Finally Shin is reunited with Schnee. Her back-breaking pouting is so adorable.

We still don't know why the monsters become so strong suddenly. Maybe it is not just a plot convenience and we'll get to the reason eventually?

Shin still wants to log out and return to the real world. There is also something about a promise?

Shin's blacksmith skill is so great that he's still famous after 500 years.

Poor Tiera, forgotten and did not get a mention.

I am glad the author of the original light novel got their story animated. If this story had been published before either Overlord (2010) or Sword Art Online (2002), then the story would have been groundbreaking. However, the only main advantages this show has over other isekai is the lack of any spiciness, beyond the usual smattering of damsels in distress and a blushing pair of twins. Everyone seems chaste, honorable, and hard-working. No sign of any harem development in sight. There does not even seem to be any political antagonist or obvious grievances against the status quo. The most likely source of conflict seems to be MCʼs overpowered state, yet the author has made him successful in keeping that off the plot table for now. Instead of Overlord's murderous menagerie of a sexually frustrated succubus, underage loli vampire, skin-harvesting demon, etc., we have an elf maid, an elf, and a fox. Nothing complicated.

It feels like a television program designed by a public morals committee that I would show my conservative grandmother to fool her into allowing me to see more interesting shows.

Edit: dropped the series as of episode 8. Animation did not get better.
