How the hell is this show below 7 points? Did COVID-19 make all MAL reviewers into SUPER-EDGE-LORD-69-WHO-CANNOT-HANDLE-NON-OP-MC?

First thing first: Just sheer quality of this show puts this at least at 7.
For those who have not watched it, PLEASE do give it a try.

I'll try to summarize few points:
1. Characters start somewhat "extremely" stereotypical. Like, the author really tried to do this. MC is extremely useless, and I mean this quite literally; he is basically a mannequin. Should this turn you off? No; I would say he is uniquely useless, unlike those wimpy OP kids. The girls in this anime are all extreme in their personality ... as well. They aren't quite 'human-like' qualities, but still feel organic none-the-less.
2. Great animation and overall quality in general. What else can I say?
3. Unique comedy style that will immediately remind you of Konosuba. And reasonably so, since we have a same director here. This could be a pro or a con depending on your taste in comedy.
4. Story is quite painfully slow, but it seems like the main focus of the anime is in character dynamics and slice-of-life comedy. The world is very slowly revealed.
5. If you played any sort of Visual Novel or such "waifu game" you can probably see that each of the female leads in this anime are very 'moe-fied'. Each female characters are very adorable (in non-sexual way), but just like the comedy part, this could be a pro or a con depending on your taste.

TL;DR: This is a more moe-fied version of Konosuba without Kazuma. Comedy is there, but less lewdness and more adorableness. If you are looking for an MC with strong charisma, this isn't it. But I would say he is a funny vegetable.

Sigh, the fact that this anime has a rating slightly lower than Princess Connect! Re:Dive shows I can't trust MAL ratings.

We aren't even talking about 'hot garbage' or 'edge lord 6969' here.
This anime is just extremely low budget same-old anime that just doesn't do anything.
Just so that you know what to expect:
1. Decent initial setting; except that you being the 8th son literally doesn't matter after ep 1.
2. Forced plot point injection to make sure MC gets OP by "coincidence". Some say this is Middle School fantasy; I say... it's "Middle School Emo kid's wet dream of conquering the world with 0 effort"
3. What characters? ... You mean waifus? They exist; though I don't recall their names, because they are just trophy waifus.
4. super lazy animation; though I guess it's not as bad as super lazy 3d animation.
5. Why am I listing more points? This is just a waste of time.

TL;DR: if you can enjoy the smartphone isekai, then give this one a try. Otherwise, don't waste your precious time.
