I have read the raws to chapter 70 at the time of this review.I enjoyed this series this far but there are some core components of this story that I find myself deeply disappointed by, especially because I believe there was great potential here.Pros:
- This does not come across as a cookie cutter isekai. While still adhering to the basic concepts of isekai, there isn't the overdone process of [dying -> meeting god and getting cheats -> getting harem member A -> joining the adventurer's guild -> rest of story].
- The author makes the protagonist quite relatable or at least likeable enough through some great developments at the initial part of the story.
- The magic system is somewhat fresh. While it could be fleshed out further, it is interesting to read about.
- The uniqueness of this story is that the MC and other transferrees are watched live by everyone around the earth. The author shows by using bulletin board chapters as seen in other stories with games. These chapters are mostly reaction chapters that react to developments by the MC and add information about what is happening on Earth or to other transferrees. In my opinion, this doesn't work very well as it only detracts from the MC's struggles and kills the atmosphere that was building in critical moments.
- light spoilers about MC family membersSpoiler
The MC has two 12 year old sisters who are severe bro-cons while also knowing 8 languages. These sisters are seemingly capable of many ridiculous stunts. They only detract from the story in my opinion. An example of this is when in one chapter the MC is seriously wondering whether it is okay to have s*x with a woman he met and then the next the sisters are on the bulletin board thirsting for their brother.

- Despite a great beginning, the story stagnates afterwards. While it doesn't fall into cliches and there is slow personal development for the MC, we learn little about the world and don't face any actually important developments for a considerable number chapters.
