Let me preface this by saying I'm a fan of the Isekai Genre and have enjoyed others where the main character is ridiculously overpowered.
The show is a multi-layered concept: Its a parody of a serious show that itself is a parody. Interesting concept and I really like pretty much all the characters except Cid. He's supposed to be cringe and the fact he wants to be a background character is fun but I just can't care about him.
There's zero threats or potential adversity he faces and most shows at least give a hint that there could be challenges in the future. He kills thousands of innocent bystanders because he's a sociopath who doesn't care about collateral damage as long as his AOE Nuke looks cool (Infact he literally calls it Atomic which is part of the overly-stated joke that the show is supposed to be). I don't know why I should care about anything he does.
The biggest issue tho, is the reason WHY he's so powerful (and its shown in the first episode). He drove himself insane in this pursuit of being so strong that nothing would be a threat to him (including a nuclear bomb) and in his ridiculously stupid pursuit he wanted decided MAGIC was real and then bashed his head on a rock and got hit by a car. His own obsession killed him but the REWARD is he gets unlimited power that he uses like a child with ADHD.
Hopefully you like it more than I did. The only things I want to see happen is either: A. Cid grows as a character and slowly becomes likeable OR B. Cid gets the crap kicked out of him in a extended punishment for his Hubris
However the show has made it very clear that NEITHER of those things will ever happen.
