This one is the definition of niche. The first several chapters are a huge chore to get through and the writing is pretty mediocre. The big draw here is the main character. Either you enjoy him or you don't. And honestly, I think it's more fair to say either you can imagine yourself doing the things that he does or you can't. Because the MC is kind of all over the place as a character and more of a vehicle for personal wish fulfillment. If you can get that satisfaction from the story, this is a 4. If you can't then it's a 2. Hence I've rated it a 3. There are pretty annoying flaws throughout but it has a world that is pretty interesting to explore through the MC's eyes.Edit after seeing some of the other reviews: there are plenty of noticeable flaws due to the MC's weirdness mentioned above but he at least provides a different story than most Japanese LN protags. So bear in mind that he does not have the usual fear of telling a girl that he likes her that you usually see in these stories. He also isn't hung up on morals from his old world, nor is he a cringey edge lord bent on vengeance. So even though he is weird he is at least different, which is a pretty clear positive.
