It is a time travel slice of life show, technically well done and mildly entertaining. For some reason author decided to screw it all up in the last two episodes.
Warning: plot spoilers ahead. I can't really explain what I didn't like without them.
The MC works in game industry. He had a couple bad projects and wondered if his life would be better if he went to art school instead of university. It's not that he has any passion for art or anything, it just seems to him that it would be more fun/easier.
So, for no apparent reason, he goes back in time, gets into art
...
school and spends couple years there. Then he jumps 10 years forward.
It turns out his time leaps didn't help him much. He doesn't do anything creative, he is in the same exact line of work with only difference being that he is now a minor manager, one position up from the bottom. Three of previously successful and famous "platinum generation" artists who become his closest friends are completely screwed by his time travel. His fourth friend, Kawasegawa, is in worse position than before and about to get fired for mistakes of her boss.
Any half decent person would try to fix it - undo the whole thing and solve his own problems with his own efforts. What does MC do - "I want to go back to be with everyone". What a scumbag. Him "being with everyone" badly screwed up "everyone's" lives.
So, the guy got a time leap, screwed up the past, jumped ahead, looked at horrifying results and wants to continue? Why? How many more time leaps it would take for him to make something of himself? How many more lives he is willing to screw up in the process? Why on Earth he even given an option?
Before the last two episodes it was just a usual escapist SoL anime with MC reaping undeserved benefits of time travel gifted to him for no reason. He is just a normal guy who got lucky. And then he turns into a complete scumbag. I suppose author decided that SoL anime needs a message of some sort. "You can't really succeed in life without multiple time leaps" or "screw everyone, I got mine" - I am not sure which.
