Source is: Orb (very good show, also not isekai)

    I want an Isekai where the protagonist is bored of Isekais and kills themselves over and over in search of a world where they want to stay.

    In the last episode they actually find that world but die accidentally.

      There’s a manga called ‘Meccha Shoukan Sareta Ken’ (Overpowered, Oversummoned, and Over It! in English) that kinda does that, at least at the start. But instead of committing suicide the MC keeps getting transported away from whatever world he ends up in to the starter god, with a new ability from each world

      That’s a cool idea. Can be half serious and half parody, where in each episode they explore one or two worlds to decide if they want to live in it. This way the author could jump over multiple genres (and maybe even artstyles).

      It must be out there. With how Mich light novels get churn out someone must have tried it.

      So either it got buried and never got traction, or it was so badly done nobody tried it again.

        If this is the series I think it is, I don’t recall exactly why but I do remember that I was instantly turned off from the series because of how much it felt like it was preening over basic commonsense moves.

          you are correct. this series is bad, for many reasons, but mostly because it has the world be so stupendously backwards that such basic concepts as “recordkeeping” are totally alien, and its magic system is not anything special, it’s literally

          spoiler for those who care (I certainly don't)

          nanomachines because the protagonist is actually in the future all along and it was never hinted at before until the big reveal

    I like how this implies there is a 20 years of being a normal fit human in between the awkward teen and 40y stage.

    I really enjoyed this show until around the last third. It kinda just turned into lots of pseudo scientific yapping at that point. Also the ending was very unsatisfying even if maybe realistic in terms of how history actually went. I feel like after all those iterations of torch carriers they should have shown an actual handover to the generation that successfully publishes, but instead they just decided to be like “And then it randomly just worked itself out years later, THE END”
