Shijou Saikyou no Daimaou, Murabito A ni Tensei suru

Yet another story where the protagonist is telling himself he is "perfectly average". But in actuality, he is over-powered as f**k. Oh so original.

Story: A boy is strong enough to defeat monsters with no effort what so ever.
A boy knows magic spells thought to be lost long ago.
A boy goes to the Magic Academy, and the teachers want him to become the new teacher since this boy knows more than anyone else about magic.
This boy is calling himself "perfectly average". *sigh* I've said it before, I'll say it again. I hate protagonists that are over-powered for no reason. Saitama at least trained hard every day for 3 years.

But even overlooking this annoying protagonist, the story itself is really bad too. There's the typical "save a damsel in distress" beginning. Then the whole "reborn" plot line, not to mention that the protagonist "accidentally" meets a long lost friend after a thousand years, and they are "accidentally" living in the same country, in the same city, going to the same school. Come on, tell me that doesn't sound exaggerated!!

Art: Well, the art is not ugly. But I have nothing good to say about it. It's generic. So if you like girls with big tits and blue or pink hair, you are lucky! However, if you are looking for characters that actually look new then you are out of luck.

Characters: The super-cute childhood friend is obviously in love with the protagonist. They hug a lot, they sleep in the same bed, but he thinks of her as a daughter. (even though they are the same age). He doesn't want her, but she can't let him get another girl... Why??? Just, why? The author is obviously gonna make them a couple in the future, but it feels so annoying when it's shoved in your face all the time that he thinks of her as a daughter. It's not biological incest but it's still weird as hell.

Overall, I dropped this story fairly early, so maybe I shouldn't judge it yet. But yeah, it's bad. The characters are too developed right from the start. Over-powered guy. A girl in love with him and wants him to her self. And a second girl in love with him, but she's okay with a harem. It feels like it's not the first volume, but a recap of like 10 previous volumes. Making it very hard to form an emotional connection to any of the characters.

The only reason I gave it as high as a 5, is because it's not an isekai, it's just fantasy where the protagonist is reincarnated in his own world, thousands of years later. So I'm being nice here.
