The biggest reason I like it is because of the characters. The MC, Kuroki, has very nice character development. He isnt that confident at the start since his childhood friend and first crush got taken by the hero, Reiji. He also lost to him in kendo, which not only has he trained for a long time, but also was very talented in. Not to mention that was Reijis first time doing kendo. But slowly over the course of the series his inferiority complex goes away and he starts becoming more confident in himself. He manages to do that by beating Reiji a couple of times, getting stronger and yes having s*x with a couple of girls (the man pulls of a 6 way in which he f*cks a girl so hard he almost kills her). The thing that needs to be mentioned is that he was given aphrodisiac by one of his lovers, Kuna, and that he didnt r*pe any of the girls. Though I think the most important character to Kurokis character development is the goddess, Rena. Rena is a bad person. Selfish, manipulative, arogant and so on. She is the pretiest girl in a world that worships beauty and she knows it. But the thing is she doesnt like flashy playboys. But our MC is just her type (that being handsome, but not flashy). And so after trying to get him to drink a love potion and accidentally drinking it herself, she has a one night stand with him, erases his memories, gets pregnant, falls in love with him and in the end has s*x with him from time to time as their relationship is a secret. Meanwhile the whole world believes she is in love with the hero and the hero himself believes it because of a few missunderstandings. Hell the MC, who lost his memory of the time they had their first time, thought she was in love with the hero. It wasnt untill she restored his memories. Its a fascinating relationship because he knows she has a rotten personality, but he still loves her as she is very good only to him. There is a bunch of other great ones, like the hero who you just love to hatte, but at the same time he isnt really all that bad and has an intresting character arc. Same goes for a lot of characters, though some more obvious than others and some might just wrrite characters of as annoying, dumb and so on even though they are quite fascinating. You can even see the author making fun of isekai hero tropes here and there. The hero, Reiji, and his harem arent much difrent from some isekai MCs in other stories. Its just the story presents them from a difrent angle than other isekais.
[collapse]Ps. I added spoilers here mainly just to write my opinions on the characters. You dont have to read it as its quite long. I say give this novel a shot if you like isekais. Dont be too bothered by the ntr bits and enjoy the show. Also remember that although the hero party seems annoying and dumb, truth be told they are just any op hero and his harem from most of the power fantasy series just as side characters.
