isekai so it would be right your alley
for the word of warning, It's very slow.
hop on to !lightnovels@ani.social if you want more japanese stuff
TBH I've never read a light novel, partially due to trash isekai stigma.
I've already heard about it due to anime adaptation. I'll probably watch it after Dr. Stone ends, since I've heard they are quite similar, Honzuki being more realistic of the two.
Yeah I could count non trash isekai on the finger of one hand.
Edit: The anime is really low budget so the quality isn't the best sadly.
Random fact: I can count to twelve with one hand
Edit: I didn't have any problem watching Detroit Metal City, and that one feels like it had the budget of a pack of cup noodles per episode
random fact: I can count to 31 on one hand but 11 is really hard to pull off, I also can count to 12 on one hand and dozenal system is clearly superior than decimal system.
IMHO one of the best or the best isekai light novel out there. I read like 24 out of the ~30 volumes by now.
It presents a really in depth and well thought out world.
