Production Equipment
The series is animated by Yokohama Animation Lab under the direction of Masato Tamagawa (The Genius Prince's Guide to Raising a Nation Out of Debt). The character design is in charge of Kei Tsushima, while the design of summoned and demonic beasts is the work of Junji Goto.
Written by Hamuo and illustrated by Mo, the light novel began print publication in 2020 under the Earth Star Entertainment imprint. The story follows a "hardcore gamer" who is summoned to another world on the "Hell Mode" difficulty, where he must use his experience in "grinding" to survive with a terribly unfair game balance.
