This one's good, I've been reading the novels. I do have to wonder how they will handle all the internal monologue in the books, even the manga only managed that aspect at best so-so?

It's one of the few 'mature' mainstream novels within isekai, but the manga bowdlerized it, wonder which one the anime will take after, though if it's only 13 episodes it might not even get to that point in the first place...

Yes, I really hope they don't skip about all the secondary character development scenes and monologue like the manga (which is still better than most isekai adaptation manga) in the anime.

In this case he really is, even though he interacts with others from time to time, most of the story is about him trying to solve problems on his own.

He literally has a 'loner' skill, if I remember right he gets weaker if he isn't acting alone...

Apparently from what I've heard on social media about this series is that the manga is the more faithful adaptation of the original web novels. I can't verify this however.

I doubt it. From what I've heard and read, in the original webnovel he has more xxx with more girls and more earlier than in the reworked light novel. Manga simply omits all that, and also pretty much all of the monologue(which I kind of understand as it would be difficult to depict in manga form). And as Yune Amagiri already hinted, the manga also skips a lot of the stuff and events in the novel, or at least what was in the light novel, like much of the dungeon exploring(I can confirm this as novel reader).
And even so, the baseline should be the light novel, not the webnovel.

Seems like it could be a fun, interesting, series.

Is there any romance?

I used to read the web novel for a while in addition to the manga and LN and no, the manga isn't closer to the WN than the LN, like most of such adaptations, the manga is based on the commercial version reworked , the LN plot and not WN plot, the difference between LN and the manga is, as said earlier, that the mangaka skipped about all interludes scenes where the protagonist is not present which serve to develop the others characters and most of his monologue, other than that they are mostly the same.

There is some romance but it takes a long time to reach this point, prior to that it's subtle enough that it can be overlooked, this aspect shouldn't matter during the anime length.

Article is a bit wrong. Or at least mislead. Haruka receives a whole lot of cheat skills. The skills seem like garbage, but Haruka figures out how to make them awesome.

But I wonder if it is going to be based on the light novel or the manga. Because the light novel is a lot more racy than the manga. And Haruka is more of a troll and a cloud cookoolander in the light novels.

The title of this series sounds like it, to me, would describe the stereotypical anime, manga, or LN fan were they isekai'd.

Haruka's case goes beyond just mere introvert, autistic would be an apt description...

Yeah, it will be interesting to see how they adapt the series for anime. Hopefully the humor of things will be carried over.
