So what happens when the Isekai-ed hero finishes the job? Well, if he's not dead from being run over by truck-kun, more likely he just goes home. Kikan shita Yuusha no Gojitsudan follows through with this premise and we finally see our OP Gary-Stu boi come back to his world - but wait! All of his skills from the Isekai world have been brought back to his own world!?
Now if this premise doesn't take your interest, nothing will because this manga follows this idea to a T. Expect little surprise here, in fact, expect little variation here. And sadly, this makes this manga incredibly
...
generic. Not to mention, although there are occasional bouts of intrigue from how ridiculous the situations the MC gets himself into, the story always falls back to power fantasy, where the Gary-Stu fixes things and has his harem cake.
Still, I don't think there's anything inherent offensive here... if you are willing to bite the bullet and read an unchallenging work, it can make for a decent enough time sink.
Now here's the bigger problem ... the thing is this isn't the only reverse Isekai work out there with this concept. There is already a better rendition of this premise.
Isekaigaeri no Yuusha ga Gendai Saikyou! pretty much has the exact same premise without the whole world crossing thing going on (at least where I've read till), and it has characters that are much more amusing due to how self-aware and unrestrained they can be at times. This makes for a more engaging read simply because the story structure and characters are much harder to predict. Also, the fact that it's willing to have fun on its own expense also wins it points.
