Impressions:
This series has the cursed word "cheat" in the title, which is normally a condition for a hard pass from me, but I'd heard a bit about the premise that got me mildly curious and the cheap shovelware tie-in on G123 gave me that extra push to check it out. So how is it? Well, it's pretty typical isekai trash with a miserable MC who gets dramatic unearned powers and wins a harem in the process. However, I do like the dual-world approach and the character dynamics aren't a total waste. It's mildly interesting seeing the MC still be an unsure introvert even with his godlike powers and supermodel looks and that he actually feels some guilt about all his powers being nothing more than a cheat. I also rather like the character designs and find the eyes particularly striking. Other than the character designs, production values are a bit variable, with the MC occasionally changing into a wonky 3D model for action scenes just so we don't forget this is a Millepensee production. In the end, is it worth it? Not really. You might be able to squeeze just enough value to not regret the experience as I did, but if your tolerance for isekai trash is low, you won't have a good time. Take it or leave it.
