It seems like every manga or anime adaption nowadays are isekais with absurdly long titles. As someone who hasn't read that much manga for the past few years but just started again, it's kinda crazy to see all these pop up. Are there actually any good ones out there? Or are most of them just "guilty pleasures"? The only one I've been reading is Ascendance of a Bookworm which is kinda interesting.

Edit: got a lot of recs, thanks everyone :)

Great explanation and recs! Sounds great. I think I was thrown off Tensura because of the fact that being reincarnated as a slime sounded too ridiculous (but I guess not as ridiculous as the ones where they reincarnate as a vending machine).
