He took interest in it and when he finished setting his character he was asked "You will now be transported to a world with the settings you choose, coming back is not possible, do you still accept."

Character
Michio Kaga is the main character. he is 17 years old. A misanthropic high school student who thinks about suicide on Earth. He has a kendo experience. As soon as he finished what seemed to be the initial settings of the net game, he transferred to another world. At first he thought it was a good game, so he wasn't upset when he defeated and killed bandits and such, but once he realized this was the reality, he began to act more cautiously.

Although he is confused by the ethics of another world, he treats slaves with his own pride, and as a result, his slaves are treated better than those in other countries. He has a strong libido for his age, and since he bought Roxanne, he's been layering his skin every day. After purchasing Sherry, he got a job of "Color Magic", so he became even more unmatched.

In the labyrinth capture, the monsters are overwhelmed with the bonus equipment with the parameters assigned before transferring to the other world. However, he has been aware of the risk of losing bonus equipment since the beginning of the transfer to another world, and aims to break away from the fighting style that relies on it. After I became able to use magic, I entrusted Roxanne with the vanguard, and used bonus equipment as needed while attacking with magic from the rear. When he acquires a new job or skill, he tries to understand its properties through experiments and verifications.

Abilities
He can see the status of yourself and your party members with the "Menu" skill, and you can freely switch jobs. Normally, you can only set one job, but you can set multiple jobs by throwing bonus points. As of the 12th volume of the novel, the main jobs are 「Adventurer」, 「Hero」,「Playboy」, 「Wizard」, "Grand Wizard 」, and 「Monk」.

Although he is a transferor with cheat abilities, he is depicted as a type of hero who has a plan and does not neglect his efforts, rather than the strongest hero type The author believes that making him the strongest hero who can do anything will not expand the range of the story, and in order to prevent that from happening, he is conscious of "how to make use of the few cheats". He is also aware that "RPG is a world where hard work pays off".

Production style
This work is a pioneering work of "Slave Harem Stuff" in web novels.

The author wanted to write a fun work just by diving into the labyrinth and doing something, and this work was completed by adding harem elements to it As for the title, there is an introduction frame for new works on the top page of "Shōsetsuka ni Narō", and as a result of wanting to make it something that makes people want to click on it, it became the current title.

This work has many elements reminiscent of games, but it is said that this was influenced by simulation games For example, the author cites the history simulation game "Nobunaga 's Ambition Series" as an example of the main character's parameter creation.

The feature of this work is that the daily scenery is drawn in detail with the intention of the author to show reality. The author was concerned that if the setting was too detailed, it would be easier for lies and contradictions to be discovered, but he wanted to draw in detail because it was a fantasy. The author states that the dishes that appear in the work are influenced by the work "Shōsetsuka ni Narō", and cites "Restaurant to Another World" and "Old Knight on the Frontier" as works that have been particularly influenced.
