1) Rudeus’s inner voice banter. Sugita is only voicing maybe 30% of the overall wild shit Rudeus usually pulls out of in the novels.
2) Good world-building although the anime skips over most of it:
3) Plot is surprisingly good the more you get into the series, at first you think nothing special is going on but things are pretty loaded and not as simple as it first seems. Although many other series also have these kind of reveals like say AOT here it’s very consistent and not particularly outlandish it just works with the rest of the story.
4) Character interactions are top notch, characterization and character development is top notch. It just works. characters feel real the interactions are grounded in reality when they need to be, comedic but still realistic in other cases.
5) Novels give off not just that feel of adventure which is rare in fantasy series nowadays, when there’s no adventure the feel is kind of the same and it does a good job of immersing you into the story’s setting.
6) fights are really good whenever major ones happen.

The bad would be:
1) Manga adaption, anime adaption but they’re not particularly bad just the novels are on another level compared to usual novels are superior cases here they are about 3x as good.
2) It’s subjective but many people didn’t like Roxy raping Rudeus:
>Bitch comes into his room in a single fabric and goes "as your master, I deserve cock white boi"
>Rudeus is catatonic and don't say or do shit. just let shit go down with no emotion
>Roxy apologies a bit later and admits to it being rape without using the word rape
>apologizes for raping him with no remorse. She merely acknowledges it was wrong, but ultimately doesn’t care
But hey I’m not gonna discuss mentality of a 40 year old woman. I don’t understand and it’s not my problem.
3) Tallhand is gay for no reason.
4) Takes a while for the buildup of arcs to pay off
5) Pacing issues here and there
