Canvas.Fediverse.Events ended, and this caught my eye. She looks familiar.
Who is this character from?
EDIT: Thank you so much!

I'm not surprised - a lot of people hate Aqua. She's whiny, entitled, and she's always finding a way to fuck it up. I like her as a character doing a role in a story, but as a person (or god, whatever) I'd probably stay away from her.
About the anime being "more comedy than isekai": at least for me comedic value and "isekainess" are completely orthogonal. Even if both are used to define genres, one is primarily about the target reaction on the audience (to make them laugh), another about the setting (another world than the one that the protag is from).
My comment about the anime being more comedy was a direct comparison to the books which are more of an adventure story instead of a comedy one. I just used isekai as an adjective where i shouldn't have, which i could have been put better, sorry.
About our dear goddess Aqua, shes bad in the anime but her action come off as less serious. In the books a lot of the time it is clear she is purposely being a huge bitch and pain in the ass for no reason other then to be passively malicious. She definitely has some good moments, which she ruins every single time. Good read, waaay better then i first thought from my impressions of the anime.
Got it - and I kind of get why you used "isekai" there, plenty isekais are adventure stories.
That happens with me a lot when reading LNs. DanMachi (not isekai, I know) is a great example of that - the anime is OK, but actually following Aiz' thoughts in Sword Oratoria makes her a lot more relatable and understandable. Kind of opposite of what you're talking about Aqua, right? I guess we know characters better through novels than anime.
