The Rising of the Shield Hero

I'm an enjoyer of isekai trash so when I saw Shield Hero at an 8 on MAL, and being generally well regarded, I expected it to be pretty solid. Instead it felt like every time something interesting was about to happen the author took the most boring route possible. Add to that the 'grade school' nature of some of the plot and I found it to be a miserable watch.

As a fellow isekai trash connoisseur, I had a similar experience with Shield Hero, but in the manga form. It has its moments that are good. Particularly when the story focuses on the friendships within the main party. However, most of the time Naofumi interacts with characters outside of his party, it's pretty stupid.

I read the LNs and honestly wish I hadn't

I don't remember what I hated about the series at this point but I hated a lot by the end of the last volume
