This anime was very meh. The serious stuff just didn’t work at all with the gimmick of her wanting to clock out on time. In fact, it made Alina seem like an awful person, but not in a comedic way. In a Konosuba kind of way, her gimmick would be funny. In a generic isekai like this, it’s dumb, annoying and, well, gimmicky. The serious stuff wasn’t very good in general. Very tacked on.

It doesn’t deserve its OP. That effort is wasted here.

This is not an isekai. At least they managed to fabricate a fantasy setting without trying to pack that trope also.

  Oh yeah, you’re right. Generic fantasy and generic isekai have a lot of overlap, so sometimes they’re the same thing to me

the gimmick of her wanting to clock out on time

I feel like they could have done so much more with this. It was what, episode 2 before basically all the main characters knew that Alina was The Executioner? The whole keeping her identity a secret while still knocking out bosses to save herself work I think had a lot of potential. However, it was abandoned almost immediately with the one exception of her fellow receptionist crushing on her doll.
