Pretty wishy-washy, but without any cringe elements, and the supporting cast are well made.
Other than most of the males other than the MC, who are either Wuxia-level self-entitled douchebags, or are a varied shade of sandpaper.
Overall, pretty decent "isekai" level work. Color me surprised.
P.S: As for the matter of the infinite pot that some of ya'll talked about,
Even if the pot generates infinite "common rocks", it's valuable as-is. I don't know much about construction, but I imagine you can sell the pot to such and such company that already grinds minerals on a daily basis. Only this time around, they don't have to excavate the resources or pay for the import.
It won't be worth a trillion bucks, but it'd still be worth something. They'd be saving immensely on transportation and operation, given the cost of gasoline.
EDIT:
After a bit of reading,
Basalt, what seems to be the most common form of rock on the planet, is used mostly as an aggregate. That is, you add it to an existing mixture to complete the product. It is used in roads, railways and concrete. For the most part, it's added to add volume and reduce costs. It's a filler material.
In less TLDR:
P.P.S: I find it funny some tried to seriously talk about "but it'd crash the economy", when the economy should've already crashed several times over, given the infiltration of monsters and the addition of bloody magic to the world. I think they're going to be fine.

Uses of Aggregates
Aggregate can be used in a number of ways in construction. In roads and railway ballast the aggregates are used to resist the overall (static as well as dynamic) load, to distribute the load properly to the supporting ground and to drain the water off the surface. In concrete the aggregate is used for economy, reduce shrinkage and cracks and to strengthen the structure. They are also used in water filtration and sewage treatment processes.
The uses of aggregates can be summarized in to the following three categories:
As a Load Bearing Material.
As a Filling Material.
As an Infiltrating Material.
Uses of Aggregate in Concrete
Aggregate is an essential ingredient of concrete. The uses of aggregates in concrete is:
Increases the volume of concrete, thus reduces the cost. Aggregates account for 60-75% of the volume of concrete and 79-85% weight of PCC.
To provide a rigid structure.
To reduce the shrinkage and cracking.
Concrete aggregate is used in many structures and substructures e.g. different elements of a Building, bridges, foundations.
The smaller the aggregate size the greater its surface area and the more binding material (cement) will be required, resulting in a higher cost.
The greater the aggregate size the larger will be the voids, resulting in wastage of binding material (cement).
Hence a mixture of coarse and fine aggregate is used in concrete to avoid both these problems.
Uses of Aggregates in Roads
Aggregates are used as the base, subbase, and/or surface of roads in several forms:
Stabilized using cementitious materials (blends of cement, fly ash, slag, lime).
Stabilized with bituminous materials (bitumen or tar).
Stabilized with other materials (resins, fibers, geosynthetics, etc.).
Recycled aggregate.
In roads, it is also used to help distribute the load and assist in ground water running off the road.
