It's an interesting and refreshing change of pace from the standard isekai story.Most stories start with the summoning ritual, focus on the main character, and then pretty much forget about the rest, with the main character living either a wish-fulfillment happy-go-lucky life full of adventure or a tragic hell-on-earth dark fantasy that drives him mad, rarely anything in between.Here, over 200 people get dragged to a new world and are immediately told to choose between obedience or death. Then reality happens.Back home, the summoning ritual is seen as a mass-kidnapping and terrorist attack, and the police are less than happy to see the main character because of cos-playing impostors.The press is full of paparazzi that treat the whole thing as their best shot at a Pulitzer.The school mates are, as expected of 8th graders, extremely selfish and immature.And, of course, Camilla, the one who set off the plot, is actually far more sympathetic than she first appears, despite how horrific her actions are.If you're looking for a story that makes you think, and brings a nice touch of reality, then this is for you.If you're looking for edgy revenge-drama, or power and harem fantasy, this story may not be for you.
