The New Gate definitely has many of the types of the typical Isekai story - the main character is stuck living in the world of a video game, he's vastly overpowered, there are quests to do and monsters to fight. Having tried a fair few of these types of stories at this point though, I would say this one is above the average. The worldbuilding is well thought out, the characters are likeable and I found it very entertaining. 

I read this manga volume having first viewed the anime series, and on the basis of that I would say that the story and especially the character relationships improve quite a lot after the events of this first volume. I did have a good time with volume one but I'm hoping and expecting that the sequels will be earning four stars in my reviews rather than the high three.
