It certainly stands out as being a darker take on the genre, making it so that not every isekai light novel has an easygoing advantage. However Subaru still has the problem that there's not much appealing about his personality and can come off as pretty generic.

I felt that Subaru differs greatly when compare to other isekai protagonist as he is not outrageously strong. Dull as he maybe, he at  least cover his insecurities by pretending to be great,  something not many people do. Other isekai protagonist easily gather allies or become powerful while Subaru actually has to go overboard to get people to even like him. Most importantly, his harem is considerably shorter,  only 3 girls and one kid and it might be one of the few anime  where the protagonist can have 2 girls (Go Team Rem)
