On the topic of other world stuff, my thoughts generally align with this article:
https://www.forbes.com/sites/olliebarder/2018/08/25/aura-battler-dunbine-blu-ray-review-the-only-isekai-anime-that-really-matters/


But in fairness I've only seen that and Sword Art Online so I'm definitely not an expert in the genre.

Might have to check it out. In terms of SAO, Log Horizon is SAO done well, though it's not immediately obvious. SAO is written by a guy who's played 5 hours of MMO in his life and was frustrated by how he wasn't special from every other people playing it. Log Horizon is written by a guy who's reached post-game and global rankings on some PvP/PvE content in a well renowned MMO that like an entire server would know the name of, and he decided to write a logical and interesting isekai based off his experience.

It actually has themes like dealing with immortality or how to behave as a society amongst a world of objective inferior beings or how to bring an unorganized and unmotivated society together. Also the main character's meticulous unraveling of their new world is quite well done. When he discovers something for the first time, it never feels as though it's because the world itself has lowered its standards to make the main character look good, like in SAO. It's more because the main character is just a really level headed guy who is capable of eventually figuring these things out for the benefit of society. So yeah it's a pretty mature and well written series, by the guy who did Maoyuu Yuusha, aka Econ 101 for anime fans
