The premise of the story is great. It starts off with very interesting characters, good worldbuilding, and some standard but enjoyable plotlines. As they introduced new characters and the MC becomes more famous, there are more characters interested in him. I enjoy non-harems mostly because of better character writing, but I was fine with harem here as most potential love interests initially introduced are well-written and not a cardboard personality.As the story progressed, all the good writing is thrown out the window. Before, MC would only save characters that were redeemable. Certain characters, such as Jecky, the author understandably kills off. But then every new potential girl falls for him even if they are evil. Jelliel is a sociopath who killed others and only cares about herself/MC, but she's too pretty and important so she has to be "redeemed" and added to the harem.From that point on, besides the initial well-written characters and love interests, all future characters and development is stale. Every plot or event plays out without much creativity. Magic battles, duels, all problems start out with MC one-sidedly winning or every other character struggling until MC shows up and saves the day. There is no tension and the agency that other characters have are thrown out.There are plenty of stories with an OP MC and plain cast that fawns over him and can't do anything else. The story is great early on as it was different from those. MC is your typical weak to strong with transmigration knowledge, but other characters are well-fleshed out with backstories/development and had agency in the story. Later in the novel this is thrown away and it reverts to any other generic story with a rushed ending.
