Forget the long title, the bottom line is that The Misfit of Demon King Academy was surprisingly fun. I enjoyed watching an OP MC beat up bad guys and stomping over everything without impunity.
So I recommend the show to people that enjoy OP MCs build his power and harem, or want to turn off their brains and just watch an action-packed show (although the action isn’t anything noteworthy).
Here are the watch order:

Intending to reclaim his rightful place, he enrolls in Demon King Academy, where he finds that his magical power is off the charts. Literally. And because they can’t measure his power, the faculty and other students regard Anos as a misfit.

As peace returns to the demon realm, Anos Voldigoad wishes nothing more than to put his reputation as the Demon King of Tyranny to rest and go back to being a misfit at the prestigious Demon King Academy. Unfortunately, any tranquility is fleeting: sinister demons, kings, and deities plot Anos’s demise from the shadows.
Rumors spread about the “Child of God,” a being whose power may rival that of Anos. To uncover the truth and eliminate the potential threat, Anos must journey deep into the land of spirits. However, the spirit world is shrouded in mystery, and it may only be entered after undergoing a series of difficult trials.
