The characters are one dimensional stereotypes with no personality or real growth. They lack any real charm, and are given almost zero driving motive for anything they do. This especially applies to the main characters, who consistently thinks he's weak despite it being clear he isn't, and whose only driving motive is "I want to be a hero," which for some reason means he's decided to be a soldier, which is already weird enough, because the series never really bothers giving us any emotionally gratifying reason why a soldier is the way to be a hero. If anything, soldiers are shown, in the series, as being tools of political and military conflict far more than anything positive, though they don't go down the path of exploring that either. They have a ton of characters that could be good in a well-written series, but this isn't that. They set up a whole bunch of cliche situations, but without the characters having any soul, they don't pay off. I've watched ten episodes so far, and I only found one moment even slightly funny.
The plot is just a series of events and coincidences that make no sense, are never justified, and don't build to any pay off.
Even the fights, like everything else, feels soulless. I never once felt compelled by any of the combat in the series, and struggled not to skip through it.
Even the world is inconsistent, unimaginative, and painfully underdeveloped. For example, the MC is portrayed as being super-weak for his village, so it makes sense he would struggle with the monsters in that area, but all the monsters we see when he moves to other areas overwhelm the native residents there even more than the ones we saw him struggling with near his village. That doesn't make sense. If that were the case, they'd have all been wiped out already.
There's just nothing worthwhile here. It's not even funnily bad; it's just bad.
