slightly better than meh

The premise is surprisingly good. The MC's paranoia is a bit much, but I understand its importance as a plot device. The characters are flat. Character interaction is uninteresting. Overall: 3 stars

This Naruto light novel was a surprisingly fresh dive into the world of shinobi. One thing that definitely stood out (for better or worse) was the translation. There were quite a few noticeable errors, unfamiliar names. the occasional confusing line What really hooked me was how deep it went into Naruto lore The protagonist’s powers were super unique; this novel was a solid read. overall 4/5
