The main woman in this series is strong, both physically and mentally. She has an attitude that many men would think is too tough. But, much like Tsunade in Naruto, she's sexy enough to make it work.
Story: A pretty typical story, it's isekai. But the writing is really good. The author is creating a serious and fairly dark world, but at the same time he adds some humor to make sure it's not too dark (Goblin Slayer), while also not being too fun and happy (Konsosuba), this story is trying to have a more realistic side. Shit happens, but you can still have a good life.
This author is writing in a way that if you have never played a survival game before, it's probably a bit hard to understand. He is diving deep into the whole "survival game" genre rather than just fantasy. The point is that if you don't know survival game terminology, this might be a bit hard to enjoy. For me, I keep thinking of Conan Exiles, some people might think of Minecraft or Rust.
And even though it is about the standard "Japanese man arrives to save a people being unfairly attacked" kind of plot, it still feels fresh. The relationship between two main characters, along with the overall world building makes for an interesting read. Even if you are goddamn tired of isekai, some of these are actually good. It's rare, hard to believe, borderline insane, but it happens. If you like the authors style of writing, it's a nice entertaining story. "I quietly looked toward the lizard-wolf. Our eyes met. Unfortunately, we didn't fall in love."
Art: The art is pretty generic. The character designs are good and definitely make the characters look original. But the color art have very boring tones, it's not detailed enough to make the covers stand out. The black'n white looks nice, but the contrast is too dark. Sexy girl, pretty boy, good enough.
Characters: This author creates characters that I always like. So I might be biased here. Anyway, *cough* The male protagonist is a bit different, he has a very sarcastic mentality that makes this story less about being strong and badass, but more about being the only calm person around. The unimportant characters are usually pretty enjoyable and there's never any really annoying a-holes. The protagonist himself has a thought process that I can relate to as a reader, he's a good dude that is never too unstable. Even when he might be lynched he remains cool as a snowman. The woman is love-able if you like strong women.
Overall: Let's be honest. Many isekai are garbage. And this one probably isn't that great. But I like the author's style. I like the characters attitudes. I like the world written on these pages. Masterpiece? No. But people love McDonalds even though their hamburgers are not exactly the best. And people love isekai even though the story is not always the best. Why? We just like the quick and easy things that you can find without really looking. It's just the way it is. So. Isekai fan? Give this story a try. If you don't like this delicious McDonalds-quality garbage you can go read Harry Popper instead.
Now then, the question you all want to ask. Any sex? Yes. There is sex in the book. Praise the Lord.
