As far as isekai light novels go, "Abilaverage" (the author's abbreviated title) has more unique traits than most. The main character is a girl, ...well, one is more than none, right? I'm kidding. A lot of people seem to bash the isekai genre for its paucity of originality, but I don't really care about that; all that matters is that it's entertaining. Besides the all-girl main cast, though, there are a few characteristics I noticed in this one that make it a bit different from others. For one, the only thing driving the plot is the girl's desire to be average. There's no demon lordor enemy forces to defeat, no half-elf to crown queen, no nation to rule, and she doesn't have any desire to return to earth. Some people might think that you can't have a plot without a goal, but let's be real here. How many of the events in re:zero have anything to do with the royal selection? Are the cast of konosuba even trying to defeat the demon lord? In Abilaverage, FUNA wrote a fun and entertaining story without needing to use any kind of end-game pretext to justify its existence. In my opinion, that's kinda impressive, actually.

Another quirky detail in this one is that it's technically more science-fiction than fantasy. The magic in this world has a pseudoscience explanation that actually has some pretty significant consequences. Adele/Mile doesn't just have some crazy high "affinity" for magic. I mean, her ability alone is definitely pretty strong, but her incredible power comes mostly from exclusive knowledge of the real reason why things work, while everyone else in the world is operating based on false assumptions. This means that the most important thing elevating her above everyone else is just her ability to keep a secret; if her knowledge gets out, everyone else would suddenly become pretty OP too. It really does make things more interesting.

While the story has some good things going for it, the greatest weaknesses I found were in the writing. The pacing is even worse than Shield Hero, and although I can't explain exactly why, the language just seems a bit amateurish. What really stood out was the dialogue. If you were to take r/thatHappened and condense it into a character, you'd get Adele/Mile. Some of the events, which actually include everyone standing up and clapping, are just so ludicrously contrived that the only proper response to reading them is an incredulous guffaw. I mean, it is a work of fiction, and the whole thing is unavoidably unrealistic by definition, but come on.

All in all, though, it's a very fun and lighthearted read, and if you're an isekai junkie like me then you definitely should give it a try. Mile/Adele really is a pretty entertaining main character. Just be ready for what happens whenever a guy says something she doesn't like.
