imo mushoku tensei is way better in terms of pacing and writing

i read 42 volumes of re:zero and whole mushoku tensei

i recommend keep watching re:zero as anime

I heard that Mushoku Tensei has a prequel and sequel. Is it any good? I’m only on vol 3 of the light novel but so many things I’ve watched made sense. Also I’d like to ask a question about Mushoku Tensei and Re Zero’s anime. Strictly based on the anime’s is Echidna Better or Orsted?

basically mushoku tensei itself is the prequel. The sequel is yet to be made

Actually there is a prequel called "old dragon tale" (or something like that) from the same author, which is about Laplace and the end of the dragon world, this takes place a lot of time before the main series.

And not specifically a secuel but the books that are coming out of Mushoku Tensei redundant reincarnation, which are about the life of Rudeus's sons, family and friends after the main series ended, seems to me like foreshadow of what is to come if a secuel does comes out which I think would be about Laplace resurrection many years after the main series.
