We are at the point in isekai where it is so saturated that the new ones are just isekai anime with silly hooks. This was certainly that, but I, like most everyone else, actually came to really enjoy the “Sword Dad” dynamic each week. It’s better than stock protagonist with stock fantasy harem, anyways.
