Tldr; It is a mixed bag with the potential to get better. The story is realistic and I’m fine with the pacing, the problem is the MC is average at best in terms of intelligence and below average in creativity so without plot armor I do not see how he will survive. Longer review: Believe it or not, I don’t dislike how the MC is being beaten down. The idea of dropping a competent mc into a rough situation and seeing him fulfillingly get stronger bit by bit can make for an excellent story. My issue is that the mc does not appear to be competent at all. Sure, he seems to be quite hardworking and has passable willpower. But he is incredibly uncreative and dull. Seeing an average person thrown into a very miserable situation is not particularly fun to read because without plot armor that average person will die 99% of the time. Thus, I feel like the author will have to introduce plot armor or to suddenly drastically increase the MCs intelligence if he does not want the MC to die the second he meets the enemy, and that makes for poor writing.

I feel like intelligence boost is rational, with experience, Takuma simply gained ability to act better on preexisting intelligence

Potential to get better bucks you read 18 chapters you didn't give it an opportunity.Now people like me have to read this story and find out for themselves if it's good or bad.SHAME ON YOU, YOU HAD ONE JOB and you can't even post a trustworthy review.
