The Isekai genre may have its most frustratingly mundane anime yet. This lighthearted story revolves around a super strong male protagonist living in a MMORPG type world with an envious amount of female admirers. An inspired concept!
Unoriginality aside, I am addicted to these exact settings in anime. But unlike the others in the genre, such as "Rising of the Shield Hero", "How Not to Summon a Demon Lord", "Wise Man's Grandchild" and even "SAO", the overpowered character does practically nothing with his level 200+, unlimited skill points and "Watch Dogs" type surveillance powers in a world where a Demon Lord is only level 70. He doesn't even use his holy swords. Yes! Plural!
Although his double digit amount of female companions don't know the true extent of his power, it's not a plot point. In fact, I don't think this has a plot. He doesn't try to search for evil enemies, doesn't go on quests, doesn't try to get back to Japan, doesn't even do merchant stuff although claiming 5 times an episode he's a merchant. I guess a positive from that is they don't have any plot holes...
Nevertheless, I enjoyed it. Much like One Punch Man this story follows more of the day to day lives of the characters and their friendships. The major difference is that this show has minimal anticipation, mediocre pay offs and the main character basically pretends to be a nobody.
