As there are only 7 chapters out as of now, this is just partial review/placeholder. First of all, I absolutely adore the Novel which I've read up to Vol 4 Chp 3, however immediately within the first manga chapter I've recognized that they've skipped an alarming amount of important details that are in my opinion completely necessary for building interest in the series. There is way too much that's been skipped over and makes transitions not flow well. For now I'm just viewing this as something to check out alongside the novel as the art matches the art from the novel. Just from what's already ... out, I can assume that the manga will only continue to rush through this series and barely cover enough to outline the plot, while leaving some cute fluffy moments in, which will ultimately not make as big of an impact on the readers without having been given the time to better understand or adjust to the world that's been built or give justice to just how big an impact Kururi has had on the world and its characters. In the novel Kururi is even more of a beast with almost every subject he encounters and Eliza is the cutest most fluffy best tsundere girl, I ship them so hard. I can't say I'd recommend the manga on it's own and really am only giving good rating for hope that in the future the manga will give justice to the novel which in terms of smart characters/world building, is one of my favorites, alongside I Appear to have been Reincarnated as a Love Interest in an Otome Game, Akuyaku Reijo Ni Koi Wo Shite, and Release that Witch. Ultimately I'd give this manga a barely passing 6, and really wish that they had included much more from the novel, which I'd give a 9.

Okay, so I've rated this manga a 7.8/10 because it had too many cliches

That was a joke, incase anyone was wondering, because this is a unintelligible manga built using ONLY cliches. I'll explain why I rated it a 7 in a bit.

Story- 5
Okay, so the main story, from what I could tell is that truck-kun takes a guy to another world, classic reincarnation tale, but he is essentially just a side character or something in a game he once played. That is probably the best summary I could give, seeing as how the first chapter is a giant cluster f*** with no way to tell ... what the hell is going on. Im honestly so confused, and a bit startled. It's execution isn't terrible, but this manga is essentially a guy trying to follow a route from a game he played before truck-kun came into his life.

Art- 5
Honest opinion? Its just average. Nothing special. Utterly boring.

Character- 5
Again, nothing special here, except maybe the main character who is a bit of a arse with a loser complex. Although the super tall guy is kinda funny and the girl he meets up with is MUCH more interesting than the "love interest"

Enjoyment- 10
Okay, so here is where my review goes more off the rail and bonkers than Rick and Morty season 3. Everything else has been leading to this point, and here it is: This manga is really bad, so bad that it's hilarious to read. I actually had a good time reading the four chapters that are out right now, just because they were so bad. The characters were paper thin, the story was all over the place, the art was subpar, and the entire manga just felt confusing. It's a bad manga, but it's so bad it has passed the point of garbage and has moved on to the comedy side of being bad.

Overall- 7
Again, this manga is bad, from the very start you could tell that it was going to be stupidly bad, but you'll get hooked because you don't truly know how bad it's going to be. If you want to check out something like that, then be my guest and jump right in like I did, however if you don't feel like reading fidget spinner: the manga then don't and go find something ACTUALLY interesting

It's very messy. Too much stuff happens every chapter and the transitions are non-existent. You'll have the MC going to a magic class for 3 pages, in the 4th page he's in his room forging something, in the 5th page he's in the library reading books about growing potatoes, and in the 10th he's at another random class again.

This pattern is present in every single chapter, making the story hard to keep up with. Also, everyone is nice. There's no major bully or antagonist. Even the villainess is just a little brat that's mostly nice. But the fast pace of the story makes it hard ... to call it a slice-of-life, so I don't know what I'm even reading. The protagonist doesn't even use his game/future knowledge, making me wonder why this is based on an otome game at all...
