This is another isekai story to throw on the pile. Now as a person who desperately wants to not live in this crazy upside-down world that we live in now, I tend to enjoy isekai stories. Unfortunately this one fell off the top of the bad idea tree and hit every branch on the way down.

This is another isekai story to throw on the pile. Now as a person who desperately wants to not live in this crazy upside-down world that we live in now, I tend to enjoy isekai stories. Unfortunately this one fell off the top of the bad idea tree and hit every branch on the way down.
Sometimes I break things up into categories to illustrate what is good and what is bad, but all of this show is bad, and I just need to get it out.
For starters, our hero is the standard cardboard cutout isekai hero. He's in another world, all of the girls love him for no apparent reason, and he spends all of his time doing nice things because he's entire character description is that he is a nice guy. His magical power is that his cellphone battery lasts for an eternity, he still has access to wikipedia, and I guess he doesn't have to pay his data plan. He ends up in a magical world based on norse mythology, and for reasons that are never really explained he becomes the leader of the wolf clan. For those of you thinking "Wait, isn't a big wolf the harbinger of Ragnarok in norse mythology?" you're right, but you're also thinking harder than this show does, because that's never going to come up.
From there he uses his magical wikipedia powers to win battles and gobble up neighbouring countries (which of course earns him new members to his growing harem), but he does so in the super nice guy "Lets all be friends" sort of way. He also invents a school system and single-handedly defeats racism and dismantles a cast system. You know, the sorts of things that get leaders stabbed in back by all of the nobles directly under them in history.
Meanwhile, back on earth, he's having phone calls with his childhood best friend, who apparently sent him to the magical world through a mirror? I put a question mark there because that seems like a thing that this show should have opened with. It definitely didn't. I don't remember when it first came up that he had been sent there through a mirror, but it was much later than it should have been.
In short. The plot is a total mess, all of the characters are shallow tropes, the world-building seems pretty shallow and weak, and even the battles are pretty lacklustre. It seems like the sort of show that would run around with an ecchi tag, and it doesn't even deliver on that promise. There is nothing of value to be found here, and it truly is not worth your time.
