I thought that was pretty funny. Definitely worth continuing to watch for now.

Usually you see this character design it's a much different kind of show.

I bet you despite his looks he will still get a harem.
I've seen enough Isekai to know how this ends.
And I bet only one or two of them will be in for his money.

Episode 1

The beginning feels just like with the start of I'm the Evil Lord of an Intergalactic Empire! where the MC gets fired from his job after getting framed by somebody else that causes him to lose trust in his world before getting isekaied. Unlike in that show where the MC was framed for embezzling company funds and was married to somebody who cheated on him, this one some sleazeball sets an ugly guy and frames him for molesting her. Shigeru thought that by simply accepting a plea deal and paying a fine that everything would be all well and good, but the consequences were much worse than expected as he lost his job, and that criminal record prevented him from getting another one for six years. And for that bitch who set him up, she got off unscathed because she was a minor then. So with nothing left to lose, Shigeru signs up for a program that gets him isekaied to another world and he had the opportunity to choose his stats. He went all-in with everything but the looks department, and after defeating a single goblin he achieved godlike status. But he has an Achilles heel as women cause massive damage to him seeing that he has had terrible experiences with them and believes that he can simply ignore them and go solo. Getting that giant burger from that girl feels just like an atomic bomb on him. Another ridiculous premise here, and it's an interesting setup to say the least. That said, unfortunately this show is likely going to get caught up in the numbers game as there are just way too many shows to watch this season.

It's a bit too goofy for me. I'll check out the second episode, but I doubt it's going to be any better.

Not as funny as the first one. Still a level above the typical isekai and better than most of the other fantasy shows I've seen this season.

Episode 2

And here, this episode is focused primarily on Seiji as while he looks like a teen, he's actually 30, and on top of that he is Shigeru's former boss. But Seiji doesn't know that Shigeru is this Mr. Y person he was talking about as Shigeru tells everybody that his last name is Sasaki and not Yoshioka. The company Shigeru worked for fell apart not long after he was fired as there were numerous problems and an accident using AI was the final nail in the coffin. And then there's Seika, who is a rich kid and does look her actual age. She thinks money can buy everything as she stocks up on a bazillion arrows and fires them haphazardly knowing that she can afford to buy more equipment, but that's not exactly a wise thing to do. And in the meantime, Shigeru and company accept a request from Kyoshiro, but it was awfully suspicious, and Shigeru knew that those drinks were actually sleeping potions. But Shigeru was unaffected and played along. And it tuns out that a trick like that won't work on Seiji, either, as he sprouts wings on his back. While it continues to be silly, at least it's entertaining enough to consider watching it through to the end.

So...both guys are age 30+
one girl is 17 and the other is still real age unknown

as long as they stay away from any Romance sub-plots I don't have a problem although the shower scene was unneeded.
The show has been mostly harmless fun so far but that age gap leaves the potential to get creepy.

I'm hoping the 17 year old turns out to be roleplaying and is exactly the same age main guy is. But I doubt it will happen.

With the handicaps he gave himself we're not going to be seeing him involved in any hot and heavy romances. Plus he doesn't seem like the kind of person who would fall for a ditzy teenager. I don't see any attraction being more than one sided.

And I have a hunch...

If I've Been Killing Slimes taught me anything it's that older Japanese women want to be reincarnated as 17 year olds.

Personally I don't like my chances as a 17 year old Japanese girl in a fantasy world.
Chances are you'd wind up as a slave or goblin bait.
Or bandits.
It's usually bandits.

I should have specified a 17 year old white girl. Apparently even Japanese people don't want to be Japanese so I don't think I really would either ;)

Episode 3

Seiji unleashes the power of Aldean, a power so feared that Kyoshiro and his goon squad decide to surrender. Or so they thought as getting slapped wasn't going to get them to change their ways. But it's a good thing Shigeru was prepared in that very situation and kept his true strength under wraps to catch them off guard. Afterwards, Shigeru and Seika have some time to socialize as while Seika also has low stats in the look department, her special request to look pretty lets her look pretty in spite of them. Then roles are assigned for this party as Seiji is the hero, Seika is the mage, and Shigeru is the epic fighter. As for the fourth member, she refuses to give out her name and goes by Reeze with the role of hunter. It turns out that Reeze is somebody who knows Shigeru. I have to believe she is the woman who framed Shigeru for molesting her that led him to losing his job, but that remains to be explained. So the party consists of a former salesman, his former boss, a rich girl, and now it looks like the last member is somebody who took down ugly men for a living.

I don't think Seiji is his former boss, got the impression he was someone he did business with and helped get Seiji's company started.

Starting to think that Seika might have been hospitalized.
and I think we saw Seika's -16 appearance in action when the crowd shoved her aside to get to Reeze. the "I want to be pretty" doesn't negate people treating her poorly.

That was fun. Using a booger to blow up a wall then pointing the "hero's" hand at it. I like how he was doing pirouettes last episode too. He's definitely babysitting these three.

Mr. Hero reminds me of something out of Eminence in Shadow with all his cringey hero rhetoric. Funny stuff.

I guess it seems like possibly the blonde girl is the one who falsely accused him, but how would she know he is also the one who helped the hero guy in his previous life? Seems she would have to be pretty perceptive to know that. I'd think the false accuser would be some sort of dumb bimbo type character.

The hero guy thought it was him originally and asked his family name. After a pause he gave a false name. And his face isn't hugely different from when he was on Earth frankly.

Episode 4

Well, that was a huge misdirection there as it's through her special ability read what others put in their Special Notes that Reeze knew who Shigeru really is and while she did break somebody, it was Seika and not Shigeru, and it was by accident. It appeared that Reeze was that bitch who framed Shigeru, but she's actually Seiji's little sister, and she was the reason why the AI accident happened and Seika became unconscious from it. And in the meantime, another isekaied adventurer arrives in Reia, who is on the run from her party. She has a bone to pick with all the pretty girls who ruined her life, and as such Seika is a target. Seiji was nice enough to nurse her back to health, but because of what she put down as s Special Note that she can't let Seika live. And then an angel suddenly appears at the end. So while that bitch who put Shigeru through hell might still be out there, she's not in the party as it appeared would be the case last time around.

Dang. Well everyone is connected to each other from their original world, just not how I thought. Still, won't be surprised if the other girl shows up with how things are going.

So the special notes are basically what this whole show revolves around, and not just for ugly guy.

Huh wasn't expecting any of that, way to go to not to be too obvious, kudos to the author. Yikes be careful what you put in your special notes and geez another girl losing a limb, in worlds with magic healing I always just assume they can fix that.

Boo to chopping off the blonde's hair though.

Her attitude reminds me of Peter Griffin wearing a no fat chicks shirt.

She resents being ridiculed for being ugly and does the same to Shigeru. I don't think that has anything to do with a special note controlling her.

Ok, so he is not the only Almighty God in this world.
Plus learn that the key to that is sacrificing a worldly desire in your special notes.

I guess he's given up two; no touching women and will always be poor.

Karina is already more powerful than him and she could kill him with just 10 touch attacks.

Food and sleep seem more like necessities to me. She started to say something during the last episode before she got cut off that I think is a clue to the desire that she gave up.
