Badly written...
Should I explain why it's badly written? I don't want to though... Oh well, it's just lazy writing. Let's see, chapter 2, a villain is using his power to harass a village and a knight passing by want to help the village. Lord? Militia? Army? Apparently, they don't exist in this world. And let's not talk about the moment when the MC go through a door of light to go back to his world while the (I guess) FMC watch him do that, and she says nothing about it like it's a normal occurrence. And a handgun is enough to destroy a golem.
So I drop it at chapter 2. It might not be enough to know if it's bad, but it's still enough to see it's badly written.

Having read up to the most recent translated chapter, I will say...7/10. That isn't bad in my mind; what I like about this is how it evokes a feeling of the manga of the past to some degree checks tags no adaptation tag huh...yeah that checks. In a glut of light novel adaptations, this feels fresh, in the sense that you don't see it much these days. Just plain, good old dumb manga adventure fun.
TL
R Pro/Cons up to Chapter 43:
Pros-
-Fun story with if not amazingly deep relatively endearing characters
-A classic shonen fantasy adventure style you don't see in comparison with most isekai
-Fantasy world vs guns is implemented pretty well here and in some entertaining ways
-Adult protagonist
-No ecchi and no harem (not that these are necessarily bad but in the contexts of this story in particular, also I hope this ages well)
-Dark Elf lady primal instincts activated
Cons-
-I can't help but feel like this could go in a harem direction just by the amount of female characters are following this guy
-The gun explanations can be kind of silly, although as someone who has only shot guns maybe a few times I don't mind it
-The plot beats are for the most part very predictable
-Stupid fun story is, in fact, rather stupid and convoluted at times
I've read through the comments here, and maybe that's where my feelings differ: This is a silly, lighthearted story, and that's going to take precedent over doing some sort of in-depth commentary on corruption or authoritarian control. I take this the same way as how most shonen would not spend a large amount of their pages dwelling on the horrors inflicted upon captive women or something like that; it's not really necessary to getting across the point of the story, and in fact would just weigh it down. It's funny that I'm even saying this when usually I'm the one in the corner thinking "this needs to be taken more seriously" but this just feels so nostalgic I can't help but give it a pass. Let me put it this way: A lot of isekai wants to play like it's mature, when really, it refuses to go all the way. It wants its graphic sexual assault scenes with none of the respect given to the victims. It wants its genocidal, monstrous empire but none of the political commentary necessary to actually tackle it. This story understands what it wants to be. It wants to be fun. It doesn't want you to take it too seriously. And I value something that is honest about itself, I suppose. Something earnest. Also I don't know a ton about guns so any incorrect facts are not going to faze me. Those are my feelings, I guess.

The type of MC I don't wants to read or know...
Since he is the type forgive the peoples who did terrible thing...
Like "hey I win... So don't do that Next time"
Few chapters later... The same bad guy did the same thing again...
And story is very mid...

I dropped Gun Ota as the mangaka used one tilted head position 90% of the time for all his characters, until it looked like a really stupid cut and paste.

fuck this mango. read 40 ch and cant stand the shit of "we cant harm our enemies let alone kill them even though they are trying to kill us non stop". Not only that but they are showing concern for mc enemies when they might get hurt MID FUCKING FIGHT.
ughhh i just cant.
Also all the "bad" characters are laughably stupid. its just non stop "im trying to kill you for reasons! HOW DARE YOU DEFEND YOURSELF"
The guns aint even all that consistent. MC constantly breaking the 4 gun laws, making stupid decisions with choice in guns, etc.
i really tried to like it but its just such ass.
