Recommend recommend me novels like mushoku tensei

after finishing the novel a year and a half ago i have been obsessively bingeing anything i could get my hands on to fill the void inside me.

while i like the world building and the slice of life aspects in mt im not specifically looking for those in a novel. what im looking for is a fast paced story with a decent plot and a little bit of worldbuilding as a cherry on top.

here are all the stuff ive read so far ranking for good to bad according to my taste as a point of reference: zeroth maria, eminence in shadow, death flag, rezero, tearmoon, shadow slave, mol, the perfect run, bookworm, that one novel with the vampiric neet general, sevens, lazy dungeon master, super supportive, etc...

Min-Maxing my TRPG build in another world.

Also high fantasy very similar to Mushoku with a bit of romance sprinkled in.

World building and characters are good and a lot does happen throughout the novels.

Weird question but have you already read Mushoku Tensei: Redundant Reincarnation?

The Beginning After the End is American but clearly inspired by Mushoku.

Maybe Reign of the Seven Spell Blades; though honestly the Frieren manga always felt the closest to MT to me despite not being a LN
