I just finished the 39th chapter and this one is a rare gem as an isekai fantasy.
It's gritty. The style reminds me of Vinland Saga, but it's not really historical. No waifus or harem fantasy. There's a preponderance of mood that settles somewhere in the sphere of dead serious. The faces/emotions are deft, with subtle comic relief. Excellent drama. I suppose it also reminds me of a modernized hardboiled style.
This one isn't very fluffy but it does provide a terrific escape from my reality which contrasts with the typical isekai fantasy fare, while remaining rooted well within the genre.
