The first refreshing discovery was that there was no "isekai" protagonist asshole. AT ALL. If you haven't seen it, please do.

You might enjoy Hai to Gensou no Grimgar, but for different reasons. It's much more about the character development and struggles of a group of people trying to learn to work together. Everyone in the group is given fairly equal screen time, and the world is extremely dangerous in similar ways. It's very slow though, sort of plays like Slice of Life but in a world where the only means of earning food involves dealing with dangerous near death experiences regularly.

Unfortunately it's not long enough and the audience didn't take to it immediately because the characters are all slightly unlikeable in various ways to begin with, so it didn't really get the popularity needed for it to get more seasons.
