Rebecca Silverman of Anime News Network enjoyed the series, praising it for its central premise and how it was "good twist on the genre conventions" by making its hero have to work for his overpowered hero status instead of immediately gaining it like many light novel protagonists. [50] [51] She praised the series for its depiction of the romantic relationship between Hajime and Yue, which she called "healthy", and also felt that the translation wasn't as good as some of J-Novel Club's other releases.

The second season was essentially Karoi’s time to shine since it showed her working through her insecurities and feelings of inferiority. Kaori was also central to the reason why Eri betrayed her fellow students, although since this plot twist was given pretty much no on-screen development or foreshadowing it came off as this crazy-girl-whose-name-I’ve-forgotten-just-snapped-and-now-we-hate-her. The second season still relied on CGI monsters like the sandworms, fire dragons, skeletons, etc. but at least this time they blended in with the 2D animation rather than jarring audiences (the monster army during the capital invasion was an exception for close-up scenes).
