This series is far better than I expected. I began reading it because someone posted a couple of the more wholesome pages on reddit, so I had totally different expectations.
This is an isekai series, but we don't follow the isekai character. Instead we follow the original heroine, who has a major personality shift when she receives parts of an isekaied Earth person's memories (and, possibly, parts of her personality? I expect that'll be explored down the line) Which means from the get-go we know people have isekaied to this world at various times. But our MC is not one of them.
This series so far has at least 2 very bad-ass characters, and fortunately our MC is one of them.
The world-building is great. There's some litrpg but we're also told fairly early 'the numbers can be misleading, don't trust them'. And the way that skills like appraise are picked up are interesting and feel organic.
The world as a whole feels very organic, possibly because we're following a native.
This series is dark. It's dark fantasy, frequent action, occasional bits of levity and even wholesomeness. Many great and interesting characters
The art is perfect. I'm very tempted to NOT read the novels (I suspect we're up to book 2 of novels in adaptation) and just wait for this manga to continue (it's been licensed) .
I also frankly expect an anime adaptation of this in the coming years, because it's that good.
This series also has very precocious child characters, at least 4 so far, but in the world it feels very logical, as they each have their reasons (well, the most recent one isn't explained, yet). Kinda like Ender's Game, in a way.
