Genjitsu Shugi Yuusha no Oukoku Saikenki

After the death of his grandfather, 19-year-old Kazuya Souma—an aspiring civil servant—is left all alone with no one to call family. Out of the blue, he is transported to the Elfrieden Kingdom, a small ailing country in another world, to be a "hero." An ongoing war with the demon army has put the entire world in peril, and Kazuya was summoned to aid in the conflict as an offering from Elfrieden to its allies.

Dissatisfied with being used as tribute, Kazuya decides to help the kingdom revamp its declining economy—not by way of adventuring or war, but through administrative reform. Abruptly declared the King of Elfrieden and betrothed to the princess, the "Realist Hero" Kazuya sets out to assemble a group of talented citizens who will assist him in his bureaucratic battles to get the kingdom back on its feet.

TLDR
I really enjoyed this. It's intelligent and focuses on rebuilding and improving rather than heroes and battles. Its funny, smart and really satisfying. I highly recommend this for basically anyone whose looking for something a little more mature than the superkid hero thing.

Cast
The protag is incredibly intelligent, perhaps ridiculously so, but it is believable for a well read, rational person to know this stuff. The 'found family' cast are what really make this show special though, he's not doing this alone and that really helped carry me through the show. Liscia in particular is a rock, quietly carrying the king through his ordeals. They're mature, ...

Mixed Feelings

I really wish that there was something that I could pull out of this ungodly boring story that just carried on foreve. It's insanely bland and it drags on and on as the result of it. I think the most important episode should have been moved into a much more relevant place then the finale. There is just too little for me to be able to pull together a lot of positive information.

The characters were actually adequate, a couple were at the top all the time, all of the people he brought in in search of additional cabinet members or food connoisseurs or those that ... know how to battle. They were good characters.

Out of all of the ones that were brought in, the one of greatest importance at the time, Tomoe, never showed up again until a shopping trip late in from mid season 1 until season 2 for a brief/half episode shopping trip and then at the outro of the last episode at which she had about four words. I'm curious what the point was of bringing her in if they didn't anticipate sticking to the original demon Army theory.

The promise was set up to focus around the demons that were invading the North country and nothing was done with them. Instead, basics on how to build a society took precedence didn't nobody can deny that that's one of the most boring things you can experience.

The war episodes, 9-11 or thereabouts, were good. I really enjoyed those and I thought maybe we were going to have hope for something better, but that didn't happen either.

The harem was thrown together in an emergency as if it was a forgotten subplot to support an iseakai. I absolutely have to say that Lecia got screwed and so did we! She was probably the best character out of the entire show but was never developed and was always pushed to the side. She should have had a more implemental effect on how things went and how someone ran his life day to day.

Why did I keep on going to the end? Well, I thought maybe there'd be more stories and ways of handling things that might get better, but instead we got filler episodes at 21, 22, 23 and 24. I don't know who put that together and thought it was a good idea to push filler episodes at the very end of the last season, but they need to put in a corner and told to stand in time out.

It took me a long time to get through and I'm sorry to tell people that this isn't worth your while because I know to some people it's going to be, but I can't really recommend that with a full conscience behind it.

As difficult as it was for me to get through this, I'm going to throw a mixed feelings on it and a mid-level ranking. There may have been a lot more of negative things in this review, but I still feel that there could be something redeeming for someone.

I made a bet with a friend that I would watch one season of an isekai, and I happened to choose the most flavorless one. "Realist Hero" has got to be the isekai of all time. The main hero is such a self-insert that at times the show plays like an Adam Sandler flick. The show meets so many stereotypes of the genre, it practically feels AI-generated. Let's go through the list:

Overpowered MC? Check.
Contrived harem plot? Check.
Terrible exposition and lore dumping? Check.
Emotionless dialogue and tone-deaf voice delivery? Check.
Soft magic system that empowers the characters when needed? Check.
Demon lord? Check.

The gimmick of this show is, ...
