Game loving shut-in Kazuma Sato's life as a young schoolboy in Japan abruptly comes to an early end...or at least it was supposed to. When he opens his eyes, though, he sees a beautiful goddess that offers him a once in an after-lifetime chance to be reborn in a parallel world. The catch is that the world is violent and threatened by a growing evil! Fortunately, he can choose any one thing to bring with him. So he chooses the goddess, Aqua! And so his adventure with his gorgeous companion begins--if he could just get enough money and food to survive, keep his goddess out of trouble, and avoid grabbing the attention of the Demon King's army!Rating Regarding Books Oh!

There's a lot of fun to be had in this send-up of the overdone "sent to a fantasy world that operates like an RPG" genre. While there may be more laughs with the anime adaptation (simply because of voices, in most cases), the patent absurdity of the story, the characters, and pretty much everything about Darkness make this a breezy, fun read. Also, someone needs to make a "50 Shades of Darkness" parody.Well, this has been the most fun I've had with a relatively normal fantasy book. I laughed so much with it that that's why it got five stars. The story is nothing impressive, just a regular guy who got sent to another world to defeat an evil Demon Lord, but who has absolutely no skills to do it. His party of wizards, crusaders and all, are very dysfunctional, and the goddess is indeed useless, and that's really where all the fun comes from! The situations are just hilarious, and they never get
My useless goddess.
My first time reading an "isekai" story (unless Sword Art Online counts), and it turned out pretty well. Maybe the benefit was that Konosuba seems to be primarily a comedy series, but it wasn't so disgusting to follow a hikikomori victim of Truck-kun as reincarnated in a fantasy world with rules inspired by RPG elements. I'm too lazy to research what were the first proper isekai stories which followed .hack// and Sword Art Online's example of people getting trapped in pre-existing virtual worlds
Review to come... Funny as hell...
The first thing to remember is that this is a light novel, and thus, isn't as 'heavy' as normal novels. It also means that it takes liberty with certain things, like language, punctuation, etc. Read it for the story and don't expect anything like masterful writing.(cause where else do you get: "Say what?" x3 as dialogue?)Now, that said, I believe the version I read was a fan translated piece, so that could have had something to do with the way the material was handled in English. Though I will
