This light novel series, authored by Imazi Mujina, emerged during the mid-2020s within the prolific 'narou-kei' landscape of Japanese web literature. Like many entries in the genre, it originated on the Shousetsuka ni Narou platform before being picked up for physical publication. The narrative follows a trope-heavy structure common to modern fantasy light novels, focusing on a protagonist who possesses immense, unacknowledged power while maintaining the humble occupation of a gatekeeper or, as the title implies, a sewer cleaner in a world filled with high-level threats like dragons and ancient golems.

The design and aesthetic of the print volumes are tailored to the light novel market, featuring character illustrations that emphasize the contrast between the protagonist's mundane responsibilities and the epic, high-stakes nature of the surrounding fantasy world. These series are typically received by fans of the genre as a form of lighthearted escapism, prioritizing the 'misunderstood hero' motif and the satisfaction of secret strength being slowly unveiled. The work serves as a reflection of the current trend in Japanese publishing that favors long, descriptive titles designed to act as a summary of the premise for potential readers browsing digital storefronts.
