First of all, the title is a lie. The island stops being just the two of them by like chapter 8 or so. Excellent job editing team.
Anyway, going by the manga cover pic and title, I was under the assumption this would be a thirst trap manga. And there is definitely some fan service going on, with the elf being an unrealistic ditz. She doesn’t seem to realize undressing in front of someone may be weird. And at first you kinda want to give the author the benefit of the doubt, and you think “well, she’s an elf maybe she’s from an all elf
...
world and she just doesn't even considering this dude a dude and so she doesn't care”. But no, she’s from a civilized world with multiple races, and does eventually start being embarrassed when she shows skin after she grows to like the dude. It’s just weird and hamfisted.
And I’ll also mention that the first chapter is really bad at how it handles the whole “oh hi elf, guess what? you’re in a completely different world!” thing. So, so bad. Like the author just did not give a damn and didn’t actually want this to get published. I'm not going to go into details here, but literally every other isekai/ reverse isekai that ive seen does their introduction to the transported character better.
All that out of the way, after 14 chapters it has surprisingly started turning somewhat dark and serious, with various Japanese government agencies having multiple hidden agenda’s, and other stuff going on with the adventurers who show up to the island. Despite a real mediocre opening few chapters, I think if this sticks to the serious tone, cuts the fan service a bit, and doesn’t turn into a harem fic, it might actually make something of itself. I’m going to assume it’ll be canceled before 30 chapters though.
Very much a 5/10 so far, which I’m giving it cuz the art is nice and the characters seem half decent after the elf starts being a person around chapter 8 or 10
