Not recommended

Definitely not my cup of tea, but I'd understand if other people liked it.

The main character is a guy from earth who wakes up in another world as a barbarian, super curious about the fantasy world he's been isekai'ed into. He was trapped in a desolate snowfield for years by some sort of unexplained system and quests (as of chapter 20) and thus grew incredibly overpowered before finally escaping.

This is pretty much where the story begins, and from here it heavily relies on super forced misunderstandings and miscommunication through a cast of bland, one-note characters.

Very light read, almost seems reminiscent of a shounen jump manga with how unimportant/insignificant the events are. Good for if you just want something to just mindlessly read and take your mind off of things I guess, just not for me.

This novel is one of my Favourites! It's written by the same author of "Ascension through Skills" (another novel I like) that has a manhwa by a slightly different name "Levelling up through Skills".

To sum the novel up its basically an Isekai story but nothing like the typical garbage you usually get- Ketal the MC exploring his long-awaited dream the Fantasy World after many long years trapped within the White Snowfield filled with abominable creatures that defy order and nature.

Ketal himself has a funny personality; when he encounters anything from the fantasy world he is overwhelmed with a childlike sense of wonder and curiosity towards it, to the point of obsession. He's pretty willing to do anything and derives entertainment from it, even the simple task of planting potatoes, stirring a cauldron for hours by hand or collecting herbs in a forest are interesting because to him these are the legendary tasks that mercenaries/adventurers did in the many fantasy novels and comics he read while on Earth.

He treats everything and everyone the same with a smile and goodwill, even towards demons that desire to destroy the world, those that attack him, show malice towards him or consider him "enemies" he treats the same as he would a friend or stranger because in his eyes, they are all miraculous creations of his dream the fantasy world he so desperately wished to be a part of for many uncountable years.

Though if something were to try to disturb Ketal and block his enjoyment of his long-awaited dream, or he encounters something that shouldn't ever belong to fantasy like certain abominable creatures from the nightmarish White Snowfield... that's when the smiling explorer of the fantasy world Ketal disappears, and the Ashen Barbarian of the White Snowfield Ketal comes out.

Its largely a humorous story of Ketal learning and exploring his dream the fantasy world with awe and curiosity while the other characters he meets react to him with bewilderment and fear because this Barbarian behaves completely different to what's typically expected of a Barbarian but also because he defies all logic they know, displaying feats even they find impossible.

Making this review based off only the first 22 chapters as that’s all that’s released right now

So far it seems this story is just a light and fun read as our MC is so OP that he makes everything humorous and fun. The MC’s goal isn’t even to fight or get stronger, he just wants to experience the world as he loved the fantasy genre before being isekaied into this world. Although the MC has a System, we don’t actually see besides the one time when he leaves the snow fields, in fact the MC hasn’t opened his status window or anything, this makes the System seem almost nonexistent in the story which I’m fine with. I think this story will continue just being a lighthearted read with occasional moments of seriousness scattered throughout the story, so if you like that sort of thing, I recommend this story for you
