Just out of curiosity, I really loved season 1 and it seems like there is still a ton of story to adapt and I don't think the light novel is finished yet? Which likely means this series could last over 100 anime episodes, eventually!

My question, just out of curiosity, what's your general opinion on the quality of the rest of the novel? Like, was season 1 the obvious peak of the series, or does it get even better and better with every arc, or do you think it stays balanced in quality for the entire series? I'm curious, but please don't mention any spoilers, not even names of arcs or anything minor!

EDIT: Just noticed the LN is actually finished, thanks for bringing it up but you don't need to repeat it anymore :)

As a LN reader, I personally think that Mushoku gets a lot better compared to the first six volumes especially past volume 12. However, I will say that LN 8-10 were relatively boring and lack luster compared to the first couple of volumes. Some people liked it, I personally didn't and I think I have the same opinion as the majority of LN readers. 

For the amount of episodes, I predict it will be four seasons (24 episodes) with a possible trilogy movie finale based on how the final arc was written.

if what I've heard is correct, ln 8-10 focuses a lot on politics and such matters. is that right?

Only read up to volume 10 of the LN, but personally I do think that the arcs that I've read so far have been on par or even better than the arcs that have been shown on the anime so far.

The pacing of the story slows down for a little bit after the content from Season 1, but you better believe it gets SO much better from that point onwards. Also there's enough source material for about 3 or 4 more seasons, so it's possible that Mushoku might have more than 100 episodes when it's completely adapted.

The LN's finished but not everything's been officially translated yet, volume 22's been the latest one with 4 more to translate. It'll most likely be over 100 eps, let's say that every season is 23 eps worth (split into cours), it'll be like 104 eps if it keeps up with this pace

I don't find season 1 of MT to be the peak of the series though, it'll probably be in the first half of s3 for me (aka vol 14 chapter 10 for LN readers to know what i mean)

For me, Mushoku Tensei is the best out of my LN repertoire. Impeccable worldbuilding and character writing complemented by amazing lore and synergy. Though, it wouldn't be easy to translate that into animation imo. The quality is consistently high throughout the series but there are obvious troughs and crests, and season 2 will mostly be adapting a trough. Not to say it's going to be bad, but it will be rather slow, chill (and weird?), kinda like part 1 of season 1, for the most part. However, season 2 will end with the highest peak in the anime series, ever. And I believe subsequent seasons will be able to top that. So, please do look forward to the full adaptation of Mushoku Tensei!

I love the ln and I’m caught up to the English release (22/26) so far it’s been my favorite ln by far and it’s been pretty consistent, obviously it has its highs and lows like every series but I’ve loved every second.

That's the overall ranking with manga and novels, but in the LN ranking it's #9th place and it gets better like much better in the later arcs. The anime will probably adapt decently enough, but compared to the LN the anime does not hold a candle against it

Thanks for the answers guys! It's pretty clear that this show will stay worthwile until it's end, I don't mind a few slower or weaker parts to be honest, and personally I did also enjoy the less action focussed episodes of season 1

I know it's maybe a dumb question for fans of the series that know that it's a good series, but as someone who read The Promised Neverland for example, you can never be too sure. That series showed so much promise with it's start but fumbles pretty hard, but now I know I can keep looking forward to Mushoku πŸ™‚

I have read 18 of 26 volumes, I have not read everything yet. There is still a lot to come, the story is very extensive, a lot will happen. However, it must be said that the LN has many moments which where quite slice of life-like and they stretched the LN pretty long. Nevertheless, many things are explained in the course of the LN that were not explained in the anime so far, and we really follow Rudeus step by step as he becomes a man. If they really decide to adapt the whole LN, Ig that it will take a long time.

Since it’s almost Fourth of July, I’ll give you a firework analogy. Imagine you and your friends all saved up your allowance for a single firework. That’s season one. Season two is like setting the firework up and lighting the fuse. Season three is seeing it take off and zoom up into the sky. Season four is seeing the beautiful explosion. At the end, you and all your friends are left completely satisfied.

In other words, the first season is not the peak. The quality doesn’t necessarily change, but the plot elements do. There are some amazing things to come.

it stays pretty balanced in quality but volumes 7-10 are probably the most boring out of all of them not to say they are not entertaining because they very much are but compared to all the others, they are much more boring

I think the rest of the books are even better than the first 6. Some will say 8-10 are a bit weak or boring but I actually enjoyed that portion a lot since it acted as a different change of pace that was actually needed for Rudeus in the context of the story, and it fleshed out various characters that would play a key part for the rest of the story. Even the final arc is pretty great and ends well, which is refreshing to see. I would say the peak is only coming much later for this series.

So far ive read all the way up to LN 15. LN 7 I found as one of the best, though LN 8 - 10 maybe even half way through LN 11 are a bit on the slower side, I personally really enjoyed them and still made the series really enjoyable as a whole. Also the characters introduced in LN 8 - 10 are really cool and interesting and some my favorite characters in the show. But so far LN 12 to 15 is very good and really enjoyable and honestly better than the first 6 LN featured in the first season. Hope this helps and if there is any questions please let me know :)

Peak of the series happens in LN 15
it STARTS peaking in LN12, or 9 if you are a fan of a certan character ,then it trully peaks at 15 and keeps going all the way to ln27, where the series ends.

s1 ended at LN 6, we are not even CLOSE to the peak yet.

You can get a feel of Mushoku's world by reading the novel. The adventure stories are great. There are some slice of life volumes/chapters but that's pretty much needed on series like this. You can't always be on throttle on story writing.

I like the EN LN and I'm updated. I think the latest officially translated volume would release in a few days.

The light novels aren't complete, but the web novel is.  You can complete the whole story.

Quality = it has ups and downs.  There's times when its really good and times when not much happens.  It has huge amounts of slice of life going on.

Since you are asking nicely, obviously without spoiling again, do characters generally die in the rest of the show? I do really like the combination of slice of life sections and then suddenly things going south like the turning point episodes, really makes you feel the impact more
Season 1 had some notable side characters die due to the mana event, so I'm curious if that's still gonna be a major thing. So I don't mean randos without a name dying but actual side- or even more important characters.

The light novel is finished, but its still being released in the translated version. When I read the LN at first, it was so incredible that I just read 15 books in 2 months (and I've never read any books by myself in my life!). So, I can guarantee that the story does not get stagnated in any moment, and the author wrote it in a way that just makes you want to read more and more.

The reason why this is one of my favorite animes and why I started reading it,  is with the character development and with what you were saying when bad things  happen to some notable characters and they dont exactly have plot armor. With this season there is a lot more getting to know new characters and starting to like them more and their background of who they are. But also with huge impacts like the turning points that change the show significantly. But without spoliers, "yes"  there is still gunna be some people that are not just random people dying that have a impact on the characters of the show which make the show feel more relatable because they aren't just forgotten the second they die and the characters move on. This season like I said previously tends to be slower but also has major story elements that are very important to the show and that really tell a great story and some scenes that are action packed. Hope this helps and lmk if there are anymore questions :)

Rudy is nearly adult so are characters around him, so no more pedophilia. Maybe once he does ugly shit to someone...
But this season sex is what both sides wants duh rudeus is not the one doing first move!
