For me, I’m torn between Mushoku Tensei (very good worldbuilding) and Uncle From Another World (has the better direction)

    Mushoku is probably the best by such a large margin i couldn’t think anyone answering different was serious. Log horizon is probably the only isekai that’s done the modern game junk well.

      My biggest problem with Mushoku, and why I feel like I literally cannot recommend it, is because of the weird pedo stuff. It would be fine and easy to forget I guess if the show stayed in fantasy mode, but for whatever reason any time there is something slightly sexual the show writers decide to remind the viewer “erm actually the main character is a 40+ year old man.” That just pulls me right out of the show.

      The other parts are cool, but that one thing really stops me from enjoying it more.

      I stopped reading the manga after the erectile dysfunction at magic high school arc dragged on for months and ended with a relationship that still puts me off when I think about it. It’s like the author just can’t stop reminding the reader of what an unlikeable turd the MC can be. It is a very good story aside from those aspects, but that’s not enough for me to agree with your bold statement. I much prefer Iruma-kun, Overlord, Konosuba or Tsukimichi.
