While I enjoyed this series but that doesnt change the fact that I have problems with it as a whole.
Standard wish fulfillment fantasy as its most ridiculous and garish. An isekai whose only gimmick is lost after the fifth chapter and relies on the standard OP main character in a world that relies on the RPG magic system so common nowadays. But what the series lacks in strong or original storytelling it makes up for in comedic relief and cartoonish satire that you cant help but laugh at. The art and expressions are this series saving grace. It doesnt take itself seriously and expects the reader to laugh along while enjoy the ride.
The MC while lacking many of the usual heroic qualities or charm that one would expect from this type of series is selfaware to understand that his powers push him further and further from his own humanity which causes no end to the comedic relief. The side characters arent nearly impressive Im afraid. The gorilla character seen on the cover loses all agency and personality after her transformation into human eye candy also seen on the cover. The same is true for the rest of the female companions that join the MC. Any personality they once had is sucked dry after the MC wins their hearts which is quite problematic for a story whose plot lacks any nuance creativity or originality. The remainder of the cast could best be described as manic caricatures who only exist for easy laughs and briefly antagonize the MC. The transformations themselves are some of the most ridiculous and unnecessary aspects of the series aside from the original gorilla girl.
The demons who are cast as the antagonists of the story are more sensible and relatable than the human characters and rightly so if you take into account the theme of the series. Unfortunately the brief instances they are either mentioned or shown are quickly cast aside to return to the MCs continuing antics. Then you have the overbearing human enemies who lack any subtly in their actions or attitudes that it is hard to take them seriously as villains or people. The remaining cast of students summoned from Earth are left to not only fend for themselves but get so little screen time that it makes you question why they were summoned along with the MC aside from a vague story beat farther down the line. The one relatable and likable student is only a shadow of her potential that the reader is slowly introduced to but hard to remember exists.
While the series is enjoyable for some lazy afternoon reading it does nothing to separate or standout from the rest of the wishfullment isekai subgenre aside from its cartoonish art style and jokes.
