I like the MC and all (his powers are cool and more original compared to other isekai) BUT some annoying points kinda ruin it for me.
First: It's harem, idk maybe other people wouldn't consider it harem since the MC so far doesn't seem to be romantically involved with multiple girls. But the people he interacts with (are friends with) are ALL GIRLS otherwise it's old men. Being transported to a fantasy world, he meets a girl who works at the guild, the person in charge of that guild is a woman, and he's finally getting some teammates now except it's an all female group(of which the fox is real nosy and annoying, if it were me, I'd immediately ask for a change in bodyguards ngl).TF is that, even if there were gonna be girls at least make it a mixed group, ya know give MC some guy friends too(and don't say he has guy friends, that guy from the brother sister pair was just a brief party member, MC's real guy friends are 2 old men he consistently interacts with). To me the whole manga is in the grey area of being harem or not. Seems like its trying to not have a harem but also can't keep it's focus giving into the fanservice of MC being surround by "beauties".
Second: MC seems to just take a lot of things he's given, a lil bit of a pushover to me but you could also just call him peaceful and unpromblematic. But MC's conditions for making the map was for his skills and him being the map maker being kept confidential. But like everyone seems to know? lol not exactly confidential in my terms. Or idk maybe its only known to certain adventure groups at the camp but considering how the 2 guys from the other group asked MC to teach them his mapping skills, I doubt it's really gonna stay confidential. There's also the treatment from that group. Again if it were me, I'd ask to get better treatment since MC is a key significant part of the labyrinth, they know how valuable and good his maps are. Or at te very least, question why other groups now know he's the creator of the maps.
This makes it so hard for me to fully enjoy the manga since it has such a cool concept/idea. I guess I just like MC soloing it more. Last thing, I think this is the thing about isekai that makes it hard for me to enjoy but often times, MC is just an average guy who's best points are that he's "kind" and a "hardworker" which are pretty common traits, it's just that MC happens to have some OP skill. Then the rest is him trying to accomplish some goal or none at all while girls flock to him. Not saying this manga is terrible tho, it's ok but there are definitely better mangas.
Might be considered spoiler.

If u read the novel, u wouldn't consider this a harem. At least not upp til the latest chapters, Like 100+. Yes there are females he interacts with. Although they are quite friendly, there is no like sexual "tension" between them. Or boob grabbing or stuff like that.( at least from what i remember) the only is one bae. And lots of the story focuses on his skills, adventure and trying to get revenge on evil god. And his interest in bae, the receptionist. (=・ω・=)
It's so frustrating she can't get away from the companyyyyyy BUT i think that's partially her fault (not just that her co-workers are sticking like leeches trying to mooch off her as much as they can). She's still being too nice and they're taking advantage of that, I'd block all the numbers from the company, and threaten to sue for harassment if anyone kept bugging me. Welp maybe she isn't as petty as me lol >.> I'd even take it to social media and try to expose the company poor management of it's workers.
For anyone who read the novel/knows what's gonna happen next, does the girl meet up with him again? Cause if she does and clings to him, (づ ̄ ³ ̄)づ I'll most likely drop this and not waste my time.
Lol was about to drop when she suddenly started clinging to MC to help her and even wanted to follow him with her family so he could protect them. SOOOOOOO glad he was cold enough to leave her cause it'd be a dumb move and waste if he lived 3 years in the apocalypse and still had the mindset of a hero carrying around baggage. It's heartless but it's the smartest choice for him to survive, otherwise he'd not only have to protect multiple weaklings(who have no relation to him nor bring any significant help) but he'd also have to share his limited supplies/preparation with random people.
Currently only on chapter 11(so may be an unfair evaluation of the characters) but it's quickly becoming a pain to read. I'm not trying to say the manga is entirely bad, I'm just ranting about my problems with it so feel free to not read this rant. Will continue to read a bit further and hope that the characters evolve more. The book's got a cool concept but I feel like the characters, especially the mc are lacking. Everyone's just kinda dumb or their thoughts are simple and easy to guess. The enemies so far(again only on chap 11) are extremely underestimating the mc. Every time the seem to catch something off by her character, they immediately blow it off and continue on without suspecting anything. I guess the mc is supposed to be smart or cunning but it feels like those types of books where the author can't make her seem smart so they dumb down everyone else to make the mc shine. Especially with the mc's IQ, I feel like for her past (she's pretty much 30-40 years old now with her past life and former life on earth) her actions now are dumb in which she's still naive and not cautious enough. She currently appears smart to the other characters but to me, that's not due to herself but rather her advantage of knowing future information.(which like is still lacking, she didn't even know the 4 ppl(duke, Danny, etc.) when they were super well known in the future). She currently hasn't utilized any of her knowledge on earth either aside from knowing what a smart phone is(looking forward to her future actions).
Some actions of hers that I find weird or dumb(feels like I'm calling her dumb a lot...) is that first, when seeing the smart phone in the auction. She had such a large reaction, allowed her maid to make a fuss instead of quickly telling her to quiet down and ask questions later, and lastly made a large bet for the phone(jumping from 10$(dunno the currency) to 100$). Honestly if I were another person in the auction, even if I didn't know what the phone did, judging by her reaction and willingness to pay for the magical item, I'd immediately also bet for it since it must be something good. Then the mc didn't quickly leave with the phone nor put it away but opened it in public to investigate it right away. Again, if I were a person in the auction and had authority or power(which they all do), seeing the rare magic stone taken from inside the phone, I'd immediately order servants to follow the mc and deal with her in a less public place when she tries to leave. I'm surprised nothing happened to the mc but I'll put that to either plot armor or the ML protecting her in secret. Then when investigating the phone in her room, we don't learn much of it's functions, only seeing her find out its origins and using a filter to convince her maid that she's pretty. Then later on using it to write down notes. I dunno, I feel like she's not cautious or aware enough, still just kinda ignorant. Just a minor complaint of mine too is that she's not warned her servants so far. I don't mean like oppressing them but she should be aware that there's not many she can trust, she should quickly pick out her most trusted servants, tell them of the mansion's situation, some of her plans, and warn them to be careful with their actions and words. Currently her servants don't feel reliable enough so she needs to train them. I think it's that she's trying to do too many things all at the same time while not being a good multitasker...
There's also her trying to save the little boy(who's secretly a girl I think) at the museum. It's not wrong to do so and she may gain a strong supporter but she lacks the ability to save the boy. The entire time, the boy can't bring any refutes or evidence of his claim up(which like is fine, he's the one supposed to be saved here). But the mc jumps in with absolutely nothing. No defense at all, her only argument being that he's a little boy and the other person shouldn't treat them like that. The mc herself has a big name but never brings up her authority either and doesn't really do anything. Resulting in her ending up in trouble only to be saved by the ML.
So far, the mc is only alive or still safe due to the ML in my opinion. She's pretty reckless too. She hasn't really shown nor used her advantage of knowing the future and knowing earth information(aside from little bits). Ok I'm done with my rant and complaints about the mc now. I just feel like she's not really a strong character nor does her past experiences shine in her to show her changes. It's like she hasn't grown much from that experience and will now in comparison grow more due to her new experiences. I'm looking forward to how she uses the phone tho and if she finds and other items from earth. Also hopefully characters grow more and I change my opinion about the characters. The story's got a cool idea with the phone so don't want to drop it.
Σ(  ̄□ ̄||) There's a manga of this?!?! How did I only find out now (☆▽☆) So HAPPYYYYYY ε=ε=(ノ≧∇≦)ノ
