I hate to just compare it to Konosuba, but it really didn't come off as interesting, either in its characters or premise. I figured that enslavement would have been a big deal, but it seems to be something you can just get yourself rid of at any local church. MC just has dumb power hacks from being experienced in the game, and it comes off much less relatable than someone who starts from scratch.

Real MMOs are designed to be "Skinner box" techniques in practice. They give you a lot of rewards early on before making it clear you have to pay money if you actually want to play the game for fun/competitively as more than basically an NPC with a human behind it. Sure there's the legitimate "free to play & not play to win" games, but those always have some sort of catch to them like a progression system based on time in-game rather than building skills Skinner Box-style, or communities that will actively shun you if you don't buy the "totally not upgrades" to customize your character. That's why the best "MMOs" have always been single player easily-moddable games with online multiplayer/GM support such as Neverwinter Nights or Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy. Modern MMOs almost all rely on suckering you in via addiction in order to make you spend cash on shit. It's a time sink worse than drugs that pulls you away from your hobbies and basically everything. You might find the rare community or server based around actually enjoying the game and having fun I remember some anon shilling mabinogi.ir here and on IRC before but generally those are rare gems. There hasn't been a "good" MMO in a long, long time. At least not in the traditional sense of the word.

The grind is good though. In your idea the game would be a VN between plot driven battles.

To be fair they've failed to capture the essence of the comedy in this one.
The guy is really autistic, as in it's not an act or simply embarrassment, the only way he can interact with other people is by role-playing as the Demon King (the translation says "communication disorder" not sure what the original nip says but he's clearly not just a hikki), they make him have all sorts of expression when all the confusion is in fact his inner monologue (like Momonga in Overlord).

Yeah that's what I though it's the DSM way of phrasing it.
In his case it would be "semantic-pragmatic disorder" (SPD) which isn't autism (but not far from it) as in it's not that he doesn't understand what is going on or anything like that he just really can't talk to people normally, his demon lord RP being the only thing he found to communicate to people "relatively" normally.
That's an important character trait because, to me at least, it largely excuse the typical harem shit (unlike the settings where a pervert has a dozen of girls lusting after his dick but doesn't fuck any of them for no reason).
Also since he has to act as a demon lord, he actually gets shit done and isn't passive.
So I think it's above average harem shit (it's still harem shit, pass your way if you don't like that genre).

Reddit loved it because it's a show concept that's an easy sell to normalfags who don't watch anime. Anime that gets popular enough to reach normalfags attention always had three qualities.
-An interesting concept that can easily be explained, such as "Die in video game die for real"
-The first episode has a moment where shit gets incredibly dark/serious. Having someone die horrifically with lots of blood always works.
-The first episode is actually good
Normalfags obviously don't need a good show, they just need to have reason to be convinced the show is good. Their initial impression is what determines their entire view of it. It's why so many of them say "I don't watch anime, it's nothing but child porn" despite it being easy as fuck to prove them wrong.

I like that they actually have people dying and sort of deal with people dying, most other isekais either just don't have it/glance over it, or they're off in the deep end where people die by thousands and death doesn't really matter. The steamrolling is nice too, despite it being a supposed cliche of the genre, few of them go all the way where the MC is blatantly overpowered and can fuck up just about anything.
I don't like that it's gonna be yet another fucking episode about the elf next week, just get to the brown fallen already. Or have one about the guildmaster.

The finality of their death and actually showing mourning and rebuilding after a fairly simple assault in the grand scheme of these isekai stories is nice indeed. The steamrolling is 50% of the reason to watch the other 50% is Rem. It seems Diablo has some magic recovery time, 10 days is long enough that he cannot fight seriously too often so he is a bit of a slow loading cannon. I'd rather have the guildmaster or brown fallen harem addition episode now too than another Elf. As long as the only threat to Rem, Krum, doesn't get dumped to the last 2 episodes all it good.

