In this case it doesn’t reflect poorly on the anime.
It’s pretty good.
The anime is about Azusa Aizawa, a “corporate slave” who dies from exhaustion and is reincarnated as a powerful witch.

She starts to slowly build up the community around her, along with friends and family.

Adele, the MC, dies and is reincarnated. Her wish was to have average abilities, assuming it will give her an easier life.
