I read the manga and enjoyed it so I transferred over to the novel. I tend to stray away from overpowered isekai series but I feel like this series does that type of story right. This story for me captures what isekai is supposed to be: living life in another world with knowledge of your original world.

What I like about this series is everything is laid out from chapter 1 so you know exactly what type of story you are going to be reading:

pros:

-Each part of the bear suit is described so you can understand how op they are from the start. unlike other series where the mc will randomly get some power up.

-the mc was rich in japan and all of her money was transferred over so you don't have to deal with the mc constantly comparing isekai currency to yen because money is irrelevant. you can guess what would be considered expensive vs cheap.

-the protagonist was described as someone who basically had to take care of herself so her knowing all sorts of recipes and random food knowledge makes more sense than other isekai where an mc will make mayonnaise because they vaguely remember a commercial they saw while brushing their teeth.

-The mc already had to overcome hardship in her original world as described by her relationship with her parents, school, etc. so there is no need to have trials to develop the mc's character.

-the mc is self sufficient and doesn't really have a need for friends so there is no need to force a party element into the story, unlike other series where the mc will be given a harem despite being op because harem.

-the mc didn't interact with people much but doesn't feel the constantly remind us of her lack of friends or social experience unlike some series where the mc will keep discussing the curves of female characters and talk about how nervous they are to be with a person of the opposite gender.

-so far there is no sign of romance being forced if there are plans of romance.

-the character being op actually makes sense and the mc actually utilizes strategy to fight rather than just relying on her over powered ability [spoiler] for example she 100 goblins and instead of blowing up the surrounding area to beat them she launches a fireball into the cave to burn up the oxygen and suffocate them since she sealed the exit[/spoiler]


cons:

-this series is more on the slice of life side so if you are expecting deep philosophy and themes like in Attack on Titan for example this is not the series for you. this is a series where you can let your brain relax and just enjoy the story without having to think to deeply about anything.

-most of the story is us seeing the world through Yuna's eyes so other characters aren't really discussed in terms of their thoughts. but most of their thoughts are visible in their dialogue and interactions with Yuna.

-there is a lot of food talk in this series not necessarily like in food wars but more like  a scene in Naruto where the ninjas go to that barbeque place or to get ramen. Yuna knowing how to make such foods makes sense so it doesn't detract from the story.

-There are a few scenes where yuna builds things so any professional architects might have critiques but not me.

overall I think this is a great series it'll get boring for you if you go into it with the expectation of it being the novel version of  one piece rather than a nice slice of life isekai without the generic I'm op but everyone thinks i'm trash plotline.

Yuna, a 15-year-old girl, started playing the world's first VRMMO. She has earned billions of yen in stocks, and confines herself in her house playing the game without going to school. Today, a major update has arrived and she obtained a non-transferable rare bear outfit. But the equipment is so embarrassing that she can't wear it even in the game. Furthermore, when she answers the survey regarding the new update and relaunches the game, she appears in and unknown forest in the bear outfit. Where is this? Email from God? A different world? If she wears the bear outfit she's a cheat, if she takes it off she's a normal girl. Her adventure starts just like that. Yuna began doing whatever she wanted.
