If you took out everything related to sex this might be a decent manga, I think.

The first few chapters were—by and large—quite lovely. Then the following ones were decent in their own way, with, as these things go, a decently-compelling portrayal of the protagonist coming to grips with his surroundings.

And then, suddenly, strange rape fantasies. Kind of puts a damper on everything else, IMO.

Started reading it in 2022, returned now to read it again. Damn i'm growing old and intolerable.
Couldn't stomach the cheery-friendship power easy going atmosphere while they dabble in serious problems.
MC is an easy going yes man who allows others more than they should. FMC is classical shoujo princess type surrounded by a harem of beasts and MC whilst MC is surrounded also by harem but is denied any eroticism around him.

The most baffling thing was probably author started in a more mature tone but degraded to kiddy manga. (MC was r*ped by majin, there are also other accounts hard themes.)

I find japanese authors (mangakas) to be mentally impaired sometimes. The gist of creating kiddy manga should be that they don't cross adult themes and morality. In here? Sadly MC and the gang let the bandits loose, easily agree to demands(pleadings) of a royalty and etc. For example the bandit matter is easily an adult theme, since bandits are people who kill, r*pe and steal. Even in manga it was stated they were repeat offenders, meaning they have already done the deed. R*pe of mc is shrugged(by a female) of easily but later on we learn that he is teenager who doesn't even drink alcohol (what a good summer child).

As an adult reading this i feel my gray hair starting to grow faster after reading this, if power is concentrated in these soft skulls, world is doomed by being ruled by evil scheming people.

In essence it's like that author created an awfully bad mix of mature themed manga and childrens manga. Being awfully stubborn in some points to make it soft and childish whilst the whole world (by the theme of the world building) is awfully harsh and realistic. It's like 4 obnoxious children decided to play in adults world by forcing their way through, not understanding the deeper meaning behind everything.
