Has anyone else had this problem?

I haven’t watched a lot of anime since I was in high school. There are a lot of tropes that I can’t stand and bore me in a lot of anime series. Since finishing season 1, I’ve tried Demon Slayer, Jujutsu Kaisen, Black Clover, Mashle, and many other anime to fill the void. I just can’t get the same feeling I get from DandaDan. Either there are insufferable “comedic relief” characters, or there is endless self-important monologuing that makes me tune all the way out. I would like to call myself an anime fan. But I might just be a DandaDan fan. Any recommendations for anime that isn’t full of screaming annoying characters and boring self-important training arcs?
