Synopsis

What's a guy to do when his life suddenly changes while innocently enjoying a nice, cold drink after work? And I mean really changes. This middle-aged commoner now finds himself in the body of Liam Hamilton, the young son of a noble house teetering on the brink of collapse. Between his fervidly desperate father and his utterly apathetic brothers, the only bright side to his new situation is that Liam can finally try learning magic like he's always wanted. Little does he know his hobby of choice may be about to turn his life upside-down yet again! Will Liam be able to master the craft of magic? And will it be enough to save him from the shadow looming over his family...?

Preliminary (4/12 eps)
I enjoyed it!

Overall, I think you should give this show a chance. Its very easy to watch, I had a great time relaxing with ...

Wow...that was ass.

This anime is an adaptation of the light novel of the same name, written by Miki Nazuna.

Miki aims to be the fastest in the industry, and boy, oh boy, he IS FAST. THIS GUY HAS 15+ UNFINISHED STORIES—15! And most of them are pretty much copy-paste: "cheat this," "cheat that," "I got a cheat and now I have girls slobbering over my meat," "I’m weak, but I can actually destroy the world." His writing ability is on par with a Wattpad fanfic writer.

And this anime is one of his concoctions that, for some mysterious reason, was approved to be animated. You might ask, ...

This is one of those Isekais where the MC gets reincarnated as a noble and spends his time leisurely learning magic and building a Harem. There is no depth to story or character development. Just a thick-headed MC meeting one girl after another, who all wants to be his slave (literally). And unfortunately, there is no decent comedy, romance or ecchi, so there's nothing really enjoyable about this show. The series just had me cringing every few minutes starting from 2nd Episode.

I did like the power system and explanation about the magic in the first episode. But it was short lived, as the MC just ...
