If you wanted to spend winter binge-watching the escapades of a 34-year-old NEET, Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation is the anime you are looking for.
After its winter 2021 premiere, Rudy and his unexpected isekai adventures soon became a fan-favorite.
Jobless Reincarnation does a fantastic job of delivering the goodness of the isekai genre with a neat twist of fanservice that doesn’t detract from the main plot, which is something that ecchi anime is notorious for.
Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation first started as a web novel and light novel series consisting of 25 volumes each.
Its manga adaptation currently has 15 volumes, and the ongoing anime has been released as a two-part anime with the first part already finished. The anime’s second part released its first episode in October 2021.
To guide you through this fantastic isekai series with ease, I have compiled the lists of release orders and the chronological order of its web novels, light novels, manga, and anime series.

5. Conclusion
The preferred way to start the world of Jobless Reincarnation is to go with the light novels at first, where you would also get additional chapters.
It is common for any reader to stumble upon the differences between web novels and light novels. Simply put, web novels are the first draft, and light novels are the final product.
Both serve their purpose of delivering a great story, yet it is the light novels that will truly elevate your reading experience.
The only thing that distinguishes the light novel from the web novel is volume seven of the light novel series. Volume seven is a fresh addition to the light novel that has little bearing on the plot but does provide necessary information about some of the characters and their overall development.
After finishing all the volumes of the light novels, switch to web novels, and then end your reading journey with the manga of this franchise.
Although the manga is not bad, it is undeniably the weakest amongst the web novels and the light novels that steal the spotlight without any hindrance.
The anime is ongoing, and the second episode of part two is scheduled to be released on 11 October 2021.
