Loner Life Isekai

I just binged this. It was better than I expected but that's only because I wasn't expecting much. I think I agree that it doesn't really deserve a Season 2. Not because it was bad but because by the end of Season 1 it's no longer Loner Life. Like the whole premise is that he has trash skills and is a loner. By the end he's OP and not a loner. And they've exhausted a lot of the unique story elements such as the wall of skills and the cheat skills so moving forward it would just be generic isekai.

moving forward it would just be generic isekai

That is exactly what happens. I read the manga quite a bit past where the anime ends and this is pretty much it. This anime was specifically adapting the manga instead of the light novels. From what I understand, the LNs actually have a bit of a unique (and polarizing) style that sets them apart. By comparison, the manga sticks closer to safe, generic isekai.
