The opening scene is completely true to the form. He's been accidentally killed by a misaimed thunderbolt, so god is resurrecting him in a parallel world. Obviously it will be a magic medieval world, oh and he'll be able to do magic. What's that? Not enough for you? You want to keep a magically charged smartphone so that you can have ongoing access to all of the modern world's knowledge in a world where this would likely create a significant technology imbalance? Yep, fine. One rule. No dialing out.
So having been dropped in the middle of nowhere in thi\s world, how can our protagonist possibly get by with no money and nowhere to go? Oh wait, it's fine, a passing clothes fetishist is willing to buy his modern clothes for a couple of weeks' wages.
Well that's money sorted, time to sort out some true companions. Oh wait, there's a pair of magic twins with slightly differing hairstyles, one of whom fancies him rotten and one who is slightly standoffish but will undoubtedly warm to him later, allowing a threesome at some point. They're definitely not called R-m. Better go rescue them.
Huh. That was surprisingly easy. What's that god? Oh, you're going to upgrade me so that I'm better at fighting than these thugs? I'm basically Spider-Man now? Yep, totally fine.
Well that's a party sorted. Time to find something to do. Oh wait, there's an adventurer's guild. Because of course there is. Better get some equipment. Oh wait, there's a katana. They're just better.
Well that's a source of income sorted. Time to learn this magic then. So you're telling me there's seven types of magic? And the most people can ever use is three? That's fine, I hope they're the cool ones. Oh wait, I can use all seven. Yep, sounds about right. I was worried I wasn't overpowered enough.
Well that's me probably the coolest person in this entire world now. Sorry, what did you say? You would like some recipes from us, travellers on the road? Something women might like? How about icecream? Yes, let's invent icecream. Tell you what though, since you've not invented the fridge freezer yet, let's invent magic icecream. Don't worry, we'll invent the freezer somewhere around episode five I'd imagine.
Right, that's a good twenty odd minutes I'm not getting back. I may have been a bit spoiled by all the versions of this recently that had interesting twists. This appears to be playing it boringly straight. I'll give it a little longer, but unless something horrifying happens, say his legs turn into spiders, I'll probably drop it.
Not recommended.
