The story is pretty decent, if not crazy at times (with how the MC gains his power and everything), and if it didn't annoy me, it drew me in. The only problem here is that there are a bit too many sub-plots I do not care about, although they may turn out just right depending on how they merge with the main storyline.

The protagonist is unable to really accept his power and he gets depressed all the time when he defeats his enimies easily and sometimes tries not to fight in the first place which caused me considerable discomfort at times, although it was quite ... funny otherwise.
About other characters, some of them are rather unique(the first heroine is a gorilla, there are some perverts etc.) however, in time, the main heroines turn out quite similiarly personality-wise. Another issue is that there are a tad too many, in fact, enough to dedicate to their re-introduction and summary two entire chapters(although the sheer amount of them might not be the only reason) as well as for the author to dedicade 1,5 chapters about a battle to show how minor characters fight as well as name those who have not been thus far.*(Incidentally, the rest was just the protagonist annihilating enemies)

The enjoyment has so far been fluctuating from 6 to 8 where 6 is when the story starts to progress in some direction, which appears to head nowhere, and 8 is when MC gets to be badass or when the story is finally headed towards an acceptable goal. Other than that, the seemingly omnipresent tsukkomi(even the protagonist realizes that he comments on everything all the time) are sometimes rather funny even though it's not really my thing but they generally just set a light mood for an easy read.

Overally, it is a funny novel with not that much action(but when there is, it is quite awesome) focusing more on comedy, its own share of cringeworthy moments and the protagonist's struggle with his own power.

*this might be important later on but at this point in time it was just annoying

In this season the anime took a rather large turn trading much of its atmosphere, which I really loved, for story but, from my perspective, in a very hurried fashion. It pretty much cast off its tranquility and mundanity, which actually defined the anime, only to show several events which although helped the story to proceed but totally lacked foreshadowing and were in too close a proximity. All this gave me several unpleasant surprises creating in me a feeling of inconsistency towards the end.

For the purposes of the story supernatural events were also omitted resulting in even bigger split between this season and the ... rest of the series.

What I did like, though, was the still very good use of music and the fact that the unique use of opening was still retained, perhaps even more skillfuly so.
