Review of The Fruit of Evolution: Before I Knew It, My Life Had It Made

Alright, I see all these people calling this show garbage, and I can't really blame them, but for personal preference I disagree, for one main reason. I enjoyed it well enough. This season is kind of disappointing since it's just a collection of the main bulk of hopeless romantic or silly harem members for the show. I spent the whole season waiting for him to meet back up with his classmates to show them what for. You see, in these shows, what really matters are reactions. Isekais are mostly self insert focused shows where the main character isn't too difficult to get inside the head of forthe audience, that way it's for easy for the audience to feel like they're the hero of fantasy world with cool powers. Because of that, people love seeing reactions, they want to see people get surprised at the power of the main character, and praise them, and continue to be surprised and impressed at the main character, because that's what feels good for the audience. However, in this show, there's barely anything shown, the only person that has really seen the main character's true strength is the level 700 gorilla wife, who fell in love with him for his strength and is never surprised by it after the first couple episodes. Arifureta is a show I enjoy a lot really (excited for the next season too), it has a very similar situation, though vastly different main characters, but the premise is the same. There's a character bullied by his class, who then gets OP in the new world after being separated from his class. Both this show and Arifureta benefit greatly from the tension created by the story leading itself towards a reunion between the class that bullied the now handsome and overpowered main character, and that same main character. Keeping the tension from being cut before a second season is released is probably the only way this show would survive for more than one season, and they didn't cut the tension, which is good for the show.

I hope the second season comes out without a hitch, because I do want to re experience that tension from Arifureta, but otherwise, it's a pretty bang on average Isekai Harem, if you've got time then you can watch it I suppose.
