Mind numbingly dull and boring. It's a problem that happens when you make a character that's just OP, and you're not good enough at writing to actually not fall flat with writing an OP character. So there's never really a moment when you wonder to yourself, "I wonder if he'll make it out of this bind?", which just kind of turns it stale. Then again, this was one of the "first" isekais, so I can cut it some slack. *(Reason for the qoutation marks being that the concept of "isekai" (ie. Being transported to another world / dimension.) has been around in literature for quite some time. By first I meant that it was one of the first isekais that was published around the time isekais really started getting popular.)* But, *why in gods name are there mechas*.
