Here we have a combination of a mature protagonist-trope coupled with a gaming understanding mindest (not gamers mindset but understanding game logic) taking on a JRPG-world. 

The MC is a 40ish electrotechnician from russia making him the most based being on planet earth. His attitude reminds of Kazuma from KonoSuba, but without the typical NEET-mindset. He notices when he is presented with sh*t situations/attitudes yet has solutions for those. He gets that balance between appreciating s*xual encounters yet not being controlled by his primal urges. And he is capable to live through harsh conditions without resorting to genuine resentment. At the same time the MC doesn't take himself too seriously resulting in some humorous situations for the reader. This way the "Perfect-human-being"-trope is avoided.

A weakness of the novel is the writing style. It would likely be incredibly funny in the authors native language considering all the comparisons and references. But it doesn't translate well into english. A side effect is also that one sometimes gets desoriented about the happenings in the story which are likely sufficently hinted at in the original text but don't get through in this version. There is also the point of the author being... very honest about certain topics. Reader discretion is advised. Please don't end the fun for those of us who just want to know how the story continues.

The world's setting is every Fantasy JRPG ever, down to japanese names and system.
