The title and first few chapters could have led to a nice flow, but instead they both get completely tossed out just a few chapters in. Following that is the most hilariously appalling overpowered as hell mc with absolutely zero explanations and a million contradictions to prior things, as well as just finding items every other chapter with effects that basically say "make you god". This is truly the worst thing I have ever and likely will ever read/watch, but it *is* so rushed and stupid about it that I could understand some people finding it fun bad. The art style is decent but quality ... is not so much. There are zero enjoyable characters.

Classic weak to op mc but the progress is explained decently and enjoyable. Classic op monster girl main girl but her and the mc both have fun personalities and their romance is much better and faster than most. I would give the series a 9 if the main girl didn't not show up for 20 recent chapters with a lame "surprise" reason that is only revealed afterwards, also all the characters only ever wear one thing which is quite disappointing.
The main couple is the best part and I'm quite sure that peaked a while ago since the (weak)harem part is happening now on top ... of "far away" world plot, so I expect it won't hold up as well throughout. Also all the girls are small so if you're only into voluptuous babes be wary.

-The content for the first 2/3s of the show is mostly decent but the last entire third is based on the bad "important plot" that is also driven solely by really really stupid things that could've easily been not stupid things with the same effect.
-The art style is quite nice but the art quality is never extravagant.
-Takina's personality makes extremely sudden massive shifts twice for no good reason.
-The main couple is not nearly gay enough, ~~EDITreally at all, not even sure if I could call it yuri undertones,EDIT~~ ... which is very sad because they are REALLY the main reason to watch the show. They do have some nice official art and an audio drama released after the show though, and of course lots of way better fan content.
-The songs are really good.
-The outfit design is nice and changes several times
-Chisato is one of those perfectly genki angelic characters that don't exist in real life and always make you happy
-The 3 main side characters are nice and never have an overbearing presence

If you're interested in this because you just want to watch a cute and sexy pink haired gyaru be cute and sexy then this is at least a 9/10.

However, the whole premise is baffling dumb and also causes the characters to be frequently thinking and sometimes actually getting NTRd. On top of that the main character, particularly his dialogue, is upsettingly stupid.

The side characters are pretty decent but you never meet any of their spouses and they rarely mention them which is immersion ruining.

It also easily could've ended with this season but in the last 5 minutes they leave it ambiguous and for a ... second season (which would have an even higher concentration of cute sexy gyaru so I'm down with that happening).

art quality pretty good
voice acting quite good
opening and ending songs good

Other than the art style being iffy at best and quite off-putting often (don't look at their eyes when their head's are tilted), the first large arc of 65ish chapters is okay.
However, after that, where it absolutely should've ended, it continues for another 180 chapters, with 20-30 added characters, and 10-30 added plot lines that NEVER get resolved or touched upon. So many characters just evaporate when they're very important, only to be brought up 30 chapters later to say hi and do nothing. So many relationships are shredded and the characters involved just move on ... with their (INCREDIBLY RUINED) lives instead of giving a single care?
Also, while this is certainly a common plot driver, EVERY drama in this series is caused by the characters having unbelievably bad commination, which is infuriating.
And hoo boy it just gets worse and worse over the last couple volumes, the last one is completely flabbergasting.

The only good part of this show is the that the NPCs are basically real people and have meaningful strife with the real players. Unfortunately, that's only about 30% of the story, and far less of the overall screen time.

The characters are somewhat enjoyable, though none are particularly strange enough to claim any significant feelings from a viewer over any set of characters from any other show.

The real issue is how much of this scenario is supposed to be an MMO and how absolutely fucking terribly the show portrays it. They literally live in ... an MMO, which has supposedly been around for 20 years(though is still the most poorly made game to ever exist), yet less than 1% of players have hit max level, and nobody in the entire game, including the veterans, acts like they've ever played anything. Every single character has severe brain damage, nobody ever uses more than 2 abilities in their repertoire of 10 minimum, and several times, abilities that previously were shown to do something, now do something else.

I feel I need to give some examples, so that anybody who has a shred of common sense or cares at all about video games will steer clear of this show. In an early episode, the main character uses an ability that does 1k true damage per ally hit, 5 times(max level character of the tankiest class has only 14k hp max), and then after that deals 50% of the opponents max hp. Clearly this has to be the most overpowered ability ever created, and maybe the author realized this too, because next episode the 50% hp shred was straight up removed. Did i mention that the main character only has buffing abilities, has only played solo, and was one of the first people to hit max level?

In that same scene, a low level healer needlessly puts out healing of about 5hp/sec, which the main character for some reason has her "hold until the right moment." Then she levels up a few times, from about 19 to 24, and suddenly in a later battle she randomly puts out healing of over 1k/sec, which hilariously outheals any form of damage the entire gangrape on enemies had been doing.

Tanking things in this game works on a damage based aggro scale, so high dps people or tanks with "fake high damage" abilities tank enemies. Later on in a dangerous battle, the bard, who has been shown to have 0 damaging abilities, is in a 1v2 against the same enemies as the tank right next to her is 1v1ing. This takes place after a heartwarming several episodes where their troop learns common sense, and clearly proved that they at the very least knew how tanking works. This leads to a rough battle, where the "smartest strategist" in their group realizes their tank is about to die, here's how that scene plays out.

"I need to use [shield ability] on [tank] or he'll die, but its on a 10 second cooldown still!" It then shows her HUD, where we can see that ALL of her other abilities are up, several of which we have seen be fairly useful. "But wait, that [shield ability] doesn't even work against these enemies!" Why in the world was she using it then, nevertheless ONLY using it.

Also this tragedy of a battle starts with all the max levels characters sitting it out, because they have to "regen their mana", even though we've seen that mana fully regens in 1 hour, they haven't done anything involving mana in at least a day, and they have a plethora of mana potions.

The relative OK-ness of this show's characters and story barely make an attempt to outweigh the pain that is the scenario.
