Just a little fyi. This show is a abomination of a parody. It really would have been much show had it not gone this route. I'm at episode 10 and I was wondering why my enthusiasm for this show has been steadily dwindling for reasons other then 7 episodes of training. It's the parody aspect. If your like me and your enjoyment is largely based on the likeability of the mc and the fun of seeing them achieve feats, get stronger, finally get the girl... well thats shit isn't going to happen here. If those things are what compel you to watch a show you will be sorely disappointed. Luciel is the biggest joke with zero punchline. He will make little to no progress and when he does he will be belittled. His talent for magic which should be applauded once again is a source of ridicule for basically everyone. The girls? Yeah you may be misled into thinking that must happen only for them to hit you with a gay joke in the post credits. He says the dumbest shit and acts equally as foolish. I'll say it again, this would have been such a better experience had it been a more serious telling. The isekai based on a healer that has no innate talent was a good concept, as was the state of the healers guild being corrupt. IT COULD HAVE BEEN SO GOOD!!!!

Just a fyi please remember when starting this show its basically a whole show making fun of the mc so don't get your hopes up beyond that.

It's just my opinion... but the first label in the description of the series is comedy, starting to watch this series expecting a dramatic adventure is in itself a mistake.

I hope you find series to your liking in the next season.
For my part, I really enjoyed that this series had the pace it had.

SPOILER ALERT...
He completed a labyrinth that had not been completed for hundreds of years, he killed a dragon, he reached the S rank and he has two girls completely surrendered to him... in addition to laying the foundations to make a complete radical change in the new world in which he reincarnated, in just 4 years.

I don't know what else to expect from a 12 episode series. For my part, I hope for a continuation, if that is not the case, I will go to the base material because I found it very interesting. I would like more series to have this pace.
But as I mentioned at the beginning, it is my opinion and I have no intention of offending anyone with it.

I think you need to look up what parody means before throwing it around. There was probably a more appropriate word you could've used.

I agree with you. I couldn't figure out what type of show it was. It could even do without being a Isekai. Luciel could of been from the middle of nowhere and it would of been the same thing.

I partially agree, the training times were too stretched. Training ate up too much of the theoretically possible main story, if the training parts were shorter.

About the comdy part: Well, the Anime is labled as comedy genre. And let's be honest: He is being beaten up by an instructor everyone is usually avoiding and he is drinking Substance X. Even the rotten undead is running away from the stench of Substance X. I guess these facts are reason enough for the citizens in this anime, to behave rather light-hearted towards the MC. The MC being a dork, gives the people the feeling of him being one of them. - But yes, that aside, I agree. The Comedy part was boring and unnecessary to be honest.

And even if I didn't really like that awkward plot twist, we finally found out why the MC could not level up above Lvl 1.

This anime reminded me a little bit of "Okashi na Tensei". Title and synopsis promised the anime to be more about cooking, but there was close to none cooking. Seija Musou was similar: Title and synopsis promised it to be more about healing. But it felt like healing was a byproduct, which was kind of disappointing. Guess it was the stretched scenes about training and dungeon crawling, which ate up too much of the healer-part.

About the getting-stronger part: I kinda liked it, that the MC was not extremely overpowered. This anime basically told us: Let's make him OP in healing, but sacrifice his leveling and love-drive. So... a fantasy/isekai anime, where the MC is not fully OP. But at the same time, it was ridiculous, how he could beat the whole labyrinth. Even the Valkyres couldn't do anything. So, if MC was supposed to be not that OP, why was he actually indeed OP even in fighting. Yes, his fighting technics sucked, but looks like it was enough to beat even enemies, where his holy magic wasn't working. So, why weren't, for exmaple, the Valkyrs not enough to conquer the labyrinth? That logic didn't make sense. And about why his magic power was not acknowledged: Majority of citizens hate healers, because they charge too much money. Any healer is labled as corrupt in this anime. So, how should a citizen even know what healing magic is considered really high rank and what not, when most citizens never went to clinics, because of the high prices? So, normal people seem to have no idea about healing-magic powers. The only ones acknowledging him, were the one who knew about how strong his powers were, like Cattleya or the Pope.

But all in one, it was surprisingly enjoyable for me on a "slightly above-average" level. Though, calling it an Isekai was not really needed, as the user Moppit already mentioned. It was actually just fantasy. Since Isekai means for me, that the MC makes use of his initial world's knowledge. But that was completely ignored. I suppose that's caused by the still lasting Isekai-Hype: Any just-fantasy anime seems to have a forced Isekai-like beginning, which becomes totally unnecessary during the anime. Feels like the genre "Isekai" just turned into a bait-genre, because most Fantasy-Isekai Animes never actually needed the Isekai-part to exist.
