An ABSURD tale of CAPITALISM and CORPORATISM!!
Starts off with an interesting premise of describing the evils of "BLACK" companies, unjust work practices, extreme capitalism, but, then QUICKLY devolves into a fever dream of ridiculousness!
The main character is irredeemable, the side characters are absolute memes, and the plot, well, it just laughs at it self at some point (because of how stupid it gets!).
The plot doesn't take it self seriously, and it wants you to know that.
Its really rough to recommend this one, but at the very least its entertaining. It has NUMEROUS times where it could have stood out, maybe made a statement on things like modern corporatism, and the unfairness of working conditions, but, it just doesn't
Despite all this, its VERY ENTERTAINING (somehow!?).
Its a nice ONE TIME only watch, if you are bored and want something to shut your brain off to.

The protagonist is quite a bit of an asshole, his only redeeming quality is that the world he is thrust into is even worse than he is, at least until he is "time travel double isekai'd", at which point the plot goes into overdrive, which is impressive only insofar as I didn't expect a plot in the first place.
Could easily have been a satire with its extreme portrayal of turbo-charged capitalism but manages to miss every chance to do anything interesting with it.
It contains, however, a sentient yandere penis-gun, do with that what you will.
tl,dr: All over the place in every way, good and bad. Ok for genre fans, just don't expect too much.

The plot of the MC being summoned to another world and having to survive with intense struggle and work seemed interesting. Even though this anime dealt with quotas, capitalism and general silliness, this had the ingredients to at minimum be a fun watch. However, for me, the majority of the characters were uninteresting... and that impeded with the enjoyment of this show. In the end, the concept was interesting, but the characters weren't for me.

I was really not sure whether or not I was going to like this one. It was rather grueling to watch for a while, as I thought this was going to be a sort of MC is constantly getting screwed over and the gag never ends. Thankfully it did.
With that as framework, the creators of this set things up in such a way that they definitely drive emotions towards certain characters, and the best way to say how this goes is, "You get what you deserve."
If you're looking for something to fill the gap, go for it, just be prepared for a little bit of frustration at the start.
