Title:  In Another World With My Smartphone Vol. 3
Series:  In Another World With My Smartphone – 3rd volume

Comments:  Touya’s perfect life just keeps on getting more perfect, and while that may be annoying at times, in the end, it’s more positive than negative.  You might expect the series to do nothing about Touya’s relationships with the heroines, allowing to be constantly teased without advancing it at all.  Well, you’ll be pleasantly surprised when you find out that this is not the case and volume 3 solidified their positions.  It’s interesting and refreshing for once to have the protagonist sort out his romance with multiple love interests during the middle of a series.  The side effect is that most of the volume is spent on covering Touya’s interactions with each of the heroines, and while this may be sweet, on the other hand you want to something extraordinary to happen.  There’s no real road for the plot to follow since it just goes wherever it wants to.  It does lend to a few interesting scenarios but as per always, Touya’s extreme overpowered nature makes all his problems trivial.  He really is a wish fulfillment character that you can’t help but be jealous of.  There’s a tiny bit of obvious foreshadowing but other than that, Touya increases his power, his status and his party and there’s nothing wrong with this.
