KONOSUBA: God's Blessing on this Wonderful WOrld

A truly wonderful story.

Have you ever imagined going to a fantasy world, like the ones you see in games and read about in light novels? Life is mundane, or perhaps you don't fit in with society. Surely, there would be a parallel world where you could better live your life.

Wait, this world is not what a magical world should be like. In fact, this is worse than the last world! When I first got here, for a brief second, I thought I could do it. How frustrating.

At least in the other world I could spend time at my leisure online. Here I have no such luxury.

Time passes and our hardheaded protagonist finds that the problem is not the world, but himself. It is hard for him to accept the new world, because that would be admitting that he could have done fine in the old one. The relationships he creates with his companions encourage him to accept it. But there are still other challenges. Every so often, he dies and reverts to his old mindset out of instinct. How could he accept living in a world where he keeps dying from seemingly simple things? It could be easier to give up and be reborn. Eventually, however, he comes to realize that he wants to accept the world despite the challenges that it presents.

Summary: Kazuma is whisked away to a fantasy world of his dreams yet still finds fault with it. He eventually realizes he can make life fun if he tries, and that he could have done the same on Earth.
