He feels inadequate, struggling to comprehend how she can remain hopeful in the face of so much hardship. The more he questions, the more he resents her calm certainty.

A truly average teenager full of expectations gets whisked into another world, only to discover that things aren't as enticing as it seems... My amateur attempt at a deconstruction aimed towards the isekai genre, namely your generic stories with an overpowered main character, their cheats, their strange amount of knowledge regarding modern weaponry, and their harem.

Any resemblance to actual events, locations or persons, living or dead, is entirely coincidental.
