What would you recommend to someone who enjoyed Goblin Slayer, Campfire Cooking, Solo Leveling, and Rising Of the Shield Hero but didn’t care for Gurren Lagann, One Piece, or Seven Deadly Sins?

From a very lazy bit of rummaging through my anime folder...
If you want some good isekai trash I can recommend Arifureta. Dude's class gets isekaied, he has shitty powers and gets dumpstered into the deepest hole of the dungeon and has to claw his way back to the surface and becomes very jaded en route.
Gate might be a refreshing take on the isekai genre. Basically the Japanese military goes to a fantasy world and fights dragons with helicopters and all of the grunts are hopeless otaku on the weekends so they're pretty stoked to go to a world with cat girls.
Grimgar: Ashes and Illusions: The grimdark feeling of Goblin Slayer mixed with isekai. Basically what if your adventuring party wasn't the chosen heroes who set out to defeat the dark lord but instead you all were getting punked by level 1 goblins instead. Kind of a melancholy piece but really well done.
Youjo Senki: WW2 but with magic and also our protagonist is being strong armed into being religious by god. There's some good writing to it that just kept me coming back for more. Maybe it was the sarcasm and cynicism of the protagonist as I tend to be a sucker for that sort of thing.
I would describe Youjo Senki as "what if Hitler was a 9 year old girl in WW1 Germany who can fly and shoot magic bullets".
Either way it's a real good romp.
