Hard to call it greatest isekai.

Ascendence Of Bookworm is the only isekai that has enter hall of fame in Kono Light Novel Ga Sugoi.
Slime isekai has the highest LN sales with 30 million, Mushoku Tensei has 11 million if I recall correctly.

Mushoku Tensei lacks consistency. It is rather weak from Volume 18 onwards. I find Volume 13 and Volume 18 boring.
I will read Volume 22 before deciding if I should drop it.

The next big isekai are Dahlia In Bloom and Modern Villainous. I have not read them yet. Well, the number of isekai has reduced over the past few years.
Sales means nothing for the most part when it comes to quality, so I'm not watching Slime's (Albeit it being another great isekai too) sales but as for everything else, I respect your opinion on the matter

Just completed Volume 22. It does get better again with princess Rudeus and champion Eris. XD
For me, Volume 13, 18, 20, 21 are the weakest volumes, the best volumes are volume 12, 15, 17.

I agreed that sales does not equal quality, sales equal to popularity which does not equal to quality. Most of the highest selling LNs are wish-fulfillment.
Current LN sales numbers:
1) Index: 31m 
2) Slime Isekai: 30m (expected to surpass Index at the end of this year)
3) SAO: 30m
4) Mahouka: 22m
5) Apothecary Diaries: 21m (expected to surpass Makouka at the end of this year)
I cannot comment on Slime Isekai because I got bored reading it. 
Fun Fact: When Apothecary Diaries anime is announced, LN community went crazy, the LN Discord server I am in become flooded with messages for the whole day.

In the LN side of things, isekai era is over. Romcoms make up of 60-70 percent of new LNs.

I still cant take this anime, this MC is on another lv of pedo perverted... I just cant watch him doing these stuffs like is nothing.. 
Facts, people are just blind. Trust me even my own friends are blind, calling it "the best Isekai".
I still wonder why people like this so much, I read the manga adaptation when the release starts... the world is interesting and side characters are cool, but the MC is just fuc$% PEDO pervert! And he don't even try to hide it... I tried to watch the anime, because I still look at the manga, but wtf, it takes the level of being disgusting and disgusting to another level.. I can't like him not even a little, you saw the trailer? (I wonder, everyone saw)? he was crying on the panties he stole from his teacher, and worse he's going to make an altar for her and worship her like a hallowed family treasure.. in short, he's among one of the worst MC's I've ever seen, if not the worst, does it have growth? yeah, but he's still a PEDO pervert and he hasn't changed a bit about it... it's just disgusting to watch anyway, he have lust for childs and never fix this shit, and I don't know how anyone can like this nasty MC.. but well, everyone has their own tastes, that's why there are people who like it...

Let's goooo! Didn't expect it will air this July.

Summer 2023 anime lineup are getting stronger.

Just finished season one earlier this month. Although I enjoyed it, it didn't click with me as much as I hoped. Don't have anyone I truly like among the cast yet. Hopefully second season picks up so I can be more hyped for this news.
