Main Character in Another World: Rudeus Greyrat (Mushoku Tensei)
There is a question at the heart of the isekai genre. If you were reborn in another world, what would you do? If you were given a whole new life, how would you spend it? How would you do it differently? Most isekai are happy to ignore this question. “Don’t think, just enjoy the power…
