Pretty bad. It's literally the same as every other amateur isekai novel so far.Main character somehow starts off underpowered as hell (it's also an isekai trope to be either overpowered or underpowered after being transported), meets another mis-fit magician who turns out to be an elf girl (love interest #1 out of 3 so far, and yes, they're all majorly romantically attracted to him but everyone's acting as if they were children when it comes to romance), stumbles his way to victories with methods that for some reason a world that's been around for apparently 15 million years has never thought of using (like using water to drown enemies, not really a secret strat), and ends up succeeding beyond his wildest dreams. Congratulations, I just summarized the whole novel for you.There are tiny plot twists here and there, but the twists straighten themselves out quickly and the main story resumes its linear path to the upcoming predictable ending. No spoilers, but trust me: you won't be surprised while reading this novel, as it is all within the scope of your most basic novel reader's imagination and not really well-constructed.There's a lot of tropes here that you've seen before. Crazy strong love interest that wields a pikopiko hammer as a weapon, scenes where one girl is caught doing something completely innocent with the MC and the rest of the love interests misunderstand, the MC being given great political power on a whim with a system that gets created by the author to further advance the plot once it's supposedly needed, crazy monsters that takes everyone all their strength to defeat yet the supposedly weak MC manages to defeat them easily, an MC that never gets angry and is given a skill to ensure that he basically can't ever feel such emotions so he ends up being too nice... Literally run-of-the-mill, and I'm angry I fell for it.If you enjoy generic isekai novels with block-headed protagonists that somehow end up with harems and everything just works out for him all the time forever, then this is for you. If you prefer an -even minimally- compelling story, look elsewhere. I personally prefer a compelling story, but I've already started reading this, so I guess I'll finish it for closure purposes.
