Enjoyable read, but it does take a while for things to pick up.Very slow-paced, but things start to pick up once our MC and his companions leave the starter-city (well, the starter city after they bug out of the original starter city in the suspect nation that summoned him) and head on over to the first Labyrinth city.As far as the folks crying about the MC's relative weakness and timidness, it's part of the premise of the story-- he's just a civvie who got caught up in a generic isekai story who isn't the supposed hero/protagonist, but recognizes enough stuff going sideways to want to not get caught up in things. I'm pretty sure most of the spergs complaining that he isn't pulling some sort of wish fulfillment fantasy would do just as well if they were to get uprooted from their daily routine and thrown into the middle of a middle ages warzone with poor public order.Anyhoo, yes, it's slow-paced, it's slice-of-life, and it's food p*rn, but eventually the action starts picking up and the MC finds himself growing in spite of himself, especially afterSpoiler
He even gives the MC his (small) blessing, giving him "limited immortality" and gently nudging the MC towards more fortunate circumstances like acquiring major amounts of lost treasure, hidden dungeon bonus drops, and new, even MORE powerful companions than Fel like Ancient Dragon Gonji.
But for the most part, Demiurgos encourages the MC to find his own way in the world, despite giving him "hints, " saying "it's up to you to decide what you want to do with the hints I'm giving you." [collapse]Unfortunately, it takes quite a while to get to this point, so you're going to be subjected to more than 400 chapters of the MC getting pushed around and "going with the flow" and generally acting like a non-confrontational Japanese civilian caught up in circumstances beyond his control.So yeah, it's a slow-life, timid MC getting pushed around until he starts pushing back sort of story, if you've got any sort of edgelord tendencies or just sperg out because reasons, skip this one.
Creation God Demiurgos takes a liking to him, getting the various gods and goddesses off his back (punishing them for their overbearing behavior by confiscating their "tributes" and "grounding" them for a month from contacting the MC).

It's a much more healthy relationship than that of the other gods, almost like a mentorship, and the MC starts to SLLLOWWWLLLYYYY grow a spine to stand up to the Goddesses and his contracted beasts and his various elf stalkers and hostile countries that try to strong arm him, like the corrupt religious state that created a fictional human supremacist religion.
