The most comparable anime to this one would be kunosuba, but this take on a more dark tone, with more real life and adult perspective, a bored to death adult writer one as that. As well as this is one of the few isekai that the MC is not from the present day world, but the 1900s instead, so there's also many interesting aspect in that.
Recommend for: Isekai, parody, comedy
Not recommend for, if you don't like: Isekai, Travel/journey style story
Neutral: Animation, production quality, directing
Full review:
First of all, the concept and parody itself is pretty good, funny, and unique. Since the protagonist isn't from the present day world, he find many things that's already cemented itself in isekai as normal as weird things, like concept called "stats" etc. Which in concept by itself, can already make for a pretty fun anime to watch for me, but add in with its parody nature, and the bored to death adult nature of the MC, make this even more funnier. Also the fact that the protagonist is a writer, making fun and self aware jokes to this isekai world is hella funny too. [10/10 comedy, concept]
Secondly, I will talk about the characters, pacing, directing, and world building. The few main prominent characters we have is actually fun, have good and well written story and personality, that when mixed together is very enjoyable to watch by itself, while the side character while only is single used so far, is ok and believable enough, or just a complete goof ball for the sake of the joke [9/10 characters]. The pacing is also pretty good for an isekai and as an anime in general, with average of 3-5 scene / action per episode, make for the perfect pacing for a comedy anime [10/10 pacing].
The directing and world building is pretty ok in this anime. While not too flashy, it did it job, with some above average world building and lore behind it [8/10]. The production quality is also pretty above average for an isekai, and did play well into the comedy and scenes when it's need to [9/10]. Lastly I will mention this for people that want action, there's barely in here, so don't even think of wanting one, it's just not the style of anime.
Last but not least is the message. Many people will barely even expect this, but as most comedy show do, they will always have the lurking message of the anime that will punch out the comedy and drown you with wholesomeness sometime. This anime message is pretty good and actually not one that've been in many anime much, and it also play well into the MC comedy style as well [10/10 message]
Overall, this anime doesn't have much flaws, other than if you don't click with the protag adult cast style, or the journey/travel story style,. The only concern I would left off is that the future of this anime is very shaky still, since they will need to be creative to keep this up and there's no direction toward the end goal right now. If you've watched many isekai and other anime before this, you will find this anime very enjoyable and relatable. Just enjoy it as a comedy parody relief.
My rating as Isekai comedy [9.4/10]
My rating as anime in general [8.7/10]
