Apocalypse Bringer Mynoghra: World Conquest Starts with the Civilization of Ruin

This has to be the most pathetic MC I've ever seen. I understand he is supposed to be "shy" but damn this was painful to watch. I really don't understand the appeal when he is constantly stuttering, crying, and apologizing in every scene. All the NPC characters worship him unconditionally so really nothing he says matters anyways. The kingdom-building aspect is a joke and seems more like an afterthought. It goes from silly fantasy in the first half to boring monster battles in the second half. They introduce all these game mechanics but the characters are so shallow and boring it seems pointless.

What had a premising plot turned into a bunch of bullshit in the end, a complete waste of time and another anime that is being sent to the trash heap with absolutely zero redeeming qualities. Awful animation with absolutely no fights that captured my attention. A pussy MC that is given everything he wants and doesn't have to work for anything. The twins are just the cherry on top of the steaming pile of horse shit that was this anime when they went from being doting side characters to absurd op hero's at the end. Character development? Fuck that because who needs to make characterswith any depth that improve or change in any meaningful way. Ts pmo.

This has some interesting ideas sprinkled throughout, but it doesn't really capitalize on them, and thus it ends up being meidocre. Interesting idea #1 is being a 4X strategy game isekai, so instead of being the 99999th anime pulling from Dragon Quest and Final Fantasy, this is cribbing off of the Civilization franchise. I enjoy 4x games so this held some promise for me, but in practice all it meant was that some characters are "built" from "mana". It's functionally indistinguishable from them showing up out of nowhere as they would in any other story, so it's mostly pointless. Interesting idea #2 is that the"cheat skills" come from a mashup of different genres, so the protagonist has his 4X cheat skills, while other characters have RPG cheat skills, and perhaps there will be dating sim cheat skills. But as of the end of season 1, these have mostly just acted like any other anime asspulls to arbitrarily resolve tension in battle scenes. Nothing special really happens and it's impossible to reasonably predict where any of this will go, so it's not particularly engaging. Interesting idea #3 is that the protagonist is leading the "evil" nation, which could give an excuse to move away from the typical nonsensical anime morality system. However, this is almost immediately subverted when the protagonist claims "evil" = "do whatever you want", which really means "do the right thing, but with a bit more violence". That leaves a fairly bog-standard isekai that only has middling execution. There's a decent helping of unfunny reaction comedy, a boring unconfident protagonist, and a flat supporting cast. This series passed the time on my daily commute but was otherwise completely forgettable.
