No premise is safe from the light novel scourge.

So, the 1st vol. is yet to be published and it already has an adaptation? Even if it's a promo, you could still technically the anime came first (in terms of what got released first).

Sounds like the average, run-out-of-the-mill "low-rank boy meets a woman, begins to climb the ranks because he actually has a rare ability mistook for a useless one" or something. Even if it isn't the case, that synopsis isn't helping.

You know you need help when at first glance you recognize this illustrator's art style. Anime smile + sweatdrop

Watched the promo and thought it would be interesting, then I read the synopsis and I almost fell off my chair. Isn't this concept quite overused? It's similar to Baka and Test in some ways. I do like the art and animation though.

In terms of this trend of long LN names, I sometime it seems like they do so the translators will have a hard time translating the title into a foreign language (that is, the translation of what the long title translate to).

One that comes to mind is Yūsha ni Narenakatta Ore wa Shibushibu Shūshoku o Ketsui Shimashita which translate to "I, Who Didn't Become a Hero, Reluctantly Decided to Find a Job.
