Just a question I wanted to ask since I was playing Sword Art Online on my PS4 the other day.

I've ended up all the way into LNs for those. They all have some anime and manga. Begin with the anime and if you like it, you'll gravitate towards the manga and maybe then the LNs if you need more.
Bookworm is probably one of my favorites in terms of worldbuilding. The MC is very much a gremlin, only caring about her own goal but slowly learns to see the world, appreciate what she's got(her family) and coping with her limitations. She's probably my all time favorite in the genre.
Overlord I love also, I prefer to see the other POV characters, the ones not overpowered and then see these godly beings fuck shit up. Was especially fun in the men in the kingdom arc and later on holy kingdom arc.
Personally couldn't stand Mushoku Tensei. Too vulgar for my tastes and I thought the character development really wasn't as good as people make it out to be. It always really seemed like they didn't address the protagonist's many, many flaws in a meaningful way.
Animation was excellent though, and it at least tried to take the protagonist's flaws seriously, putting it above 90% of other isekais lmao
Yeah a bit too vulgar to my taiste too ( the slutt-by-curse female elf on top of everything else takes things into stupid territory ), but I still enjoy it enough to keep going. The art style looks good ( with some God-aweful moment, like the ''uncanny melted staircase'' in a shot of the school ).
But two major plot elements of the season 2 Magic School arcs just suck. The ''I can't recognize my best friend with a different hair color'' thing, and the whole ''I could be saving my mother's life, but instead, HIGHSCHOOL SITCOM LIFE hahaha''.
I want to slap that Rudeus Main Character across the face.
Previous season had his father hate his guts so hard because he thought Rudeus was having fun chilling instead of bother to try to find his family.
Well now Rudeus is doing that. Utterly contemptible.
I'm expecting a Deus Ex Machina ''akshually I discovered Teleportation and got there faster, haha!'' and will hate his gut anyway.
Just curious how far did you get into MT?
I read the manga and got up to the point where he deals with his erectile dysfunction by sleeping with the elf girl, at which point I realized this probably wasn't for me.
I see, fair enough. If/when season 3 comes out, it will be bonkers if the studio maintains the level of quality, so I would recommend considering to give it another shot then. Rudy's progress is pretty gradual and the volumes season 3 would adapt are perhaps the best in the series.
I'll second Mushoku Tense, Konosuba, and Overlord. Haven't seen Bookworm yet but I should check it out.
Bookworm is really good, but the anime barely scratches the surface. If you end up liking it I highly recommend the books.
I've read all LN's and every part has its place in the general story of Rudeus' life. The anime is synthesizing every important event as much as it can. Granted, the school arc is perhaps the slowest in the saga, but it'll pick up the pace again soon.
That's crazy you say that because it's skipping loads of shit. You must have dropped Vinland Saga.
