This show is kinda bad.
First, the upsides:
Now, the downsides, or, rather, the downside, singular: This show craps the bed in the second half. But not anywhere close to a funny, Charlotte-style trainwreck, it just fails to deliver on anything it has set up. It is boring, boring, boring, boring, boring. The majority of the second half is a castle raid that another review aptly compares to the Chimera Ant arc of Hunter x Hunter. But unlike the Chimera Ant arc, which makes sense for the most part, Ousama Ranking's raid is nonsensical, with unclear character motivations, party loyalties constantly changing at the drop of a hat, tedious backstory loredumps, everybody sobbing constantly, and boring-ass fights. The intrigue from the first half is followed up on, but in a very unsatisfying way. I stopped caring in the slightest what happened to any of the characters. Everything drags and drags and drags, and when it finally ends the ending is boring too. The second half (or so) of this show was so tedious to get through that it has completely eclipsed any positive feelings I had toward the first half. I would rather have read 10 cookie cutter isekai power fantasy manga back-to-back than engage with this. Jesus Christ.
My recommendation: Avoid completely, because the first half will probably suck you in and make you feel obligated to finish, like I was. Not worth your valuable time.
