For all the complaints that people have of the MC being cowardly and unreliable, that is basically the author's preference. All his works upto this point have been about main characters who are isekai'ed and are cowardly and not used to violence at the beginning like a normal modern person and gradually adapting to the new environment. I would say that at about 100 chaps in he has caught up to his average classmate which have years of head start and by chap 250 he is firmly at named character level in the game. It may seem slow but the author likes to play the long game in his novels so this is pretty fast by his standard. And for people who don't like mc's quirky personality I would say just stop reading. The Author is basically a Gag novel writer and all the major character have at least one quirky trait which breaks their character. If you can look past all that, you can enjoy a relatively low stakes adventure in a genre where everything a MC does has high stake and casually enjoy the mc's gradual growth and surprisingly complex state of mind once you get under his skin. The author is a master at gradually raising the stakes according to the mc's growth so it never feels either underwhelming or overwhelming. All of the mc's problems are things that someone of his strength and experience should be able to deal with. So much that at times MC sometime feels like just a major character in the novel rather then center of the world like your typical MC, which is refreshing
