Somebody asked why this manga works despite having no end-goal in sight and personally I feel it's because of the strength of the character writing and the good dialogue. We are relatively invested in this cast because they aren't a bunch of flat cardboard people placed to advance the plot forward. They have their own thoughts, feelings, ambitions and personalities. Despite the brief nature of their interactions, some of their thoughts about one other really bleed through. Shin and Schnee of course, but also Shin and Girard for sure, and even Shin and Lyonne, or the PC team in town, after we meet them. These interactions all feel like they have value but the dialogue never gets stilted or forced.
If there's a weakness in this, its that I have no real understanding of this kingdom, or the kind of people who live there, which is really unfortunate because that's supposed to be a strength of the fantasy setting, though it's so poorly used these days in isekai. Also, the art style seems to be muted somehow. It's beautiful, don't get me wrong, but it's gray scale, with no thick outlines of anything and sometimes generic monster designs and backgrounds.
