I genuinely don't understand how this even got an adaptation in the first place, the mc is just such a fucking loser. Most JP fantasy protags are losers, but they at least have the excuse of being teens. I mean, most kids that age are losers just trying their best to look cool, but there's just something incredibly jarring about a man in his mid-40s behaving like a typical teen isekai protagonist.

Oh, and, before some asshole says "if you don't like it, then just don't watch it" (which is a horrible fucking take that people think exempts them from criticism), I don't watch it and never intend on doing so, but I did read the WN for some unknown reason and I highly doubt the author switched up his writing for the mc for the official serialization considering this show's target audience.

If Instructor Rean was a 40 year old man and Altina was his adopted socially awkward daughter.
