First volume have a decent flow of story, a battle, some strategizing, decent depiction of action. Even if the prologue is relatively bad (it is some kind of slice from the future of the story. Disconnected and pretty boring), the battle which happens next does capture attention. MC is not OP (not in the sense that he can handle everything alone, but he does have his "experience of past life" that makes him powerful). Story looks like a low fantasy word where magic does not dominate everything and have relatively low impact (compared to other isekais). Mostly focused on noble/court politics, with some good old
...
melee violence.
Problem is that author loves tangents and ramble about things. It looks like he thinks this is how you do "worldbuilding"(it is not). Though at first he uses it sparingly and does not bore too much with random trivia of his fictional world, later (in the second book) it is pretty much 10% story and 90% tangents. Why do I need to know some random info on your fictional word if you do not even use it yourself for any interaction between characters? Two pages of generic rambling based on references from the real world which then lead to nowhere. As fun as watching paint dry. Then some dialogue, a little bit of interaction, and two more pages of tangent to some stupid thing. Rinse and repeat.
A story chock-full of garbage-rate trivia is the worst thing you can write. How did people even publish this or choose to translate is the mystery for me.
