Honestly, as someone who would describe myself as a loner, this isekai was a pretty simple read. And the idea is pretty well thought out cause the MC isn't anti-social. It's not like they cant deal with other people. Its just they more often prefer to work on their own and go at their own pace.

One of the more relatable things the MC will do that really resonated with me is when approached to do something, he will first try to politely refuse, then if pressed will join along and seem to enjoy it, only to just slip away when everyone else is distracted or having fun. And it's not because he wasn't having fun or anything, its just he wanted to do something else and didn't feel comfortable asking anyone else to join him or go with him. And so that's something that resonated with me

So if you feel like you are also someone who feels like a bit of a loner, this will be a nice easy watch.

I do not know what to make of the promo stuff. The promo art screams of a love hina style unwanted harem, the promo video is going for traditional op ostracised hero (including seemingly people looking down on him and the mc giving an evil smile during trouble), and the interview gives a more standard forumula, what makes him unique is the same sense that half the isekai main character have of solidarity and solve all the problems without consulting on or relying on others, but they all depend on him anyway.

I will commend the series on one thing, it certainly has the advertising chops to get itself noticed among all the other isekai coming out.
