I bet that most of our reading/watching lists have a few hidden gems. Which ones do you recommend to the other people here?

Bookworm is one of those series whose fanbase might not be the biggest (outside Japan anyway), but they are super devoted. In fact, there is a whole lemmy instance devoted to the series! For as dedicated as the Bookworm community is to the series, it has managed to remain remarkably wholesome at the same time. I have not yet consumed any of the series myself, but have only ever had positive interactions with other fans. I have written before about how I have always kind of held this series in my back pocket for when I get sick of bad isekai, I know I can turn to Bookworm for a good one.

Yeah, its one of thr better ones. Probably because the isekai aspect was an afterthought to the author and wasn't added to the story because it is popular but because it was necessary. It made sense. And this trend continues. Things happen because they make sense, not because of some trend or something.
