    I think pretty much any power fantasy isekai. It's generally low tier in terms of story, but I can't get enough of it.

    I use databases for anything that needs structured data. I'm currently house hunting so I have a few databases set up for the houses and neighborhoods I'm looking at. They're linked so I can attribute each property to a neighborhood.

    Otherwise, my databases are usually pretty simple. Similar to your daily log in most cases, but with fields that are relevant to the topic. For instance, my recipe database has a cuisine field and my video games database has a platform field.

    Dark City deserves more praise! Unrelated, but I still can't get over how much Rufus Sewell and Joaquin Phoenix look alike.

    Personally still on Notion myself. I find that it allows me to keep things simple with just nested documents or I can take it to the next level with databases. I have a few shared documents with my SO to collaborate on grocery lists and trip planning. It also helps that I use it at work so the functionality is seamless across my work and personal life. It can export and import markdown, so I feel fairly confident that I can migrate to another tool if that ever needs to happen (sans databases I suppose).

    The only annoyance I have so far is that it can sometimes be slow to load up, but writing in it has been perfomant enough. To help with this, I wrote a small Alfred workflow to quickly submit one-liner notes that I can review later without breaking my workstream.

    Honestly, any note taking software is what you make of it. It's probably best to not get too hung up in the nuances of any one tool.
