Japanese working culture and related topics are the hot topic when it comes to anime. Almost every anime out there is made to directly or indirectly be "relatable" or wink at you. Isekaish, OProtagonists, harem, CGDCT and other garbage that is constantly being produced are nothing but some pathetic coward escapism. I obviously speak from my pathetic gaijin point of view yet at the same time i know that japan working culture sucks. 99% of my interactions with anime are with the western point of view so it doesnt matter (what im trying to say is that dont wield your shitty "Japanese people are suffering" when neither ofus is japanese nor someone highly informed about japanese aside from 3 minutes videos in Youtube).
Stuff like this often wields a toxic complacency message on the inside aside from being pure trash on the exterior.

I don't "escape" nor i want to feel related to anime and i cannot "turn off my brain" so im really salty and critic about these things that i cannot enjoy even if someone payed me to watch it.
What i want when watching anime is either lovely fluffy catgirls saying nya or a well tought and properly written narrative with cool characters to follow around.

So i saw Net Juu no Susume as other of these shitty "gamer" relatable turd at first and i only started watching it because they were adult characters (something odd in anime).
Oh boy how wrong i was about my expectations for the show.
Net-juu no Susume its the story of a neet with low self esteem and how she starts to interacting with people irl again.

While quirky, younger and sometimes cringy the characters are lovable and on my humble opinion they actually feel like they could be people you might find irl (if you live in Japan obviously).
My only real gripe with the story was that i felt that Morioka aside from thinking lowly of herself was being patted on the back a little by the anime since aside from her own problems she wasnt facing many consequences to her actions.
I don't know (and probably we will never know since it was canceled) if in the manga they tackle a more tangible problem to the neet state in which Morioka lived but in the end of the anime she seems to be wanting to improve her life and since she adresses the only real problem i had with the story i cant help but give this a 10.
I lack the proper way to describe the story and characters without typing: "healthy", "decent" and "realistic" dozens of times.

Net-juu no Susume doesnt have bombastic fights, complicated love triangles, girls falling from the sky to be your sex slaves, monster girls that let you sexually asault them for no good reason aside from the obvious pathetic self insert aspect of it (Learn Kitsune Senko san!), bikini episodes or toxic romantic relationships.
Its an incredibly down to earth story of friendship, self loathing, roleplay and people speaking about their problems. Talking about your problems?!
Just for that point this anime its worth of a try. Especially if you are also a salty bastard who hates anime like myself.
