I have done a whole video review on this. If you feel like it, you can see that from my profile.
Now to elaborate on my earlier point.
Story - 6
If you haven't experienced the concept of time loops in media before you will have a good time, it's a genuinely fun shtick and the manga even improves a bit on that. Our main guy has to do a bunch of mini-quests (get better equipment etc.) to help him escape for the time loop and in that it kinda feels like a roguelike. But apart from that neat idea, everything is pretty standard and generic with a few plotholes for spice.
Art - 8
Now, this is tricky since there are some GORGEOUS pages in here but at the same time, most of this looks very plain and uninspired. By that, I don't mean it's not good it is always presented in a very professional way... which sadly is very generic on its own (r u seeing the pattern?). Still gets an 8 for those amazing spreads tho.
Characters - 7
Even if the time was very limited the 2 main characters were very well presented and really had something... that didn't last long and wasn't properly expanded upon. But again since they were able to make them so personable in 17 chapters this is a pretty big achievement if you ask me. Side characters don't really feel like characters they feel like checkpoints but that's pretty understandable and I don't hold it against the manga. But the broad with the glasses was annoying and that I hold against the manga.
Enjoyment - 7
While I was reading this it was very engaging for what it was. And even after I started thinking and realized this was very very shallow I still didn't feel like I was robbed of my time or anything. I am glad I read this.
Overall - 5
However, after I reflected on this whole thing I can't be honest and give it anything more than a 6 and that's on a good day the rest of the time this is perfect "Mediocre". I believe that is because this is an adaptation of a novel and most things simply weren't properly adapted.
If you are bored have free 30 minutes you can read this and who knows maybe you will like it more than I did (but if you got this far into the review you probably won't... sorry about that).
