I read the manga till the graduation part. and I still hold the opinion that the anime is doing far better if we're comparing apples to apples. I've said it before, but why is our OP MC acting like a helpless damsel in distress? why concern herself with your spoilered tidbit when she can just flatten countries easily if she so wanted?

I also hear some people saying the manga/novel goes downhill from here. I hope this anime would save what the novel failed to accomplish at.

Seeing Melie in a maid outfit doing moe moe routines was really cute and her marking out at the rock monster's transformation was hilarious. She really is a closet otaku. Pauline is best girl because she reminds me of a younger version of Momako from Okaa-san online. It seems Reina has blood on her hands from killing people in her past.

I don't know about the manga, but there's no way in hell the anime is doing better than the novels. That's ludicrous.

Our OP MC isn't acting like a helpless damsel in distress, but just read the title for why she's not going around flattening countries. She concerns herself with smaller, normal stuff because that's the entire damn point: she just wants to be normal/average. It's not as though she's doing anything different in the anime, so I'm not sure what point you're trying to make here.

Downhill? Well, it has its ups and downs, but I wouldn't say it went downhill. I certainly have no hope that the anime will do anything better.

...The worst part about the novel was the translation. The second team who picked it up ruined it completely. The novel was much better, with plenty of details and far less stupid fluff that makes these girls look like retards. It was also obviously way more coherent, but here nothing really makes sense as they're dumbing down a novel that wasn't that smart in the first place.

Honestly, it's entirely watchable, but this anime is nothing but a 5/10, or a 7/10 with the inflated myanimelist score. They took the source material and stomped all over it, dumbing it down into yet another cliché cute girls doing cute things anime, with slight additions of forced drama and edgy behavior that doesn't click properly because it's forcibly inserted thanks to them skipping a lot of stuff and changing the entire style and plenty of jokes.

Still, I dropped the novel not only because the horrible translator team(known to be one of the worst ones out there, the translator is immersion breaking, petty and sucks at translating in general and most people just wished for her to drop it), I also dropped it because of how stupid it could be. While it was more mature and "clever" than this even more dumbed down anime, there was too many illogical things happening. Her repeated attempts at being ordinary just to screw it up was funny at first but quickly becomes tiresome. As if that wasn't enough, like we see in this episode, they don't kill humans. Despite discussing the necessity of it and the quest being about eliminating the bandits, they just let them live. I ABSOLUTELY HATE IT WHEN A MC LETS TROUBLESOME/EVIL PEOPLE LIVE FOR NO REASON. It's asking for trouble, these people will keep on doing evil shit and ruin people's lives, killing a lot of people in the future. Guess what? All of that is your fault if you let them go. You're the reason all of those future people will be killed, raped and stolen from. You had the chance and knowledge to make the decision to end their lives and protect everyone, but you didn't do it, instead acting like a goody two-shoes. It's quite honestly disgusting behavior from entitled self-righteous hypocrites. It's enough to drop a novel for. Only in a gag/comedy novel where nothing bad will happen and the enemy did nothing big could it be justified to let people like that go, but not here.

Made me want to spit in their faces when they scolded her and got mad because she was "about to kill someone". Get real.

I'd like to direct these morons to read the novel "Reverend Insanity". Perhaps they'll learn a little bit about the dirtiness of humans and the necessity to do what you can to survive and protect your own interests, learning how to remove weeds ahead of time instead of letting them grow to be a nuisance. Of course that novel is kind of hardcore and a bit exaggerated, but the basic idea is there. I've grown weary of these japanese muppet mcs pretending that they're holier-than-thou and that killing is such a horrible sin. If killing a few horrible people can save hundreds of decent people, how is that even a choice? No isekai/otherworld world is the same as earth, laws don't apply properly and taking justice into your own hands isn't just something you could do if you wanted to, it's a god damn necessity to ensure your own and the safety of of everyone around you.

Still won't stop me from enjoying this anime by skipping all annoying parts and just taking a look at the funnier ones. But really, let's all agree on that "mercy" and "kindness" aren't always virtues, they're personality flaws if it means sparing villains and endangering everyone around you.
