When I woke up, I found myself inside a spaceship.
I guess you guys think I’m talking nonsense here, but I also have absolutely no clue about what exactly happened to me.
I was really close to completely losing it, but fortunately, I managed to notice that this place was really similar to the world featured in a game I was playing recently.
Am I dreaming? Nope, it’s no dream. Maybe I actually got sent to a different world or something?
But didn’t those things usually involve getting sent to a magical world with elves, dwarves, dragons and whatnot?
In any case, I don’t know what caused this, but I guess I’ll just have to suck it up and live properly in this world from now on.
It’ll be okay. I got my trusty spaceship so I can probably make some money. It’ll work out! It has to!
This is the story of a man abruptly thrown into space along with his private spaceship. He runs around the universe with it and saves damsels in distress along the way, flirts with said damsels, earns money as a merc-for-hire and uses his gaming knowledge to work his way into living freely and easily.

I hope this novel gets an anime adaptation soon. Very rarely is there an isekai anime with mecha elements in it. Moreover, the MC is quite overpowered and will continue to grow as the story progresses, but is often at the center of the problem. The depiction of characters is solid and brief but easy to understand. Describes the life of a mercenary that is different from the others.
Well, I think there’s a good chance of that happening since it’s gained quite some traction and even got published in English. The LN is up to Volume 9 on JP, with Volume 10 already on the way.
