Technically not an Isekai, just fantasy.
They seemed to have expanded upon the origin story compared to the manga (not sure about the LN which I’ve not read), and also gave a reason why Light’s gift was not useful until it did.
It would have been better story-wise that Light did not trust Mei right away. Remember he was just betrayed by the party he trusted. But I guess we can’t expect too much from a power fantasy.

Wasn’t this explained in the first few pages of the manga? I’ve not watched the anime yet, but I could have sworn it was because
his ability is dependent on how deep into a dungeon he was?
You guess is correct and I must have just missed or forgot they mentioned it. I also don’t remember the whole part from before he joined the party that betrayed him but it’s been quite a long time since I read the manga.
I still haven’t watched any of the anime, but I do believe there was origin prior to the party. However, it was peppered throughout the manga and not part of the first chapter. Though, most of the “prior to getting to the dungeon” that we see in the manga is similarly peppered iirc.
Tbh it’s one of the reasons I didn’t think this manga would work well as an anime without some rework. It’s story is oddly structured, and it was a little lacking in the story department beyond
I’m super powerful now, let’s literally torture the people that ruined my life.
Remember he was just betrayed by the party he trusted and Mei was treating him extremely well for no apparent reason. But I guess we can’t expect too much from a power fantasy.
What option did he have? He was stuck in the bottom of the dungeon with high level monsters around. Plus, she was produced by his own ability.
Even if he didn’t have a choice, like when someone is offered a foul-looking dish to eat by some relative one can’t refuse, he could have shown the slightest bit of hesitation, but there was no hint of that.
Done!

So far, this is true to what I remember, though I actively try to forget as much as I can about it.

Ha ha, not the worst story that exists but there are definitely tons more things to use your brain capacity on.
