I’ve Became Able to Do Anything with My Growth Cheat, but I Can’t Seem to Get out of Being Jobless

I, Ichinosuke, failed to get a job for 100 consecutive times. Furthermore, my record is still being updated as unemployed. On my way to a job interview, I was involved in an accident with a truck and tragically passed away. And then, a Goddess bestowed upon me the ability to grow at a speed 400 times faster than normal, before sending me to a game-like otherworld. However, knowing that I would not become stronger even if I continued growing while jobless, I aimed to get a job, but I found out that it was my terrible fate to remain jobless. As my Growth Cheat and Jobless Cheat existed side-by-side in this otherworld, an adventure record, no doubt certified by the job-placement agency as a harmful book, begins here.

## My Thoughts on I’ve Became Able to Do Anything with My Growth Cheat, but I Can’t Seem to Get out of Being Jobless Alright, let's dive into "I’ve Became Able to Do Anything with My Growth Cheat, but I Can’t Seem to Get out of Being Jobless"—quite the mouthful, I know! This isekai story definitely has a unique hook, and after reading what others have to say, I've got a pretty good feel for it. It seems to be a bit of a mixed bag, but with some definite strengths. ### First Impressions The initial premise is intriguing: a down-on-his-luck guy gets transported to a fantasy world with cheat-like growth abilities but remains "jobless." Many found this misleading as it is a class of its own. It's a fun twist on the typical overpowered protagonist setup, and the early volumes seem to have resonated well with readers. The slice-of-life elements combined with adventure and comedy were definitely appealing. ### What Works Well I noticed several reviewers mentioned the lighthearted tone and the easy-to-read nature of the story. The translation quality seems to be consistently praised, which is always a huge plus. The side characters, particularly the comedic duo and Centaur, appear to be memorable and add a lot to the overall enjoyment. The world-building, while not groundbreaking, is solid enough to keep things interesting, and the slow reveal of lore and the interconnectedness of different character groups are definite strengths. Some even found the MC's relaxed personality refreshing, a departure from the usual hyper-driven protagonists. ### Areas of Concern However, it’s not all sunshine and rainbows. A recurring criticism is the perceived decline in the MC's intelligence and decision-making as the story progresses. Some felt he becomes increasingly gullible and beta, which detracts from the overall experience. The plot has been described as generic, and the action scenes as lacking tension. The author's penchant for "trolling" the readers with repetitive near-misses with the sister character also seems to have frustrated many. Some also felt the story became repetitive, with too many separation arcs. ### ⚠️ Spoiler Warning Okay, heads up! Some reviews discuss significant plot points, including the introduction and subsequent kidnapping of the MC's sister, Miri, and the overall ending of the story. Be cautious if you want to avoid spoilers! ### Final Verdict Overall, "I’ve Became Able to Do Anything with My Growth Cheat, but I Can’t Seem to Get out of Being Jobless" seems like a decent, if not exceptional, isekai novel. If you're looking for a lighthearted read with fun characters and don't mind some generic tropes and a potentially frustrating protagonist, this might be worth checking out. However, be prepared for a possible dip in quality as the story progresses, and don't expect a groundbreaking plot or complex character development. I'd say proceed with cautious optimism!
