Reception
John Oppliger of AnimeNation felt it was similar to other works of the isekai genre, but that it was "far more personable and approachable" than other series in the genre. He also praised Miwa illustrations, though noted it uses a lot of screentone. Demelza of Anime UK News described the worldbuilding as boring and the lead character and artwork as bland. She also felt that it lacked any new ideas compared to other isekai works.
By February 2023, the novels and manga had a combined circulation of 2.34 million.
