The world of this series is one of the most game-like of its genre. All the characters except the MC act like actual NPCs. I'm not saying that's wrong, it's something no series touched yet. So it's not just the physics of Roxanne's body.
My problem is that the series is insanely slow burning. We almost halfway through the season and there was essentially no plot progression. That's not essentially a problem, given the series is 2 or 3 cour so has the time to get somewhere, but there is no sequel announced yet.

I think that is my problem right now. The series is spending too much time treating Roxanne like a sex object instead of progressing the plot. A large chunk of time every episode is spent searching for justification to remove Roxanne's clothes. It is a problem that it isn't even subtle and is kind of tasteless, and it crosses into uncomfortable territory for me because she is a slave. Her being willing is not a particularly good excuse here. Lastly, I favor shape over size and her breasts change shape and size every scene so Roxanne does absolutely nothing for me. I am clearly not the target audience for this series.
Ignoring the fan service and looking at this from the other side of the coin, even if the world is the most game-like of the genre it is still incredibly dull and generic. The world isn't particularly interesting. There are no likable characters. The guild system is not particularly fleshed out.
Even if a sequel is announced I have very low confidence the situation would change if their current work is any indicator. Ignoring the name of the series to make this conclusion, I get the impression the series is using a fantasy world as a backdrop to sell sex instead of creating a fantasy world that happens to have sex in it.

The reason I'm not bothered by nothing being fleshed out, it because it meant to be that way. It's essentially an MMORPG where the player character ignores the lore and just grinds dungeons to level up. Same goes for Roxanne's role in it (as a sex object). It's meant to be nothing more. I think it would be wrong to judge any series based on what it's never meant to be. This is a soft core hentai series with higher than average production value and something resembling to a plot. Sort of like Minerva no Kenshi. Only that one fleshes out the world and characters a lot more. Then again, it's not an isekai where everything except the MC are literal NPCs.
