1/2:

I liked the double premiere a lot more than I expected to given the generic title. There have been several other anime with mostly the same premise plus even the same title and they were nothing special. What works for me in this one is the mc not being new to the world: he is rather experienced, knows more about the status of the world than he lets on and has a very pragmatic attitude (plus the skills to back it up). The contrast with the hero party who very much fit the cliche of one is also something I can appreciate.

I am curious to see where the story will go next.

Yah, I also found this one more entertaining than I thought I would. It's not like I broke out the foam fingers and am eagerly waiting for next Wednesday to roll around, and I'm gun shy enough about loli female leads that I wish they hadn't introduced the demon lord's daughter with a wedding proposal though the MC's reaction was appropriate. But, I like the basic premise, and I do wonder what secret the MC discovered that allowed him to reach max level and how he discovered it. I wonder that in the way I think the anime wants me to wonder about it. Is this a stealth isekai or what?

The story is interesting enough that it keeps me invested. It is pretty obvious that the demon king is not in control on that side so that leaves the question of who is. Most of the hero party seem up for a conversation besides the magician, given her brief flashback she is filled with hate. A few things shown make the human side also seem a but dubious so there is likely not a ''good guys side'' in all of this.

Could be similar to A Wild Last Boss Appeared! in that a god is messing about with some kind of plan.