If I remember correctly, Volume 1 is mostly dedicated to princess Elf-slut while Volume 2 & 3 is dedicated to Rem (with the second half of volume 3 being dedicated to Krum). I haven't kept up with the anime so far but my guess is if they're already on episode 4 and they haven't begun Rem's arc, the chances are they'll extend Elf-slut's arc as long as possible and we'll be lucky to get Krum for maybe the last two episodes even though she deserves at least 4-6 episodes just for herself.

How so? It's nothing to write home about and the lewd scenes are usually forced as fuck, but most of the crap I can detect from it is from poor editing on the part of the TL. If you read a lot of LNs it's easily a solid 3.5 or 4 since while MC is overpowered and might be the toughest kid on the block, he's still the toughest kid on the block from the perspective of an MMO and thus can get his shit kicked in if caught off-guard or with the wrong items (and nearly does on multiple occasions).

LN goes on and on with every scene, and protagonist believes his own bullshit, as usual. Lots of unnecessary bullshit, like names of clothes which play no fucking role in anything. Generally every problem is poor writing skills of author.
Compare it to anime, whole intro takes 3 minutes in anime and its 3 parts of chapter 1. And later they just skipped part 4 because all part 4 say is "enslavement magic blah blah blah" as if someone cant misunderstood what it is. In anime its "I have a ring of magic reflection" which takes 10 seconds to explain whole situation.
In LN protagonist comes as edgelord kid, which is supported by illustrations. While in anime he is more mature and masculine. Basically same character, but older.
Most authors try really hard to "establish a world" but no one fucking cares about that fucking world which is described by author as "its generic mmo world".
On unrelated note, I wonder if vidrelated was referenced in last episode.

Did you happen to hate Overlord, Altina, and Konosuba as well, anon? The descriptions are part of what makes the series and they aren't completely pointless from the perspective of the later chapters. In fact in many ways they add that nice touch by reminding you that the MC is from an MMO world, not just any videogame. It seems like your issue is more with these style light novels in general rather than with Isekai Maou itself. I've yet to watch the anime, however the whole point is that the anime isn't going to cover later chapters and very rarely gets a second season, so they don't need to explain things in detail. The slave system plays an important aspect later. Anime in general wouldn't be able to convey a lot of this stuff in general so of course it's going to dumb it down to the lowest common denominator, but from the sounds of it, you're more upset with the material itself and the anime has just managed to gut it so much that you can watch it in a short interval (which will always be a point of contention between television and books).

Also in regards to MC seeming like an edgelord in the LB, that's intentional. He has a mature side but he's still coming from a point where he was an edgy autist (and quite aware that he's autistic). This another one of those things that if they already started him out as "mature" then you will see absolutely zero character growth as compared to the LN.

He took them only to perform the sickest experiment on them about souls/XP, healing magic and shit that would turn even /d/ off.

So its not important right now and if you say that its not gonna have next part means that its not important whatsoever. But its quite good as anime, so I will not be surprised if its gonna have next part.

There was a bit of a wasted opportunity here. MC went to get a weapon to make himself hold back but didn't take the opportunity to get weapons for Rem and elfslut.

I think he just has the generic pussy MC syndrome. Even if he acts like a demon lord, he's actually just as much of a vagina inside as any other generic harem MC, and as such he can't bring himself to kill someone, or just do anything in general.
It's really dumb to let these people live because he's not sticking around his low level harem 24/7, and they could easily kill one or two of the girls when MC's not looking.

But if he had people who cared about then there'd be a bit about trying to get out
This plot line was mentioned in passing in Familiar of Zero if I recall and surprisingly acted out in one of the first mmosekais .Hack//Sign
Which is a surprise since he actually is not only friendless but also abused, and the last leg of character development is her working through that

Krum's lewd was pretty damn minimal as expected. They even lengthened her skirt to always cover her crotch, and she was hidden behind characters. Literally nothing lewd.
Aside from a shitty boob scene where her breasts were upgraded to C-cups anyways.

Oh yeah, forgot to mention they completely downplayed Rem's fingering too, but that's expected. God forbid lewding small girls.

This was one of the few episodes that mostly delivered on the premise.
