Pretty much just like every other harem isekai. Guy travels to another world, guy gets op-power, guy meets girl, girl immediately falls for guy, guy builds harem.

IIt detracts from the usual overpowered MC going around peacocking and using his powers trope in that it's a slice of life. Instead of slaying demons, getting betrayed, forming a party, taking over a kingdom, it is (so far) focused on just peaceful life and his wife. Yes, the guy got a wife on the first f*cking day. I can't even...

Really an under-rated story. It may be more like a four-star story to tell the truth, but I'm biasing the review total up to counteract trolling. Upper tier translation quality for Novel Updates, as a native English speaker I'm pleased to find no disruptive grammar and the text even has a sense of prose. The story has slower slice of life pacing, a re-birth story about a middle-aged guy for middle age people. It isn't aimless though, a guy discovering a new world step by step and mastering what he... more>> needs to know to stay alive and fund his second chance at romance, adventure, and family. The story is pretty new, and there seems to be no rush to force growth on the MC, but I'm sure he'll be taking on bigger issues soon enough. Younger people that don't want to read about middle age folks having relationships should probably avoid this story, don't screw up the ratings just because you haven't been in somebody else's shoes. Believe me, time is coming for you, too. <<less

It seems very relaxed slow paced and down to earth unlike other OP isekai novels to be honest.

Yes the MC has the potential to be an OP bad ass with the skills he has but it doesn't look like the MC is the type to do that though. So as of c17 I can't say it's bad or cliche.

Accidental wife doesn't equal harem and even if it turns into a harem I'm willing to forgive some clichés as long as the story isn't horrible.

As far as I know it's not a harem. It should be a harem - harems are accepted in this world and other women will show interest - but for some reason he'll stay loyal to the first woman he sees. Normally that wouldn't be a bad thing, but she's okay with the idea of a harem and he mostly just likes her because she's cute. I didn't buy his reasoning for rejecting girl #2 (he could have come up with a better argument). It has all the depth of... more>> a harem novel with none of the actual harem.

Aside from that, it's just a laid-back slice of life story of some overweight salaryman finding himself in a fantasy world and is just OP enough that he can succeed at anything he wants to do. It sets itself apart from the million other novels in that the protagonist goes out of his way to avoid a harem, and there's hope that the romance will be a little more fulfilling than most isekai. Just hope, so far.

I dropped it because it goes out of its way to set up a harem situation, then has the main character decide "No, I'll stick with villager A because she's the first girl I met". I'm rating it a 3 because if it didn't go to that trouble, I'd probably still be reading this otherwise OK isekai. <<less
