This isekai was one of those I figured I might check out but definitely wasn't high up in my go to- list. I was again suggested to check this out by a source and so I grabbed hold of the manga and started reading. At first the manga was a huge mixed bag. I thought it was overly detailed in it's nature but then again sometimes I thought the cave chapter definitely had clever scenes and bits. And the B plot was not getting me at all at first. It was like watching bad fantasy high school plot and then jumping to the spider smahing everybody in the cave. And whenever the spider came to the screen I was relieved (even thought it had it's ups and downs) cause something worthy is probably going to happen.
Post cave/grind plot was easily the best portion of the series. Whenever I saw the spider from other people's pov I remember saying: "That's some good shit" multiple times. The little scenes from the demons were also worth while but the B- plot definitely in the anime was so unnecessarely long and painful to watch, since I couldn't really care about any of the characters. But the spider and demons popping up was always what I was waiting for. At the closing episodes I did saw some small improvement in the B- plot front and I hope that it continues in the future. And good god the CGI was bad at the battle scenes. And I thought some of the Overlord CGI was bad, nope this shit was far worse.
But yes I still thought even if the B- plot made my brain melt sometimes, that the anime is worth while even if the starting cave part can be overly long and detailed. There is certainly scenes with the spider that will make up some of the worse shit you are seeing time to time. Also the world building having demons and they still being in the shadows gives little extra anticipation for the upcoming stuff. But I do have to say the elves scenes were quite odd and made me question quite bit of stuff. Like what kind of stuff is canon and what's not, it was weird to say the least, I am eagerly waiting explanations for some of the scenes (as I haven't read the LN). So in one hand I really enjoyed bunch of stuff about the world building, definitely some of the characters are really interesting (but some aren't). Quite the mixed bag where I think the good beats the bad (atleast for now). And there was definitely some aspects which I disliked just because I think some tropes are maybe overly used or they could have just not done something. (Just for example I just think the leveling systems are so unnecessary in so many isekais, they could just not do them and atleast I would be happy). The plot problems also were mostly my own dislikings and not actual plotholes. I think it's more that I have seen so many well developed plotlines that gives more clever ways to know what has happened in the past and is this thing something to be afraid of --- but here there's that sometimes and other times you might be rolling your eyes quite often.
