The Plot
Young Ivy’s life has been a relentless struggle from the moment she was reborn into an RPG-like world. Not only was she assigned the weakest class, but she found herself at the lowest rank possible as a no-star Tamer. Even her parents turned their backs on her, leaving Ivy to fend for herself in a harsh and unforgiving realm.
With determination, she learns to survive by foraging for sustenance and salvaging what she can from discarded items. However, Ivy’s fortunes take a surprising turn when she successfully tames Sora, a humble slime.
This seemingly feeble creature holds a special bond with Ivy, and as she cares for it, their unique connection begins to blossom, promising a brighter future for them both.
The Weakest Tamer Began a Journey to Pick Up Trash puts forward a unique take on the isekai genre, where the protagonist, Ivy, is reborn into a fantasy world but doesn’t rely heavily on her past life knowledge. While this departure from traditional isekai may raise questions, it ultimately serves the story well.
Ivy’s journey begins in a bleak and challenging environment, where her status as a no-star Tamer leads to her abandonment by her parents. Her determination and resourcefulness shine as she learns to survive, often scavenging discarded items for her sustenance.
The presence of Sora, a special slime she tames, brings a turning point in Ivy’s life, and their bond is heartwarming. Despite its intriguing isekai premise, the story evolves into a story of resilience and survival, with Ivy’s resourcefulness as the driving force.
The narrative is well-paced, with short, engaging chapters, and the character development is commendable. The book’s dark undertones provide depth to the plot, and the author’s writing style effectively differentiates character perspectives. So, we expect nothing short of a good watch from the upcoming anime adaptation.
