I don’t understand the criticism; it's one of the more richly structured and detailed isekai series I've seen, offering so much more compared to other purely indulgent isekai series.

Speaking of TV shows: Movie references made in NBC's Community Disclaimer: The title is a joke. I know most entries are limited series, and I am also aware a lot of the entries aren't the actual TV shows in their entirety, just special or extended episodes. Think of those as being representative of the show, and not the shows themselves. Also, I recently added directly from larger lists that also compiled tv shows in them, but some movies sometimes found their way into those lists, which may be why you’ll see some actual movies on here. Do not hesitate to…

The series starts with an interesting premise but quickly devolves into a third-rate world-hopping web novel.

The initial plot evokes anger and a sense of oppression, with the protagonist gradually transforming from a nobody to a formidable force. However, the later parts of the series tend to decline in quality, almost giving a sense of an unfinished story.

The popularity of isekai stories often lies in their ability to offer an escapist fantasy, but this production is mediocre. I read the first book of the original work, and it was poorly written, not even matching the quality of some of the web novels read a decade ago.

While the plot may seem a bit thin and some parts may not withstand closer scrutiny, it effectively tells a compelling story.

Unlike many typical isekai that grant the protagonist the most powerful abilities from the start, The Rising of the Shield Hero challenges its main character by making him weak and shunned by society. His readiness to use any means — which are harsh but never malevolent — necessary to survive, along with his unwillingness to ignore those in need, suits my taste.
