Preliminary (12/? chp)

Tldr near the bottom.(with a tiny spoiler at the very bottom, its spaced so you won't see it if you don't want to)

This is a decent manga if you are a fan of the isekai genre but I don't think it does anything amazing or adds much that hasn't been seen before. Our mc gets reincarnated as a slave and is then bought by a very kind family. He's brought up under their loving care so that he can protect them in the future with his insane barrier(magic) skills. The mc is along for the ride and has very little agency. This might not be ... an issue for some people, but I like my mc's to have a bit more worry about what they want to do in life and not so easily accept everything w/o a second thought. I'm sure some of you just face palmed over me asking for a slave to have agency :P but they let him do almost anything and he has next to no goals or ambitions, he just goes along with anything. The family he grows up with are all nice people and he forms a fun relationship and deep bond with them. Honestly, they aren't very memorable outside of being nice and treating him well. The older daughter is the most memorable since her backstory is a bit more interesting and she's very cute. I have no issues with them and how they are presented its all just "alright". Most of what we've got so far is Slice of Life while growing up and learning magic with the family.

The manga is still in its early stages and there isn't a ton that's happened so far outside of the massive event in the newest chapters.(read past my tldr at the bottom and I'll give the tiniest spoiler about it if you are interested, it'll barely be a spoiler but some people hate even the tiniest spoilers so I'll put it at the very bottom just in case:) This is where the manga will turn and it remains to be seen where it will go in the future. I read ahead in the light novel and I can say it still follows a lot of the classic isekai tropes and situations.(I can already see the mc building his harem) The mc hasn't had a ton of development outside of figuring out what he wants to do with his life. In closing, you should read this if you like the isekai genre. It never wowed me in anyway but the quality is good, just don't expect much variety compared to what you're used to outside of the big event. The art is pretty good and I have no complaints in that department.

TLDR: Give it a go if you like Isekai, its stock standard in most regards but not offensive or lacking in quality. Its just slightly better than "fine" to where its enjoyable enough. The only real difference I'll hint at in the tiny spoiler below. (don't read if you hate spoilers, no matter how tiny)

THIS IS A SPOILER:

The story takes a tragic turn in the most recent chapters and gets pretty emotional, which I really enjoyed and adds in some much needed variety. Its actually pretty depressing so if you're looking for all happy days I'd steer clear of this one, as for me I loved it and was excited to see something different from what I was expecting.

Preliminary (27/? chp)

first thing first this is one of the most horrible manga i've read in a while. some maybe found this manga ok or decent but for me who like isekai manga, this is horrible.

Story
at the start of the series, the story begin with something common with other isekai manga. a guy who dead and then awake in another world. i don't really mind with this opening as other great isekai manga usually start with something really common until we get to later part when the story getting hype. but alot of other isekai manga including this one start with common plot, and did not ... getting better even after i read to 20+ chapter. in fact, it's just getting worse. the story is predictable, we can just read a few chapter and predict where are they going in 5 chapter ahead. the pacing is really fast, they don't care if it fit to the character or not. you can tell who is good and who is bad almost every single time. the plot itself is oversimplified, where the element of the story like romance and comedy feels nothing at all. it just manga that doesn't have anything different in story from other.
score 1/10.

Art
now this is the only good thing about this manga. the art is in modern style, it feels alot like style that uses in modern manga. there's nothing special in it but you can see the hard work they did in this manga. you can see in other isekai manga that use this kind of style, especially their character or creature (pet) that feels kinda similar to each other. the background however feels like need to do better, while their character drawing and design is good, the background is not supporting at all.
score 7/10.

Character
start off with the main character, there's no character development. i thing this is the main issue why this manga is not going good. it just told that he is kind, caring, and really appreciate other. there is some scene where the mc supposedly having character development but it fell off. nothing change, nothing new. the support character that should make the main character shine, is not doing their job at all. they just there, exist, without knowing their job. the conversation feels not alive, feels like nps or ai chatting with happy vibes all the time.
score 2/10.

conclusion, this manga have boring story, no proper set up, unrealistic character, no character development, no good background, and only score a decent on art, even that art is not really astounding. i won't read or touch this manga again, i know i just read for 27 chapter but enough is enough. i don't know about other but i think some people might agree with me, or maybe not.
overall 2/10.
