The anime in itself is good and I enjoy the story they are actually telling. No I haven't read the manga so that plays no part in my opinion. My BIGGEST beef is with Cid the protagonist. While he does have good ideas and is able to figure out how to get out of some of these situations, the dude is so frustrating to say the least.
He wants to play as a background character, which for the most part isn't that bad. It is a common trope in certain isekais, but for whatever reason instead of trying to stick to the background he comes up with every plan that puts him at the forefront of every situation.
Anyone with half a thought could tell that his attempts to 'play' off certain situations just makes it seem that he is hiding something. In the first arena fight instead of just getting knocked out of the fight and call it good, he gets up time and again to re enter the fight, which is completely contrary to be a background character.
On top of he has to explain he is trying to be the background character or what a background character does almost every episode or multiple times an episode. If he wasn't so frustrating it would be much more enjoyable.
During the fight with the ghouls every time he runs into a new character all he does is repeat the same sentences which is also a major annoyance.
