Bananza, a kind hearted merchant, is transported to another world trying to find heroes. However, he's brought there at the same time as another potential hero, who shows up with high level stats, while his appear to be weak. But they screwed something up and can't send him back and the King just wants to get rid of him so he doesn't get embarrassed. So they ship him off to a far away forest, though at least they give him some supplies first.
But, Bananza (now called Flio so the Kingdom can't find him and wearing a very slight shapeshifting disguise so he doesn't look exactly the same), *did* acquire some mad skills from the world's god--kind of like a super cheat. Once he levels up by accidentally killing ALL the demons in the forest when his 'onboard computer'--think Siri--recommends he purify it, his level shoots up. Most skills are marked with an infinity symbol, though he doesn't know what they mean.
Anyway, he has no idea that the spells he is using are high level. He lived in a fantasy-esque world before and just thinks the rules are different. He goes off and joins an adventurer's guild so he can make a living. Through reasons, he winds up entangled with a lupine girl/demon (who's brother he just killed) that actually works/worked in the Demon King's army that the other hero is supposed to be fighting, and she pledges to stay with him after he bests her in combat (in her race, all the women want the most powerful husband, and he's definitely that).
He collects some more lady warriors who want to be taught, but happily it doesn't look like a traditional harem show as the lupine-lady gloms on to being his wife after he suggests it as a way they wouldn't look suspicious while in town. Even after just three episodes, it actually seems more like this is going to be a happy show with them as the couple.
The King, who doesn't know that he's the "other" hero, has even sent people asking for this new adventurer to help (he's been killing crazy big stuff easily, especially with his new wife's help), but Flio says no--he's happy to just be chillin'.
While I don't think this one is particularly groundbreaking, I am enjoying it. Also liking that Flio was against slavery in his own world and doubled down in this one -- he's just a decent guy. And, based even just on the cover images of all the books already released, he's a one woman man and a walking green flag.
