(Average) The Great Cleric

Series in one sentence:
Drinking liquefied trash would be a more exciting experience.

Series in more sentences:
An overworked, but motivated salaryman is accidentally shot dead by a passing criminal, and reborn in a magical RPG world as an already 15 year old boy.

Not eager to fight the beasts roaming the land, he decides to choose the least dangerous job of healer, without knowing about the corruption that dominates this class. But Luciel vows to become a proper healer, honest and unbiased, quickly making a name for himself.

I like this take on the healer class, but Luciel loafs around in one location for way too long and most scenes are a drag. I hoped for a snappier training sequence and the guy actually leaving town by the second or third episode.
And when you think he's finally done and going on that big journey, he's dragged back into the adventure's guild..! God, move on, Great Cleric, stop the talking and monologuing, new scenery please..!
Episode 7 arrives and this stupid child finally says his farewell to the building he's apparently been kept hostage in for 2 years.. but at his next location has the nerve to remark it's the fucking exact same building in my presence, I'm killing myself!

Luciel is a boring good guy, I just didn't care for his breathy, long-winded rants and utterings of gratitude. He cries for whoever he fails to save, and that's nice and all, but I don't think his drive to become a healer makes sense with his background. It would've if he used to be an actual doctor in his past life -one who's made horrible mistakes that led to his patients' demise, for example.

There are also alot of pretty girl characters in this, because the isekai genre I love so much apparently can't exist without the harem genre I hate so much, and every one of them are even more boring and pointless than Luciel. They're not genuinely being pursued, either, their existence is merely to convey how kind and respected Luciel is. Wholly unnecessary.
