TL;DR: it's okay. Even pretty good if you don't mind the contrived plot.It's not particularly original, but the start is somewhat well-executed. Good world building, good pacing, clear writing style (though the translation is not consistent in the spelling of names). Most pleasing of all, the NPCs are actually fleshed out characters and they feel "alive".Unfortunately, the story is painfully, obviously, railroaded through the narrow-minded MC who rarely thinks things through. He is not a total idiot, his game-acquired skills make him competent, but the author seems a bit heavy-handed when it comes to the time-loop plot. Instead of a smooth world where every piece falls in place, and every situation is predetermined, the plot advances depending on the MC's inability.
