The Saint's Magic Power is Omnipotent (Light Novel) Vol. 1
November 24, 2020
Could workaholic office lady Sei be a legendary Saint? Not according to the crown prince of another world who summoned her and quickly declared a different girl was the real Saint! That suits Sei just fine--she would much rather spend her days quietly helping people with her unbelievably powerful magic. …

A cute light entry into the isekai genre, this novel has an office worker, Sei, swept into another world as a Saint, along with another teen (both from Japan, incidentally), Aira. However, since only one was supposed to be summoned by the arcane ritual, and the Crown Prince in charge of the summoning takes the teen as the Saint since …
\[1/8/2024 - Veronica Taylor's narration was fine, but audio isn't the best way to go for this series unless you have no other choice. Hearing it all seemed to make the issues with the story stand out more, and I almost decided to give up halfway through.\] Sei comes home after another extremely long day at work, only to find …
Headline: It's okay; the anime is better. So, I like the anime adaptation of this and thought I'd give the books a go. For an isekai fantasy, they don't tend to focus on combat, and I wanted something like that to read. There will be spoilers for both the anime and the book below, but nothing you won't encounter in …
3.5, rounded down for not-hugely-brilliant writing. The story far outpaces the author's skill, though - it's a fun take on the wish-fulfillment OP isekai that feels like the halfway point between _The Extraordinary, the Ordinary, and Soap_ and _The White Cat Plots Revenge from the Dragon King's Lap_. Sei is one of two people isekai'd away to a fantasy kingdom …
Loved it so much! Two more to go. Do I pace myself or read them all back to back? Who am I kidding, back to back!! 5, I am gonna need more than just two after this one, stars! This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers. Show full review
_\*This review is for the **anime** adaptation\*_ The premise is pretty common wherein a land with magic is infested with miasma which cultivates monsters and they needed to summon a "saint" from a different world (Japan) to deal with it. The world-building is similar to a _virtual reality game_ where there are potions, elemental and holy magic and that they …
Having finished the manga I got for Christmas, I'm now reading the light novels. It looks like each light novel covers two manga, so this volume was a review for me. Not a lot of extra material, but enough that it stayed interesting, and I enjoy being immersed in this world. The light novel is more like a video game …
This one felt like sugar being poured into my veins, seeing the main character flustered by the bevy of cute boys and constantly receiving positive attention from people around her for her work. The plot itself is a bit thin as a result, but there's enough intrigue brewing in the background to have kept me invested in its fantasy world. …
Wish-fulfillment fantasy with a Mary Sue heroine. She is likable though and the book is a relaxing read.
I did watch the anime that was adapted by this series and it led me to buying all of the novels and wanting to read them. I finally got to reading it and we do see a lot of new things that aren’t included in the anime! I really enjoyed this novel and the illustrations were great to look at. …
1\. accidentally (?) left. linda crítica ao capitalismo com reflexões (não muito densas) de uma trabalhadora exausta que deixa essa vida pra ser uma maga num mundo de rpg. como vou dar nota baixa pra isso? simples! não vou 2\. harém inverso. romance fofo e bobinho. 3\. protagonista femcel, meio tapada, sem experiência com intimidade. tudo feito minuciosamente pra mim …
RATING: 3 stars Cute slice of life in a fantasy/isekai setting with a bit of a reverse harem thrown in. Nothing remarkable.
Said this on the first volume of the manga (which covers up to, roughly Act 5) but gimme all the Compotent Ladies. Interestingly Sei's last name in the light novel translation (translator: Julie Goniwich) is Takanashi, while in the manga (translator: Kumar Sivasubramanian) its Nakanashi. I don't have a copy of the original JP novel or manga, so I can't …
Workaholic Sei doesn't know why she's been whisked off into a land of magic, and considering everyone poured their attention into the younger, terrified girl beside her, it looks like nobody else knows why, either. For the meantime, she's found herself a job and a place to stay. What else could go wrong now? I know no one in Salutania …
The book is more or less what I expected, a short entertaining light hearted story. A young office lady is summoned together with a second much younger girl. Ignored, she is angry at first, but soon realizes it is fine since it allows her to live a relatively normal life. Her magic is quite powerful though and her naivety on …
Since I’m trying to support all the JNC releases, I decided to spontaneously read the first volume of their debut title, \*The Saint's Magic Power is Omnipotent\*. From what I’ve gathered after finishing the first volume, it seems like a pretty formulaic isekai with a few unique twists. For one, the main character, Sei, isn’t reincarnated into the world but …
Mini-Review: A "summoned to another world" isekai story with a female MC who doesn’t want to do any of that saving the world stuff. She kind of just wants to chill and learn about potion making and help people out with all the fanfare of noisy traditional heroism. Lighthearted with an easy to like protagonist. Maybe counts as a less …
**A very enjoyable light novel** I like the characters, I like the setting, and the main character is very interesting too. If you like The Good, The Bad, and Soap, you will like this story too. I will definitely be getting the next book.
This book was lent to me by a friend! I’ve never read a light novel like this before, but I really enjoyed it. Looking forward to the next book!
A cute, sweet coming of age story where a haggard Japanese OL transforms into the Saint of lore after being abducted from her home. Unlike the anime, the novel is written as a litRPG journal told from the first person and complete with game stats. I preferred the anime’s game-less interpretation, but the subject of stats is vital to how …
Me pareció una historia bastante entretenida. Parece el típico isekai, donde alguien es invocado a un nuevo mundo con la misión de salvarlo de la desgracia de turno que les acontece pero en este caso es como que todo ocurre diferente. Sei, nuestra protagonista, es invocada al reino de Slantania por medio de la ceremonia de invocación de la Santa, …
I tried reading this as I love the anime so much I’ve seen it more than several times. I watched season 1 and felt like I needed more but then season 2 came out and I just couldn’t hold back any longer 🤣🤣 So I bit the bullet and bought the first book. Now I have the other 5 being …
Can't review this book. I'm sure it's a great book for an 11 year old girl. I'm not representative of that demographic. Suffice to say, if you don't like the following, don't read. \-> every man being described as unfairly beautiful and the slightest bit of attention being described as a (usually successful) mental attack trying to force the MC …
4 stars A fun light read. I like that Sei just wants to live a normal life with her powers, especially after coming from a life where her job was her life. I hear ya, girl. I’d def wanna chill life after dying for a job that uses. I’m rooting for her and Arthur. Their interactions are adorable, especially with …
The interesting part of this isekai novel is that not one but TWO people were summoned to another world to help save it from monsters and such. Which leads to some confusion as to whether both are the saint or one is the saint. Sei, the main character, learns to adjust to her new life and decides to take things …
