I'll get straight into the review.
This is from my own perspective so some differences in opinion could happen. Please take this as a grain of salt.

Story: 8
Although the story could arguably be a bit boring for some readers who enjoy reading Isekai that is surrounded with level ups, adventures and non-stop actions, I find this story to be somewhat of a new turn over and a pretty enjoyable one to say at the least. Not spoiling most of the story part, it is about a worker who was summoned to another world in order to work as an envoy or a diplomat to communicate ... with different tribes so that they could join the Demon king army. Because this is happening in another world, the story seems so fresh from other mangas with similar tropes. As this manga incorporates other worldly magic and different perspectives from different creatures be a variable to the negotiations that the office worker does. Also not forgetting some punch lines and jokes, I find this to be at least a chill book to read through whenever I get tired of other Isekais.

Art: 8
Not the best, but not the worst. For a comedic humorous type of manga, the art style is fitting. It is not as great as other art styles such as Inuyashiki where everything is a bit more detailed. But it is not to blend like the 'Early Shingeki No Kyojin' where the author has stated his artwork to be pretty bad during the early times due to being new to his pen. Overall, the artwork fits to the comedic value and storyline, but when comparing it to other mangas only with art, it would be falling off a bit.

Character: 6-7
The type of character you would see in other isekais and we have the bit of a different characteristics from the other tribe lords and etc but well overall, the story tries to spin off the blend characteristic constantly copy + pasted isekai MCs and FMCs to become a new story part so welll, its all good.
[Honestly, I have not much to say in the character part as it doesn't come too much as an attention grabber and rather I'd focus more on the plot and how the story would flow. Though it is like a normal harem isekai from time to time.]

Overall I enjoyed this read and am looking forward to constantly pick this up whenever I get tired of too much action stories!

Story: 5 (Average)
Isekai manga where MC is transported from the human realm, in the human realm, he was mistreated despite being a good businessman. MC is gifted at business and trades, and when he is summoned to the other world he works for the Demon King and immediately becomes successful. The tsundere falls for him after literally 3 chapters, typical female characters fall for him. The most basic isekai type manga.

Art: 6
It's not that great, but it is somewhat clean and readable.

Character:5
Your average characters that you can expect in an average isekai manga

I first started the series with hope that it might be ... different, but I was wrong. Do I recommend? No.
In case you wish to start the series, please note that the translation becomes terrible after 24th chapter.

Plot
Average Salaryman summoned by demon lord and was asked to be one of the "yonko" (4 people working directly under the demon-lord). The demon lord's unshakeable confidence in our MC, boosts MC's self-confidence and MC decides to do his best. The rest of the story is just him achieving a lot of feats using his "salaryman" knowledge of negotiations and business.

Review
I definitely liked the manga at the beginning. It was a comedy Isekai about an average salaryman suddenly dealing with a lot of powerful monsters. A lot of them monsters he dealt with were often weirdos and that made it an easy read. Of course, ... by the end of the arc, he will always accomplish any goal using his smart salaryman thinking (or asspulls, but whatever. this was never going to be a masterpiece anyway). The demon lord is a really great guy and one of the main attractions of this series.

But as the plot progressed, at some point, this became a serious story. It started dealing with racism of demi-humans and demons, war strategy, child abuse of a loli (really heavy abuse and tragic back story), cartoonishly evil villains and other serious shit. Now, I hate reading this manga. It was always a trash Isekai in terms of its writing. But the comedy was okay enough to pass some time, so I overlooked its shortcomings. Now, without any comedy, its just like any another trash Isekai. I think I will drop it here. If I am gonna read a trash Isekai anyway, there's definitely better ones out there.
