Isekai Tensei: Recruited to Another World is your standard Isekai adventure story.
Story and characters: 6/10
-- Nothing is really all that special about it as it follows the same path as most other isekai's. You can pretty much take an isekai bingo card and place a chip on expected story events. The characters have decent personalities and they're easy to root for, but at the same time, they're not fleshed out well enough to allow you to grow attached to them.
Art: 3/10
-- It's bad. Character designs are as blocky as N64 graphics. Shading? There's pretty much no shading at all. It's just pure black
...
and and white. Because of the blocky art and lack of shading, you get disorientated trying to process events that are happening. The only reason why this is not a 1/10 is because the art does start to improve around volume 4, but even then, the characters art is still well below the acceptable standard for manga art. The backgrounds are nicely drawn, though. I'm going to be honest, I really don't like giving a bad score on art because it's such a subjective field, but the fact that the art makes it hard to process events in the story is what got me to rate it so low.
Enjoyment: 6/10
-- Even with the average story and bad art, I still found myself having fun reading it. However, that's just me and my ability to find enjoyment in any kind of fantasy story.
Overall: 4/10
-- There really isn't anything special about this manga. The story and characters are average, but the bad art is what really brings my score low. It doesn't feel like that the story has the potential to turn into something good and unique, so I don't see much improving on that front as it progresses. However, I can see the art gradually get better and I'm rooting for the mangaka to continue to improve on the character art.
