Art good read

Really enjoyed reading tis. It’s really lighthearted, concepts only get explained at a shallow level. Combined with the fast pacing I feel like it’s missing out on world building tho. things get resolved fast no 10 chapters till a misunderstanding gets resolved I feel like the story doesn’t gain anything that he isekaied, imo the story would have profited more if he was just normally born there and when he discovered magic changed his personality and he became the same magic addict he is now.
