Good going for Mushoku Tensei!
Edit; The manga ranking on BookWalker is quite a bit different depending on whether you toggled the 'mature' setting or not. With it on, Mushoku Tensei volume 16 switches from 5th place to 11th, with these volumes preceding it;
5th; Please Put Them On, Takamine-san, Vol. 5
6th; You Like Me, Not My Daughter?! Vol. 1
7th; To Save the World, Can You Wake Up the Morning After with a Demi-Human?, Vol. 6
8th; Asumi-chan is Interested in Lesbian Brothels! Vol. 1
9th; Rise of the Outlaw Tamer and His Wild S-Rank Cat Girl Vol. 1
10th; Creature Girls: A Hands-On Field Journal in Another World Vol. 6
...Guess Western readers like their ecchi too.

Indeed, what is good in Mushoku. Typical isekai.

Glad to see The Magical Revolution of the Reincarnated Princess and the Genius Young Lady getting some love.
We don't see enough yuri LN titles in the West and this one is on the higher end in terms of writing. Plus the fantasy elements of the story are well done and fun.
I hope we get a second season of the anime

Eight out of the combined top 10 are Narou isekai stories. Plus Overlord, an isekai WN from another side that got crossposted there.
I guess Bookwalker's audience knows what it likes.

I was initially quite surprised that my favorite isekai series, Ascendance of a Bookworm, came in as high as third place as the main character is not a male escapist character as is the norm. However, I am reminded that we have fully entered Part 5 of the story, where all of the carefully placed dominoes start going off after over 20 volumes of foreshadowing.

Some of these titles i am not shocked at all, they have made a massive amount of influence and gained popularity in these last few years including: Mushoku Tensei, Bookworm, Overlord, Tensei Slime, Im a Spider so what ad Nagatoro
The Few i am surprised are Reincarnated as a Mob, reincarnated as a sword and Arifuerita, It is especially amazing cause i did not think they would of gotten such a big boost and jump in popularity, not that i am complaining as they are all good.
The MAgical Revolution is one i can't really say anything cause i did not read the books or watched the anime but it has to have made a big impression if it is in the top 10. i got to check it out when i have the time.

Mob is easy on the top 5 percent of Isekai plot wise, it does some interesting things with the reincarnated in a game setup. The only real complaint I have about itmis that it does some weird things with the romantic stuff but I prefer weird to boring or bad, and those are explained on my head by the mc being in his late 20 in his previous life and having trouble reconcilying that in his new life.

I'm surprised the spider isekai is still popular after how badly the anime adaptation bombed. I should read the novels sometime.
