I am new here and I can tell that this is not going to good relationship between chat and reviewer. As far as the political angle is concerned I think it is impossible to make an animated series with enough detail to satisfy everyone because, in politics, detail is everything.
There just isn't time or money to be made for One Piece levels of detail in animated politics since it is not profitable for the bean counters in Japan in addition to the possibility that you influence political discourse in your country if your series does become a hit and that doesn't fly for the people who are quite comfy with being in power. I can go on about how I disagree with the reviewer about the politics of the series working in world (which is as much as you can ask for in political anime).
But that Souma is some Gary Sue is a cheap shot that only gaslights fans of the series. Isekai is a genre chocked full of Sue-type characters because it is used by Japan as an escape/coping mechanism because many people in Japan and around the world are dissatisfied with daily life right now. Anyway, I hope we can keep disagreements civil.
