Cardrapt, a card game that blends digital and analog components, has become the world’s top card game over the past 25 years due to the unprecedented success of its novels, animations, and other media.
“Yamashiro Tenma,” the assistant store manager of a card shop and also a certified judge.
On the way home with a large number of pre-constructed decks for sale and his own tournament deck due to a store renovation, Yamashiro Tenma suddenly realized that he had been transported to a medieval world.
A world where Cardrapt cards are embodied and utilized in military, political, and commercial situations, and where their value as assets is guaranteed.
Tenma realizes that only cards up to Season 6 exist in this world.
And most of the methods for summoning cards with special summoning conditions have been lost.
This is the story of Tenma, who has more than 40 Season 11 decks while everyone around him is using cards from Season 6 and earlier.
It is a story of a man desperately living to secure his safety and position in another world by selling his cards and information to various forces and people.

This novel defies suspension of disbelief. Let me describe the setup for you and if both the setting and the fact that the protagonist is "typical JP protagonist" are fine with you, you shouldn't have a problem reading it:
Isekai where the card game the protagonist happens to have encyclopedic knowledge is held in high regard, to the point where wars are fought through proxy duels with said card game. The protagonist is treated as a monster or as dangerous because he has special cards and knowledge of the game, but... any of the soldiers could easily kill him or rob him and he'd be unable to stop them.
Also, people who can play the game aren't rare at all, it's just a matter of how good a deck they can get their hands on.
The world's premise would work if the cards could impact reality in any way, or if it was treated like a sport, but it's treated like war potential and that just doesn't work...

This... is another wish-fulfillment novel...I can't believe I got to read this type of novels twice on the same week. What a waste of time.
At first, I was hoping that our protagonist will be a little arrogant, selfish, or wary around his new surroundings since he is a functional member of society. But, you know that this is japanese web novel right?
Spoiler
He was literally played like a damn fiddle by people from another world. I thought that since he was working on retail store card, he must be experienced on negotiation or dealing with some people, so that he can gain advantage over his situation to survive in new environment. At the start of chapter 8, people around him are already planning to 'trick' him so that he can't return to Japan. He immediately lets his guard down when people from the kingdom treat him nicely, even though he himself said that he must be careful on another world. What an idiot.
Spoiler
Again, at the start of chapter 9, when he visited by little sister of an aristocrat, he suddenly very nervous to the point that his personality changes.
("Claire said that with a sweet smile, and I couldn’t help but think, “Please stop, or I might start falling for you... ”) .
Oh my God, what are you? A middle-schooler? For God's sake, you are an adult! Why are you nervous around people just because they are beautiful/good-looking?
Spoiler
Inside his backpack (and also his deck), there are numerous powerful cards that not yet / doesn't exist in another world. You know what happened next, right? Ding-ding-ding! You are correct! He easily giveaway those cards to people from the kingdom! What an outstanding move from our virgin, genius, and promising Author! He doesn't have physical strength, experience on martial art or self-defense, and the only things that he can rely on is his deck, information, and knowledge about cards, yet he easily giving away some cards and crucial information, even his personal rare decks to the third party without consideration.
I'm not saying you shouldn't read this novel, but if you like novel about TCG, this novel might be for you. But if you want you read it, I advise you to lower your IQ to 30-50 due to protagonist naivety and s*upidity.
