to blow through over a month. And it'll be an enjoyable timeas long as you do not expect more then what the novels are trying to give you.
