Season 1
Shindou Yuu is an amateur model at the top of her class, and Hakozaki Kusue is a physically weak girl who misses school a lot. One moment, Yotsuya Yuusuke is thinking that the sight of these two together seems unusual… and the next, he finds himself in another world. Suddenly Hakozaki, a warrior who can’t even swing a sword, and Yotsuya, whose only weapons are a hoe and a sickle, are a party with zero combat experience stuck with the task of defeating a powerful troll.
Season 2
The boy Yotsuya saved in the Chinese restaurant, Torii Keita, turns out to be the fifth player. They're sent to the alternate world again, and after receiving the fifth quest, they head for Cortonel to track down some leads. There they find Kahvel, who is now a mother. The party is shocked to learn that 15 years have passed since their fourth quest, but that isn't the only thing that's changed in this world.

User Reviews
I'm in the process of trying to finish watching the series, **I'm Standing on a Million Lives** (_100-man no Inochi no Ue ni Ore wa Tatteiru_). I know that doesn't inspire more to view it, but it is the truth for now.
As it stands (for me) the show is dragging a bit. It's a little too pragmatic in that the series is not doing much to improve the MC's character. He's changing but like I've mentioned, the show is doing it slowly. Also his personality is a bit advanced for his age. He thinks strategically, which would not be bad IF he were older. I did not know he was supposed to be in the 9th grade. That makes him, at his oldest, maybe 15. Still his mode of thinking does not fit that narrative. And that is a bit off-putting.
I'll update this when I finish the series. I don't have a lot of enthusiasm for a positive review to be forthcoming. lol
Update Sept. 24, 2022 -- Yeah, I lost interest. The same issues I mentioned above just didn't make going back, to pick up the series again, worth it. It's slow, too pragmatic, and the fanservice is weak.
The show probably gets better, but I made it through half the series and had not been able to build the anticipation or enthusiasm needed to continue viewing.
So good luck in your viewing, I hope somenoe (with more resiliance) can give this a more comprehensive review.
