It's weird how much of a hit-or-miss MT is. I love it too; people call it "the grandfather of isekai" (that's only partially true), but it's from a more civilised time, when protags didn't have a [INSERT YOURSELF HERE] sign on their necks.

Fair but spoilerless warning, if you don't follow the manga, LN or WN: it'll likely start with an event that a lot of people feel rather meh with. But it's mostly a plot device.
