As far as the concept is concerned, it is incredibly ingenious to think up of a story where the protagonist in the isekai is overly cautious. Breaking multiple layers of many isekai tropes; showing its own self awareness by saying thing like: we only pick japanese coz they're quick to adapt; the demons giving the MC no time to train or prepare himself (probably the most logical antagonist ever) ; the MC, though being overly cautious when his stats was higher, runs when an enemy overpowered him even when he's 20% or 50% has higher stats than them. A lot about this doesn't seems to be something that an isekai, or a shounen, protagonist would've done.With all that said, the MC appears more logical than "overly cautious". It wouldn't be strange to call the title a click bait. And despite being a comedy, this series is actually a lot darker than you would think. There are some scenes, or an element of a story where you would wonder, "wait, I thought this was a comedy isekai so why am I seeing some sh*t that I would normally see in Berserk?!". Some scenes were even more le*d than it should've been with the milk lactation, full on nudity scenes, hair from private parts, and possibly some NTR if you ship goddess and Seiya together lmao. And I swear, the god of death - I think that's what she was called, the one with chains for her clothes - dressed like a character that you would normally see in a hentai. Imagine only cover your nips and your c*otch, that's how she dressed herself. I was doubtful at first when I saw the description in the light novel, but seeing her in the anime opening solidifies the image that I had of her.And my thoughts on the Goddess... Well she's certainly too emotional and annoying, playing the role of a character that gives a punchline to a comedy, while Seiya is like "facts don't care about your feelings", playing the role of the comedian. I could see why people would compare her with Aqua from Konosuba.Additionally, Seiya, our stoic hero, isn't the main protagonist of this story. If you want to refute this, then I would agree with whatever you have to say except for one reason: you can't be expecting the protagonist of the story to be like a side character when we're always in the Goddess' point of view. He also has no inner monologue as well. Normally, a protagonist would always have more inner monologue than any character in their own show, but for this one he has none. Even when he undergo his training, we never get to see what's happening unless the Goddess were also there. You could say that the series is breaking the trope of making the MC the hero and instead make that the goddess' role instead, the person who summoned the hero from another world.With all that said, the overly cautious hero is definitely not suited to be call a comedy series by normal standard. It's a comedy series, however, with the overly excessive violence, perversion, and dark themes, it's literally a borderline comedy/f*cked up (in a good sense) series.Do I hate this series because of that? No. I fact, I personally enjoyed this alot. I may had binge read through half of volume 1 and drop it for a couple of weeks, but I came back to finish reading the entire thing.You guys should definitely check the manga out too. They actually made that way funnier than the anime adaptation of the light novel and much of how the comedy was translated in the light novel itself. This is because of how amazing the comedic visuals are in the manga in comparison to the anime. It's way better than every other source material from this series, to those that doesn't really like this series just from reading the light novel, trust me, check the manga out. For anime, it's the voice acting, and at times, the animation does come into play here. Though, still not better than the manga.
