Story (5/10) - The isekai genre is pretty saturated, so seeing something differentiate from the generic otaku character thrown into a fantasy world as an OP protagonist who gets all the ladies is refreshing. Having the MC be the villain of the show is interesting. However, none of what she actually does is of course evil, as she is trying to avoid all her bad endings from the game. Whenever she meets a character from the game, she always gets concerned about the "doom flags" or "death flags". However, so far, all of these seemed to be resolved rather quickly without much of an issue. So far there hasn't been any real struggle or noteworthy drama, or even romance. I'm hoping things change later in the season, as it feels things are going a bit TOO smoothly. If nothing changes, it is pretty bland and forgetable.
Art (4/10) - Very subjective, but personally I am not a huge fan of this show's art direction. The backgrounds and environment aren't drawn the best, and some scenes are more noticeable than others. My biggest issue is that the artistic style of the environment is in complete contrast to the design of the characters in the show. The characters stand out and don't go together all that well with their surroundings, and it can be a bit jarring at times. Art overall isn't terrible, there are some charming scenes, but if art and animation is your selling point, this show is not for you.
Sound (7/10) - OP is a bit bland, but not terrible, the rest of the OST and then all the sound effects are pretty solid, no complaints here. I'm not a huge stickler for sound, so I'm not too harsh on it. It did however lack any memorable OST, at least so far.
Character (6/10) - The characters, although entertaining and charming, are rather bland so far. They tend to be one dimensional, largely because they are reflections of the game character's personalities. Everyone is just a bit TOO nice to each other, and there just isn't any intrigue or substance with character interactions.
Enjoyment (7/10) - Despite a generic bland storyline so far, mediocre art, and lack of meaningful character development, romance, or drama, this show is still entertaining to watch. The characters are adorable, there are some clever jokes thrown in here and there, and the premise of Catarina trying to avoid her inevitable demise keeps me hooked. It isn't deep or memorable so far, but it's a solid feel good show atm.
Overall (6/10) - If they wrap things up nicely in the season and progress with something interesting in the plot, I will probably rate it a 7/10. Currently the story and characters just aren't quite there yet.
