Over all It could be worse. Look, I'm not going to stand here and act like you guys are all naive enough to not know what's going on in the "obvious Isekai." Its average joe shmo isekaied into, pause for dramatic effect, the heros ring. A legendary god-tier artifact that no one in this entire world has heard about. And of course the isekai "victim." 'Really hard to sell this genre as a bad time.' Is an overpowered magic mcguffin. Well he... It? has the potential to be. Yea, the Pepsi-twist that this generic isekai story going for is that he's a potentially "game breaking" support item for the hero, who does all the fighting. This is actually interesting and gives the story an air of tension that other fantasy story's don't have. Real death. See as top tier loot the protagonist is sort of immune to being killed or destroyed, but each arc's big bad. But the fingers he's on are much less safe. Heck the first couple of chapters convey that lesson very clearly. As he's then stuck to the knight who killed his last "finger detonator." And even though his new "benefactor" is your generic knight-like champion of justice. The fact that the ring is destined to go to the hero, gives tension to fights. Throughout the first arc I was worried for the knight, and as strong as he was he was going up against a final-boss-like opponent. The only thing that is truly holding this story back is the wrighting quality, and the character dynamics. And, slowly but surely both are improving.
