A surprisingly nice read in a jungle of bad isekai being churned out these days.Makoto is a simple, mildly funny and a good guy. He's mildly dense which is acceptable as this gives the time for the relationship to develop. The surrounding characters are nicely done, with enough time devoted for their development. A lot of focus is given to character development and the pov change helps us understand the characters better and appreciate their actions. There hasn't been much romantic development but the harem is building around and Makoto is very well aware of it. The skills he has are very normal, but he takes power from people around him, which is a refreshing take on isekai where everything is served to the MC at the beginning.A few things I wished were there and should have been focused on would be -
- A deeper world building, particularly the monsters, etc need to be defined a bit more vividly. There is a lack of sense of danger in the novel which makes you wish for some tense moments.
- The illustrations are somewhat less and again don't help in imagining the fights, which diminishes the world imagination. Also, the character designs are on the childish side, which could have been improved.
