edgy MC but honestly his reaction seems more natural than "thanks for forcibly bringing us here, of course i'll risk my life for you and your country in this unknown world!"

Standard fare so far. The heroes, especially the main guy, are comically unreasonable. "What's wrong with you? Don't you want to risk your life for these people and implicitly trust them just because they asked you to despite the fact that you aren't a hero like us?" Normally I would dismiss it as stupid kids being stupid kids, but it goes a bit too far. The mc seems like he could end up being an arrogant ass, but we'll see if that's what happens. The rest of the exposition is the standard cliche, so we'll just have to see what originality branches off from this if any.

Maybe the MC was the only one to make his saving throw against Charm Person?

Truck-kun tried to get him once already. He was destined for this.

Well, I dislike the other summoned one's attitudes more. The fact that you're not bothered with being kidnapped does not mean that everybody is the same as you and wouldn't have problems with being thrown into a random conflict that does not concern them. Plus, even if someone came to me asking for help in defeating the American Army or Jihadists under the pretence that "they wiped the memory out of everyone I ever knew so my potential death is of no importance", that wouldn't make me want to help them. They got into their shit, they get themselves out of it, they don't force outsiders to fight for them. Not to mention that it's a pretty asshole-ish way of doing things.

Really, apart from the long black-haired girl, the heroes also seem quite brainless.
I thought the gyaru was surprisingly reasonable. What she said was "We've all got hero stats, so we have a decent fighting chance if we go out and risk our lives, but that guy didn't get that, he's just a normal person, so it's cruel to ask him to go out and put himself in danger." That wasn't being mean, that was empathetic.

The "he doesn't really matter" girl is surprisingly pretty rational, considering she started with that line.

Why would he walk out without any guidance? Should've at least secure fund and shelter before going off on own. His attitude is shit regardless of being in the right.

Dude is extremely edgy. What's with Japan and Korea wanting these MCs? I guess the authors making these stories were losers in HS? Like I understand why he is standoffish but the point of his superiority complex makes sense as to why he is a loner. It's self inflicted. And of course his view will be right and everybody else who is not on his side will be wrong. Also guessing that the "villains" will be one dimensional with no nuance whatsoever.

MC: I'm very smart! And I'm going to prove that I'm smart by walking out into a world that I know absolutely nothing about with no money, no real idea of how to earn it, also with no idea of how my skills/stats/magic works or how it compares to other people in the world! [I.e. Total Dumbass.]

Author: Oh... Wait I still need to give him some intro to the world... Umm... Mysterious fortuneteller! That's the ticket! And don't ask why the Dumbass MC will pay any attention to the fortuneteller when he completely skipped the option of getting info from the king or princess.
