Mixed Feelings
I really wanted to like this, though after watching it through it simply left me annoyed. The story, characters, and comedy felt overly reliant on the time it was created and as such wasn't satisfying. In that way, the parody and subversion of the isekai genre were done for their own sake and put ahead of everything else, making for a fairly incohesive show.

The comedy sometimes landed. What dragged it down was how simplistic and repetitive it was. The initial subversion of the characters being capable with one thing but otherwise useless with everything else was momentarily funny and interesting, though as it played out it proved to severely limit the progression of the characters' development as well as the story in general. It's not good when what was once only for a moment funny quickly becomes stale and subsequently gets in the way of everything else. More than that, it's ironic that the tropes of isekai that are subverted end up leading the show into its own tropes... which makes it almost infuriating since generic isekai tropes at least allow for growth whereas in this show everything has everything stagnant. The whole premise of the MC being at rock-bottom as opposed to overpowered has potential, but the show is stubborn in keeping him at rock-bottom and that's just not satisfying to see. And again, the other characters are stuck being one-note in their subversive nature. Because they're all so exaggeratedly ridiculous there are no interesting interactions, and none of the characters feel close to each other. Since there's no chemistry between the characters, I'm left wondering why they even stick together. Really, it's worse, and I'm left desperately wanting them to leave each other alone because they frequently don't get along and they haven no reason to.

Overall, it's unsatisfying.
