Synopsis

What's a guy to do when his life suddenly changes while innocently enjoying a nice, cold drink after work? And I mean really changes. This middle-aged commoner now finds himself in the body of Liam Hamilton, the young son of a noble house teetering on the brink of collapse. Between his fervidly desperate father and his utterly apathetic brothers, the only bright side to his new situation is that Liam can finally try learning magic like he's always wanted. Little does he know his hobby of choice may be about to turn his life upside-down yet again! Will Liam be able to master the craft of magic? And will it be enough to save him from the shadow looming over his family...?

The low rating of this show seems to ]be purely based on unrealistic expectations.

This is isekai slop. It tells you it's isekai slop from the start. At no point does it pretend to be something greater.

So why are people complaining about it being generic and poorly written?

Come into this show with the same mentality you bring to a bag of chips. It's a brief, cheap, and low quality experience that will entertain for a few hours. The characters are one note, but fun. The premise is generic, but easy to follow without thought. The animation is average to bad, but it's serviceable and not ...

I would love to say this anime is pretty much like a light snacks for you to watch. But seriously,
The main character never find a big problem, so the development character is super flaw. Just like "i woke up, learn magic, always win, make a big familia, become king" and being the perfect main character in author wet dream.
i mean if they want to add more spices and filling, surely 12 episodes is not enough. So yeah. not a big recommend but if you want it as a light snack (like what i said in my first sentence) then go ahead watch it.

This anime had potential, but it completely wastes it. The only real positives are the animation and voice acting. Visually, it’s polished, and the cast delivers solid performances. Unfortunately, everything else falls apart.

The plot is a chaotic mess. Each episode tries to cram in far too much—new characters, dramatic reveals, emotional moments, and action—all without any real buildup. Conflicts are introduced and resolved within minutes, leaving no time for tension or emotional payoff. It feels more like a highlight reel than a coherent story.

Character development is almost nonexistent. One of the worst examples is the dragon character, who is supposedly important but gets swapped out ...
