What dog_eater said. It's basically a wish fulfillment fantasy for people who sympathize with middle aged fat failures who were done dirty by life, but failed no matter how hard they tried. I would say the empathetic types that like rags to riches stories.

That said, while I haven't watched the Anime, I kept up with the manga for a while and it devolves into your typical magical isekai harem tropes, with some (real) drama mixed in sometimes. Then it devolves into a "let's go to magic high school" series of tropes, at which point I dropped it.

More innovative in some ways than similar stories, but not to the point where I'd say it's a must watch.
