I've been waiting for this one to get an anime! It proves that isekai works in a sci fi environment.

Nice, i took a break after vol 2 and kept telling myself to continue each time a new volume came out, the coming anime will be a good motivation.

Obligatory trigger warning:

spoiler[This is another title where the main dude sleeps with all the girls. The first girl he buys as a slave and the 2nd he pays off her debts so she feels obligated to sleep with him. To his credit he's not a perv who buys them because he wants to sleep with them, but he doesn't refuse when offered.]

But it's nice to get isekaied into a sci-fi setting instead of a fantasy one.

I find the novels underwhelming. "Isekai, but EVE Online" is exactly the thing I would enjoy, but the character (or more accurately his ship) is so OP that there's no tension to the fight scenes, and there are no villain characters that you want to see get curb-stomped, just faceless mooks who go from over-confident to dead in two pages. If you're going to do this type of series, it should be about some some genius strategist like Log Horizon in space.

I've heard good things about this series! Isekai Sci-Fi Harem for the win!

I've also heard the protagonist actually engages in sex, so I wonder if that will also make it into the anime?

Spreadsheet updated.

Quote:
Ryūto began serializing the original story on the Shōsetsuka ni Narō (Let's Become Novelists) website in February 2019, where it is still ongoing. Kadokawa published the first volume in print in July 2019, with illustrations by Tetsuhiro Nabeshima.


Not the fastest turnaround -- even by 2019, six Narou novels had gotten published faster, just counting the ones on my spreadsheet -- but still pretty damn fast. There are any number of more recent WNs that took over a year to make it into print.

And I feel obliged to add that I'm listening to the audiobooks but the MC is a bit of a creep. This series is one of the wish fulfilments where the guy is loved by all the women, is super powerful and the target of jealousy. The biggest concern here is the introduction of the stereotypical polar opposites, this time being dwarven twins that are mechanics on his ship. It's the usual, older than they look but they absolutely look like lolis. spoiler[ After wearing him down, he does eventually sleep with them.][/spoiler]
