The extreme levels of patriotism in this story, which other have already mentioned in detail massively detracts from the story. However, worse than that from my perspective is the way that the story handles autism. I stopped reading entirely when the ML whose diagnosis of autism was "cured" by his enthusiasm for business. I'm not sure if it's an issue with the original writing, or lost in the translation, but either way it pisses me off. Autism is not a "curable" illness, it is a personality disorder. People can absolutely improve in their ability to function in society if they are autistic, but that doesn't make it an edgy label you can get rid of later for character growth or whatever other garbage. The story also uses the r-word fairly casually, though I obviously don't know whether that's a fault of the translation or original content. The main character is also badly written and unrealistic, though I suppose that is a relative staple of this sort of story. The only possible positive I could find is that at least there wasn't any magical cooking skill on top of the bullsh*t level of pharmaceutical knowledge the main character had. Maybe I could believe it from a reincarnator in their 50s, but a 35 year old? IQ is treated as the magic word to hand-wave a lot of bullshit.
