Mushoku Tensei is a unique isekai series that follows Rudeus Greyrat, who is reborn in a magical world after a rather pathetic exit from his regret-filled first life.
What’s particularly engaging about Mushoku Tensei is that it doesn’t present Rudeus as an all-conquering hero right out of the gate. He is naturally strong, yes, but in a world teeming with mighty figures like the Orsted and Hitogami, he’s certainly not at the top. The story, instead of being a typical power fantasy, focuses on Rudeus learning how to be a better person – or at least a less terrible one – in ways he never could in his previous life. It’s a long sprawling story that spans multiple arcs and each of them focuses on different stages of Rudeus’ life.
