read some of the isekai manga and you will see some of the issues that are present (a few start with the MC working himself to death) a lot of the issues are more complex and they have some of the most draconian gun laws that I know of.

I can give some suggestions depending on the type of story you want. I like my trashy anime.

There are ones that are light hearted and dont really take themselves seriously and others have worlds that are kind of bleak especially how you came about reincarnating. Like the god or whoever brought you in is typically an asshole. There are others that make a parody of the genre. Then there are others that seem normal for the fantasy setting. They also like to invert some themes. Like whoever looks good is actually bad and vice versa. They also like to make people that look weak are actually strong and strong looking people are actually weak.

Let's say that if I knew this kind of life existed, I probably would take it without thinking. Would love to have a second chance in life knowing what I already know from my mistakes.

Hmmm. Someone just told me to watch A Silent Voice. Gonna start there, but I'll take an easy Netflix-able introduction from ya.

Don't think that is quite an isekai because it doesn't involve going to a different world but it does sound interesting. Now I don't know about netflix since I dont use them anymore but you can easily watch anime for free on crunchyroll where it is paid by adds. Paying for the subscription just gives you early access to the shows when they air and removes the add, otherwise you wait like 2 weeks to access the shows for free.

In the order I would recommend and their reasons and in case you want to look into it more.

​

  1. Konosuba - Pure comedy gold
  2. That time i got reincarnated as a slime - most modern popular traditional take in the genre

For slightly darker undertones but I definitely recommend those first 2.

  1. Re:Zero - At first you are happy at being in a new world, but that is short lived because all you do is mostly suffer. It deals with a respawn mechanic that you can't control, because it is a curse. So when you die you get reverted back to a checkpoint and the tradeoff is that you remember all of the events including your death. Kind of fucks with the main character's reality. He is grossly in love with one of the main characters and does everything for her.

  2. Saga of Tanya the Evil - Main character doesn't believe in god despite the god claiming they are god by stopping reality. This god tries to get the character to recognize they are a god. So they send them into an alternative world with magic during an era similar to WW1. He influences the events to try to get the person to recognize that they are a god. Main character tries to live out their life in peace but this god is having none of it.

  3. Overlord - You played an mmorpg and was in one of the strongest guilds. So now you spawned in a new world with all the abilities you obtained. Your guild was based on monster races. You are essentially the most broken person in that world but the character realizes there my be others like him and plays things cautiously because they could take you out. This does also have humor in it.

  4. The Rising of the Shield Hero - Starts of on a good start for the main character until the bitch of a princess accuses that you raped her on top of the fact that your weapon is a shield and people look down on that type of hero. The other heroes get everything handed on a silver platter and are typically morons. The main character has to essentially scrape by and work his way up, with everything initially stacked against him.

​

Bonus if you made it this far

ISEKAI QUARTET - Having a world with the characters from Konosuba, Re:Zero, Saga of Tanya the Evil, Overlord, And the Rising of the Shield Hero intereact with each other in a school setting they are essentially trapped in.

So I'm a Spider, So What? - Currently my favorite but would not recommend to someone new, mainly because it takes awhile to wrap your mind around it. 1 Story that deals with 2 different perspectives dealing with 2 different timelines because of a time gap leading to the current timeline. Nobody cares about the typical hero story that deals with the humans. The main draw is the perspective of the spider who starts out as a baby spider in one of the most toughest areas in the world and has to essentially fight for survival. With everything essentially stacked against her.

​

As you can probably tell I am deep in this rabbit hole.
