[Pieter · Rating 3 out of 5]

Fairly typical isekai with an OP protagonists from the start to the point that he places multiple seals on his own strength to make it workable. It also comes with the typical harem (no slaves for the moment), and a dash of demi-human discrimination and its associated tropes. Characters are flat, and one of the female elves is depicted as a tad young to be in a harem, although tbf nothing actually happens in this volume. 2.5 stars rounded up, mid, but not so bad it became difficult to finish.

a solid entry to this genre

This was a pretty quick read. That means the characters and the story held my interest. I look forward to number 2.
