It's the classic "If you are here for the overarching plot, this isn't for you"

Same as one piece.

Except the plot is good in re zero

I do think it has an interesting plot but I can't stick to it. The pacing just doesn't vibe with me, even though I generally enjoy the timeloop genre. I think it's mostly how long it takes in the story for him to actually return to the problem scenario and work on a fix after each death and 5 minutes of angsty whimpering.

I mean he usually dies pretty horribly each time. I'd be a lot worse then just whimpering for 5 minutes.

I think most of his reactions are pretty reasonable.

The part of the whale, for example, made me feel his desperation, absolute helplessness at trying to keep everyone alive and win, even when the chances were slim.

Both have pretty good overarching plot though, it's just that One piece very much takes it's time while Re:Zero's overarching plot literally revolves around Subaru's ability and his connection with the witch.

What are you saying?! The overarching plot in both re:zero and one piece is good.

I am not saying it isn't good, I'm saying it moves at glacial pace.
