Sherry was really feeling the heat of love when eating those chocolates and thinking about Cid huh?
Even when you have a MC doing everything to avoid any attention, them bitches cant stops falling from him!

i could really do without the sexualized chocolate eating scenes. multiple. just trashy and unnecessary. add zero to the enjoyment of the show or its plot

mc is a moron. how's he think surviving a beating makes him a background character? it'll make him stand out even more, and he'll even garner the respect of some folks. also, no way he can be a background character now that he's just protected that student body prez

I really don't understand how Cid's mind works sometimes. For a "I'm gonna be the background character through and through!" mentality he does things which broke that mantra like the "never giving up" and "saving the heroine" schtick

Well, at least there was some character building and I actually like the class president. Plus the entire terrorist thing looks potentially interesting.

For some trying to pass as an NPC, MC has been doing a lot of things to steal the thunder.

This is one of the main running gags of the show. You won't be surprised to hear, it's still happening all the way to the end.

I still have no idea whether this is a game setting or a real world.
Hope it doesn't turn into a Harem, as it seems to be going that way.

It plays around with the harem trope (of course) but it's not that type of show.

Dang, his 48 techniques 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️. I wonder if I should laugh or cry at this. 

Damn, without magic, he lost control of his emotions and took the attack in front of everyone. Now, things are going to be hard to hide.

Episode 7 is comedy gold and the reason for my 9/10 rating. It was worth the first 6 episodes to watch.

I think it's the best transposition of a human being into a parallel world after his death. In other words, in my opinion as isekai it is beautifully developed, both as a story and as a humor and I can't wait to see a new season of this magnificent character and his entourage. Congratulations to all the staff!

In my opinion, the show is just overhyped. No clear story progression.
The show can be watched subconsciously, but to say it is very entertaining with a good story is an overstatement.
And personally, I don't even know why people love the mc.

The end has a cliffhanger which is quite interesting, we also see a rivalry brewing between Sherry (the pink hair girl) and Alexia (white hair) although Sherry is unaware. I almost forgot why Alexia likes Cid but then I remembered its because he was the first person to say that they like her sword style

I really want to like this show but after just watching overlord season 4 like one week before this I just can't stand this type of humor. The ''i have no idea what im talking about but my underlings think im brilliant (even the voice change)''. The worst part he is actually smart so he should notice it

not to mention that his obsession with being a background character is just super annoying because slapstick comedy just doesn't fit the show but they are trying to fit in every few seconds and it just gets super old. It's a shame, if the main character was actually serious this show could have been fun but I just can't stand it

Cid is doing a lot of unnecessary stupid theatrics for someone who wants to be an obscure background character but I guess this show would be boring otherwise.

I know Cid didn't want to attract attention but it seems like he attracted two female students' attention with his persistency. Sherry got his attention and they exchange gifts. She feels like a character that will grow close to Cid - like very close clingy and attached. Episode was good though, I liked how Cid just throws away his public character in order to preserve his real character. The knights of the round table target the academy yet again and that episode ending was a massive surprise

God, Cid is so damn dense, he gave Sherry a chocolate, not considering the consequences (Both the potential of her having feelings for him AND the fact that her father is an important researcher, a named figure he doesn't want to interact with). And now he's gotta deal with Sherry's growing affection for him and having to interact with her father. Hold on, I'm not done, Cid is so damn dense he doesn't realize he's giving out orders unintentionally to his subordinates, but the worst, most inexplicably densest thing about him is not realizing the reality that goes on around him.

It's so ironic that the Leader of a clandestine Shadow Garden organization with an extensive information-sharing network is the MOST out of touch with the truth. And neither he nor his subordinates realize it since for some reason, all his impulsive and random actions always lead to success in some particular task.

Want more proof that Cid is a dense dumbass? Sure lol...
He's so focused on trying out his various practised moves to lose against Oriana in their duel, that he forgot or simply ignores that A NORMAL HUMAN DONT JUST GET BACK UP OVER AND OVER AGAIN if anything DOING THAT IS THE MOST SHONEN-MAIN CHARACTER THING EVER!!! He ended up bringing himself to Oriana's attention, she even respects him.

The cliffhanger of this episode is superb, nah ofc Cid didn't 'die' but seeing everyone else's reactions was satisfying. Especially Oriana's, here is the junior that put showed unrelenting spiritn during their duel, a junior she respected and now said junior stood lifeless on the ground, bloodied after saving her life. MAIN CHARACTER TYPE SHIT.

Cid's overwhelming power is directly proportional to his perception of reality
