Reception

Danica Davidson of Otaku USA liked the main protagonist, Yuta. Davidson felt the story had some tropes common in isekai works, but she also felt that it was fast-paced and flowed well.[17] Renee Scott of School Library Journal liked the story and characters and was interested in seeing how the story progresses.[1] Rebecca Silverman of Anime News Network felt the story had a lot of tropes common in isekai works, but nonetheless enjoyed it, stating that she "[found] it easy to keep reading".[9] Jean-Karlo Lemus of the same website described the series as "Broken Blade, but with the usual isekai twists" and praised the story, though he criticized the title.[9]
