This review also contains spoilers.
This review is just my ramblings, but if you can get value out of my word salad, then that's cool. And as always, don't take this as an objective critique of the material.
Story - 3 (Poor)
It's your standard run-of-the-mill isekai: the MC gets sent to another world for no reason whatsoever (with no real reason for even putting him there, it's just a mechanism to advance the story) and he proceeds to build a flourishing society. Plot points and characters are introduced seemingly to advance the plot and are done so very inorganically.
There is no effort put into the isekai
...
mechanics at all, we just have to accept that the MC has this insane ability and can grow exponentially with no downside. The guy is overpowered and faces no challenges that are convincing to the audience.
The one thing interesting was the relationship between the tank character and the MC. The author drops hints that there is some tension in their relationship (finally!) but I didn't read far enough to get to any resolution of that plot point.
Art - 5 (Mediocre)
At the very least, the art is okay. It's by no means beautiful, but it does the job. Lots of blank and boring backgrounds too, there's no real attempt to establish any kind of geography: they're just in some kind of forest. Panelling is boring and there's not really any interesting perspectives in there. It does the job to satisfy the plot.
Character - 2 (Dreadful)
The MC is the absolute most perfect human being both in personality and in specs. There is no nuance to his character at all, the one character flaw that he has is that he's ruthless to insubordination but even in this case, no-one judges him poorly for it. The guy literally tortures people from his society and forces them to watch throughout the whole night to "prove a point". This would be interesting if it weren't for the fact that this seemingly has no consequence. Everyone just accepted it, no-one expressed their dislike for it, nope, torture is all a-go on the isekai-train!
The supporting cast are nothing to write home about either. They're all your typical tropes: you have a muscly tanky dude, you have the childhood friend, you have the quiet brooding type but perhaps the worst characters of all are the prisoners of war, who inexplicably fall in love with the MC. All five of them.
I could go on, but I fear that that I may be critique the tropes in isekais rather than an actual critique of the material.
Enjoyment - 6 (Fair)
Despite all this, if you are actually looking for a wish fulfilment power fantasy then this does do the job. The character designs are ok, there are some cute girls and there's a lot of implied sex but don't go for this if you're looking for smut. It's fairly tame in that regard.
Conclusions - 3 (Poor)
With all that being said, if you're willing to turn your brain off and watch this overpowered MC tenderly love his harem and face no challenge whatsoever as he grows in power exponentially, then this is the one. However, the isekai mechanics are executed poorly, the characters are paper thin and the setting is terribly banal. I'd like to believe there are better isekai out there that do all this better.
