Just ugh. The first few volumes are pretty good (those that were adapted into the first season). After dealing with the first Demon Lord, the dude travels around without any particular direction and just does stuff. Defeat of the second one is the next thing that was decently written. The last interesting volume is about the Demon Overlord, but to get there you have to read quite a few volumes about nothing.

There is one good thing about the story - it has some nice suggestive content, from boob fondling to some decent indecency. Unfortunately, it does not happen often enough to justify reading boring volumes ... after you get tired of how uninspired the story is.

Worst offending flaw is the CONSTANT reiteration of MC background (that he is a NEET, cannot communicate, etc.). It is okay to repeat this stuff in the first couple of books, but it is unbearable to have to read about it a hundred times over. I GET IT, HE IS SOCIALLY CHALLENGED, FOR GOD'S SAKE, CAN WE MOVE ON??? Nooo, author repeats this thing over and over, over and over, and over, and over, and over, and OVER. IN EVERY SINGLE VOLUME, EVERY TIME HE HAS TO SPEAK OUT OF CHARACTER. Repetition of the same situations with few differences and the same solution to each of them. It gets REALLY old after a while. MC just does not develop in any way, except for his power growth, which is always matched by his opponents in some way. There are some changes in his character, but they happen at a half dead snail's pace.

The next worst thing is that he is always in a react state. Author just does not use him as an actual protagonist to push for something. It is just boring to read volume after volume without any overarching plotline or some actual protagonist goals whatsoever.

The last straw is when you realize that the MC party is just a bunch of clowns who go off the rails the moment any injustice happens in their eyes/presence. Without any regard to logic or cause, and without thinking about how their "solution" is worse than a problem. In the end, it is still made to work by some miracle from the author, which makes it even more baffling and stupid.
