One of the major issues lies in the protagonist's motivations. We're told he's suicidal, with no real attachment to life, yet he still manages to push forward, explore, and interact with the world. This makes his actions feel disconnected from his supposed lack of will to live. It’s hard to buy into his journey when his nihilistic worldview doesn’t align with his willingness to keep going.
Then there's the female protagonist, whose attraction to him because of his suicidal nature feels contrived. She’s seen countless Isekai heroes, but somehow, his self-destructive outlook is what sets him apart and makes her question her entire belief system? It’s a stretch that undermines her character and feels more like a convenient plot device than genuine character development.
Overall, Isekai Shikkaku tries to break the mold, but the forced character dynamics and inconsistent motivations make it hard to take seriously. It’s an interesting experiment in the Isekai genre, but ultimately, it leaves you scratching your head more than anything else.
