  1. Well, the first 5-ish volumes of Average Abilities LN were actually pretty decent, imo. It's a rare "relaxing" isekai that actually has some semblance of character development, worldbuilding and overarching mystery. Though the development was extremely slow, and after 10 volumes it still got basically nowhere. The characters themselves are pretty colorful, and I didn't find them particularly annoying. Though nowadays I'm way more tired of these common isekai tropes, so there's a chance that if I read the story right now I would find them a lot more annoying. My problem with this story is that it didn't end while it was still good. Eventually it just starts getting boring, and the jokes start getting dumber and rather repetitive. The overarching mystery also gets nowhere. The author still manages to keep some level of quality, and it is still somewhat fun to read, but at some point I just stopped caring. I tried watching a few episodes of the anime, and, honestly, it's hard for me to judge it since I've read the source material, but I didn't like it at all. It changed a lot compared to the source material, and while I don't think it's a problem, but I compared how some scenes were handled I couldn't help but feel that the LN version was better. For example, I recall there was a scene in the LN where the MC intentionally lost in a fight to seem weaker than she actually is, but her examiner still realized that she is a lot stronger than she pretends since she avoided all the blows that could hurt her. In the anime... she just snaps when someone calls her flat-chested and accidentally wins the fight. The Ln also has a lot of these types of jokes, but there were also some good ones. Though, I guess, this type of the anime is more similar in quality to the later volumes of the LN.
