Audio drama

A series of two drama CDs will be released with the seventh and eight volumes of the light novel on December 25, 2017, and March 25, 2018.[1] The drama CDs will have the same voice cast as the anime.[1]

Anime

An anime television series adaptation will premiere in April 2018.[1] The series will be directed by Jun Kamiya and written by Kazuyuki Fudeyasu, with animation by studio White Fox.[1] Atsuo Atobe will provide character designs and serve as chief animation director.[1]

Reception

The series was the 27th best-selling light novel series in the first half of 2017, with 84,372 copies sold.[19]

Rebecca Silverman of Anime News Network enjoyed the series, praising it for its central premise and how it was "good twist on the genre conventions" by making its hero have to work for his overpowered hero status instead of immediately gaining it like many light novel protagonists.[20][21] She criticized the series for its depiction of the romantic relationship between Hajime and Yue, which she called "unhealthy", and also felt that the translation wasn't as good as some of J-Novel Club's other releases.[20]
