It’s ok. You can’t expect much from this type of slow-life genre, and you won’t get much either way. The bottom line is that there’s just nothing about this manga that makes you want to keep reading and crave for the next chapter due to its predictable plot and typical characters and their cliches.

The plot is about what’s you expect from every cookie-cutter slow-life, overpowered, “kicked out of my ___” kind of story, which really kills most of any form of engagement and excitement for each coming chapter.

As for the characters, they are all boring and dispensable according to the author’s whim to ... glorify and praise the main character’s greatness, which he himself isn’t the most entertaining bloke in the neighborhood either. The mc acts virtually around the archetype of “realist but in a boring manner” — he doesn’t add any flare or difference to the story; he’s a cone.

Every time I read a slow-life manga, the more I realize that it’s one of the worst themes out there, as there’s rarely anything good that stems from it. This is, of course, no exceptions o that fact and theory.
