Spoiler for over power:

-he didn't have talent for [True Magic] since he is actually a [Spirit Magic] and very talented at that, surpassing even the more than 3000 years-old-virgin-Elf-Girl who is one of his harem member and later become main chef and caretaker for childrens.

Spoiler for body training:

he didn't have talent for swordmanship. and since he is still a child, so he can't train his body too much. though later he found a veryveryvery strong trainer[weak only at full moon] who taught him, his swordmanship vastly improved[he actually more interested in testing his [Elemental Sword]

that's right it's from syosetu, though it's more focused on his daily life as

Spoiler for Ash daily life:

self proclaimed emperor[half virgin at latest chapter]

[Jirachier]

Sometimes I wonder why does every story on syosetu needs to start with reincarnation when most of the time the protagonist's previous life has nothing to do with the new one, the only thing he gets from it is being able think in a mature way while still being a toddler which could be done anyway with the excuse that he's a super genius without being a reincarnated person.

At the very least, I like Saynonara Ryuusie due to it's being a dragon instead of some NEET bastard. That theme got boring after reading so much of it >.>

[lemonedSM]

an escapist fantasy that so many NEET wants. that is why it's popular and prevalent.

but still, it's enjoyable as an entertainment.
considering the grimdark theme that is prevalent popular in western fantasy.

although, this kind of story could be better if there's no such OPness

[Jirachier]

I actually enjoy OP protagonists, but when it comes down to it, most of these reincarnations stories don't really have an OP protagonist, sure he usually can easily trash a lot of fodders, but when the time comes to fighting powerful enemies he will have a hard time or lose, so no most of them are not OP.
And the escapism doesn't work because like I said before, you make a reincarnated protagonist but never refer to his previous life in any significant way in the plot, that's just useless reincarnation.

To give you POV from our world, easier for us to empathize (aka self-inserting), and easier for the author to write (usually self-insert too).

Not every Syousetsu use this theme too, you just have to look harder.

Anyway, thanks cnine for introducing this series, would look at it. *fire off web leech*

[BigNobody]

Well....this certainly has my interest

[dandiehard]

currently reading this via google translate and must be going mad a i seem to be making sense of it

[techblade]

So many of these stories and so little translations. I really love this genre!!

[Xellos-_^]

just curious. how does Japanese fans feel about so many copycat works?

[lemonedSM]

having a same theme and genre doesn't mean it's copycat.
take example the sword of shannarra and fellowship of the ring.
it's like copy paste but with different name, setting, race and ending.

plus it seems this kind of genre is popular here right now, seeing as it is fresh.

anyway, if you like reincarnation theme, try the first fifteen lives of harry august.
it's an english novel that is completed and not a series, so you could devour it in one go (i know i did)
the basic premise is that the MC is reborn in a timeloop when he dies, but he can retain memories of his previous lives and events, including regrets, tragedy, and sorrow, not just happy things.

They seem to be liking it since if there's no demand then there would be no supply.

well, it's fantasy and the story about japanese in japan almost dried-up. so reincarnated to another world or to be short[Isekai] genre is mainstream now since it has more plot, fantasy, unknown technologies, unknown place, unknown world, different kind of races, more vulgar content[toned down by the publisher later]
