This is one of the typical isekai manga where in the main protagonist has unique and rare skill sets in the world that he was transferred unto.

The chapters that I have read are still few but I find this manga a good one. There are few signs of romance between the main protagonist and one of the female characters but the main protagonist's main goal is prioritized based on the chapters that I have read.

It managed to entertain me even though it is one of the typical isekai series.
It's worth trying to read a few chapters to decide whether you would continue reading or not ... . Based on the chapters that I have read I still can not put on a clear review about this manga.

And based on the current flow of manga, the are still no signs of harem tag. I hope this manga does not follow the harem trend.

I don't think this is particularly good but I enjoyed my time with it. While the characters and story are generic and generally uninteresting, I think at least what makes this enjoyable for me is that the story does not skim on the world-building details (though it is also generic) and thus, the story does not fast forward or treat the mundane as a disruptive element to the absurd, overpowered battle sequences that the generic Isekai media like to skip to.

Still, that does not at all dismiss the fact that the plotting has a very loose structure and is generally lacking stakes, as well ... as the fact that the protagonist has little depth and is overpowered as all hell. The story also does not know how to implement weight into its crucial story beats (e.g. MC at one point teaches an Isekai blacksmith a new way of blacksmithing in the most casual manner).

But honestly, were you expecting anything different from a manga that is literally called "Isekai Cheat Magic Swordsman"? This is escapist media. It tells a power fantasy narrative and it is unapologetic about it. While certainly, I would argue the best power fantasy Isekai stories (that aren't built to be subversive, aka The Eminence in Shadow) are the ones that know how to layer its power fantasy narrative with other compelling story elements, I can't fault this for doing what it does, it knows what it is and it embraces it whole-heartedly.

Another dumpster fire isekai. Random dude gets isekeid and is immediately the powerful existence on the planet. MC is so overpowered he only has to think of a super power and he gets it. And you won't believe it but he joins a guild! It's super funny because he has to start at rank G even though he has god-like powers LOL. It gets even better because he doesn't understand how things work which makes him look like a dumb dumb LOL. This is the type of clever writing we love from isekai. No story here whatsoever. Dude just casually walks around showing off his ... powers while everyone makes a pikachu face. The end.
