Isekai Surgeon

Afflictions that can’t be cured with healing magic are called “curses,” and a healer’s healing magic is helpless against them. In this world, where healing magic is very developed, medicine, on the other hand, was not. And pharmaceutics are regarded as part of folk remedies. Therefore, those who are under “curses” can only get well by themselves. And if the “curse” is strong, no one can do anything about it. Shuji, an S rank healer, was said to be the best among the adventurers in the Western City Levantein. He suddenly decided to retire as an adventurer and emigrate to Yggdrasil on the other side of the continent. Shuji, when he was in Yggdrasil, met an adventurer who was afflicted by a “curse.” 「That is not a curse…」Shuji told Lennah, a mage who accompanied him. 「…It’s acute appendicitis. I can treat it with surgery.」 Shuji’s real name is Miyagi Shuji, a surgeon in Japan, and he came here to build a hospital in the town of Yggdrasil to perform surgeries with magic. This story is about Shuji, a former S rank healer, who uses his previous life knowledge to build a hospital in the town of Yggdrasil to carry out various treatments.

## My Thoughts on Isekai Surgeon Alright, let's dive into "Isekai Surgeon." This one definitely caught my eye with its unique premise: a surgeon transported to another world. It's not your typical power fantasy isekai, and honestly, that's refreshing. ### First Impressions My initial impression was definitely intrigued. The idea of a modern surgeon applying his knowledge in a world of magic and limited medical technology is compelling. I was a bit hesitant, wondering if the medical details would be overwhelming or if the fantasy elements would feel tacked on. But I was willing to give it a shot. ### What Works Well What really stands out is the accuracy and detail of the medical procedures. As someone who enjoys a good dose of realism in my fantasy, I appreciated the author's commitment to portraying the challenges and triumphs of surgery. The protagonist isn't just magically healing people; he's applying his expertise in a new and challenging environment. The story seems to focus more on the MC trying to be a surgeon in the isekai world rather than focusing on the isekai world itself. I also appreciated the humor sprinkled throughout, like the MC's reaction to his companion's desire for a bath when magic could clean them. It's these little moments that make the characters feel relatable. ### Areas of Concern I can see how some readers might find the detailed descriptions of surgical procedures off-putting. It's not for the faint of heart, and if you're squeamish, this might not be the novel for you. Also, if you're looking for a fast-paced, action-packed isekai, this isn't it. The focus is more on the medical challenges and the protagonist's adaptation to his new reality. ### Final Verdict Overall, I'm giving "Isekai Surgeon" a solid recommendation. It's a unique and well-executed take on the isekai genre that offers something different from the typical fare. If you're interested in a story that blends fantasy with realistic medical details, and you don't mind a slower pace, then I think you'll enjoy this one. Just be prepared for some potentially graphic descriptions!
