So I watched through the entire series, and I don't know if that was good for me, but here's an updated review on my first one.
Convenience is the real god of this world. Every plot thing resolved Conveniently. In fact, one of the only real net positives about the show, that romantic resolution and progress eventually happens, is only because it would be more inconvenient if it didn't.

So I watched through the entire series, and I don't know if that was good for me, but here's an updated review on my first one.
Convenience is the real god of this world. Every plot thing resolved Conveniently. In fact, one of the only real net positives about the show, that romantic resolution and progress eventually happens, is only because it would be more inconvenient if it didn't.
And Convenience is the absolute power in this show. Nothing, not even the overpowered isekai protagonist himself, may stand in its way for even one second.
This show is astonishingly pure and uncompromising. Not one single time does it ever pretend to be anything other than what it is. I mean, the title by itself is like a loud, proud proclamation. And in a sense, I can really respect the show just coming out and saying 'look, we're This.'
What is it, then? This show is stupid, of a level rarely seen. It surpasses normal light novel adaptation levels of stupid. I mean, what did you expect? The title alone is your tip-off. The very premise, the series summary you get in the sidebar, tells you exactly how worthless this show is going to be. Right?
Yeah. Kinda.
This show has no stakes, no drama, no conflict of any kind. Everything goes well for the main characters, everything. Forever. It's to the point where I find it absolutely hilarious, because I've simply never, ever, not once, seen fiction written like this.
Well, I've seen one kind of fiction written like this where there's no actual conflict or complications, but that kind of fiction is not safe for work, or this website. They fill in the need for Interest, which is normally filled by plot conflict or character drama or stakes, with something else people really like instead.
This series legitimately reads like they took a NSFW story like a doujin or VN, and just removed the lewd elements.
If you want to know what bothered me about the protagonist, then watch Konosuba's opening scenes.
Actually, wait. Just go watch Konosuba instead.
This show highlights the extreme disconnect that can happen between a person's judgement of a show's quality, and their enjoyment of watching it. I think this show is dumb, but it's happy, it's pleasant, and I need happy and pleasant things in my life. I could and will find much better happy things to fill my time, but I can't deny this is fun so far.
This is probably the most positive two-star review ever.
