The Ordinary Me is Worshipped as a Deity by the Extraordinary Them

Su Li, an ordinary person who lived for 30 years, surviving on social welfare as a laid-back slacker. Occasional pointless complaining and self-defeating philosophical platitudes didn’t bring any meaning to his 30 years. Until he was transported to another world… Su Li, who had no elemental talent, Su Li, who was labeled as useless, lived an unremarkable life. One day, Su Li picked up a person in distress and told them: “The reason you think light is important is only because darkness pervades the world. When light fills the world, darkness will become important.” The Son of Light Saint who was betrayed by the Bishop of Light — He’s right! He is the sage who guides people forward, the signpost standing before the people, my faith, my everything! He is not a god, yet he far transcends gods. Su Li saved an injured mute bird. As birds sang outside the window, he told the bird: “The reason people like things that make beautiful sounds is only because they happen to understand that sound. Because of ignorance, there is no sin.” The Level 9 demon beast Raven, severely injured by the Mercenary Association: — All people are ignorant and foolish, thinking that ravens represent evil, even labeling me as a natural disaster. I hate humans the most, but he is the exception. If the world is what he wants, I too will aspire towards it. Su Li told his young friend who wanted to go to the big city to strive for success: “Moving upward is human instinct. If one day you fall due to reality, please don’t hate yourself.” The friend who eventually amassed enough gold coins to fill a city: I once thought that a child from a remote countryside would never understand everything I pursued. However, heaven blessed me, allowing me to witness true great wisdom…

## My Thoughts on The Ordinary Me is Worshipped as a Deity by the Extraordinary Them Okay, so I just finished "The Ordinary Me is Worshipped as a Deity by the Extraordinary Them," and I have to say, it was quite a ride! The premise alone – a seemingly average kid being mistaken for some all-powerful being – had me hooked from the start. It's a completed original novel, and I dove right into the translation to see what all the fuss was about. ### First Impressions My initial reaction was definitely positive. The story throws you right into a fantasy world with a child protagonist, and the whole "appearance different from actual age" trope is in full swing. I immediately got a sense of the humor and the potential for some great misunderstandings. The tags like "dragons," "elemental magic," and "hunters" all pointed to a rich and engaging world, and I wasn't disappointed. ### What Works Well The core of this story is the comical misunderstanding, and it's executed brilliantly. The MC isn't some hidden powerhouse; he's genuinely ordinary. However, his words and actions are interpreted as profound wisdom, leading to hilarious and often beneficial consequences for those around him. It's this contrast between his ordinariness and the extraordinary effects he has on others that makes the story so entertaining. The "loyal subordinates" dynamic adds another layer of fun, as these devoted followers constantly misinterpret his intentions and actions. ### Areas of Concern At times, I felt the pacing could be a little tighter. There were moments where I wished for more dialogue and less internal monologue or descriptive text. While the world-building is solid, I think focusing more on character interactions could have elevated the story even further. I also found myself wanting some sort of epilogue to wrap things up more definitively. ### Final Verdict Overall, "The Ordinary Me is Worshipped as a Deity by the Extraordinary Them" is a fun and engaging read. If you're a fan of comical misunderstandings, fantasy settings, and stories where an ordinary protagonist has an outsized impact on the world, then I highly recommend giving this one a try. Despite some minor pacing issues, the core concept is well-executed, and the humor is consistently on point. I'd say it's a solid 3.5 out of 5 stars.
