You should watch it because of the joke that Cid invents a conspiracy to act mysterious and doesn't realize that he has gotten absolutely everything right.
You'll like it if you're looking for power fantasy, misunderstandings, and a parody that also really enjoys the posturing of the genre.
What sets it apart from the usual power isekai is that Cid does not want to be the hero: he plays the mysterious supporting role that pulls the strings and his improvisations end up being true.
