Such a good manga, I absolutely loved reading it and can't wait for more in this series. In the world Ein was born into he was immediately declared useless. He is considered useless because the moment you are born the goddess of light and dark grant you a class and a skill and unfortunately Ein was born an Appraiser which is the considered the lowest of the low. But when his comrades abandon him to save themselves within the dungeon they're working in, Ein is greatly injured in but his life is saved when he finds a magical tree that saves his life and heals him. But when his simple act of kindness by thanking the tree moves the trees spirit Ein finds himself with new powers that might just bring him up in the world...

I received a copy of this manga through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
It was quite interesting. Yet another story about a computer gameish world where people are born into classes they can't escape, with skills and abilities they can gain over time but only according to their class. Our main hero has had the misfortune to have the lowest of classes - he's an appraiser and is bullied by anyone with a higher class.

Thank you NetGalley and Kodansha for allowing me to review this book.
This is a fantasy title that is not isekai!
Ein has the worthless "Appraiser" job. He is really pitiful to read about as you see how he is treated like garbage by others. He ends up being betrayed.
Somehow he lives and finds himself given new life by a spirit and trained by her guardian.
I really liked this book. There were dark moments and comedic moments and some of the characters were over the top. I appreciated the ott moments the guardian had with Ein. They were hilarious.
If you are looking for pure fantasy and dungeons this first book is for you.
Thanks again NetGalley and Kodansha.

Leans a bit to heavily on tropes and not one of the better examples of the genre.
arc provided on NetGalley in exchange for an honest review
his manga follows a boy who is in the appraiser class - in this world everyone is assigned a class when they are born and there’s no changing it. Appraisers are a low class and Ein is mistreated by those above him - but then when he’s left for dead he discovers something that might be able to make him more powerful.
This was a relatively enjoyable read and there were parts of it that were fun, but I wished that there has been a bit more character development for the character Yuri. It seemed like she was there just to like the main character and help him, though maybe that will change in future volumes. Also, at the very end there was a comment from the author about how he really liked her huge chest and that really struck me the wrong way. It was a fun enough read but I don’t know that I will continue in the series.

Adding my latest manga read to the list of novels with insanely long titles: Even Given the Worthless "Appraiser" Class, I'm Actually the Strongest Vol. 1. This quirky title and cover were enough to make me curious about the world – and the impossibly strong hero.
Ein was born into a world where everyone is divided into different classes and cannot be changed. He was born an appraiser, which is is one of the lowest rungs available. It is far below his dream of being a hero.
Yet it is because of his abilities, Ein finds himself in a unique opportunity to gain power. Well, his abilities and his compassion. These two traits have set him on a path for something more; the question is, what will he do with it?
Not only does this series seem to promise a humorous plot, but also a rags to hero sort of tale. So, naturally, I went into Even Given the Worthless "Appraiser" Class, I'm Actually the Strongest Vol. 1 with fairly high hopes.
Honestly, I almost feel like I should withhold commenting until I've read the second or possibly even third volume. It feels like most of Even Given the Worthless "Appraiser" Class, I'm Actually the Strongest Vol. 1 is focused on setting up the character, his story, and how he gained his power.
I can't honestly say how the story will move forward from here. I'd like to think that Ein will become the hero he dreamed of. I can't imagine he'll do any worse than the two he was following around. But power can do weird things to people, so who knows?
I will say that there is a significant leap in power for Ein's character. Since the volume spends almost the entire time setting this up, it isn't exactly a sudden change. But it is significant. I honestly would have expected this sort of increase to happen throughout many volumes, so again, I'm not sure where it will lead from here.
All things said and done; I would say that Even Given the Worthless "Appraiser" Class, I'm Actually the Strongest Vol. 1 was an interesting and entertaining read. It wasn't my favorite introduction to the series, but then again, some of my favorites took a while to grow on me.
