    Loner Life Isekai

    I just binged this. It was better than I expected but that’s only because I wasn’t expecting much. I think I agree that it doesn’t really deserve a Season 2. Not because it was bad but because by the end of Season 1 it’s no longer Loner Life. Like the whole premise is that he has trash skills and is a loner. By the end he’s OP and not a loner. And they’ve exhausted a lot of the unique story elements such as the wall of skills and the cheat skills so moving forward it would just be generic isekai.

      That is exactly what happens. I read the manga quite a bit past where the anime ends and this is pretty much it. This anime was specifically adapting the manga instead of the light novels. From what I understand, the LNs actually have a bit of a unique (and polarizing) style that sets them apart. By comparison, the manga sticks closer to safe, generic isekai.
