  Yup. S1 was good until the last couple episodes. That is to say, it was good enough to overshadow its negatives. Haven’t touched it since.

  The isekai genre as a whole has grown since then and it just doesn’t fair well compared to the competition.

    Ever since I started reading books I’ve felt like isekais really only have a starting concept and nothing more. Is there a single one that’s actually managed to make a full arc with an ending?

      Mushoku Tensei has the best chance. It’s super cringe at the beginning but it has genuine character growth.

        I’ve actually read the first couple of light novels of that series, and while it feels much more ad-hoc than other books, things actually seem to have a direction.

      There have been a few. The Vision of Escaflowne, Garzey’s Wing (I won’t claim it’s good though lmao), Spirited Away, A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court, and The Chronicles of Narnia come to mind.
