In this one, the dude isn't summoned -- he just suddenly wakes up in another world. He was a middle aged illustrator so he's familiar with isekai-ness, though there's no explanation of how he wound up in this new world. No inciting incident, no truck-kun.
His skill, like in Campfire Cooking, involves access to an online shopping platform. However, this is no cooking show. He sets out to be a merchant and have a slow life. He does make some good choices and overall seems like a decent dude but this is definitely a harem-centric show. Also interesting is that he brings out things like trucks and backhoes and passes them off as magic.
But the harem bit...it's kinda weird...so, like, immediately, he winds up hooking up with the waitress at the inn he's staying at. She's very forward and just hops in and he makes no complaints. Similar thing with cat lady beast folk--he does the beastfolk a good turn and she just wiggles into his sleeping pallet. Again, no argument or protest. Thankfully, it's all fade to black-ish.
But then fancy blonde lady merchant's daughter makes passes at him and he gently is turning her down (so far, but don't think that will last long). So...it's okay as long as it's someone he sees as working class or not that intelligent (cat girl is strong and a great archer but definitely not the sharpest tool in the shed)? That just doesn't sit quite right with me. I mean, not that I want him to go jumping into a bed with her either--she actually seems to want to marry him--but it feels wrong somehow that the rich posh lady is the only one he makes a fuss about.
He did save her life in the last episode, so I guess we'll see what's gonna happen. This is only 4 episodes in, too...
Yeah. I'm expecting too much. I probably need to lay off the isekai for awhile soon. Will update after finishing.
Edit after episode 5: Huh. So he adopts the young kid that he rescued because she wants to stay with him and they make a big deal out of her wanting to sleep in his bed with him. He doesn't treat her as anything but a kid, but....meh. And at the end of the episode when fancy lady is off to try and seduce him again, he's picked up sticks without saying goodbye because he's pretty sure some nobles are out to capitalise on his power. He did bring the girl and the rescued bobcat though. But he's riding off on a motorbike...would that not be a super obvious giveaway??
