I started getting into anime and manga in the Spring of 2013. The first anime I watched, High School of the Dead, at the recommendation of my college roommate, I ended up watching in one sitting -- up until the wee hours of the morning. When he woke up, I had just finished the last episode and was preparing to go to school. Looking back, it was not that that series in particular was brilliant -- in fact I watched it with some poor quality English dubs on Netflix and have watched anime that I have enjoyed a lot better since. Yet, it served as a gateway for my interest in anime and manga.
I'm a guy who loves literature, otaku stuff and writing. I do each of these as much as my schedule allows me. My favourite genre is Slice of Life. Non Non Biyori and Nichijou will remain very dear to me. I feel a bit sad every time I think about not being able to watch these with the joy of one watching it for the first time ever again. If anyone has recommendations for some nice SOL's, I'd be very happy to receive them. I like to laugh. Something about this medium just keeps pulling me back. I can't quite put it into words, but I found a community of people who loved it too and wanted to discuss it with me. I think that, more than anything, made the experience so magical. If anyone wants to be friends with me, just drop me a request. I like discussing shows and chapters a lot. I would like to do it in a place other than the nefarious /a/. As for the future: I've spent about 6,400 hours on anime and manga. I'd like to see that reach 10,000 -- just for giggles. Having watched all the anime I have, I've come to realize that someday, I would like to be as cool as my man Ginko. I know this is not likely, but damn, a man needs to dream.  Man I just can't wait for Non non Biyori : Repeat  Enjoy some videos from Gintama It's not rap, it's Katsurap |

It's been going well, I have started a better job in a hospital. Only problem is that my hours are such that I wake up at 3 am. I leave early at least and avoid traffic. I haven't been as active in anime watching last year and barely finished new things. Yagate Kimi ni Naru was the only real reason I started watching anime this season again and it was because a friend wanted to watch it together.
Now if we were to talk about novels... I might have something I can recommend!
If you want the satisfaction of finishing something, consider oneshots.
¤ The Probability I can Kill my Wife Without being Found out
¤ About the Reckless Girl who kept Challenging a Reborn Man like Me
These oneshots are something you must dive into without any idea what they are except the catchy titles.
If you want something more lengthy and is consistently updated, I found that korean novels seem to be doing well.
¤ The Novel's Extra
¤ Trash of the Count’s Family
I won't go into length about why I enjoyed them, but I think I enjoyed Trash more than destruction flags. They share similar premise, but the main characters have different motivations and personalities. They are currently the most popular novels right now according to novelupdates too..
We should talk with a better medium. Are you living in Florida right now?
Happy holidays if I don't stop by before that time.
Life's been busy.
Anyway you should start by finishing as much of the stuff you're "currently watching", because I just don't see how you can have over 100 unfinished anime in the pipeline.
After reading Isekai wa Smartphone, Mushoku Tensei feels like a huge shift in tone. Although I did in fact enjoy Isekai wa Smartphone a great deal, mainly to see what kind of kingdom the MC would build and whether it will actually go through with this harem, till the very end. But I do get what you mean, when you said there's no real sense of danger or purpose, which is part of why I can't get enough of Mushoku Tensei right now. It's nice to see an MC put years of effort into becoming incredibly strong, but it is not so nice that the MC is a pervert who keeps referencing shit (like his One Punch Man training regiment).
Anyway, I don't think I have any good recommendations for you, since you've probably read all the "kingdom building" light novels I can think of. Especially since I've only just gotten into the genre and I've stock-pilled on a years worth of light novels to check out like: Tsuki ga Michibiku Isekai Douchuu & Dungeon Defense. So much to choose from. ^_^
I've also been inspired to actually make more liberal use of lower ratings. I remember this one time in high school English class when we passed around a sample essay and were told to grade it as if we were official graders. I was the only one who not only nailed it at a 3/10 (the score it actually got IRL), but was also the only one willing to dip below a passing score. If that's any sign of actually being able to have a discerning judgment then I gotta use it right?
Muv-Luv has a unique twist on this i would recommend reading the visual novel trilogy, there is anime adaptations unfortunately none of the side stories capture what makes the original great. The only other series i have seen masterfully handle genre/mood shifts is Gintama.
And believe me i have looked everywhere for a similar experience as the two mentioned.
I would recommend the manga's but the only good adaptation is Alternative and it's just not the same.
It is certainly not comparable to Gintama.
Oh I had no doubt but in terms of writing Gintama is highly misleading even as it slowly reveals itself episodes 30+ it's not until the Benizakura arc we actually get a real taste.
I was more making my comparison to this and how it may be hiding in plain sight before it leaps out at us, personally this sounds like just that.

Shifting from a fantasy harem to mecha and an other worldly threat rather than just briefly introducing mecha is already plenty note worthy and unorthodox in not only Isekai but any genre. But yeah i'm not expecting anything on the levels of Gintama.
This actually has two ova's and i have felt compelled to read it one day, seems to be something pretty early for its time being published in 1994 i'm even more intrigued.
Also as chill as this series seems every now and than i run into something with genre shifts/mood shifts the potential seems to be there with subtle hints and world building as seen at the end of the time we see a mech teased in professors lab as well as an otherworldly threat, something like that immediately makes me think of Muv-Luv or Gintama which is the "unique" approach of building a story before shit hits the fan unlike copy cats like Madoka Magica that throw in shock factor in episode 04 i'm more looking for a long ride where the unexpected happens deep in the series.
I'm also curious why the novel is labeled as sci-fi and mecha if it's just a small part of the series on raisingthedeadninja.
I am however enjoying it for what it is right now a simple slice of life which is a guilty pleasure.
How are life things and such? We ought to chat about them weather topics and other things we share in common.
Recently I watched Re:Zero finally and that got me out of the slump of not watching stuff. I feel like.. there were a lot of factors in play that got me to like it so much.
- I had zero to low expectations aside from people telling me the concept.
- I watched it in one sitting.
- Subaru is so interesting as a character. His mental state was driven to the limits and behaved in irrational ways up until a certain point when he started developing as a character.
I had more thoughts, but I rather not type walls. Let's talk yea?
Ah. Also..
For Tensei Shoujo no Rirekisho, did you read more of it since your review? Heard character development dips in the later chapters. Would you stand by your rating?
Geez this got long. One last thing.. Read this if you haven't.

The POV chapters are the best.
Also read Release that Witch it's my favorite novel right now.
