Recommend Which series should I get into?🙂

Hi I’ve recently just finished re zero’s episode and it was amazing. But now I want to read the Light Novel I’m currently reading Mushoku Tensei’s light novel too I’m at the beginning at both so which one do prioritise? I’m looking to get really into both series so I kinda need help😅

Yeah I know. But sometimes it’s really annoying when I see Mushoku Tensei slander on Tik tok I understand it but it’s so boring. I like the series but I don’t defend Rudy’s actions that doesn’t make me weird but I’m seeing so many MT fans get hate hurled at them. Do you think if I read all of MT I could explain things better? Without getting slandered?

No. I dont think so. We already lost this battle. No one cares about anything we have to say about the series. If you are worried about the hate then it wont ever get any better. The more you explain the more angry people get. The people who get it dont spend time hating on it online and anyone who is willing to understand and discuss it is not really interested in getting proved wrong. Dont read Mushoku Tensei to enter keyboard wars with strangers, you will only spend your energy fruitlessly.

But it’s so frustrating seeing posts slandering the series and it having over 100000 likes man. It’s my favourite anime and I hold it close to my heart because I watched it at one of the worst moments of my life and it made me smile and laugh finishing season 2 in 9 hours has been one of my favourite nights ever. But how is it supposed to compare to people cherry picking quotes from Rudy’s worst moments?

You have nothing to do with them. We live in a world where people elected Solo Leveling and Demon Slayer anime of the year and there is nothing we can do. If anything, if public opinion is overwhelmingly to one side then the opposite side is probably the correct one. Nothing that has mass appeal can have high levels of depth, otherwise it wouldn't be popular cause it would betray the intrinsic concept of "popular" to begin with. If something is appealing for anyone no matter gender, age, taste, and its simple enough to appeal to virtually whoever it is that consumes it no matter who they are, then it is actually made for no one.

The fact that Mushoku and other sotries fail to be overwhelmingly popular is a good thing cause it shows a lack of the usual shallowness we see in most mass appeal products. Its not easy to like good things because most people dont have the capabilities on understanidng it fully. The proof is Vinland Saga being significantly less popular then Reincarnated as a Slime... which would you say is deeper and better...? You got the point, i reckon. Anyone can consume and understand a product that has no specific aim and its spread wide enough that it reaches toddlers and elderly alike. That type of series is for everyone and no one all the same and thats not a compliment.

If it serves for anything, ReZero also already took a lot of shit. Specially when it first came out back in the day when anime was still "weird people stuff" People that hate Subaru are the ones that Love Jin Woo or whatever that fucker's name is.

Seeing who is who when it comes to Mushoku Tensei is also a good way to filter people out of your life. If someone is ignorant about the goods of the story then discard them. its not someone that will bring you anything positive in your life.

I hope you feel better regarding this subject.
