Having read the review from MintTea, I thought I ought to add to it a little, to potentially help save some people from reading this when it isn't for them.

The thing MintTea points out - that the main character starts out overpowered and nothing truly poses a challenge to him directly - doesn't change a whole lot throughout the entire series. It is particularly prevalent at the start, because he gets stupidly strong within a few chapters, but even when stronger characters appear later it doesn't vanish entirely. The main way conflict is born seems to be through him being just one person that can't be everywhere at the same time.

This is very much popcorn fantasy, in the way that it isn't 'Literature' with a large L even among fantasy. In terms of genre this falls into Progression Fantasy and Power Fantasy. You get to see overpowered characters get even stronger. These are somewhat popular genres and among the Japanese ones this book is particularly popular, imo because it does away with many of the tiresome tropes like harems, but if you do not enjoy reading those kind of books, you're likely not going to like this one either.
