These guys talk a bit too much sometimes so it’s not a bad thing for the side pieces to drop in more often. Honestly this series needs more romance elements but I don’t think we’ll ever see that happening.

Unless it was changed in the LN, I don't think there was any forms of romantic elements written in the WN. I remember it mostly about being about these 2 researchers and their associates geek-ing out over their research projects and making a boat loads of cash in the process in their world changing discoveries.

Yeah, any potential romance is on the slow burn. It's a joke even within the novel- Kei is surrounded by attractive single women, but is too dense to consider making a move. At one point Miyoshi even ranks the members of his harem by how close they are to dating him. (Spoiler about future jokes on this subject. Has no impact on the plot. Judge if that's spoiler enough to avoid it!)

You are right that the side characters are a lot of fun! Saito's "uh oh" is going to pay off like annual lottery payments.

Lots of techinical talk this 2 chapters, but is not a action story, is a story about office workers using their experience ad adventurers after getting super powers.

I love it. It's a very practical take (probably the most practical I've ever seen) at how two functioning adults would tackle the sudden-dungeons-appearance trope.

tsubo = square meters

I'm only a couple pages into this chapter, but it made me realize why this manga has grabbed me so much. I really like how it combines the fantasy of dungeons and monsters in newt with The realistic bullshit bureaucracy that would come with it if it showed up in our world. I've found that I like stories that don't shy away from the dirt and grime of real life. The ones The bad guys aren't necessarily completely evil, are selfish or just have different end goals. Ones where the mcs have to compromise on their ideals or commit gray actions.

I enjoy my escapist fantasies plenty, but that's not always what I want. Sometimes it feels nice to see art recognize the stuff you actually experience and see. And is just another way to set up interesting conflict with interesting solutions.

Well portrayal of foreigners seems a bit stereotypical; the Russians, Americans and Chinese primarily (in that order), although the British don't make a good impression either, and I say that as one of them

This is pretty escapist - increasingly so as the story rolls on; we have a somewhat unmotivated MC who of course is OP and his food-and-wine obscessed coworker, exploring a present day, alternate history world which only diverged a handful of years earlier, but with magic, dungeons, and monsters. I think it is hard to read without wishing you could be in that world, able to step into a dungeon as a weekend hobby while being a student or working a 9-5 job the rest of the week.

The conflict is mainly with japanese bureaucracy, and them slavishly following it.
That's the thing that's bugging me about this manga: The MC's are Model Citizen Goodie Two-Shoes beyond what's believable.

Not entirely sure that's true. From what I can see, the Japanese corporate world is pretty rigid, but the MC and sidekick are pretty devoted to escaping their wage-slave roles and doing stuff just because they want to.

More generally though, DPowers are researchers, not adventurers or power brokers (which becomes increasingly ironic in the LN) - The OP MC, holder of the unique Mei King skill, Spends his first month grinding on the first level, using magic alien drool the sidekick "invented", handed to him, and left him to get on with the research logging.

(Yes, it's in quotes for a reason. No, I can't explain without massive spoliers )

That's the thing that's bugging me about this manga: The MC's are Model Citizen Goodie Two-Shoes beyond what's believable.

I think that's more a statement about a stereotypical Japanese Worker mentality; we also have stereotypical Americans, British, Russian (death squads) and so forth.

Miyoshi is a LOT more morally flexible than Kei; the next significant arc has some great and totally unsubtle examples, so look forward to that
