Tv shows that follow a character with limitless potential through a limitless universe.

Let me know if you have watched any shows that have these characteristics. Not just anime. Basically I really enjoy watching shows that stimulate my imagination and follow characters who have immense freedom. A nice break from boring 9-5s that lack just that.

Examples:

Overlord: Nailed it perfect fit.

This show takes place in a game world (which is naturally limitless) and follows a character who was at the top level of the game to start as he has been reincarnated. He also finds out that he and those around him can level without limit in the new world (Limitless potential).

The Rising Shield Hero: Nailed it perfectly. More of a narrow narrative. Starts from the bottom, in a limitless universe with limitless possibilities for opponents with the express purpose of improving. Improvement shows no signs of any limits at the current point in the show.

That Time I got reincarnated as a slime: Nailed it.... but a little childish

The main character has the ability to absorb any ability and it is a fantasy realm with no clear limit on power. Hence he could theoretically gain power up to an unclear limit.

Sword Art Online: Has the general gist of the idea

The difficulty of the floors is unclear and so is the range of the universe. The main character is very strong and only appears to grow stronger through the show.

From weakest to worlds strongest: Lacking depth, but gets the point

The main character starts by showing his ability to accumulate strength much like that time I got reincarnated as a slime. The universe also appears to have limitless potential.

Heroes: Basically Sylar

I thought the concept of Sylar was pretty sweet(He could learn other characters abilities). Based in real world, but limitless potential for abilities. If a show were to have followed Sylar it would fit the mo pretty well.

Shows I have watched that are likely to be suggested: Every show that comes up when typing: "Shows Like overlord" into google in the popular on the web section.

Though the top two are sort of harem hoarders, I am not really a fan of that aspect of them.
