In my time on this blog, you have heard me mention something called \u201cThe Seven Summits of Isekai.\u201d Putting it simply, it\u2019s a term I use for what I consider to be the titans of the isekai genre. The series that put in the legwork to make the worlds the protagonists get summoned and\/or reborn into feel real. In other words, the good stuff that stands mountains above the usual isekai fare. Mushoku Tensei<\/em> is among those seven, and, after reading over the webcomic, I was looking forward to adding its spiritual younger brother, The Beginning After the End<\/em>, to the group. However, after seeing the first episode, I may need to rethink its membership.<\/p>\n For those who haven\u2019t already, I highly recommend <\/em>you head over and read my initial overview<\/a> of the series, as it does a good job of explaining the basic premise. This way, I can dive in, review the first episode, and explain why TBATE<\/em> is going to be fighting an uphill battle.<\/p>\n
