Good plot, but new chapters never come. 5 per year is too little to keep up the pace.

pacing from the get go is sureal and fast, no need to read between the lies and one can enjoy a classic isekai. Adding that the main character is an assassin adds even more to the swaaag of the character . it is a good read if you are a fan of isekai genre with op mc . All the characters so far are well written and the story is also good(so far). There is uncertainty in every corner and the author does a good work to keep the reader on its tiptoes while reading this.

Another cliched summoned story I've seen many times over, "we kidnap you for our own convenience and expect you to humor our selfish demands" kind of BS were not one person even complaining about having to risk their lives at another person's whim and simply obey what the "kidnappers" say, no questions asked which tends to have it's consecuences, it's an established crap setting, one that often foretells bad storytelling.
From the start, the narrative is just bad, like the MC saying he calls too much attention to be sneaking around so he goes to the armory to steal gear... really? that's ought to be the most heavily guarded place in the whole castle other than the king's place, needless to say, he just keeps using the gear in front of the people of the palace without a second thought. And the elf arc... it's so bad and that wrapping of the arc... just... unsatisfyingly cringy.
Also, the MC's supposed to be smart or at least cautious, but acts like an idiot/careless fool, too often, like divulging his skill lvl when he managed to successfully hide it in the first place or showing his presence to an enemy when it's clearly better to use his OP stealth skill which of course, has consequences. it just feels forced and there only to serve the narrative. Many things are like this, it giving the impression that the mangaka took the story from the novel, compressed it while leaving several important details aside so the pace could be faster.
So, imo. Story, it's quite generic, I can't remember the names but there are least 5 or 6 mangas with little discrepancy and it's not well presented (ej. "Konjiki no Moji Tsukai", not surprisingly most such stories ain't very good). Characters? it doesn't fare better in this department, MC, hero, and FL are all poorly presented and rather shallow. Pace? not good either, this is specially clear in the elf arc. The highest positive is the art, which is quite good and detailed, pity that alone isn't enough to carry a manga for me.

Story is better than most. Characters are relatable. Not even sure what others are picky about I personally enjoyed the short read. Don't trust the reviews complaining about the story it's really much better than they make it out to be. It's just short and from what it seems like took about as long as cheat skill to come out with chapters but that was for health reasons.... It seems like most people just want comedy and action. I'd say it's closest in story to like new gate with the pacing but even if he has op stats he isn't op for one because he doesn't have the experience.

Akira Oda is a high school student who has the special "skill" of not being noticed. He, along with his classmates, are summoned to a fantasy world of sword and sorcery where they are powerful heroes tasked with defeating a dark lord by a king. With his newfound skills as an assassin, Akira soon uncovers a plot by the kingdom's royal family, and is cast into a labyrinth to die. He swears vengeance on the king, and seeks more power to achieve his task.

This manga has a little bit difference premise from regular isekai manga's where main character and his class get summoned by a kingdom. The main character has good personality but he is too good hearted which always comes to bite him back in the ass later on. The art of this manga is good. The fight scenes are also protrayed nicely. The overall story is good but there are a little bit of plot holes here and there. The world building is the best in this world. Only read it if you can bear an overpowered but a little bit forgiving main character.
